to be enabled to release you from attend
ance at Parliament The relations between
myself and foreign powers continue to bs
cordial, and look forward with hope and
confidence to the uninterrupted mainten p
ance of European peace. The visit paid tS
this country, on invitation of my govern
ment, by the ruler of Zanzibar, has led to
the conclusion of a supplementary COL
T ventiOn which, / trust, may be effica-
cious for more complete suppression Of
the East African slave trade. l have
learned with deep regret that the
expedition dispatched by my Indian gov
! ernment from Burmah, with the view "a
open communication with the western prov
, inces of China, has been treacherously AZ
! tackled by an armed force while on Chinese
2 territory. This outrage, unhappily involy-
r | ing the death of a young and promisin 2
member of my consular service, is the sub
s ject of careful inquiry, and no effort shall
1 | Oe spared TO secure the punishment of those
+ by whom it was instigated and committed.
K; The condition OF my colonial empire is gen
. orally prosperous.

actments, is calculated to maintain the

re shipping bills being as follows: The state o
Be public business and the difference o

Iy have every reason to hope the Drogres

recent years will be fully sust lined in tn
recent arrangements which you have mad
