From every point of view in which it can be considered, the people of the United Kingdom may cherish the happiest presages from this auspicious event. The intellectual accomplishments, the moral principles, and the amiable manners, of your illustrious Consort, acknowledged by the unanimous judgment of those who know him best, and by the report of universal famę, evince the wisdom of the choice which your Royal Highness has made. "But when we contemplate the character of the distinguished Princess, to whom he is now united, we are sure that we do not deceive ourselves, in the ardour of an overflowing zeal, into an unfounded anticipation of the most fortunate results from this connubial alliance. Your Royal Highness has honoured and gratified this town with your residence for two successive seasons; and therefore we are in some measure competent, from ocular evidence, to form an estimate of those talents, virtues, and graces, which have already opened with so bright a dawn. We have seen with infinite delight the Heiress of the British throne, adorning her high station with those exalted attainments of the mind, and those tender sensibilities of the heart, which endear her to every rank in life, and irresistibly attract the admiration of mankind. We have remarked the pre-eminent example which you have held out to us by your exact attention to those duties of Religion, and by your unremitted exercise of that benevolence and charity, which are the choicest ornaments of a Christian, and the most splendid jewels of an earthly crown. We have felt the full impression of that dignified affability, and of that condescending goodness, which universally characterized your deportment towards all the inhabitants of this place. "This fair assemblage of various excellence at such early years, has drawn the warmest affections of our hearts to the person of your Royal Highness. In the fervour of the unshaken loyalty, manifested by us at all periods to that august Family from which you are descended, we have reason to felicitate our country, and be grateful to the Giver of every good gift, that a young Princess, conspicuous for those endowments which are the true glory of human nature, is destined to sway the sceptre of these realms. We rejoice in the prospect, that when our beloved Monarch and your illustrious Father shall have finished their course, (though late indeed may that day arrive!) you will, like them, be the defence and security of the Protestant cause, the supporter of our Constitution in Church and State, the Protectress of our religious and civil liberties, and the proud boast of this great and high-spirited nation. "We offer up our earnest supplications, that God would be graciously pleased to shower down upon your Royal Highness, and your august Husband, the most precious blessings of the conjugal life; and that, from this union, may spring a race of future Sovereigns, who, forming their principles and conduct on the model of their progenitors, shall render this country flourishing and happy under their mild and equitable government.” "To His Serene Highness Leopold, Prince of Saxe-Cobourg. We, the Inhabitants of the Borough and Town of Weymouth and Melcombe Regis, respectfully beg permission to offer your Serene Highness our warmest congratulations, on your auspicious union with our gracious Princess Charlotte-Augusta. "The long residence of Her Royal Highness at this highly favoured place, has afforded us peculiar opportunities of witnessing those amiable and endearing manners, those accomplishments and virtues, which she so eminently possesses. 1 "In, her we are assured you will find whatever can delight the soul and enchain the heart. "The trump of fame has loudly sounded the heroic deeds of your Serene Highness, in the recent awful conflicts which have so happily given repose to Europe-they demand our esteem and gratitude; but, Sir, we have still more to admire in you, those other manly virtues and qualities of the heart, of which the general voice speaks so highly.b "That your Serene Highness and your Royal Bride may long live in mutual bliss, is our unfeigned prayer." To these Addresses they were pleased to return the following gracious answer: "GENTLEMEN, "You will be assured it affords us particular satisfaction to receive the addresses and congratulations of the Inhabitants of Weymouth, so long distinguished in their firm and continued loyalty; and we desire you will make known to the Inhabitants of Weymouth, the pleasure we must feel in the assurances of their regard and attachment."
