flamed with a just indignatipn ^ at this atrocious invasioii of the natu ^ l rights of mankind , this rf ^< s / a 6 fe billy declared by Mr- WalpoteaVtoc ^ jpto ^ like a decree of Julian the oppetate ,
than a law enacted , by ar Erotefttant Parliament , paased through the House of Commons by ft very gr ^ t majority , 237 against 126 voice * , It was then carried up to the Hou ^ e of Lords , where it excited one of the most violent and memorable debates
which had occurred since the Revolution . A petition from the Dissenters , to be heard by counsel , against the bill , was rejected byi 72 agmnst 66 . Th ^ b ill was eanried by 77 to 72 , The Royal assent was given oa the 25 tli of June to this fSefiwn Act , which was to take effect the 1 st of August
following ; but m the destined coiirse of final events , on thai itetif i&fy a reverse of fortune , fatal to the authors of this Infamous bill , took place—the Queen died I Thus the dynasty of the Stuarts came to a termination , and the last spark of that direful House went out . "
Dr , Watts hailed the accession of Anne to the throne in an Ode to her Majesty , which thus commences : " Queen of the Northern world , whose gentle sway Commands our lore , and charms our hearts t' obey ; Forgive the nation ' s groan when William died .
Lo ! at thy feet , in all th £ loyal pride Of blooming joy , three happy realms appear ; And William ' s urn , almost without a tear , Stands nor complains - while from thy gracious tongnte Peace flows in silver streams amidst the
throng . Amazing balm ! that on those lips was found To soothe the torrent of that mortal wound ,
And calm the wild affright—the terror dies , The bleeding wound cements , the danger flies , And Albion shouts thine honours as her joys arise ! °
