which I felt it my duty to mavkietosuypopuoratt
to hthtcoepßelotiynagl
uth
session, and for the effec:ual provisim which you so promptly
made for the purpose of giving
rity, and aid to your loyal fellow subjects in the Sister Pro-
vince, recently the scene of revolt. of the
My acknowledgments are further due to , ou for the at.-
tenticn which you have paid to the general {usiness of the

Session, as well as to thole subjects which I have from time
to time brought under your consideration. Intimately ac-
quainted as you necessarily are with the actual condition of
the province, I do not allow myself.to doubt that those ques-
tions have been disposed of in the manner most accordant
with its true interests.

" I thank you in her Majesty's name for the liberality with
-which you hove granted the supplies for the various exigencies
of the public service, and more especially for having made a
suitable provision for the important office of Master of the
Rolls; and I will add in my own name, and in that of my suc-
cessors in the administration of this Government, for the great
attention which has been paid to the accommodation of her
Majesty's representative, in the thorough repairs mane, and
furniture added, to the Government House.
" It only remains for me to assure you that it will be my
endeavour to apply your appropriations to their respective oh.-
jects, with a due attention to that just economy which appears
to me to consist in giving the fullest effect to the service in
view, without unnecessary expense to the public.
" Upon the result of your joint labours I offer you my con-
gratulations, and, above all, I wish to record my approbation
of that spirit of cordiality and unanimity which has charac-
terized all your proceedings.
" The Legislative duties of the Session appear to me to
have been conducted in the true spirit of that revered Consti-
tution to which the people of this province have on so many
occasions shown their zealous attachment, and which I am con-
vinced it will be your care and your determination to transmit
unimpaired to your descendants.
" In releasing you from further attendance upon your Legis-
lative duties, I look forward with satifaction and confidence to
again meeting you in Provincial Parliament at the usual
period, or whenever the state of public affairs may appear to
me to require that you should be convened.
" In concluding this address, I advert with feelings of proud
emotion to your joint resolution, which has just been presented
to me, placing at my disposal the sum of 10,0001. fer the pur-
pose of enabling me to meet any emergency which may arise
out of the state of affairs now existing betwixt the British and
American Governments, in consequence of the lawless and
hostile proceedings of the armed banditti by which 'the fron-
tiers of Upper and Lower Canada are threatened from the
United States, and for the object of preserving that connec-
tion with the mother country which is so warmly cherished by
the inhabitants of this province.

" Gentlemen,—By England's Queen—by the British people
—and by your loyal fellow-subjects of these and every other
colony of this vast empire—will your noble conduct at this
crisis be duly appreciated.
" For myself I can no otherwise repay the confidence which
you have been pleased to repose in me than by devoting my
utmost energies to the glorious cause of preserving our soil
from violation by hostile foreigners, and of maintaining to the
loyal inhabitants of these truly British colonies the blessings
of British connexion, for which they hare so unequivocally
evinced their attachment and preference."
