a measure which, combined with the ltheral and en!!elitened Oijples

I have directed the &filtrates for the Services of the ensn:na year to
be laid before you, and I entertain no doubt of your readines tc; fur-
nish such supplies as may enah'e me to provide for „the Treat in-
terests commuted to my charge, and afford the best prospk et of
bringing the contest in which his Majesty is augaged to a tt..:,e,,ful
termination.

Toe • approaching expiration of the Chatter of the East Tndia Com-
pany rendeis it iieeessiry that [ should call yoor earliest attention t,
the propriety of providing effectually for the future Government cl the
Provinces of Ttidis.

Lt einisidering the' variety of interests wlnc`i; are connected wfili'lli'.4
important subject, t rely on your wisdom fur such arratg
elit as may best promote the prosperity of the Blitisli possessim sin that
(leerier, and at the sane time secure the greatest adv.aitages to the
commerce and revenue of his
,Majesty's
I have derived great satisfaction from the success of the measures
which have been aaopted for suppressing the spirit of outrace and
insubordination which had appeared in some pars of the toultry ;
and from the di-position whit]) has been rtranite,ted to take advaotaca
of the indemnity held out to the deluded, by the wisdom Rod
fence of Parliament.

I trust I shall never have occasion to lament the recurrence of at-o•
cities so repuvant to the ltriti•h charicter ; and that all his Majesty's
subj..ets will be impressed w,th the convictionohat the hiplines, of
individuals, sod the welfare of the State, equally depends upon 's
strict obedience to the laws, and an attachment to our excellent Gun-
stitut►on.

' In the toyalty of his Majesty's people, (led in the wisdom of Parla-
mem, I have reason to place the fullest coiliy-leuce. 'the same firm.
'less and pe,seserance which halve been Asiiife,ted ci: so many tnid
such trying occaions. Will not, I am Fermis ied, be vrantnig at any titre
when the eyes of all Furope, and of the world, LOC fixed upon you.
I can assure you, that in the cxe;el,e of ihe great trust reposed is me,
I hive no sentiment so near my heart us the d.-sire to promott,
every means in my Fwer, the real prosperity 14sti,g Lapionessof
