upon the treaty of Washington, aud hopes for
a general recognition of the principle for guild
ing the maritime conduct of neutrals. Full reli-
ance is placed upon the disposition OF Ameri-
cans TO carry out all the provisions Of the treaty
The Queen is anxious TO meet the expressed
wishes OF the French government for the altera-
non OF some of the provisions of the commercial
treaty OF 1850, but would witness with concern
any change which would restrict commercial in
tereourse. The Commons are thanked for the
liberal supplies they have granted. The extra
ordinary powers granted for the repression of
Agrarian outrages in Westmeath have thus far
answered their purpose, while in other portions
of Ireland there is gratifying immunity for
crime. The remainder Of the speech is devoted
