icy and jurisprudence.
" With respect to our financial arrange
ments, by the providential measures of for
mer session, we have been enabled to refrain
from augmenting the burthens of the people.
and at the same time to make our military
exoruons correspond with the scale of the
passing events.
While we have been thus employed, the
destinies OF Europe have been gradually I'M
rolled before our eyes; and the powerful ma
tons OF the north, sending forth their collec-
tive strength to try the last issue of war.
whilst G. Britain and her allies We're. with
equal Ngor, advancing from the south, their
JOINT efforts have at length accomplished the
downfall OF the greatest military tl,spotisrn
which, IN modern days, has disgraced ard de-
solatcd the earth. -
In these arduous STRUGGLES, we can look
back, with just pride, on the Discharge of oor

afford the well founded hope that the san,e
councils and toe same master-hand so mainly
instrumental in the work hitherto accoulDl,sh
ed, may at the approaching congress, extend

prevail upon the nations + Europe. in re-es-
tablishing their own happiness, to concur. in
putting an eiiectual end to the wrongs and de-
solutions of Africa.
Auspicious however, as our present
state may seem to be, the instability of all Fl1
man affairs forbids us to be too conEdert of Zee
prosperous continuance. Much vet remains
to be done IN Europe, and we have still one
contest to support by war; war which we
can never consent to terminate but nv tle &c
Enlistment of our claims, according tn the
maXiIns OF public law, and the maritime rights
OF this empire.
" Toprovide for these branches of the pub
lie service has been our last care, and the hill
which have to present to vour ROYAL E;gb-
ness, IL entitled, " an act enabling his majesty
to raise the sum of three millions fer the scr
