Phenix gazette. [volume] (Alexandria [D.C.]) 1825-1833, 1825-03-12

hitSiSolo vi tilS udllOu were at the SAINT
time in so thriving a condition, or when
a feeling of content and satifaction was
m ore widely diffused throughout all
classes Of the British people.
1t is TO small addition to the grati6-
cation of his majesty, that Ireland is
participating in the general prosperity.
The outrages, for the suppression Of
which extraordinary powers were con-
6ded to his majesty,h so far ceased,
as to warrant the suspension Of the ex-
ere Use of those powers in most of the
districts heretofore disturbed.
Industry and commercial enterprise
are extending themselves in that part
OF the united kingdom.
1t is therefore the more to be regret
ted, that associations should exist in
Ireland, which have adopted proceed
ings irreconcileable with the spirit Of
the constitution, and calculated, by ex-
citing alarm and by exasperating ami
mosities, to endanger the peace Of So
ciety, and to retard the course of ma
tional improvement.
His majesty relies upon your wis
dom to consider, without delay, the
means of applying remedy to this
evil.
His Majesty further recommends to
You the renewal of the Inquiries in
stituted last session into the state of
Ireland.
His majesty has seen with regret,
the interruption Of tranquility in India,
by the unprovoked aggression and ex-
travagant pretensions Of the Burmese
government, which rendered hostile
operations against that state unavoida-
Bile.
1t is, however, satisfactory to find
that none of the other native powers
have manifested any unfriendly dispo-
sition, and that the bravery and con-
duct displayed by the forces already
employed against the enemy, afford
the most favorable prospect of sue
cessful termination Of the contest.
Gentlemen of the House of Commons:
His majesty has directed us to in
form you, that the estimates of the year
will be forthwith laid before you.
The state of his Majesty's Indian
possessions, and circumstances, con-
nected with other parts of his Majes-
tvs foreign dominions, will render
some augmentation in his military es-
tablishment indispensable. His Ma
jesty, however, has the sincere grati6-
cation of believing, that, notwithstand-
ing the increase of expense, arising out
of this augmentation, such is the flour
ishing condition, and progressive i'm
provement Of the revenue, that it will
still be in your power, without affect
ing public credit, to give additional ia
cilities to the national industry, and to
make further reduction in the bur-
thens of his people.
My Lords and Gentlemen:
His Majesty commands us to inform
you, that his Majesty continues to re-
ceive from his allies, and generally
from all Princes and States, assurances
of their undated desire to maintain
and cultivate the relations of peace
with his Majesty, and with each other,
and that it is his Majesty's constant
endeavor to preserve the general tram
guilty.
The negotiations which have been
so long carried on, through his Males
ty's Ambassador at Constantinople, be-
tween the Emperor Of Russia and the
Ottoman Porte, have been brought to
an amicable issue.
His Majesty has directed to be laid
before you, copies Of arrangements
which have been entered into with the
kingdoms of Denmark and Hanover,
for improving the commercial inter
course between those states and the u
nited Kingdom.
A treaty, having for its object the
more effectual suppression of the slave
trade, has been concluded between his
Majesty and the King of Sweden CO.
by OF which treaty, as soon as the ra-
LITIGATION shall have been exchanged,
his Majesty will direct to be laid be-
for you.
Some difficulties have arisen with
respect to the ratification of the treaty
for the same object, which was negoci-
ated last year between his Majesty and
the United States of America. These
difficulties, however, his Majesty trusts,
will not finally impede the conclusion
of so beneficial an arrangement.
In conformity to the declarations
which have been separately made in
his Majesty's name, his Majesty has
taken measures for confirming by trea-
ties, the commercial relations already
subsisting between this kingdom and
those countries Of America which ap-
pear to have established their separa-
ton from Spain. So soon as these
treaties shall be completed, his Males
ty will direct copies of them to be laid
before you.
