England-The session of Parliament was
opened Feb. Cd, by the following Message from
the King, read by lord Clifford.
My Lords and Gentlemen,
We are commanded by his Majesty to in
form you, that his majesty has seen with re-
greet the embarrassment which has occurred in
the peeuniary concerns ofthe country. since the
close of the last session of Parliament.
The embarrassment did not arise from any
political events, either at home or abroad; it
was not produced by any unexpected demand
upon the public resources; nor by the appre-
hension Of any interruption to the general tran.
guilty.
Some of the causes to which this evil must
be attributed lie without the reach OF direct
Parliamentary interpoSltion, nor can security
against the recurrence of them be found, un-
less in the experience Of the sufferings which
they have occasioned.
But to a certain portion of this evil, correc-
tives at least, if not effectual remedies, may be
appiled and his majesty relies upon your wis
dom TO devise such measures as may tend 10
protect both private and public interests
against the like sudden and violent fluctuations
by placing on more firm foundation the cur
rency and circulating credit of the county.
His Majesty continues to receive from his
Allies, and generally from all Foreign Princes
and States, the strongest assurances OF their
friendly disposition towards his majesty. His
majesty on his part is constant and unwearied
in his endearors to reconcile conflicting inter-
ests, and to recommend and cultivate peace
both in the Old World and in the New.
His Majesty commands us to inform you,
that in pursuance of this policy, his majesty's
mediation has been successfully employed in
the conclusion OF treaty between the crowns Of
Portugal and Brazil, by which the relations of
friendly intercourse long interrupted between
two kindred nations, have been restored, and
the independence of the brazilian Empire has
been formally acknowledged.
| His majesty looses no opportunity of giving
effect to the principles of Trade and Naviga-
| ton, which have received the sanction Of Par
lament, and Of establishing them as far as pos
sible, by engagements with Foreign Powers.
His Majesty has directed to be laid before
YOU copy Of a Convention, framed on these
principles, which has recently been concluded
| between his majesty and the king OF France;
and similar Convention with the Free Hanse-
attic cities Of Lubec, Bremen, and Hamburger.
| His Majesty has likewise directed to be laid
before you copy Of a Treaty of Amity, Com
merce, and Navigation, concluded between his
Majesty and the Republic Of Colombia, the ra-
,6cations Of which have been exchanged since
The close Of the last session. For the carrying
into effect some of the stpulations of this treaty
| His Haiesty will have need Of your assistance
| His Majesty regrets that he has not TO an
nounce to you the termination Of hoStiities in
India; out the operations Of the last campaign
through the bravery of the forces of his Majes-
ty, and Of the East India Company, and the skill
and perseverance OF their commanders, have
been attended with uniform success, and his
Majesty trusts that continuance Of the same
exertons may lead, at no distant period, to an
honorable and satisfactory pacihoation.
His MaIesty's attention has been drcc ted to
the consideration of several measures recon-
| mended in the last session Of Parliament, for
| improving the condition Of Ireland.
The industry of that part of the United
Kingdom, his Majesty has the satisfaction Of
acquaintng you, is in course of gradual and
general advanccment-an advancement mainly
to be attributed to the state Of tranquility which
now happily prevails throughout all the pro-
vinces of Ireland.
Gentlemen of the House Of Commons,
His Majesty has directed the estimates for the
year to be prepared and laid before you.
They have been framed with an anxious de-
sire to avoid every expenditure beyond what
the necessary demands of the public service
may require.
His Majesty has the satisfaction of inform
ing you, that the produce of the Revenue, in
the last year, has fully justified the expecta-
| lions entertained at the commencement Of il.
| Afy Lords and Gentlemen,
His Majesty deeply laments the injurious ef-
fects which the late pecuniary crisis must have
entailed upon many branches Of the Commerce
and Manufactures of the United Kingdoms
But his Majesty confidently believes that the
temporary check which Commerce and Manu-
features may AT this moment experience, will,
under the blessings Of Divine Providence, nei
ther impair the great resources of our wealth,
nor impede the growth Of national prosperity.
