ROYAL SPEECH :

MT LORDS AND a

In recurring, at the usual Demon, to the advice of
my Parliament, cI am happy to think that, in the
internal state of the country, there is nothing to
excite disquietude, and much to call for satisfaction
and thankfulness. Pauperism and crime have con-
Isiderably diminished during the past year; and a
spirit of general contentment prevails.
1 The blessing of the Almighty on the valour of my
troops in India, endear the skill of their commanders,
bas enabled me to inflict signal chastisement upon
those who are still in arms against my au-
thority, whenever they have ventured to encounter my
forces ; and I trust that, at no distant period, I may
be able to announce to you the complete pacification
lof that great empire, and to devote my attention to
the improvement of its condition, and to the oblite-
ration of all traces of the present unhappy conflict.
On sasuming, by your advice, the direct govern-
ment of that portion of my dominions, I 'deemed it
proper to make known by proclamation the
principles by which it was my intention
to be guided, and the clemency which I was
disposed to show towards those who might have
been seduced into revolt, but who might be will-
ing to return to their allegiance. I have directed
that a copy of that proclamation should be laid be-
fore you.
I receive from all foreign powers assurances
of their friendly feelings. To cultivate and confirm
those feelings, to maintain Inviolate the faith of
public treaties, and to contribute, as far as my
influence can extend, to the preservation of the
general peace, are the objects of my unceasing
solicitude.

I have concluded, with the Sovereigns who were
parties to the Treaty of Paris of 11136, a Convention
relative to the organisation of the Principalities of
Moldavia and 'Wallachia. Those Rosman Provinces
are now proceeding to establish ander its provisions,
their new form of government.
A treaty of commerce which I have concluded
with the Emperor of Russia, and which will be laid
before you, is a satisfactory indication of the com-
plete re-establishment of those amicable relations
rwhich, until their late unfortunate interruption, had
long subsisted between us, to the mutual advantage
of our respective dominions.

The measures which, in concert with nay ally
the Emperor of the French, I thought it necessary
to take upon the ooaat of China, have resulted in a
treaty, by which farther effusion of blood has been
prevented, and which holds out the prospect of
greatly-increased intercourse with that extensive and
densely-peopled empire.
Another treaty, into which I have entered with

1 the Emperor of Japan, opens a fresh field for com-
menial enterprise in a populous and highly civi-
lised country, which has hitherto been jealously
guarded against the intrusion of foreigners. As
soon as the ratifications of these treaties shall have

been exchanged, they will be laid before you.
I have groat satisfaction in announcing to you
that the Emperor of the French has abolished a
system of negro emigration from the East Coast of
Africa, against which, as unavoidably tending, how-
ever guarded, to the encouragement of the slave
trade, my government has never ceased to address to
his Imperial Majesty its most earnest, but friendly,
representations.

' This wise act on the part of his Imperial Majesty
induces me to hope that negotiations, now in pro-
gress at Paris, may tend to the total abandonment
