gratified she is by these demonstrations, and would wish to Bponvey to all, from the highest to the humblest, her warmest land most heartfelt thanks. It has ever been her greatest object do all she can for her subjects, and to uphold the honour d glory of her dear country, as well as to promote the pro- erity and happiness of those over whom she has reigned so ng ; and these efforts will be continued unceasingly to the last
-op its
Gdstmof her life. The Queen thanks God that he spared her loved child, who is her constant and devoted companion, and nodose who were with her in the moment of danger, as well as A Gtierself, and she prays that he will continue to protect her for her people's sake, as he has hitherto so visibly done." The con- sciousness of the Throne, never absent from Kings, is present in this letter, but the people will be deeply touched both by its piety and its motherliness.
