6atim report:
Ny Lords and Gent!eme1: 1grcet you
cordially on your reassembling for the
discharge OF your momentious duties. l
have satisfaction in announcing the main
tensnCe of the relations of friendship with
the foreign powers throughout the world.
You were informed when l last addressed
you, that steps had been taken to prepare
a way for dealing more especially with
the slave trade on the east coast
of Africa. l lhRvG now dispatched
an envoy to Zanzibar, furnished with such
instructions as appear to me best adapted
for the attainment Of the object in view.
He recently reached his place OF destina-
ton and had entered into communication
with the Sultan. My ally, the Emperor
Of Germany, who had undertaken to
pronounce Judgment as arbitrator on the
line Of water boundary, so long in dis.
pute under the terms Of the treaty Of
lS46, has decided in conformity with the
contention OF the government Of the
United States, that the HarO Channels
present line Is most in accordance with
the true intention OF that treaty. have
thought IL the course most beLtting the
spirit Of the international friendship and
dignity OF this country, TO give immedi.
ate executive TO the award by withdraw.
ing my partial occupation OF the island OF
San Juan, r.. ..
The proceedings before the Tribunal ol
Arbitration at Geneva, which l was en-.
abled TO prosecute in consequence OF the
exclusion Of the indirect claims preferred
on behalf Of the government of the Uni.
ted States, have terminated in an award
which established in part the repGlled
claims as relevant. You will, in due
course OF time, be asked TO provide for
the payment ol the sum coming due to
the United States under this, award.
Ny acknowledgements are due to the
German Emperor, likewise TO the Tribu-
nal of Geneva, for the pains and caro- be-
slowed by them on the peaceful adjust
ment of controversies such as could not
but impede the iull prevalence Of inter
national good will, in case where 1t was
to be cherished.
In the prosecution OF a well understood
and established policy, ] have concluded
a treaty for the extraditton Of criminals
with my ally, the King of the Belgians.
The government Of France during the
recess renewed lis, communications with
my government Tor the purpose of con-
cluding the commercial treaty to replace
that OF 1860, which is about to expire. In
prosecuting these communications l have
kept in view q double object OF equitable
regard 10 the existing circumstances, and
securing general provision more perma-
nent in its character andIresting on re-
ciprocal aud equal basis for the CONNER
cial and maratime relations Of the two
countries. hope to be enable within
short period 10 announce to you the final
result. 1t has been for some years felt by
the governments Of Russia and the
United Kingdom respectively, that it
would be conducive to the tranquility Of
the two Governments should arrive at
some view regarding the line which de-
scribes the northern frontier Of the Do.
minion of Afghanistan; accordingly cor.
respondenCe has passed Of which this is
the main subject, Its tenor, no less than
its object will, l trust be approved by
public opinion Of both nations. The pa
pers will be laid before you with relation
10 the awards delivered under the treaty
Of Washington to the commercial nego-
tiations with France and to the northern
frontier OF the DOminions Of Afghanistan.
Z Gentlemen Of the House Of Commons,
the estimates for the coming fiscal year
will be presented you, They have been
formed with the view TO tho efficient
operation OF our establishments under CIR
Cumstances entailed by the variations OF
an exceptional nature, in which there Is
some important commotion. E'
Z My Lords and gentlemen, although har-
vest has been TO some extent deficient,
the condition Of the three Kingdoms with
reference to trade and commerce, to the
suiliciency Of the revenue for meeting the
public charges, to the decrease Of pauper-
Ism, and TO relieve the amount Of ordinary
crime, may be pronounced as generally
satisfactory.
A measure will be submitted to you at
an early day for settling the question Of
university education In Ireland. 1t will
have for It's object the advancement Of
learning in that portion Of my dominions,
