on Tuesday last, after a session Of nearly three
months, it having convened on the 18th of Octo-
Der. The following is His Majesty's address on
the occasion
" MOBILES AND REPRESENTATIVES:
The labors Of the Legislative Assembly are
now about 10 terminate.
The session has been long, but it has been
marked by a great unanimitv Of feeling. and
many laws have been introduced which | believe
vii! prove highly advantageous.
The experience gained during the course of the
session proves that | was not mistaken In my be-
lief that the union Of the MOBILES and Represen-
tatives in one Legislative Body. including the
Ministers, would tend to expedite business. The
Ministers have been brought INFO constant con-
tact with those who represent the peonie &c,
and Lave had an opportunity Of exsiai. ilig the
policg and the details of my Government
| return to you my heartfelt thanks for the
feeling of love and respect you have evlnced
towards the beloved Consort Of my late Brother,
in making a permanent settlement for her.
For your generositv towards my Father and
myself, and for your i.Ye and loyalty towards me
and mine. | thank you.
Your laboIs have been arduous and your dill
gence unrelnitted. You have taken, in my opin-
ion, a comprehensive view Of the wants of the
country. The sums you have appropriated To
give life TO our sanitary and relormatory meas
ures, and for the general purposes of carrying IN
my Government, have been liberal, but | am
happy to know that they are not likely to exceed
our resources.
MOBILES AND REPRESENTATIVES
Your task is ended, not mine it will be my
duty to see tina. the will Of the Legislature be
carried out. In freeing you from your labors
here, | pray that the blessing Of God may attend
