"My lords and Gentlemen,
The external peace and domestic
tranquility, which at present happily
prevail, are very favorable for the
consideration of such measures of re-
formation and amendment. as NAV be
necessary and expedient; and your
attention will be naturally directed to
that course of legislation, which was
interrupted by the necessary dissolu-
ton OF the last Parliament.
The result of the noniries which
have been made into the condition off
the poor in Ireland, has been already
laid before Parliament; and it will be
your duty to consult whether it may
not be safe and wise to establish byI
law some wellregulated means of re-
liel Tor the destitute in that country.
The municipal government of the /
cities and towns in Ireland calls for
better regulations.
The laws which govern the collec-
ton OF the 1.-THE composition in Ire
land, require revision and amendment.
Convinced that the better and more
ellectual administration of Justice is
among the,first duties of a sovereign.
request your attention. to those nea.
sures which will be submitted to youI
ior the lmprovementof the laws.
You cannot but be sensible of the
deep Importance of these questions
Which have submitted to you, and Of
the treating them in that spirit of inn
partlallty and justice, which affords
the best hope Of bringing them to d |
happy and useful termination. Inl
meeting this Parliament, the first that
has been elected under my authority.l
am anxious to declare my confidence
IN your loyalty and wisdom. The
early age at which | am called to tie
sovereignty Of this kingdom renders
~ q more Imperative duty, that under
Divine Providence, / should place mvl
reliance upon your cordial co-opera.
tlon,and upon the love and Affection
