He said...
Trang 226 - On the fifteenth day of February the king sent a message to both Houses of Parliament, intimating the arrival of the pretender's son in France, the preparations at Dunkirk, and the appearance of a French fleet in the English channel. They joined in an address, declaring their indignation and abhorrence of the design formed in favour of a popish pretender ; and assuring his majesty, that they would, with the warmest zeal and unanimity, take such measures as...
