to consider, without delay, the means
of applying a remedy to this evil.
His Majesty further recommends to
you the renewal of inquiries instituted
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 o.
perations against that state unavoidable.
1t is, however, satisfactory to find
that none of the native powers have
manifested any unfriendly disposition,
and hat the bravery and conduct dis
played BY the forces already employ ed
against the enemy, afford the most
favorable prospect of a successful ter.
mination of the contest.
Gentlemen ofths House Of Commons:
His majesty has directed us to inform
you that the estimates of the year will
be forthwith laid before you.
The state ofhis Majesty's Indian pos
sessions, AMI circumstances connected
with other parts of his Majesty's foreign
| dominions, will render some augmenta-
ton in his military establishment indis-
pensable. His Majesty, however, has
the sincere qualification of believing.
that, Notwithstanding the increase of
expense, arising out of the augmenta-
ton, such is the fourishing condition,
and progressive improvement of the re-
venue, that it will still be in your pow
er, without affecting public credit, to
| give additional facilities to the national
industry, and to make a further reduc-
ton in the burthens of bis people.
Nh Lon DIS and Gentlemen:
His Majesty commands us t., inform
you that his Majesty continues to receive
from his Allies, and generally from all
Princes and States assurances of their
undated desire to maintain and culti-
vate the relations of peace with his Ma
iesty, and with each other. and that it
is his Majesy's constant %endeavour to
preserve the general tranquility.
The negotiations which have been so
long carried on, through bis Maiesty's
Ambassador at Constantinopie, between
the Emperor OF Russia and the Otto
man Porte, have been brought to an am
-, icable issue.
His Majesty has directed to be laid
before You, copies of arrangements
which have been entered into with the
kingdom of Denmark and Hanover. for
improving the commercial Intercourse
between those states and the United
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, a copy
of which treaty as soon SIS the ratifca-
ton shall have been exchanged, bis Ma
iesty will direct to be laid before you.
Some difficulties have risen with res.
pect to the ratification of the treaty for
the same object, which was negotiated
last year between his Majesty and the
United States of America. These Diff
c%ulties, however, his Majesty trusts,
will not finally impede the conclusion of
so beneficial an arrangement.
In conformity to the declarations
which have been repeatedly made in his
Majesty's name, his Majesty has taken
measures for confirming by treaties the
commercial relations already subsisting
between this kingdom and those coun-
tries of America which appearto have
established their separation from Spain.
So 0 as these ire aties shall be COM
pleted. his Majesty will direct copiesof
them to be laid before you
His Majesty commands us not TO con-
clude without congratulating you upon
the continued Improvement in the state
of the Iagriculttral interest, the solid
foundation of our national prosperity:
nor without informing you, that evident
advantage has been derived from the re-
lief which you have recently given to
commerce by the removal of ~inconve-
nient restrictions
His Majesty recommends to you to
preserve las circumstances may allow
in the removal OF similar restrictions
and his Majesty directs usto assure you
that you may rely upon his Msjesty's
cordill corporation in fostering and ex-
tending that commerce, which whilst it
is, under the blessing of Providence, a
main source of strength and power of
this country, contributes in no less de-
gree to the happiness and civilization of
mankind"
