you together at an earlier period than I had , ctherwife intended.—No oi>je<4 can be • nearer my heart than that, by your care , and wisdom, all such measures may be | adopted, as may, upon fullconfideration, i appear bed calculated to alleviate this ; severe preflure, and to prevent the danger , of its recurrence, by promoting, as far' as poliible, the pertinent extpnhon and improvement of our agriculture. , " For the objedt of immediate relief,' ' your attention will naturally be diredted. in the firft instance, to the baft mode of affording the earliest and mod ample en- 1 couragement for the importatibn of all descriptions of Gxain from abroad, , " Such a supply, aided by the ex amples which you have (ct <>n former ©ccafions of attention to economy and frijgality in the consumption of Corn, is molt likely to contribute to a reduftion in the prefeut high price, and to inlure at the fame time the means of meeting the demands for the ijeceflary consumption ofj the year. The present drcumftances will also I am persuaded, render the (late of the laws re fpedtirrg the commerce in the various arti- cles of provilion the object pi your serious deliberation. " If on the result of that deliberation it shall appear to you that the evil neceffatily a,rifing from unfavourable feai'ons has been increased by any combinations or fraudulent praflices, for the fake of adding unfairly to the price, you will feel an ear ned desire if effectually preventing such ab'. Fes ; but you will, I am i'ure, be care ful to distinguish any practices of this na ture from that regular and long eltabliftled course of trade which experience has lhewn to be intjifpenfable for the present state of loc.iety, for the supply of the markets, and for the subsistence of mypeciple. " You will have seen with concern the temporary 'disturbances which have takeii place in some par|s of the langdapi. Thoi iralicions and diiaffected perloiu who crii-' elly take advantage of the ties to excite any of my lubjefts to'act in violation of the laws and of the public peace, are in the present circumstances dou bly criminal, as fitch proceedings mult ne cessarily and immediately tend to iucreafe in the llighelt degree the evil complained of, while they at the lame time, endanger the permanent tranquility of the country, cn which the well-being of the-induftrious claflcs of the community mult always prin cipally depend. " The voluntary which have m this occasion been made for the imme diate reprelfion of these outrages, and in support of Ihe laws and public peace, are therefore entitled to n>y highefl praise.

" My Lor as and Gentlemen, " I have directed Copies to be laid be fore you of thole communications which have been recently palled between me and the Ftench Government, refpeding the commencement of negociations for peace. You will fee )n them frefh and flriking proofs of my earr.elt desire to contribute to the re-establishment of general tranquility. That desire on my part has hitherto Been unhappily fruftrated, by the detetmination of the enemy to enter on a separate negociation, in which it was impossible for me to engage, tonliftently either with public faith, or with a due regard to the perma nent lecurity of Europe. " My anxiety for the speedy restora tion of peace remains unaltered ; and there ■will be no obftaclt s nor delay on my part to the adoption of such mekfures as may best tend to promote and accelerate that deiira ble end, confidently with the honour of this country, and the true intdreft of my people ; but if the difpolitiotf of our ene mies Ihould continue to render this greatob jeiVof all my wishes unattainable, without the of these e Hernial considera tions, on the maintenance of which all its advantages mult depend, you will, I am confident, parfevere in affording me the fame loyal and steady support which I have experienced through the whole of this im portant contest, and which lias, under the bJelfiDg of Providence, enabled me, during a period of such uuexsmple difficulty and calamity to all the iurrounding nations, to maintain, unimpaired, the security and ho nour ef these kingdoms [After the delivery, of }!ie King'?
