Hence we may learn that many great difficulties are surmounted, because they are not seen by those who direct the execution of any great project; and that many schemes, which theory deems impracticable, will yet succeed in the experiment.
PROCEEDINGS in the ENGLISH PARLIAMENT.
The English parliament assembling on the third day of December, the queen, in her speech to both houses, congratulated them on the glorious successes of her arms.

She desired the commons would grant such supplies as might enable her to improve the advantages of this successful campaign.

She told them that the treaty of union, as concluded by the commissioners of both kingdoms, was at that time under the consideration of the Scottish parliament; and she recommended despatch in the public affairs, that both friends and enemies might be convinced of the firmness and vigour of their proceedings.

The parliament was perfectly well disposed, to comply with all her majesty's requests.

Warm debates were presented by both houses.
