[Feb. 1, 



their fiieiidly dispoeitiou towards this 

 oountvy. 



" It will be a matter of deep reeict to 

 me, if the occurrences which iiave lately 

 taken place in Italy should eveuiuatly lead 

 to any intt'rrupiion of tranquill y in that 

 quarter; but it will, iu such case, be my 

 jrrcat ohjecf to secure to my people the 

 continuance of peace. 



" GeiitUmen oj the House of Common!:, 

 " The meHSurt^s by which, in the last 

 Session of Farliament, you made provision 

 for the expencps of my Civil Government, 

 and for the bonour and difjnity of the 

 Crown, demand my warmest acknowledg- 

 ments. 



«' I have directed that the Estimates for 

 the current year shall be laid before you, 

 and it is a satisfaction to me to have been 

 enabled to make some reduction in our 

 Military Establishments. 



" You will observe from the Accounts of 

 the Public Revenue, that notwithstanding 

 the Receipts in Ireland have proved ma- 

 terially deficient, in consequence of the 

 unfortunate "ircumstances which have af- 

 fected the Commercial Credit of that part 

 of the United Kinardom, and although our 

 Foreign Trade, during the early part of 

 this time, was in a state of dcDre^sion, 

 the total Revenue has nevertheless ex- 

 ceeded that of the preceding year. 



" A considerable pan of this increase 

 must be ascribed to the new taxes; but in 

 some of those- branches which are the 

 surest indications of internal wealth, the 

 augmentation has fully realised any ex- 

 pectation which could have been reason- 

 ably formed t f it. 



« 'Jhc separate provision which was 

 made for the (^ueen, as Princess of Wales, 

 in the * par 1»U, terminated with the de- 

 mise of his late Majesty. 



" I have in the n»ean time, directed 

 advances, us authorised hv Law; and it 

 ■will, under present circumstances, be for 

 you' to consider what new arrangements 

 should be made on this cubjej-t. 

 " My Lords andOentle.men, 

 «' 1 have grent pleasure in beniir able 

 to acquaint you, that a considerable im- 

 provement has taken place withii! the last 

 half year in several of the raost important 

 branches of our commerce and manufac- 

 tures ; and that iu inanyoi' the manufac- 

 turing districts the distresses which pre- 

 vniled at the coramencemeut of the last 

 Session of Parliament have greatly abated. 

 "It will he my most anxious desire to 

 concur in every measure which may be 

 calculated to advance our internal pros- 

 perity. 



« I well know that, notwithstanding the 

 agitations produced by temporary circum- 

 •rances, and amidst the distress which 

 ■till presses tipon a large portion of my 



subjects, the firmest reliance may be 

 placed on that affectionate and loyal at- 

 tachment to my Person and Government, 

 of which I have recently received so many 

 testimonies from all parts of my kingdom ; 

 and which, whilst it is most grateful to 

 the strongest feelings of my heart, 1 shall 

 ever consider as the best and unrest safe- 

 guard of my Throne. 



" In the discharge of the important 

 duties imposed upon you, you will, I am 

 confident, be sensible of the indispensible 

 necessity of promoting and maintaining, 

 to the utmost of your power, a due obe- 

 dience to the laws, and of instilling into 

 all classes of my subjects, a respect for 

 lawful authority, and for those establi bed 

 Instituiions, under which the country has 

 been enabled to overcome so many diffi- 

 culties, and to which, under Providence, 

 may be ascribed our happiness and re- 

 nown as a nation."'
