Parliamentary Analysis.
" Unhappily , Sire , the condition of Ireland has not been such as to render it expedient to leave the people of that empire the unrestricted benefits of a free Constitution . An Act lias been passed by which provision has been made for the prompt trial of the guilty , in case of the disturbance of the public peace , and power has been given authorising the resorting to strong measures in cases in which infractions of the law may be such as to render them necessary . A measure thus uniting efficient precautions with the vigorous enforcement of the law , may
reasonably be expected to prove sufficient for the purpose , and to command general respect , because its provisions show consideration for those against whom it is directed , and because it has been conceived in a constitutional temper and spirit . "The means of the improvement of the constitutions of the Municipal Corporations of England and Wales , and of the establishment of an effective system of local police , have occupied much of our time , and have been considered " with unwearied care and attention . How we could most successfully adapt institutions framed in far other times , to the increased intelligence , wealth , and numbers
of the people—how we could introduce into them popular election , secure popular controul , and obtain for the public service the persons best qualified to discharge it—how we could best provide for tiie impartial administration of justice , and introduce rules for the maintenance of order , and the enforcement of economy , were among the questions which have been necessarily much weighed and considered ; and we have zealously directed our efforts to promote and secure the attainment of these objects . " Your Majesty ' s faithful Commons will be ampl y repaid for their long and
laborious exertions , if their deliberations have contributed to give real content to the people , and to renew and promote the permanent stability of our important institutions . " I now , Sire , on the part of the Commons , present the last Bill of Supply , entitled , ' An Act to apply certain Monies as Ways and Means , and to appropriate the same for the service of the year 1 S 35 . '" Several others then received the Royal assent .
The King immediately afterwards delivered , in a very clear and firm tone , the Royal Speech . It was in the following terms : — " My Lords and Gentlemen , " I find , with great satisfaction , that the state of public business enables me to relieve you from further attendance , and from the pressure of those duties , which you have performed with so much zeal and assiduity . " I receive from all Foreign Powers , satisfactory assurances of their desire to maintain with me the most friendly understanding , and I look forward with
confidence to the preservation of the general peace , which has been , and will be , the object of my constant solicitude . I lament that the civil contest in the northern provinces of Spain has not yet been brought to a termination ; but , taking a deep interest in the welfare of the Spanish Monarchy , I shall continue fo direct to that quarter my most anxious attention , in concert with the Three Powers with whom I have concluded the Treaty of quadruple alliance ; and I have , in furtherance of the objects of that treaty , exercised the power vested in me by the Legislature , and have granted to my subjects permission to engage in the service of the Queen of Spain . " I have concluded with Denmark , Sardinia , and Sweden fresh conventions , calculated to prevent the traffic in African slaves ; I hope soon to receive a ratification of a similar treaty , which has been signed with Spain .
" I am engaged in negociations with other Powers in Europe and in South America for the same purpose , and I trust that ere long the united efforts of all civilised nations will suppress and extinguish this traffic . " I perceive , with entire approbation , that you have directed your attention to the regulation of Municipal Corporations in England and Wales ; and I have cheerfull y given my assent to the Bill which you have passed for that purpose . " I cordially concur in this important measure , which is calculated to allay discontent , to promote peace and union , and to procure for those communities the advantages of responsible Government . " I greatly rejoice that the internal condition of Ireland has been such as to 2 7 .
