MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN

you assembled at the commencement OF the year,
pointed out to you that, in the interests Of my
Empire, precautions might become necessary foI
which appealed to your liberality TO provide
At the same time l assured you that no efforts II

ties which then existed
PEACE WAS MADE.
The terms OF agreement between Russia and the
Porte, SO far they affected pre- existing treaties,
were after an interval OF discussion, submitted to
Congress of the Powers, and their councils have
resulted in peace which am thankful to believe
is satisfactory and likely to be durable.

hand, bound himself to adopt and carry into effect
measures necessary for securing good government
In those provinces. In order 10 promote the
objects OF this agreement have undertaken the
occupation and administration OF the Island Of
Cyprus
HOSoRs THE INDIAN TROOPS.
In aiding to bring about the settlement which
has taken place have been assisted by the dis

land by the aIacrity with which my reserves re
sponded " my CALL by the patriotic offers OF milr
tary ala by my people IN the colonies and by the
proud desire OF my Indian army TO be reckoucd
among the defenders OF the British Empire,
desire justified by the soluierly qualities Of the
force recently quartered In Malta The spon-
taneous offers OF troops made by many oil the No

me, and recognize In them a fresh manifestation
of that feeling toward my crown and person whicT
has been displayed in many previous instances.
AT PEACE WITH EVERYBODY.
My relations with all foreign Powers continue
friendly. -
Although the condition Of anairs in South Africa
stil affords some ground tor anxiety, Ihave learned
