indisposition. With respect to those important parts
of the Royal Speech, which referred to our existing
relations with the United States of America, he
trusted their Lordships would recollect, that they first
declared war against this country, and at a period
when they thought that our external and internal re-
lations were in that state of difficulty, from the un-
paralleled exertions we were mating with a view to
the deliverance of Europe, that they could join, and
support the cause of the Ruler of France, with the
greatest advantage and effect. Under such circum-
stances America felt no repugnance to declare in his
favour. The Continent of Europe owed its eventual
deliverance to the firmness and exertions of this coun-
try, combined with the other illustrious powers who
so nobly sided with us. Pjo efforts were wanting on
the part of the American Government to obstruct
those measures of policy; which had solely for their
object the establishment of a safe and honourable

,countvy with America, he was satisfied that the
_Prince Regent was desirees of the speedy.attainment
el a safe and honourable peace, but he trusted that
dere would be taken to have a peace really of that
dipracter and description. The gallant and success-
ful enterprise undertaken by Sir Alexander Cochrane
and General Ross was known to, and, he doubted
not, must afford satisfaction to all their Lordships;
and when it was confidered how large a disposeable
forge we should hate to act against our remaining
!Veiny, there could, he thought, be little doubt- as to
the result of the contest, notwithstanding the disas.
ter: which lately occurred on Lake Champlain. It
certainly must afford great satisfaction to the House,
to be apprised from the highest authority of the
flourishing state of our commercial and financial re.
lations ; and still rnore so, to learn that measures
would be taken into serious consideration, for the
promotion of the general interest and the improve-
ment of those advantages we had acquired. In con-
cluding, he begged leave to say a few words respect-
ing the part he had then taken. He was fully aware
of the advantages obtained for the •country by the
government of the Prince Regent ; but by no means
himself bound by that support longer than they
continued in that line of policy which proved itself so
advantageous and honourable to the country, which
was guided by sound principles, and had for one of
its objects the inainteuance 04 those substantial laws,
which were elaturod by the eiperience, and transmit.'
lad to us by the wisdom of our ancestors, and which
proved the best means of carrying us through a period
of unexampled difficulty and danger. The Noble
Earl concluded by moving an Address to his Royal
Highness the Prima Regent as usual, embracing the
leading topics of the Speech, expressive of the appro.
lotion of their Levdabips, and assuring his Royal
Highness of the support of the House. •
The from the Woolsaeks. •
The Ear oft) AWARE seconded the motion
.3514tre-aLbeAga
for agreeing to the same; and expressed his hope that
the general sense of the House would render it un-
necessary for him to offer many arguments to induce
their Lordships concurrence. He, however, solicited
their Lordships indulgence while he offered a few
observations.- The regret which they all felt at the
continuance of his Majesty's indisposition, was ren-
dered the more painful by the recollection that he
did not in his latter days participate in the joyful sen-
sation resulting from the bright dawn which at length
had dissipated the gloom induced by a long and
eventful struggle, and from the restoration of peace
among all the civilized nations of the Old World.—
But their Lordships knew the gates of the temple of
Janus were not yet quite closed : though the sound
and din of. war were no longer heard throughout the
Continent of Europe, we still had an enemy to com-
bat, whose hostility seemed to proceed from a rooted
enmity to this country. So far from being ac, u.itcd
by the example of Europe, there seemed to exist in-
creased malignity in the Western Hemispio re to-
wards this country. The war originated on lie part
of the United Statet, at a time when this country was
engaged in a contest for that very liberty of nations,
of which America declared herself the champion. It
would scarcely be believed by posterity, that while
we were engaged in an unequal struggle, on which
the fate of Europe depended, America had declared
war against us, and attacked our Canadian frontiers.
Adverting to the prominent operations on the Conti-
nent of North America, his Lordship paid an elo-
quent tribute of applause to the memory of the gal-
lant Chief who expired in the arms of victory : and
referring to the Congress at Vienna, the opening of
which had been unavoidably delayed, he trusted their
Lordships would think that a better mode than that
devised for obtaining general security—even self-in.
terest, that ever powerful motive, would operate as
a reciprocal check against the future aggressions of
the Continental States. The termination of the war
afforded ground for just exultation, when they called
to mind those outrages and abuses committed by a
fanatic ambition, in the effort to exclude our com-
merce imm every port of Europe—when shey beheld
the fruitlesi result of the high sounding anathemas
which were fulminated against this country. These
were consoling reflections, whilst they had unavoid-
ably to lament the necessity of making farther provi.
sien for an extmeire expenditure ; and he trusted
they would all jells la the support of measures to ren-
der that pease universal. which now so happily reign-
ed in three quarters of the world.
The Earl of-DARNLEY could not agree with
the Noble Mover and seconder of the Address, that
the present state of things promised to produce per-
manent ad and tranquillity. When he saw
