Parliamentary Analysis.
" MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN , " I have to lament the continuance of distress amongst the proprietors and occupiers of land ; though in other respects the state of the country , both as regards its internal tranquillity , ancl its commerce and manufactures , affords the most encouraging prospect of progressive improvement .
" The Acts passed in the last Session for carrying into effect various salutary and remedial measures in Ireland , are now in operation , and further improvements may he expected to result from the Commissions which have been issued for other important objects of inquiry . " I recommend to you the early consideration of such a final adjustment of the tithes in that part of the United Kingdom as may extinguish all just causes of complaint , without injury to the rights and property of any class of my subjects , or to any institution in Church or State .
" The public tranquillity has been generally preserved , ancl the state of ah the provinces of Ireland presents , upon the whole , a much more favourable appearance than at any period during the last year . "But I have seen , with feelings of deep regret and just indignation , the continuance of attempts to excite the people of that country to demand a repeal of the Legislative Union .
" This bond of our national strength and safety I have already declared my fixed and unalterable resolution , under the blessing of Divine Providence , to maintain inviolate by all the means in my power . In support of this determination , I cannot doubt the zealous and effectual co-operation of my Parliament and my people . " To the practices wliich have been used to produce disaffection to
