following Speech*
“My L .riifraiid Gentlemen,
“I have taken the earliest occasion of
assembling you here, after having recur
red to the sense of my people, ,
In meeting you personally f r 'he fir.si
time since the death of my beloved father,
I am anxious to assure you, that 1 shall al
ways continue to imitate his great exam
ple in unceasing attention to the public
interests, and the paternal solicitude for
i the welfare and happiness of all classes
of my subjects.
I have received from foreign p- srs
renewed assurances of their friend!v
position, anti their earnest desire to cu.ci
-1 vrate with me, tl»« relations of peace and
amity.
“Gentlemen of the House of Commons,
“The estimates for the present year
will be laid before you.
“ I hey have been framed upon princi
pies of strict economy; but it is to me a
matter of deep regret, that the state of
the country has not allowed me to dis
pense with thosexidditions to onr military
force which I announced at the com
mencement ol the . last session of Par
liament.
“The first object to which your atten
tion will be drawn is the provision to be
made for the support of the Givil Govern
ment, and of the honor and dignity of thfi
Crown.
“1 leave entirely at your disposal mv
■interest in the Hereditary Revenues; and
1 cannot deny myself the- gratification of
declaring that so far from requiring any
arrangements which might lead to the
imposition of aew burthens upon my'jieo
ple, or even might diminish on my account
the amount of the reductions incident in
>iy accession to the throne, 1 cannot have
a wish, under circumstances like the pre
sent, that any addition whatever, should
be made to the settlement adopted by
Parliament, in the year 1816.
“Mu Lords and Gentlemen:
“Deeply aS I regret that the machina
tions and designs of the dis iftected should
beveled, iitsome parts ofihe country to
acts ol open violence and insurrection, I
cannot but express my satisfsotion at the
