made a peaceful progress through the districts which
had been the principal scene of disorder, and,
by a judicious oombination of firmness and
generosity my authority has been everywhere
solidly and, I trust, permanently established.
I have received from my Viceroy the most
gratifying accounts of the loyalty of my Indian sub-
jects, and of the good feeling evinced by the native
chiefs and the great landowners of the Gauntry.
The attention of the government in India has been
directed to the development of the internal re-

I am glad to be able to inform you that the public

MI LOADS AND GENTLEMEN,

I have accepted, with gratification and pride, the

extensive offer of volantary servioe which I have
received from my subjects. This manifestation of
public spirit has added an important element to our
system of national defense.
Meames will be laid before you for amending the
laws which regulate the representation of the people
1 in parliament, and for placing that representation
upon a broader and firmer basis.
I earnestly recommend you to resume your labours
for the improvement of our jurispradenoe, and par-
ticularly in regard to bankruptcy, the transfer of
land, the consolidation of the statutes, and snob a
further fusion of law and equity as may be neces-
sary to insure that, in every suit, the rights of the
parties may be eatisfeeterily determined by the
court in which the suit is esstreasoed.

obedience to the law.

317 LOADS AND GENTLEMEN,

It is with great satisfaction that I again meet you
in parliament, and have recourse to your aasistance
and advice.

My relations with Foreign Powers continue to be
oa a friendly and satisfactory footing.
At the close of the lost amnion I informed you
that overtures bed been made to me to ascertain
whether, if a ossibroaos should be held by the Great
Powers of Europe, for the purpose of settling
arrangements connected with the present state and
tutus condition of Italy, • plenipotentiary would
be mat by me to mist at such a con-
istsnoe. I have since received a formal invitation
from the Emperor of Austria and from the Emperor
of the French to send a plenipotentiary to a con-
pea to consist of the representatives of the eight
powers who were parties to the Treaties of Vienna
of 1816; the objects of such congress being stated
to be to receive communication of the treads low
eluded at Zurich ; and to deliberate, associating with
the above-mentioned powers, the coarts of Rome, of

Sardinia, and of the Two Similes, on the means best
adapted for the pacifleation of Italy, and for placing
its prosperity on a solid and durable basis.
Dosing', at all times, to concur in procesdinp
having for their object the maintenance of pesos, I
accepted the invitation, but, at the same time, I
made known that, in sash a congress, I should
steadfastly maintain the principle that no external
Gist should be employed to impose upon the people
of Italy say particular government or constitution.
111 P Ckeenstasess have arisen which have led to a
pastpommeent of the oongrees, without any day
hariag been fixed for its emoting; but whether in
mmgrus ar in equate negotiation, I shall endeavour
I to obtain for the people of Italy freedom from foreign
lateeferenos by force of arms in their internal eon-
COM ; and I trust that the affairs of the Italian
peninsula may be peacefully and satisfactorily
settled.

Papers on this subject will soon be laid before
yolk _

_
I am in communication with the Emperor of the
French with a view to extend the commercial int/ar-
ming between the two countries, and thus to draw
still elan the bonds of friendly 111114.000 between
them.

A diapute having arisen between Spain and
Morocco, I endeavoured, by blindly meant, to pre-
vent a rapture; but, I regret to say, without
success.

I will direct papers on this subject to be laid
before you.
My plenipotentiary and the plenipotentiary of
the Emperor of the French having, in obedient* to
their instructions, proceeded to the mouth of the
Peiho river, in order to repair to Pekin to ex-
change in that city the ratifications of the Treaty
of Tien-tein, in pursuance of the LVlth Article of
that Treaty, their further progress wee opposed by
force, and a conflict took place between the Chinese
forts at the mouth of the river, and the naval forces
by which the plenipotentiaries were escorted.
The allied forces displayed on this OMNI= their
anal bravery, but, after sustaining • WWI Inn,
wore compelled to retire.
I am preparing, in concert and co-operation with
the Emperor of the French, an expedition, intended
to obtain redress and a fulfilment of the stipulations
of the Treaty of Ties-tein.

It will be ratifying to me, if the prompt saga-
sumos of the Emperor of China in the moderato
demands which will be made by the plenipotemtiarles
shall obviate the necessity for the employment at
fore*.

I have directed that papers on this subject shall
be laid before you.

An unauthorised proceeding by an officer of the
United States in regard to the Island of San Juan,
between Vancouver's Island and the mainland, might
have led to a serious collision between my forces sad
