Gentlemen Of the House of Commons
thank you for the liberal provision made by
you for the ordinary service of the year, and
for additional supplies of men and money yOt
ed, in view of the altered circumstances of the
Continent The revenue gives promise tc
meet the new charges thus created without
revising the proper balaat, of revenue and
expenditure. The act for the repression Of
Agrarian crime, and TO maintain order iD Ire
land, has answered its purpose thus far. From
the act regulating the occupation of land,
anticipate the restoration OF peaceful relations
between landlord and tenant, and OF confidence
and benevolencc. Legislation duly protecting
life and property, hope now, is more easy,
and l rely on the loyalty and affection of my
Irish subjects.
