My Lords and Gentlemen,
In terminating the present session of Par
lament, his Royal Highness the Prince Re-
gent has commanded us to express to Won
the deep concern and sorrow which he feels
at the continuance of mis- Majesty's lamen-
ted indisposition.
His Royal Highness regrets the interrupt
lions, which have occurred in the progress
of public business, during this long and la
POROUS session, in consequence of an event
which his Royal Highness must ever deplore.
Inc zeal and unwearied assiduity with
which you nave Persevered in the discharge
OF the arduous duties imposed upon Won by
the SITUATION OF the country, and the state
OF public affairs, demand his ROYAL High
ness warmest acknowledgements.
Inc assistance which you have enabled
MS Royal iighness to continue to the brave
and loyal nations of the Peninsula, is calcu-
lated N h..
Ills Royal Highness most warmly parti-
cipates in those sentiments of appreciation
which you have bestowed on the consum-
mate skill and intrepdity displayed in the
operations which led to the capture of the
important fortresses of Ciudad Rodrigo and
hadaJoz, during the present campaign and
his Royal Iiighness confidently trusts, that
the tried valour of the allied forces under
the distinguish he'd command of General the
Earl OF Wellington, combined with the una
Dated spirit and steady. perseverance, of the
spanish and Portuguese nations. will finally
Dring the contest in that quarter to an issue,
by which the independence of the Peninsula
will be efeCtually secured.
Ihe renewal of the war in the North of
Europe furnishes an additional proof of the
little security which can be derived from
any submission to the usurpations and tyran-
ny OF the French Government. His Roval
Highness is persuaded, that you will be sen
siole OF the great Importance of the struggle
IN which the Emperor of Russia has been
compelled to engage and that you will APP
prove OF his Royal Highness affordne to
those Powers who may be united in this con-
test every degree of cooperation and as
sistance. consistent with his other engage
| nents, and with the interests of his Males
| tvs dominions
| His Royal Highness has commanded us
to assure you, that he views with most sim
cere regret the hostile measures which have
been recently adopted by the Government
OF the United States of America towards this
country. His Royal Highness is neverthe-
less willing to hope that the accustomed re-
\ lations OF peace and amty between the two
countries may yet be restored but if his
expectations in this respect should be disap-
pointed by the conduct of the Government
OF the United States, or by their persever-
ance in any Warrantable pretensions. he
will most fully rely on the support of every
class OF his Majesty's subjects, in a contest
In which The honour of his Majesty's crown
and the best Interests of his dominions mus,
| be involved
Gentlemen offhe House of Commons.
We have it in command from his .Roval
ftlghness to thank you for the liberal pro-
| VISION which you have made for the services
OF the present year. His loyal HighDess
deeply regrets the burthens which YOU have
found 1t necessary TO impose upon his Ma
Jesty's people but he applauds the wisdom
which has induced you so largely to provide
for the eXig Of the public service, as
afiordng the best prospect of bringing tn 6
contest in which the country is engaged &c
a successful and honourabe concIusion.
