QUEEN'S SPEECH.

MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN,
I avail myself with satisfaction, in the present
anxious state of public affairs, of the advice of my
Parliament, which I have summoned to meet with
the least possible delay.
I have directed that papers shall be laid before
you, from which you will learn how earnest and
unceasing have been my endeavours to preserve the

peace of Europe.
Those endeavours have unhappily failed ; and
war has been declared between France and Sar-
dinia on one side, and Austria on the other. Re-
ceiving assurances of friendship from both the
contending parties, I intend to maintain between
them a strict and impartial neutrality ; and I hope,
with God's assistance, to preserve to my people
the blessing of continued peace.
Considering, however, the present state of Europe,
I have deemed it necessary to the security of my
dominions and the honour of my Crown to increase
my naval forces to an amount exceeding that which
has been sanctioned by Parliament.
I rely with confidence on your cordial concur-
rence in this precautionary measure of defensive
policy.
The King of the two Sicilies having announced
to me the death of the King, his father, and his own
accession, I have thought fit, in concert with the
Emperor of the French, to renew my diplomatic
intercourse with the Court of Naples, which had
been suspended during the late reign.
All my other foreign relations continue on a
perfectly satisfactory footing.
GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS,
The Estimates for the year, for which provision
has not been made by the late Parliament, will be
himediately laid before you, together with such
Supplementary Estimates as present circumstances
render indispensably necessary for the public
service.

MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN,

I have directed a bill to be prepared for giving
effect, so far as the aid of ParNamext may be re-
quired, to certain suggestions of the Commissioners
whom I had appointed to inquire into the best
mode of efficiently manning the Royal Navy ; and
I recommend this important subject to your imme-
diate attention.

Measures of legal and social improvement, the
progress of which, in the late Parliament, was
necessarily interrupted by the dissolution, will
again be brought under your consideration.

I should with pleasure give my sanction to any
well-considered measure for the amendment of
the laws which regulate the representation
of my people in Parliament ; and should you be
of opinion that the necessity of giving your
immediate attention to measures of urgency
relating to the defence and financial condition of
the country will not leave you sufficient tinr4 for
legislating, with due deliberation, during ',;he pre-
sent Session, on a subject at once o difficult
and so extensive, I trust that at the com-
mencement of the next Sessicco, your earnest
attention will be given to a quristion, of which an
early and satisfactory settlement would be greatly
to the public advanta,,e.
I feel assured that you win enter with zeal and
diligence on the discharge of your parliamentary
duties, and I pray that tho
result of your delibera-
tions may tend to secure the continuance of peace
