have no wish, under circumstances like
the present, that any addition whatever
should be made to the Settlement adopt
ed by Parliament in the year 1916.
My Lords and Gentlemen,
Deeply as 1 regret that the machina-
tons and designs of the disaffected
should have led, in some parts of the
country, to acts of open violence and in
surrection, cannot but express my sa-
tisfaction at the promptitude with which
these attempts have been suppressed by
the vigilance and activity of the magis-
trates, and by the jealous cooperation
of all those of my subjects whose exer-
tons have been called forth to support
the authority of the laws.
The wisdom and frmness manifested
by the late Parliament, and the due ex-
ecuton of the laws, have greatly con-
tributed to restore confidence through
out the kingdom; and to discountenance
those principles of sedition and irreliglon
which has been disseminated with such
malignant perseverance, and had poi
soned the minds of the ignorant and un-
wary.
I rely upon the continued support of
Parliament in my determination to main
tain, by all the means entrusted to my
hands, the public safety and tranquility.
Deploring as we all must, the distress
which still unhappily prevails among
many of the laboring classes of the COM
munity, and anxiously looking forward to
its removal or mitigation, it is IN the
meantime our common duty to protect
the loyal, the peaceable, and the indus
trious, against those practices of turbu-
Ience and intimidation, by which the
period Of relief can only be deferred,
and by which the pressure of the distress
has been intellectually aggravated.
! trust that an awakened sense OF the
dangers which they have incurred, and
the arts which have been employed to
seduce them, will bring back by far the
greater part of those who have been un-
happily led astray and will revive in
them that spirit ofloyalty---that due sub
mission to the laws, and that attachment
to the constitution, which subsist una
batcd in the hearts of the great body OF
the people, and which, under the bless
ing of Divine Providence, have secured
to the British nation the enjoyment of a
larger share of practical freedom, as
we'll as of prosperity and happiness, than
have fallen to the lot of any nation in
the world.

ed; consequently sou may assure YOU;
conntrymen. that henceforth they need
not apprehend any of those fiscal regu-
lations which appeared calculated to ex-
cite distrust and to impede the pursuits
of commerce, which should be always
open, to enable US to preserve the inter-
course of nations as members of the
same family. Those are the liberal
principles prescribed by our sacred
constitution, and which shall be inviola-
bly, observed.

The writer of piece signed /" Philo.

presume we are not compelled to take
the bare assertion of any man as conclu-

EDwARDsvILLE, JULY A, 1890.

From the Illinois Inteliigencer of the
oath ult. it appears that the experiment
Of electing representative to congress,
without law or authority, is to be at
tempted on the first Monday of next
month.
The Old Slave Party have commenc-
ed operations, and are preparing to make
a desperate effort in opposition to Mr..
Cook. The hopes of this party, and
the object to be accomplished by the
election of MIR. KANE, will be developed
in due time.
We have received the first number of
the " MISSIONARY" newspaper estab-
lished at ST. Charles, by Mr.. ROBERT
M'CLouD. tits printed on super-royal
paper, and its execution in every re-
spect is creditable to the editor.
The Missouri Convention have adopt-
ed, by an unanimous vote, an article to
be incorporated into the constitution,
which prohibits the Legislature from
ever passing any lew to prevent the i'm
portaton Of slaves into the state, or to
manumit them without paying their full
value to their owners. This article, the
Enquirer informs us, was adapted out of
spite TO the free men of the free states,
for attempting to deprive them of the
privilege of traficking in slaves. Ano-
Their republican feature is to be adopted,
to prohibit Ministers of the Gospel from
holding seats in the legislature.

acts Of Congress which were passed at the
last session having particular relation to this
state, which our readers will perceive con-
