" It is with grgat C.lllCerls that I am again obliged to as-
novae* to yogi the continuance of his Majesty's lamented
indisposition.
" I regret to hare been tinder the necessity of calling you
together at tins period of the year; but the *editions Frac-
veep so long prevalint in some of the manufacturing dis-
t:icts of the country have hero continued with increased ac-
tivity since you awe last assembled in Parliament.
" They hare led to pri.ci riling* incompatible with the
public tranquillity, and with the peaceful habits of the in-
en,itrions classes of the community ; and a spirit is now
fully manifeeird, smelly hostile to the Constitution of this
kingdom, and aiming not only at the change of those poli-
tics! irwitutions +hid, have hitherto constituted the pride
soil security this conutry, but at the subversion of the
r gilts of props.. ty and of all order I. society.

" Although the revenue has undergone some Seeteatime

u.iiisfaction of being able to inform you that it appears to be
.gain in a course of progressive improvement.
Some depression still confiners to exist is certain
hrarches of our manufactures, and I deeply lamest the dis-
t.csii which is in consequence felt by those who more insme-
iiitately d. petal upon them ; but this depression is in a great
measure hi he ascribed to the embarrassed situation (dottier
countrieg, and I earnestly hope that it will be found to be
of a temporal y nature.
" Ali Lords, and Gentlemen,

" I continee to receive from Foreign Powers the etniegest
aisaraneto of their friendly disposition towards this toiletry.
* ft is try most anxious uisli that advantage shoeld be
taken of this season of peace to secure and advance our in.
term, prosperity ; but the successful prosecution of this
object must esseutially depend on the preservation of do-
mestic tranquillity.

Cpou the loyalty of the great body of the people I have
the moat confident reliance ; but it will require your utmost
virhince and exertion, collectively cod individually, to
aindt :Ity d.wietninAtion of the doctrines of treason sod im-
piat►, aird to impress upon the minds of all classes of his
Majesty's subjects, that it i■ from the cultivation of the

hate Lot ewe opinion as to the commencetnent of
his Rsyal Highness's Speech, where he expresses
b!" concern. for the continuation of his Majesty's in-

calling the Parliament, and recommended their at-
tention to such measures as would 'oppress the
