SPEECH of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, Regent, on the Opening of the British Parliament, 8th November, 1814. My Lords and Gentlemen, It is with deep regret that I am again obliged to announce the continuance of His Majesty's lamented indisposition. It would have given me great satisfaction to have been enabled to communicate to you the termination of the War between this Country and the United States of America. Although this War originated in the most unprovoked Aggression on the part of the Government of The United States, and was calculated to promote the designs of the Common Enemy of Europe against the Rights and Independence of all other Nations, I never have ceased to entertain a sincere desire to bring it to a conclusion on just and honourable terms. I am still engaged in Negotiations for this purpose; the success of them must, however, depend on my disposition being met with corresponding sentiments on the part of the Enemy. The Operations of His Majesty's Forces by Sea and Land in the Chesapeake, in the course of the present year, have been attended with the most brilliant and successful results. The Flotilla of the Enemy in the Patuxent has been destroyed. The signal defeat of their Land Forces enabled a Detachment of His Majesty's Army to take possession of the City of Washington; and the spirit of enterprize which has characterized all the movements in that Quarter has produced on the Inhabitants a deep and sensible impression of the calamities of a War in which they have been so wantonly involved. The Expedition directed from Halifax to the Northern Coast of The United States has terminated in a manner not less satisfactory. [1814-15.] B |
