nnder his command, and has contributed
ms iii that part of the Peninsula.
The Prince Regent is assured, that while
you reflect with pride and satisfaction on
the conduct Of his Majesty's troops and Of
the allies, in these various and important
services, you will render Justice to the con-
summate Judgment and skill displayed by
General Lord Viscount Wellington in the
direction Of the campaign.
In Spain the spirit OF the people remains
ansuboued. and the system OF warfare so Pc
culiarly adapted to the actual condition of
the Spanish ration, has been recently ex-
tended and improved under tho advantages
which result from the operations Of the ALI
ed armies on the frontier, and from the
counsenance and assistance of his liaiesty's
navy on the Coast.
Although the great eXcrtions of the enemy
have III some quarters been attended with
success, his Royal Highness is persuaded
you will admire the perseverance and gall
lantry manifested by the Spanish armies
Even in those provinces principally occupied
by the French forces, new energy has arisen
among the people, and the increase of diff
Guilty and danger has produced more con-
nected efforts OF general resistance.
The Prince Regent, in the namo and on
the behalf Of his Majesty, commands us to
express his confident hope that you will c.
nable him to continue to afford the most eff
fectual aid and assistance in the support of
the contest, which the brave nations of the
Peninsula still maintain with such undated
zeal and resolution.
His Royal Highness commands us to ex-
press his congratulations OH the success of
the British arms in the Island of Java.
The Prince Regent trusts that you will
N NJ I,rbr
ing the wisdom and ability with which this
Enterprise, as well as the capture of the Is
lands OF Bourbon and the Mauritius, has been
conducted under the immediate direction of
the Gov. General of India and that you
will applaud the decision, gallantry and spi-
rit conspicuously displayed in the late ope-
rations OF the brave army under the COM
mand OF that distinguished officer, Lit. Gen.
pr samuel Auchmuty, So powerfully &c a
bly, supported by his Majesty's naval force.
BY the completion of this system of ope-
rations, great additional security will have
been given to the British Commerce & Pos
sessions in the East Indies, and the Colonial
Power of France will have been entirely ex-
tinguished.
His Royal Highness thinks it expedient to
recommend to your attention the propriety
ofproviding such measures for the future
government of the British possessions in In
dia, as shall appear from experience, and
upon mature deliberation, to be calculated to
secure their internal prosperity, and to de-
rive from those Furnishing dominions the ut
most degree OF advantage to the Commerce
and Revenue of the United Kingdom.
We are commanded by the Prince Re-
gent to acquaint you, that while his Royal
Highness regrets that various important
subjects of difference with the Government
OF the United States of America still remain
unadJusted, the difficulties which the affair
of the Chesapeake frigate occasioned, have
been finally removed and we are directed
TO assure you, that in the further progress
OF the discussions with the United States,
the Prince Regent will continue to employ
such means of cancellation as may be CON
sssent with the honor and dignity Of his Ma.
jesty's Crown, and with the due maintenance
OF the maritime and commercial rights and
interests of the British Empire.
Gentlemen Of the House of Comm ns,
His Royal Highncss has directed the
Estimates for the service of the current
year to be laid before you. He trusts
that you will furnish him with such
supplies as may be necessary to enable him
to continue the contest in which his majesty
is engaged, with that spirit and exertion
which will afford the best prospect of its
successful termination.
His Royal Highness commands US to re-
commend that you should resume the con-
sideration of the state of the finances of
Ireland, which you had commenced in the
last Session of Parliament. He has the sa
tisfaction to inform you, that the improved
receipt of the revenue of Ireland in the last,
as compared with the preceding year, con-
firms the belief that the depression which
that revenue had experienced is to be at
tributed to accidental and temporary eau
ses.
My Lords and Gentlemen,
The Prince Regent is satisfied that You
entertain just sense of the arduous duties
which his Royal Highncss has been called
upon to fulfil, in consequence of his Males
ty's continued indisposit on.
Under this severe calamity, his Royal
Highness derives the greatest consolation
from his reliance on your experienced wis
dom, loyalty and public spirit, to which in
every difficulty he will resort, with firm
confidence, that through your assistance x
support, he shall be enabled under the bles-
sings of Divine Providence, successfully to
discharge the important functions of the
high trust reposed in him, and in the name
and on the behalf of his beloved Father
and revered Sovereign, to maintain un;m.
paired the prosperity and honor Of the ma
ton.
