We, his Majesty's faithful Commons of the United King-

with our last Bill of Supply.
"6 In obedience, Sir, to your Royal Highness's recommenda-
tion, we have not fci:ed to apply our anxious and continued at-
tention to the state of the Public Income and Expenditure ; and
heavy as unquestionably the weight and pressure still remain
upon our Finances, we have the sioisiaction to observe, that the
Revenue, in its most important branches, is gradually and pin.-
gressively improving.
" Among the various duties, Sir, in which we have been en-
gaged, there is none perhaps that could have devolved upon us
more interesting in itself, or more in unison we an persuaded
with the sincere and unfeigned sentiments of all classes of his
Majesty's subjects, than the duty of adopting the necessary
antes for the fulfilment of those engagements which your Ruy.ll
Highness was graciously pleased to communicate to us, as having
been concluded with the Courts of Spain and Portugal on the
subject of the Slave Trade.

Nor, Sir, have we been less attentive to another subject of
great public importance, earnestly recommended by your Royal
Highness to our early and particular considerelon—the defi-
ciency which has so Lag existed in the number of Places of Pub-
lic Worship belonging to the Established Church. To the re-
medy of this deficiency we have most readily afforded large and
liberal assistance, well convinced, that the Eat and dearest in-
terest; of this country—its truest happiness—its soundest pros-
perity—its surest independence—its proudest and most substan-
tial national glory, arc all involved and blended intimately and
inseparibkin the religious and moral habits of its people.
" The MI, Sir, which it is now my duty huiubly to present
to your Royal Highness, is intituled—' An Act for apelying cer-
tain Monks therein-mentioned for the service of the Year One
Thousand Eight Hundred and Eighteen; to which, with all
humility, we pray his Majesty's Royal Assent."
