HOUSE OF I OROS, NOVEMBER 8.

This day, exactly at two o'clobk, his Royal Highness tile Pas wit
Rcces'i came down, in the usual state, and on entering this
}intl.., attended by the Royal Suite, in which the Swots! of State
vta. borne by the Earl of LIVERPOOL ; the Cap of Maintenance,
by tl.e Marquis of WINCIUSTIR ; the Imperial Crown of the
Realm by Lord JAIA IS MIARAT ; and the Prince of VlTAtaes
Crown, by the Earl of YARMOUTH—his Royal HighneSs took his
seat on the Throne. His Royal Highness was dressed En purple
and gold, with various orders—his entrance into the House was
announced by a discharge of cannon from the Lambeth shore.
Sir T. Trawurrr, Km. Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod,
was then sent to command the attendance of the Commons, who
forthwith, to a very considerable number, with the Speaker at
their head, appeared at the Bar.
The Power Kroger then delivered the following meet (m-
-elons Speech from the 'Drape s.
My Lora, a Goothstas,
" It is with deep regret that I am again obliged
to announce the cottieunnes -of his Majesty'h
maned indisposition. .
It would have given me rest satisfactioi to
have been enabled to communicate to yin the tar*.
nation of the war between this country and the United I
States of America.
,4 Although this war originated in the most un-
provoked aggression on the part of the Government
of the United States, and was calculated to promote
the designs of the common enemy of Europe against
the rights and independence of all other nations, I
never have ceased to entertain a sincere desire to bring
it to a conclusion on just and honourable terms.
" I am -still engaged in negotiations for this purpose.
The success of them must, however, depend on my
disposition being met with corresponding sentiments
on the part of the enemy.
4, The operations of his Majesty's forces by sea and
land in the Chesapeake, in the course of the present
year, have been attended with the most brilliant and
successful results. _ _ _

" The flotilla of the enemy in the Patuxent has
been destroyed. The signal defeat of their land
forces enabled a detachment of his Majesty's army to
take possession of the city of Washington, and the
spirit of enterprise which has characterized all the
movements in that quarter, has produced on the in-
habitants a deep and sensible impression of the cala-
mities of a war iii which they have been so wantonly
involved. _ _

“ The expedition directed from Halifax to the Nor-
thern coast of the United States has terminated in
a manner not less satisfactory. The successful course
of this operation has been followed by the immediate
submission of the extensive and important district
east of the Penobscot titer to his Maiesty's, arms.

" Notwithstanding the mime which appears to
have occurred on Lake Champlain, I entertain the
most confident expectation, as well from the amountd

ing in Canada, that the ascendancy of his Majesty's'
arms throughout that part of North America, will
,be effectually established.' . . .
" The opening of the Congress at Vienna has
been retarded, from unavoidable causes, to a Liter
period than had been expected. It will. be my ear-
nest endeavour, in the negotiations which are now in
progress, to promote such arrangements as may tend
to consolidate that peace, which, in conjunction with
fhis Majesty's Allies, I have had the happiness of
concluding; and to reestablish that just equilibrium
amongst the different Powers which will afford the
best prospect of permanent tranquillity to Europe.
" Gentlemen gibe House of Commons,
" I have directed the estimates for the ensuing
year to be laid before you.
" I am happy to be able to inform you, that the
revenue and commerce of the United Kingdom are
cr: the most flourishing condition.

'which we must.bn prepared to meet in the course of
the ensuing year; butlbe circumstances under which
the long and arduous ceriteet in Europe has been car-

". My Lord:, and Gentlemetit
a The peculiar character of the late war, as well
as the extraordinary length of its duration., must have
materially' affected the internal situation of all the
countries engaged in it, as well as the commercial
relations which formerly subsisted between them.
66 Under these circumstances, I am confident you
will • see the expediency of proceeding with due
cautit'n in the adoption of such regulations as may
be necessary for the purpose of extending our trade'
and securing oar present advantages: and you ma;
