The SPEAKER, Attfindtl by several Members,
soon.after appeared at the Bar with the Vote ()t
Credit Bill, in his'hand; and after bowing to the
Prince Regent, addressed his Royal Highness in
the following, terms
~.

illay it. please your Royal Highness,
We, his Majesty's*rnost dutiful and loyal subjects, the
Conunons of Great Britain and Ireland, do now attend piitr
Royal Highness with our last Bill of Supply for the srvict,
of the present year:

".Assembled at a period when the fate of Europe was still
doubtful; and, balanced "b; alternate. hopes -and ievers'es, we
have been anxious but not inactive spectators of those great
transactions which hare wrought so fortunate a change in the
-state of the civilized world.

" Daring this portentous interval, we have pursued our le-
gislative labours according to our accustomed course, 'apply-
ing practical reun.dics to the practical evils incident to old
establishments, or arising out of IJCW o'c.mrrences ; iu some
cases proceeding -eilierimentally by laws of -a limited. dura-
tion; in others collecting such materials of information us
may lay the ground for future measures; and those
may
.come after us will see traces of that progressive improyeinezi!,
'which the sober -habit' of this country cautiously, but nut
reluctantly, adopts into the system of its domestic policy and
jurisprudence.

- "'With respect to our.financial arrangements, by the pro,
vident measures of a former Session, we have been enabled
to refrain from augmenting.the barthens of the people, and.
at the same time to make our, military exertions correcpuud
with'the scale of passing events.
Whilst we. have 'been. thus eniployad, the destinies o(
-Europe have been gradually unrolled- before our eyes,; and
.the powerful nations of the North sending forth their col-
lective strength to try the last issues of war, whilst Great,
Britain and her Allies were,. with equal vigour, Advancing
from the South; their joint efforts have at length ace( ca
pl ished. the Alownfall'of the greatest military despotism which;
in modern days, has 'disgraced and desolated the earth.

" In these arduous struggles, we can look back, with just
- -
Pride, on the discharge of our high duties. The British aipy,
motioned upon a wise system, steadily and:imparti allyadmi-
nistered at hoine,' and conducted by consummate skill and
valour• in the field, has borne its complete share ►n the glo-
riOui conclusion of this long and eventful, mu.; and his ZvIA-
