support Of a system Of alliance, which
originating chiefly in the magpanimous and
disinterested views Of the emperor OF Russia
and followed up as it has been with cores
ponding energy By the other allied powers,
has produced a change the most momentous
in the affairs of the continent

soon as the Publications Of them shall have
been duly exchanged
| have further to acquaint you, that |

the powerful league already formed, has
received an important addition of force by
the declaration of Bavaria against France.

ment; and that, justly approaching all the
value of the accession of that great power
to the common cause, you will be prepared,
as tar as circumstances will permit, to
enable me to support his Imperial Ma jesty
In the vigorous prosecution of the contest
The war between this country and the u.
States of America still continues but
have the satisfaction to inform YOU, that the
measures adopted by the government of the
United States for the conquest of Canada,
have been frustrated by the valor of His

Whilst u. Britain, IN conjunction with
her allies, is eAerting her utmost strength
! against the common enemy Of independent
nations, 1t must be matter Of deep regret to
lind an additional enemy in the government
OF country, whose real interest in the IS

as our own
1t IS known to the world that this coun,
try was not the aggressor in this war

on the part Of the government of the UNI.

vail myself consistently with a due atten-

am at all times ready to enter into dis
cussions with that government for con

OF perfect reciprocity not inconsistent with
the established maXims of public law, and
with the maritime rights of the British EN-

Geatlsmen Of the House Of Commons,
/ have directed the estimates Tor the ser
vices of the ensuing year to be laid before
you.
| | regret the necessity Of so large an ex-
penditure. which am confident, however.
you will judge to be unavoidable, when the
extent and nature OF our military exertions
are considered.
ientertain no doubt Of your readiness to
furnish such supplies as the public service
may require.
congratulate you on the improved and
iourishing state of our commerce and
trust that the abundant harvest which we
have received from the bountiful hand of
Providence, during the present year, will
afford material relieftoi his Majesty's people,
and produce considerable augmentation
in many branches OF the revenue.
Ny Lords and Gentlemen,
| congratulate you on the decided con
victlon which now happily prevails through
out SO large portion of Europe that the
war in which the allied powers are engag-
ed against the Ruler OF France is war Of
necessity; and that this views of universal
dominion can only be defeated by combin-
ed and determined resistance.
The public spirit and national entbusi-
asm which have successfully accomplished
the deliverance of the kingdoms of Spain
! and Portugal, and of the Russian Empire,
| now equally animate the German people
and we may justly entertain the fullest con
fidence that the same perseverance, ON their
part will ultimately lead to the same glo-
rious result
cannot but deplore most deeply the con-
tinuance of this extended warfare and of all
those miseries which the Unsuitable ambi.
ton OF the ruler of France has so long in.
fiicted upon Europe.
