We feel, ,in eotritoon with other nations, the we!ght of the burthens of that war, of the etteets of which, 'in other respects, we have remained free. We have, however, no rea son to fear that this interruption Of, our commercial relations will deaden the spirit and euterprise of a people who are - particularly formed fOr trade.

He pointed out:the atten.; tion paid by the King to the arts and di ntufacluteg, and to agriculture. Among - the objets of this lac kind, to whin he called the attention of the Assem bly, were the cultivation of the.. waste lands, and the improvement of the raced, hors;:s, oxen, and sheep. He next dwelt on the necessity of improving the condition of the Poor, and stated,-.that the Uovern nient was busily occupied with that important ob ject. The ruise,ry of the times having rendered this work indispensible, a Commission bad been an pointed for the express purpose of inquiFing into the state qt :mendicants in the country, and taking; measures to alleviate them.
