1 . That having experienced from the Prince Regent ' s Government the most prompt and polite attention to their application respecting the Protestants of France—having received their assurances " that it has been the
invariable object of the British Government , and of their allies , to sup *> port , and on every suitable occasion to assert , the principles of Religious Toleration and Liberty , and that in their recent communications with the
Government of France , they have brought forward these principles as the foundation of their poliey , and of their fust expectations : —and that they are , therefore , using their best efforts to arrest the progress of evils whiej *
they most deeply deplore ;"—and having been convinced of the benefits which have already resulted from their avowal of this policy , and from the declaration of these truly British and honourable sentiments , this Com-.
mittee cannot delay to record and to communicate their cordial gralitu 4 e to the Right Honourable the Earl Of Liverpool , and to the other Members of the present Administration , for their , past and useful efforts , and for their
judicious and liberal disposition to maintain , on behalf of the Protestants of Prance , those great principles of Religious Freedom which this Committee most devoutly approve , and are appointed to protect .
2 . That desirous to co-operate with the British Government in conduct so enlightened and beneficent , this Committee will continue to observe the measures which may occur in France * and will neither abate their vigilance , nor their humbler but utmost
exertions , until the Protestants of that country shall be allowed practically , perfectly , and permanently , to exercise that Liberty of Worship , and those Rights of Conscience , which th ^ Con - stitutional Chapter of their own Monarch has justly recognized * , jp &wSh , his recent Ordoimfcttce btfr win *!* ** e-
