newed assurances of their friendly DISPOSE

9. Gentlemen Of The House Of Commons.
:" The estimates for the present year will
he;laid before you.
They have been framed upon principles
of strict economy but ii is to me matter OF
the deepest regret, that the state ofthe coun-
try has not allowed me to dispense with
those additions to our military force which !
announced at the commencement of the last
session of Parliament
"The first object to which your attention
will be directed, is the provision 10 be made
for the support Of the Civil Government, and
Of the honor and dignity of the Crown.

terest in the Hereditary Revenues and |
cannot deny myself the qualification of de-
claring, that so far from desiring any ar
rangeme nj which might lead TO the imposi-
ton of new burthens upon my people, or e.
ven might diminish, on my account, the a
mount OF the reductions incident TO my ac-
cesson 10 the Throne. can have no wish,
under circumstances like the present, that
any addition whatever should be made to
the sentiment adopted by Parliament in the
year 1916.
My Lords and Gentlemen,
Deeply as lregret that the Vaccinations
and designs of the disafected should nave
led, in some parts of the country, TO acts of
open violence and Instruction, cannot but
express my satisfaction at the promptitude
with which those attempts have been sup
pressed by the vigilance and activity of the
Magistrates, and by the jealous cooperation
OF all those Of my subjects, whose exertions
have been called forth to support the autho-
rity Of the laws.
{" The wisdom ard frmness manifested by
the Parliament, and the due execution of the
laws, have greatly contributed to restore
confidence throughout the kingdom, and to
discountenance those principles of sedtion
and irreligion which had been disseminated
with such malignant perseverance, and had
poisoned the minds of the ignoran: and UNI
wary.
" rely upon The continued support OF
Parliament in my determination 70 maintain,
by all the means entrusted to my hands, the
public safety and tranquility.
Deploring, a, we all must, the distresses
which still! unhappily prevail among many OF
the iaboring classes Of the community, and
anxiousy looking forward TO IFS removal or
mitigation, it is IN the mean time our COM
mon duty, efectua!ly TO protect The loyal,
the peaceabe and the industrious, against
those practices of turbulence and intimida-
ton by which the period Of relief can only
be deferred and by which the pressure Of
the distress has been intellectually aggrays-
ted.
''I trust that an awakened sense Of the
dangers which they have incurred, and of
the arts which have been employee to seduee
them. will bring back by far the greater part
of those who have unhappiIy been led astray,
and will revive in them that spirit of loyalty,
that due submission to the laws, and that at
tachment to the Constitution, which su5sist

the people, and which, under the blessing of
Divine providence, have secured to the Bril-
fish nation the enjoyment of a larger share
Of practical freedom, as well as of prosperi-

OF any nation in the world"
After the commons had retired, Viscount
Granville rose and said, it was highly salts
factory to him, TO address their lordships on
such 40 occasion as this, when the speech
from the throne was happily 50 framed as to
preclude all opposition toit; and concluded
by moving 40 address 10 the king, which as
usual, was an echo Of the speech After
some debate, the address was unanimously
agreed 10.
