= DECLARATION.
The earnest endcavors of the Prince Re-
gent to preserve the relations OF peace and
amity with the ~. s. of America, having
unfortunately failed, his royal highness,
acting 10 the name and on the behalf of
his majesty, deems it proper publicly to
declare the causes and origin of the war in
which the government Of the u. S. has
compelled him to engage.
NO desire OF conquest or other ordinary
motives ot aggression has been or can be,
with any color Of reason, in this case, i'm
puted to g. Britain: that her commercial
interests were on the side Of peace, if WAR
could have been avoided, without the sa-
criioe ct her maritime rights or without
any lujuriois submission to France, is a
truth which the American government will
not deny.
