"The state of public credit affords a decisive proof of the
wisdom and expediency, under all the present circumstances,

" I have every reason to believe that the deficiency in the
revenue is, in a great degreu, to he ascribed to the unfa-

been sanctioned by Parliament, a gold coinage of a new

as.urances of their friend'sy disposition towards this country,
and of their desire to preserrc the general tranquillity.

" The prospect of an abundant harvest throughout a con-
siderable part of the Continent is in the highest degree satis-

to mitigate, if not wholly to remove, that pressure under which
so many of the nations of Europe hare been suffering in the
course of the last year; and I trust that we may look forward
in consequence to improvement in the commercial relations
of this and of all other countries.

to y,u, that upon your return to your several Counties, you
should use your utmost endeavours to defeat all attempts to
corrupt and mislead the lower classes of the community, and
that you should lose no opportunity of inculcating amongst
them that spirit of concord and obedience to the laws, which
is not less essential to their happiness as individOals, than it
is iadispensible to the general welfare and prosperity of the
kingdom."
