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.

CHARLOTTE Of WALES, attended by Lady, DE
CLIFFORn, arrived at Kensington 'Palace, to dine

Royal Highness, attended by the same Lady, re-.
turned to Windsor.'
