opened Parliament with the following Speech from the Throne
•' MT LORDS AND GENTLEMEN,
•' I have the satisfaction of informing you, that I continue to
receive from Foreign Powers their strongest assurances of their
rtiendly disposition towards this country.
•• It is impossible for me not to feel deeply interested in any
event that may have a tendency to disturb the peace of Europe.
—My endeavours have, therefore, been directed, in conjunction
w tit my Allies, to the settlement of the differences which have
unfortunately arisen between the Court of St. l'etersburgh and
tructuan Porte; and I have reason to entertain hopes that
there• differences will be satisfactorily adjusted.
l❑ my late visit to Ireland. I derived the most sincere gra-
tiscation from the loyalty and attachmera manifested by all
z/e.:ses of my subjects.
With this impression, it must be matter of the deepest
c"cern to me, that a spirit of outrage which has led to daring
slid systematic violations of the law has arise.i. anti still prevails

in some part. of that country.
" I am determined to use all the means in my power fur the
protection of the persons and pmperty of my loyal and p.xceable
subjects. And it will be your immediate consideration whether
the existing laws are sufficient for thi; purpose.
Notwithvanding this serious interruptim of public tran-
irailiity, I have the satisfaction of believing that my pre.ence in
Island hits been productive of very beneficial effl-eis, and all des-
criptions of my people may confidently rely upon the just and
equal administration of the laws, and upon my paternal solici-
tude fur their welfare.

" PENTLE3IIIN Of TIIE HOESE OT COMIA,IN'S,

before you. They have been framed with every attention to
economy which the circumstances of the country will permit;

make a large reduction in our annual expenditure, particularly
in our Naval and Military Establishments.
