" I cannot close this Session of Porfia,uvent, without rc-
potting the expression of ray .!eep regret at the continuance
of It is Nikie,ty's lamented indiso4ition...

"When, in eonsequenc,, of that. calamity. the powers of
Government were. first entrusted to me, I foiiroi this country

engaged in a war wi.th the greater part' of Europe,
" I determileil to adhere to that line of policy which his
West); had ad ,ped, and in wl'irh he had persevered under
so many and such .trying difficulties.
"The zealous and unremitting snppprt and assistance
which I h,ve,rectived from yn:l, and from all classy,: of his
Majesty's subjects; the consummate skill and ability dis-
played by the great Commander, whose servites si have so
justly acknowledged ;- and the ~valonr and intrepidity of his
Majesty's forces by sea and land; ha-ve enabled tne,"under
the blessing of Divine Providence, to surmount all the Cid&
culties with which I have had to coritcpd.
"'I have the satisfaction of contemplating the full accont-
'plislititent of till, those obje&s for which the wtr was either
undertaken or continued ; and .the unexampled tkcrtions of
this country, emphined with those of his Majesty's Allies,
have succeeded in effecting tire deliverance of Europe from
the roost galling and oppressive tyranny under which it has
ever laboured.

" The restoration of so many of the ancient and legitimate
ClOyernments of the Continent affords the best prospect of the
permanence of that peace which, in ediuntiction with his Ma-
jesty's Allies, I have concluded; and you may rely on my
efforts being directed, at the apprnaching Congress, to 'com-
plete the settlement of Europe, which has been already so
irtipiclowly begot), and to • promote, upon prinCiples of jus-
tiee' and impartiality, all theise measures which may appear
bast calculated to secure the tranquillity and happiness of all
the nations engaged itt,the late war:
-(` I regret the continuance' of hostilities with the United
Stotes of America. Niitwithstanding the unpioroiicd aggres-
sion of the Government of that country,. and ,the circtun+
Stances under which it took place,' I am sincerely desirous' of
the restoration of peace between the two Nations upon con-
ditions honourable to both. But until this' object can be-ob-
tained, I am persuaded yen will see the necessity of my avail-
ing myself of the means now at my disposal to prosecute the
war, with increased vigour.

It is a peculiar grathication to me to he enabled to assure
Ton, that full ju:tic,c is rendered throughout Enrope to that
manly. perseverance 7hieh, arni4l-, the convulsions on, the
?..:ontitient; has preserved this country against all the designs
of enemies, has augmented, the resources and extended
the dorni-nions of the lir]tish Empire, and has proved in its

result.as beneficial to other nations as to our own.

" I-lis Majesty's suhjects-eatinot fail to be' deeply sensible
of the distinguished advantitges which tlicy have possessed ;
a'-a1 lam persuaded that they will ascribei them, under Pre
-
id ••n-e, to -that Constittrimi whiCh it has now for a century
been the object of my family to maintain unimpaired, and,
under which the people of this realm have enjoyed more of
real liberty at imine, and .()f true glory abrOad, than has ever
fal.en to the-lot of any nation." •
