" Gentlemen.—Agricultnre, commerce, and trade,
constitute the prosperity and welfare of States. Far
from being inclined to lay any bonds on his subjeas,
the King. has called the estates of the Kingdom to-
gether, in order to consult with them on the means
of extending the boundaries of commerce, that in-
fallible securi y for the power of nations. You will
support his fatherly intentions. The love of your
native country will be the leading point to be kept
in your consultations, and you will spew what a
nation is capable of effecting, when determined to
free its commercial itidustry from all foreign yokes.
" Dnubt not, Gentlemen, of my sentiments to-
wards you ; you are deserving of them for the uti-
lity you bring to your native country.",
