the House of Commons to his Majesty in the last Session of
Parliament by which You will perceive how much they appre-
hend the Commerce of Great Britain to have been affected by

Majestys Colonies in America; and his Majesty, in pursuance
of the said Address, having sent Circular Instructions to the
several Colonies more immediately under his Government,
not to pass any more Bills for the issuing of Paper Money,
