• recently adopted IT the Govern,,,ent of the United States of Ame-
ricirtowards this country, hisi Royid Highness is nevertheless willin4
hope, that the accustomed relations of peace and amity between
the two countries may yet be restored ; but if his expectations in this
• respect should be disappointed, by the conduct of the Government
`• the Unite.l States, or by their perseverance in any unwarrantable
preteu,ions, he will most fully rely on the support of ►very class of
Majesty's subjects, in a contest in which the honour of his Majesty's
crown, and the best interests of his dominions, must be involved.
Genaeinen or the House rf Commons,
" We have it in command from his Royal Highness, to thank you for
the liberal provision which you have made ior the services of the pre-
sent year. His Royal Highness deeply regrets the burthens which
you have found it necessary to impose upon his Majesty's people; but
he applauds the wisdom which has induced you ti,J largely to provide
for the exigencies of the public service, as affording the best prospect
of bringing the contest in which the country is engaged to a successful
and honourable conclusii,n.

" iII j Lords and Goa/omen,
4, His Royal Highliess has observed, with the utmost concern, the
spirit of insubordination and outrage which has appeared in some parts
of the country, and which has been manifested by acts, not only de-
s:ructive of the pr.perty and personal &arty of many of his Majesty's
local subjects in those districts, but disgraceful to the British character.
His Royal Highness feels it ineumbent upon him, to acknowledge your
diligence in the investigation of the causes which led to these outrages;
and he has commanded us to thank you for the wise and salutary tnea-
seres which you have adopted on this occasion. It will be a principal
object of his Royal Highness's attention, to make an effectual and
prudent use of the powers vested Li him tOr the protection of his Ma-
jesty's people ; and he confidently trusts, that on your return into your
respective coinitiei, he may rely on your exertions fur the preserva-
tion of the public peace, and fur bringing the disturbers of it to jus-
tice. His Royal Highness most earnestly recommends to you, the
importance of incatcating, by every means in your power, a spirit of
obedience to those laws, and of attachment to that Constitution, which
provides equally for the happiness and wellfare of all classes of his
Majesty's subjects, and on which have hitherto depended the glory
and prosperity of this kingdom."
