L9ndon, Friday ErcniRg, January SILL am
able to send you the substance OF the royal speech.
Her Majesty will announce th4t She receives the
most friendly assurances from Foreign Powers,
and grateful to know that peace has been restored
in those States Of the North of Europe, 50 laeiy
engaged In war, or preparing Tor the commence
ment OF hoStlhiicS. The Queen Will then congra-
tulate the members of both Houses on the tran
guilty which prevails not only at home, but In all
her Foreign Pos sessions and Colonies the people
are contented and happy; manufacturers active
employment abundant, and commerce prosperous.
while the revenue exhibits an excess over eXpen-
ditures. Her Majesty regrets that in some coun-
tries organization is depressed but trusts il will
be only temporary.
Since the Parliament last met the Queen regrets
that considerable excitement has been occaSoned
by a. aggressive proceeding the part of the head
of the Roman Catholic Church, who had, without
seeking or asking permission, presumed to bestow
territorial titles ecclesastics, and to distribute
the country into dioCeses. Her Majesty then dir
ects attention to the trade with Brazil, and suggests
that IT would be desirable to arrange the sugar
trade with that country.
You will observe that the speech is more than
usually vague. There is no alusion whatever to
financial matters beyond the customary promises
Of documents being laid before Parliament, and the
reference to the Papal aggression is OF the mdest
kind, as if her Majesty was desIrous to pass over
as mildly as possible, disagreeabe question:
The course adopted, you may rely on, is wise and
political.
