" I will give directions that there be laid before you articles which I have concluded with my allies , the King of the French , the Queen Regent of Spain , and the Queen of Portugal , which are supplementary to the treaty of April , 1834 ., and are intended to facilitate the complete attainment of the objects contemplated by that treaty .. " I have to repeat tbe expression of my regret that the relations between Holland and Belgium still remain unsettled .
GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS , " I have directed the estimates for the ensuing year to be prepared , and to be laid before you without delay . " They have been framed with the strictest attention to economy , and I have the satisfaction of acquainting vou that the total amount of the demands for the public service will bo less on the present than it has been on any former occasion within oui recent experience . " The satisfactory state of the trade and commerce of the country
, and of the public revenue , fully justifies the expectation that , notwithstanding the reductions in taxation which were made in the last session , and which , when they shall have taken full effect , will tend to diminish the existing surplus of the public revenue , there will remain a sufficient balance to meet the additional annual charge whicli will arise from providing the compensation granted by Parliament on account of the abolition of slavery throughout the British dominions .
" I deeply lament that the agricultural interest continues in a state of great depression . " I recommend to your consideration whether it may not be in your power , after providing for the exigencies of the public service , and consistently with the steadfast maintenance of the public credit , to devise a method for mitigating the pressure of those local charges which bear heivily on the owners and occupiers of land , and for distributing the burden of them more equally over other descriptions of property .
" MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN , " The information received from the governors of my colonies , together with the acts passed in execution of the law for the abolition of slavery , will be communicated to you . " It is with much satisfaction that I have observed the general concurrence of the colonial legislatures in giving effect to this important measure ; and , notwithstanding the difficulties with which the subject
