58 18th January 1814 To His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales REGENT of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. The humble, dutiful, and loyal Address of the Gentlemen, Clergy, and Freeholders of the County of Surrey May it please your Royal Highness, We, His Majesty’s loyal subjects, the Gentry, Clergy, and Freeholders of the County of Surrey, beg leave humbly to present to your Royal Highness, our warmest congratulations on the signal success with which it has pleased Divine Providence to bless the arms of His Majesty and of His Allies. The great and successive victories obtained under Field-Marshal the Marquess of Wellington, have excited in us the most unbounded admiration of the military talents of that great Commander, as well as the deepest sense of the services rendered, both to the Peninsula and to the cause of Europe, by the efforts of his combined and brave army, and the valour, skill, and unanimity of the confederated powers in the North of Europe, magnanimously pursuing one common object, have already effected the overthrow of the great and formidable armies to which they were opposed, the discomfiture of their leader, and the deliverence of a great part of Europe from his odious tyranny and oppression We cordially sympathize with your Royal Highness in the auspicious rescue of His Majesty’s electoral dominions from the grasp of this lawless and unprincipled invader, and in their restoration to the mild and paternal Government of their rightful Sovereign. We contemplate also with peculiar satisfaction the spirit which animated the United Netherlands, even antecedently to the arrival of any part of the allied armies, or any aid from Great Britain, to throw off the rigorous and humiliating yoke of France, and to reassume that rank among the powers of the Continent which had been obtained for them by the valour and perseverance of their ancestors. We beg to assure your Royal Highness of our eagerness to support every effort of His Majesty’s Government to protect and secure the independence of Holland, as well as to promote the re-establishment of the several States of Europe on just and permanent foundations In thus humbly representing to your Royal Highness our readiness to meet those further difficulties, and to make those extraordinary exertions which the vast importance of the interests at issue appear to us at this period of the contest imperiously to require, we derive peculiar confidence and encouragement from the consideration, that the declared object of your Royal Highness, and of His Majesty’s Allies, is a pacification upon general principles of justice and equality, directed to the benevolent end of termination those miseries which the ambition of the French ruler has so long inflicted on surrounding countries, consistent with the independence of the nations engaged with us in the contest, and tending to the permanent and general security of Europe. Signed at the request and on behalf of the County of Surrey, at a public meeting at Epsom, upon the 17th day of December, 1813.

To a Princess bred in the matured principles of the British Constitution, and to a Prince descended from the line whence our early Monarchs sprang, under whose wise and salutary institutions the energies of the British character were first developed, we may confidently look to the continued protection of our civil and religious liberties, and the equal administration of those laws, which, for more than a century have secured the happiness of the subject, and bound them in the indissoluble bonds of grateful and loyal attachment to the Family of your Royal Highness. The inhabitants of Surrey view with peculiar gratification and increased interest, the circumstance of your Royal and Serene Highnesses having shewn the flattering preference of making their county the seat of your residence; most fervently they pray that it may be long the scene of unvaried domestic happiness to your Highnesses, and that when it shall please the Almighty, in His wisdom, to call your Royal Highness to the Government of these realms, the mild spirit in which you will administer the principles of our invaluable Constitution, may secure and increase to the person of your Royal Highness that firm attachment and unshaken loyalty, which the Princes of your Royal House have so long and pre-eminently enjoyed beyond the Sovereign of any other country, and have been the brightest ornament and firmest support of the British Throne.

To a Princess descended from that race, nurtured in the principles of the British Constitution, and imbued with every moral and religious virtue, and to a Prince descended from a line of Monarchs, to whose wise laws we owe the foundation of our glorious Constitution, and of a family long distinguished for its attachment to the Protestant cause, we may confidently look to that support of our Constitution in Church and State, to that continued protection of our liberties, and equal administration of our laws, which have heretofore characterised the Princes of your royal House, and established their rule over these realms, on the firmest basis of all human power, the hearts of a loyal and enlightened people. It is our ardent prayer, that this propitious and important event may be attended with all the happiness to Her Royal and His Serene Highnesses, to which their personal merits so justly entitle them, and with all that benefit to the nation which we are confident it was the object of your royal Highness’s paternal and beneficent intention to secure to us.

Impressed with a grateful sense of the manifold blessings, we in common with our fellow subjects of the United Empire, enjoy under the mild and paternal Government of Your Royal Highness, acting for and on behalf of His Majesty, we are unable to express in adequate terms the horror and indignation we feel at the daring and traitorous outrage with which it has been attempted to assail the sacred Person of your Royal Highness, on your return from the Lords House of Parliament, from the exercise of the most solemn and important function which by the law and Constitution of this Country, is placed in the hands of the Sovereign, as head of the Legislature of these realms. Most deeply we deplore the spirit of discontent, with which it has been in the power of wicked and designing men to infect the minds of any portion of the lower orders of the people – a spirit to which we the more readily attribute the ferocious attempt upon the Person of your Royal Highness, from our persuasion, that while it professes the specious and delusive pretext of reform, it aims at the destruction of our laws, and the subversion of our civil and religious institutions; while with profound sentiments of gratitude to the Almighty, we approach your Royal Highness with our congratulations that he has vouchsafed your providential escape from the traitorous designs with which you have been encompassed. We beg to renew the assurance of our attachment to your Royal Highness and to the Constitution as by law established, and of our determination to uphold your Royal Highness in the exercise of the high authorities with which you are invested: and we pray, that your Royal Highness’s invaluable life may long be spared for the happiness of His Majesty’s subjects, and the tranquillity and prosperity of these kingdoms.

72 5th January 1819 To His Royal Highness George Prince of Wales, Regent of the United Kingdom. The humble Address of the Nobility, Gentry, Clergy, And Freeholders of the County of Surrey.

When we reflect that a reign of unusual duration was passed by Her late Majesty in the undeviating practice of piety, benevolence, and every christian virtue; in the dignified discharge of the obligations of her high station, and in setting a brilliant example of the performance of the important duties of a Wife and a Mother, to the encouragement of her subjects in the practice of those virtues, and in the public discountenance of those who were remiss in the observance of them; and feeling as we do, that the strength and energies of a nation depend upon its moral character, while we are impressed with the warmest gratitude to Providence for vouchsafing us the blessing of such a reign, we are penetrated with feelings of zeal and unfeigned sorrow at being deprived of an example which proves to the world, that the virtues best calculated to foster the relations, and add to the happiness of private and domestic life in all other classes of society, are those, which most dignify and add lustre to a Throne. Permit us, Sir, in expressing the feelings of our sorrow, not only for the loss of your Royal Highness’s most excellent Parent, but for the protracted sufferings which preceded her dissolution, to say, that it has been a source of happiness to us to observe, as it will be matter of consolation to your Royal Highness to the last hour of your life to reflect, that the anguish of those sufferings was assuaged by the balm of filial tenderness, and by the endearing and unremitting attentions which Her Majesty received from your Royal Highness, and those Members of your Royal House, who were present to pay these last tributes of gratitude and affection. To these expressions of our sympathy in an event, which casts a cloud over the prosperity the nations has enjoyed under the rule of your Royal Highness, we beg to be permitted to add the assurance of our inviolable fidelity to the government exercised by your Royal Highness in the name and on the behalf of His most sacred Majesty, of our attachment to your Royal Person, and of the confidence we entertain, that by the wisdom of your Royal Highness’s councils, the glories the nation has obtained, and the advantages it enjoys, will, with the blessing of God, be perpetuated to us, and our posterity through ages under the government of your Royal Highness, and a succession of Princes of the illustrious house of Hanover.
