His Royal Highness the Prince Regent, acting in the name

to you the satisfaction with which he finds himself enabled to re-
lieve you from your attendance in Parliament, e f►_er the long
ancllaborious duties of the Session. We are particularly directed
to express his approbation of the wisdom and firmness which
ybu have manifested in enabling his Royal Highness to continue
the exertions of this cnuntry in the cause of our Allies, and to
prosecute the war with increased activity and vigour.
Your determined perseverance in a system of liberal aid to
the brave and loyal nations of the Peninsula has progressively
augmented their means and spirit of resistance, while the hu-
mane attention which you have paid to the sufferings of the in
habitants of Portugal, under the unexampled cruelty of the
enemy, has confirmed the alliance by new ties of afkction, and
cannot fail to inspire additional zeal and animation is the main.
tenance of the common cause.

His Royal Highness especially commands us to declare his
cordial concurrence in the measures which you have adopted for
improving the intern..l security and military resources of the
United Kingdom.

For thcse imp'rtant purposes you have wisely proved, by es-
tablishing a system for the annual supply of the regular army,
and for the interchange of the militias of Great Britain and Ire.
land ; and his Royal Highness has the satisfaction of Informing
you, that the voluntary zeal which has already been manifested
upon this occasion has enabled him to give immediate operation
to an arrangement by which the union and mutual interest ( f
Great Britain and Ireland may be more effectually cemented
and improved.

the financial relief of Ireland at the present moment ; and derives
much satisfaction from perceiving that you have been able to ac.
complish this object with so little additional 6urthen upon thg
resources of this part of the United Kingdom. The manner in
which you have taken into consideration the condition c f thp
Irish Revenue has met with his Royal Highness's approbation;
and his Royal Highness commands us to add, that be looks
with confidence to the advantage which may be derived from
the attention of Parliament having been iiiven to this important
subject.

Lieute-:ant-General Viscount Wellington, are most important
to the interests and glorious to the Character of the country.
His Royal Highness warmly participates in all the sentjmenis
which have been excited by those successes, and concurs in the
