MAJESTY'S

have much satisfaction in being able to release

• not take leave of you without expressing
11113' grateful sense which of the assiduity and zeal with
lieu of h You have applied yourselves to the considera-
the public interests.
Our attention has been principally directed to
the 11. e
receasures of immediate relief, which a great and
'unpdented calamit
I have y rendered necessary.
'whic given my cheerful assent to those laws

sugar in breweries and distilleries, tend to increase
the quantity of human food, and to promote corn-
kereial intercourse
' .
I rejoice to proposed nfind that you have in no instance
eestrictions, or interfered with the
libertyliber w rof foreign or internal trade, as a mode of
g distress. I feel assured that such measures
the generally ineffectual, and in some cases aggravate
The evils, for the alleviation of which they are
klopted.
I cordiall

my assent to various Bills calculated to promote the
agriculture, and develope the industry of that portion
of the United Kingdom. My attention shall be

attended with success, and that
the e.vil war
which for many months had afflicted
that

termination.
I inodulge the hope that future differences be-

ppeal to arms.
1 t- GENTLEMEN OF THE noun OF COMMONS,
'.
I thank you for your willingness in granting me
the necessary supplies ; they shall be applied with due
careand economy to the public service.
I am happy to inform you that, notwithstand-
ing the high price of food, the revenue has, up
to the present time, been more productive than
I had reason to anticipate. The increased
use of articles of general consumption has chiefly con-
, tributed to this result. The revenue derived from
sugar especially has been removal of the greatly augmented by the
prohibitory duties on foreign sugar.
The various grants which you ha
education in the United Kingdom will ve ,
I trmade
u for
• st, be
conducive to the religious and moral improvement of
My. people.

great body of my people.
that the dearth by which we have be y God
