The Lord Wharton reported His Majesty's Answer to the Address; which was in Writing, signed by His Majesty; and being delivered to the Lord Chancellor, was read by him, as follows:

King's Answer to the Address, about the Scots Settlement at Darien, recommending the Consideration of an Union between England and Scotland.

"William R.

"His Majesty having received a very dutiful Address from the House of Peers, in relation to the Endeavours lately used by some of His Majesty's Subjects of the Kingdom of Scotland towards making a Settlement at Darien; in which they humbly represent to Him their Opinion, That such a Settlement is inconsistent with the Good of the Plantation Trade of this Kingdom; is pleased to let the House know, That He will always have a very great Regard to their Opinion; and to assure them, that He will never be wanting by all proper Means to promote the Advantage and Good of the Trade of England: At the same Time His Majesty is pleased to declare, That He cannot but have a great Concern and Tenderness for His Kingdom of Scotland, and a Desire to advance their Welfare and Prosperity; and is very sensibly touched with the Loss His Subjects of that Kingdom have sustained, by their late unhappy Expeditions, in order to a Settlement at Darien: His Majesty does apprehend, that Difficulties may too often arise, with respect to the different Interests of Trade between His Two Kingdoms, unless some Way be found out to unite them more nearly and compleatly; and therefore His Majesty takes this Opportunity of putting the House of Peers in Mind of what He recommended to His Parliament soon after His Accession to the Throne, that they would consider of an Union between the Two Kingdoms. His Majesty is of Opinion, that nothing would more contribute to the Security and Happiness of both Kingdoms; and is inclined to hope, that, after they have lived near a Hundred Years under the same Head, some happy Expedient may be found for making them One People, in case a Treaty were set on Foot for that Purpose; and therefore He does very earnestly recommend this Matter to the Consideration of the House."

Address and Answer to the printed.

It is ORDERED, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled, That the Lord Chancellor of England do give Order, That the Address of this House presented to His Majesty, and His Majesty's most Gracious Answer thereunto, be forthwith printed and published.

It is ORDERED, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled, That a Copy of the said Account be sent to the Commissioners of the Navy; and that they give this House an Account, in Writing, Whether any, or what, of the Species therein mentioned, are useful for the Navy? And whether any, or which of them have been bought for the Use of the Navy?"
