" MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN,

" We are commanded by His MAJESTY, in
releasing you from your attendance in Parlia-
ment, to express to you His MAJESTY'S ac-

knowledgments for the zeal and assiduity with
which you have applied yourselves to the dis-
patch of the public business—and especially
to the consideration of those important mat-
ters which His MAJESTY recommended to your
attention at the opening of the Session.

" His MAJESTY directs us to inform you,

:hat he continues to receive,from his Allies, and

from all Foreign Powers, assurances of their
earnest desire:to cultivate the relations of peace,
and maintain the most friendly understanding
pith his MAJESTY.
" His MAJESTY laments that he has not to
announce to you the termination of the War in
the East of Europe. But his MAJESTY com-
mands us to assure you that he will continue.
to use his utmost endeavours to prevent the ex-
tension of Hostilities, and to promote the restora-
tion of Peace.

" It is with satisfaction his MAJESTY informs
you that he has been enabled to renew his Di-
plomatic relations with the Ottoman Porte.
The Ambassadors of his MAJESTY and of the
King of FRANCE are on their return to Con-
stantinople ; and the Emperor of RUSSIA hay-
ingbeen pleased to authorize the Plenipotentiaries
of his Allies to act on behalf of his IMPERIAL
MAJESTY, the negotiation for the final pacifi-
cation of Greece will be carried on in the name
of the three contracting parties to the Treaty' of
London.

" The army of his Most Christian MAJESTY
has been withdrawn from the Morea, with the
exception of a small force destined, for a time,
to assist in the establishment of order in a coun-
try which has so long been the scene of confu-
sion and anarchy.

" It is with increased regret, that his MA-
JESTY again adverts to the condition of the Por-
tuguese Monarchy. But his MAJESTY com-
mands us to repeat his determination to use every
effort to reconcile conflicting interests, and to
remove the evils which press so heavily upon a
country, the prosperity of which must ever be an
object of his MAJESTY'S solicitude.
" GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE OF COM..

MONS.

His IVIAJEsTY commands us to thank you
for the Supplies which you have granted for the
Service of the year, and to assure you of his
MAJESTY'S determination to apply them with
every attention to economy.

" My LORDS AND GENTLEMEN,

u flis MAJESTY has commanded us, in con-
clusion, to express the sincere hope of his MA-
JESTY that the important measures which have
been adopted by Parliament in the course of
the pr,e4ent Session, may tend, under the bleviing
of Divine paAidence, to establish the trap•
quillity and improve the condition of Ireland ;
and that by strengthening the bonds of union be-
tween the several parts of this great Empire, they
may consolidate and augment its power, and
promote the happiness of his people."
