We this morning received the following letter from Deal : " Four men, who effected their escape from a French prison, arriyea here yesterday afternoon, from Dunkirk, accompanied by one of the crew of the French frigate lying in'that port, who as . sisted- them in taking away one of the frigate's boats, in which they crossed tile Channel 3: from these men we learn, that the report 'of - the death of BIJONAPARTE is extensively circulated, and much credited, in France, but no officizi communication has been made of the circum stance ; the Public Authorities, indeed; discoun tenance it. AdviceS, received this . morning from other parts of the Coast, concur in stating, that the report of BLIONAPART death is very preva lent, but cannot be trausni to anyauthentic source. This, day Royal gighness the PRINCE, R ; E, GENT went in State to the House of Peers, and delivered a Speech to both Hausa/of Parliament, of which the following is an az..ourate account Lords and genth,./nen, It is with the deepest concern I am obliged to announce to you, at the opening of the present Parliament, the continuance of the lamented in disposition of h;s MATESTY, and the diminution of the hopes I have most anxiously entertained of his Majesty's recovery. The situation of public affairs has induced me to take the earliest oppoltunity of meeting you after the lute Elections. am persuaded you will participate in the sa-' tisfaction I feel at the improvement of onr pros pects during the year. The zeal and intrepidity displayed by' the forces of his Majesty and of the Allies in the Peninsula., on so many occasions, and the consnmmate skill and judgment with which the operations have been, conducted by the Mar quis of WELLINGTON have led to cqnsequences.of the utmost importance to the common cause in that quarter. By transferring the war into the interior, and by the glorious victory of Salamanca, the enemy has beep compelled to raise the siege of Cadiz, and the Southern Provinces of Spain have been de livered from the arms of. France.; although I can not but regret that the efforts of the enemy have rendered it necessary to withdraw from the siege of Burgos, and evacuate Madrid. These efforts nevertheless have been attended with important sacrifices on their part, which must materially contribute to extend the resources and facilitate the exertions of the Spanish nation. I am confident I may rely on your affording every assistance in support of the great contest which has first given to the Continent of Europe the example of persevering and successful resist ance to the Power of France, and on which not only the independence of the Nations of the Pe ninsula, but the best interests of his Majesty's dominions essentially depend, The Speech then proceeds pearly as follows In a contest tor his own rights and lor the in dependence of his 4orninionS, the . Emperor of Russia has had to oppose a large proportion of the military resources of the. French Government, assisted by its Allies and tributary States de= pendent' upon it. The, resistance which he has op posed to so formidable a combination cannot fail to excite the sentiments of lasting admiration; By his own Magnanimity and 'perseverance, 'by , the zeal and 'disinterestedness of all ranks of his subjects., and by the galhuitry, firmness, and in trepidity of his forces, the presumptuous expect i tions of the enemyhave been signally disappointed. The enthuGiasm of the Russian nation has in creased with the difficulties of the contest, and the dangers with which it is surrounded. They have submitted to sacrifices without an •example in the history of civilized Nations, and I entertain a confident hope, that the determined perseverance of his Imperial Majesty will be Crowned with ultimate success, and the contest in its result, have the effect of establishing upon a foundation never to' be shaken, thie Independl anee and Security of the Russian "Empire. The proof of confidence I • have received in the rrynsure of sending file - Russian Fl•cet to the Ports of this -Connlry, is h the highest Ilegree gratifying ; aiicl fiis IMpe - riat Majesty may most fully rely •upon my fixed eietennination to afford him my most obrdial stipport - iii the great Contest in which he is engaged. I have concluded a Treaty with his Sicilian Ma . - jesty, supplementary to the Treaties of ;808 and 1809, copies of which 'I have directed to be leid before you ; my object has been to prOvide for the more extensive application. of the force of clue s Si cilian Government to offensive operations ; a mea - sure, combined with the . and enlightened policy which prevails in the Councils of 'his Sici lian Majesty, is calculated to augment his power and resources, and, at the same time, to ren der the most es.'3cntial service to the common cause. The Speech then alludes to• America. The De claration of War by the- United States of America, was made under circumstances wick might have af forded a reasonable expectation that the, amicable relations between the two countries would not be long extinguished. It is with sincere regret I acquaint you, that the conduct and pretensions of that Government have hitherto prevented , the conclusion of a pacific arrangement. Their measures of hostility have been principally • directed against the adjoining British Provinces, and every effort hits been made to seduce the inhabitance from their allegiance to his Ma;esty. The proofs of loyalty and attachment Which I have received from his Majesty's Subject:, in North America are highly satisfactory. The attempts to invade Upper Canada have not , only proved abortive, but by the judicious arrangements ,of the Governor General, and by the skill and decision with which the military operations have been conducted,' the . forces which the enemy bad assembled in one quarter, have been compelled •ro capitulate, and in another quarter have been completely :defeated. My first -efforts,• however, are not wanting to restore the relations of peace and amity between the two countries ; but till ,this can he attained, without sacrificing the maritime rights of Great Britain, I shall rely on your cordial support in the vigorous prosecution of the war. The Speech then addresses the House of Cora- 1110114 : Gentlemen of The House of Commons, I hare ordered the estimates of the ensuing year to be laid before you, and 'I entertain flo doubt of tour readiness to furnish such supplies as may enable me to provide for the great in terests committed to my charge, and to afford the best prospect of bringing the contest in which we dre engaged to a successful termination. • My Lords and Gentlemen, , The appl'oaching e::piration of the Charter of the East,lndia Company renders it necessary far me to call your early attention to the propriety of providing more effectually for the-future Govern ment of our possessions in the East Indies. In considering the variety of interests connected with this important subject, I rely on your wis dom to make such arrangement's as may best pro mote the prosperity of those territories, and at the same time secure the greatest advantage to the commerce and revenue of His . Majesty's domi nions. I have desired the greatest satisfaction from the success of die measure adopted by Parliament for snppressing those acts of outrage and insubordi nation which appeared in some parts of the king dom ; and from the -disposition manifested to take advantage of the indemnity held '.ont to the .deluded by the wisdom and benevolence of Parliament. I trust I shall never have'Occasion to lament the recurrence of atrocities so'repug milt to. the British character, and that all his Majesty's subjects' will be impressed with this convictiOn, that the happiness of individuals, and the welfare of the State, equally depend on strict obedience to the•laws, and steady attachment to our excellent Constitution. In the loyalty of -the people, and in the wisdom of Parliament, I place the greatest reliance. The same firmness and per severance manifested on so many and such trying occasions will, I am persuaded, not be . ',wanting, a at time when; the eyes of all Europe and of the world are fixed upon you. I can assure you, 'that in . the execution of the great trust reposed in me, no sentiment is so near my. heart as the desire to promote, by every means in my power, the real prosperity, liberty, and happiness, of his Majesty's subjects.
