follows:
IL am sure the members of the Cabinet accept
with sincere thanks the kind assurances which you
gentlemen have rendered them this evening, and
especially grateful for your kind consid-
Grafton at the moment when we are about to sus-
pend, for time, the harmonious relations which

arrangements which now complete for His
Majesty'S early departure from this kingdom. In
the fulilment of hope long cherished, in the
realization of dream of his boyhood, in which ]
too INDUCED with him, than a third of Il cen
tury ago, His Majesty is about to embark III a
voyage around the globe. 1t seems, indeed, more
like fiction than reality, that after the lapse OF
these many years, by strange combination of cir
. cumstances should be suddenly commanded by
him to join in the realization of those early dreams
And am sure that all of you gentlemen, will take
the interest which the Cabinet take il

ing point is indeed novel. 1t is where the outmos
limit, the frontier point of European civilization
has reached 1t is we'll the frontier point, the

so long before European civilization, and refused
