I thank you for the assurance that my faithful Commons will support my efforts for 96 the suppression of revolt, and the restoration of tranquillity, in Lower Canada. The unfortunate events which have taken place in that province have given me deep concern, and I shall look forward with anxiety to the period when the re-establishment of order may enable me to lay the foundations of lasting peace and concord. The spirit which has been manifested by the loyal inhabitants of my Northern American provinces, and the exertions which they have made in support of my authority, demand my warmest acknowledgements.
