with dispatches to Mr.. Russell, reach.
ed Cowes, Dec. %. On the 9TH Jan
the Prince Regent addressed the House
Of Commons in speech Of considera-
bic length, In which, after lamenting
the poor state Of his Majesty's health,
he informs them that the measures
which have been pursued for the
defence of Spain and Portugal, have
proved completely effectual and ex-
presses hope that they will continue
to furnish him with the means of main
tanning the contest with undiminished
zeal Although American papers to
the 9TH Of Dec. had reached England,
containing the violent clamors of our
congressional war hawks, yet the fol-
lowing is the mild and conciIiatory Ian
guage OF his Royal Highness on the
subject OF his relations with us 80" He
regrets that various important subjects
of difference with the Government of
the U s. of "A. still remsin unadiusted,
the difficulties which the affair of the
Chesapeake frigate occasioned, have
been finally removed and he assures
them that IN the further progress of the
discussion with the United States, he
will continue 10 employ such means OF
