am happy to state that our rela-

You have provided amply for the

the United States; for more effec-
tive police administration; for the
internal peace of the country and
for the encouragement of its chief
industries. And 1 feel assured that
these liberal provisions will be judi
ciously administered, and faithfully
carried into execution by my Minis

generous provision made for myself,
Her Majesty the Queen, and for
other members of the Royal Family.
l desire to express my appreciation
of your legislation on various mef-
sures calculated to promote the well
fare of my people, especially in the
passage of Acts: to consolidate and
simplify our tax laws; to provide a
loan for important measures of in
ternal improvements; to provide q
more effective control Of the traffic
in spirituous liquors; for the settle
ment of certain claims against Crown
lands; for the audit of public ac-
counts; and for the coronation.
/ trust that at the close of your
public duties, and on proceeding to
your several homes, you will, as the
result of your meetings and delibera-
tions in the national Council, bear
with you q warmer love of your
country, and deeper interest in
your nationality and independence,
and that in your several walks of
life you will give assurances to your
several constituencies of the watch
full interest of the Government in
their welfare, and that conformity
with them you will strive for the
best welfare Of my Kingdom.

you in his keeping. ! now declare
