Speech which has been so anxiously lchked
for, that he recommends vigorous prose-
cuJion of the war against this country, till
Peace can be attained, without sacrificing
'' one title" of their maritime rights, as
ministerial paper expresses it.
After the Prince Regent had retired, an
interesting debate took place in the House
of Lords. on motion of Lord Longford to
move an Address; who. in the course of
his remarks merely adverted to the war
with America.
The Address to the Prince was seconded
by Lord Role.

Sble view of the Speech. and in advcrting
&C. the war with America he said,
60 No attack could be more unjustihable
Than that made by America, and that no
cause COULD be more righteous than that of
England" He denied that the Orders in
Council was the cause Of this war" No,
