עמוד 13 - ... application to public measures, to indicate the spirit in which the King's Government is prepared to act. Our object will be, the maintenance of peace ; the scrupulous and honourable fulfilment, without, reference to their original policy, of, all existing engagements with . foreign powers; the support of public credit; the enforcement of strict economy, ; and the just and impartial consideration of what is due to all interests ; agricultural, manufacturing, and commercial.
