rope would be ..flowed. t enjoy that it pose for which they lti.d
been so long contending t and that your efforts might be directed to
alleviate the burthemi of Hos Majesty's people. and to adopt such
measures as niirfot best promote the Intel hal prosperity of his
domit,ions. expectations were disappointed by au act of
iolenee and perfidy of which no parallel can be found in history.
The usurpation of -be Supreme Authority in France by Bona-
rarte. in consequence of the defection of the French armies from
reir legitimate sovereign. appealed to me to be an incompatible
with the gel eral -eenrity of other countries, as well as with the
imgagemeor, to which the French nation load recently been a party,
that I frit I had no alternative but to employ the military re-
!toffees of his Majesty's domiiiions, in conjunctilio with leis Majesty%
Allie•, to pr,•• ent the re s stablisloment of a system whir!' eXpetience
had pruned to be the source of such incalculable Woes to Europe.
Unit: r :neat circumstances you will have seen .1411 h just pride and
Ati,,b".lloo the splendid success with which it has pleased Divine
Providence to blew, His Majesty's arms and those of his Allies.
IVldlst the elotions and ever memorable Victory obtained at Water-
100, by Field Marshals the Dula of Wellington and Prince Bill•
rher, has added fresh lustre to the characters of those great
Commanders, and has exalteil the Military reputation of this comm
try beyond all former example. it has at the same time produced
the most decisive effects on the operations of the war, by delivering
from invasion the dominions of the King of the Netherlands, and
by placing, in the short space of fifteen days, the city of Paris and
a large part of the kinedoin of France ho the military oecupatiun
of the Allied armies. Amidst events so impoo twat, I am confident
on will see how necessary it is, that there should be no relaxation
in our exertions, mail 1 shall be enabled, in conjunction with his
Majesty's Allies, to complete thaze arrangements which may afford
the pruvert of permanent peace and security of Europe.
The Royal Assent was then. given to the Vote cf Credit, the
As•ize Repeal, and several private Bills ; atter which the
Prince Regent delivered the following most gracious Speech :

Gentlemen of the horse of Comanms,--1 thank you for the very
liber.A provision yon have made for the service of the present
year. I deeply lament the continuance and increase of tho-e
bortnens which the great military exertions of the present cam-
plign, combined with the heavy arrears remaining due for the
expellees of the former war, have rendered indispensible, and
which his Majesty's loyal subjects, from a conviction of their
uecessity. have sustained with such exemplary fortitude and cheer-
fuloess. Von have seen, already however, the fruit of the exertions
whickhave been made; and there can be no doubt that the best
economy will be found to result from that policy which may
enable us to bring the contest to the most speedy determination.
My Lards and Gentlemeh,—The brilliant and rapid success of
the Ansti not arms at the opening of the Campaign has led to the
restoration of the kingdom of Naples to its ancient Sovereign, and
to the deliverance of that important portion of !tidy from foreign
iadoence and dominion. • I have further the satisfaction or ac-
auaintiog you, that the ant!mrity of his Most Christian Majesty has

hope kill he terminated upon conditions calculated to cement
the good understanding subsisting between the two couraties,
cod equally beneficial to the intt.*•ts of both. I have great
pleasure in arqoainting von, that the labours of the Congress at
hula have been brouilit to a conclusion by the signature of a
reaty, which, as the ratifications have not yet been exchanged.

bled to isy before you when I next meet you in Parliament., I
cannot release 3.0 n from your attendance wi'hnut a,.stiriog you,
that it is in a great degree to the support which you have af-
flll.lh;ti me, that I ascribe the success of my earnest endeavours
for the public welfare ; and on no occasion has that support been
more important than in the course of the present SessiMi. Ili the
farther prosecution of such measures as may be necessary to bring
the guest contest in sluch we are enza;:ed to an honourable and
`Okfactoty conclusion, I Abu!l rely with confidence on the expe-
r:enced zeal and steady loyalty of all classes of his Majesty's
,Otiects ; mai they may depend on my efforts to improve our re-
mit ad ~ antages such Milliner as may best provide for the general
tranquillity of Europe, and maintain the high character which
this country enjoys among the nations of the world. Then the Lord
