Gent5emen Of the House Of Commons
I thank you for the supplies which you
have Granted for the service OF the year I;
and am sensible OF tie beneficial effect,
which may be expected to result from thu
sanitary system of making provision for
them in way calculated to uphold pub
lie credit.
The arrangements which you have a
dopted for dischargipg the membranes
of the Civil List, and for rendering it
future income adequate to its expenditure
by relieving it from part Of the charge
to which it was subject, are in the highes'
degree gratifying, and satisfactory to NE:
and you may be assured that nothing shall
be wanting on my part to give full effect
to those arrange hents.
The provision you have made for con
solidatins the revenues OF Great Britain
and ireland, will, doubt not, be produc-
tive Of the happiest cons quences, III
cementing and advancing the interests of
the United Kingdom and must afford an
additional proof ofthe constant disposition
of Parliament to relieve the difficulties &
promote the welfare of Ireland.
.Uy Lords and Gentlemen,
! The measures TO which [ have been
under the necessity of resorting, tor the
suppression of those tumults AID disOr
ders which had unfortunately occurred in
some parts of the Kingdom, have beer
productive of the most saiutary ef-
fects.
| deeply lament the continuance of
that pressure and distress which the Cir
cumstances of the country, at the close
Of so long war, have unayoidably err
tailed on many classes Of his Majesty's|
subjects.
| feel fully persuaded, however, that
after the many severe trials which they
have undergone in the course of the ar.
duous contes in which we have been en-
gagged, and the ultimate success which
has attended their glorious and persever-
Tag exertlous, | may rely with perfect
confidence on their public spirit and for.
titude in sustaining those difficulties.
which will, | trust, be found to have
arisen from cause of a temporary nature !.
and which cannot fail to be materially re-
Iieved bv the progressive Improvement of
public credit, and by the reduction which
has already taken place in the burdens Of
the people.
Then the Lord Chancellor, by the
