is tall, slim, and as congenial as the
mould of nature could form it. His
port partakes of the elevated serenity
of his mind. It is lofty, firm, and
appears to have the dignity ol a su
periour nature. It blasts and with
ers and decays the public victim that
should wish to obscure the blaze of
his glory or obstruct the plans of his
policy or wisdom. An impulse al
most divine appears to inspire the
gait of the orator and the states
man.
It is an effort of conscious strength
to ascend to tile abode of divinity,
and place bis talents, not enough ap

TIIE SPEECH.
The following was the Speech as
delivered bv the Lord Chancellor :—
My Lords and Gentlemen,
“ His majesty commands us to ex
press to you his deep regret that the
exertions of the Emperor of Austria
against the ambition and violence of
trance have proved unavailing, and
that his imperial majesty has been
compelled to abandon the contest,
and to conclude a disadvantageous
peace. Although the war was un
dertaken by that monarch without
encouragement on the part of his ma
jestv, every effort was made for the
assistance of Austria which his ma
jesty deemed consistent with the due
“ The most important considera
tions of policy and of good faith re
quire, that as long as this great cause
can be maintained with proper suc
cess, it should he supported accord
ing to the nature and circumstances
of the contest, by the strenuous and
continued assistance of the power and
resources of bis majesty’s dominions ;
and his majesty relies on the aid of
his Parliament in his anxious endea
vors to frustrate the attempts of ^
France against the independence ofi su ''Lihiv lor W aggons and l *uing Car-
jpain and Portugal, and against the Eages, which will enaole them to
next door to Devercux Jarratt’s, and
nearly opposite John Matthews’s,
where business in that line will be
executed with neatness and dispatch.
They have on hand, a large sup
ply of
Excellent Timber,
welfare and interest of his own do
minions.
“ An attack upon the naval arma
ments and establishments in the
Scheldt affords at once the prospect
ol destroying a growing force, which
was daily becoming more formida
ble to the security of this country, Ik
of diverting the exertions of France
from the important objects of rein
forcing her armies on the Danube,
and ol controlling the spirit of resis
tance in the North of Germany.—
I hese considerations determined his
majesty to employ his forces in an
expedition to the Scheldt.
e • . . rlJ V vwiiaian.m Willi lilt UUC
.B kature.« may havo .he aspect of| tol hu j „, uh hl .
immaturity, has a radiance, a lustre
and a beaming energy, that mock the
pencil of the proudest artist. The
pervading beam of his hollow sun
ken eye, and the shrill piercing
sound of his voice, more terrible to
corruption, than the howling ol lhc
midnight ghost to timid superstition,
are enough to rive the soul of the
victim in the opposition, and to drive
from her throne erected on bleeding
liberty, the haggard and sable spirit
of oppression.
I have seen this man in the midst
of the assembled nation. I have seen
him rise to speak upon the most mo
mentous occasions. Silence, yes, the
silence of the grave and the serene at
tention ol Heaven’s hosts, pervaded
the assembly, and waited the divine
cflluence of his words. Slow, he
sitating, relapsing again and again
upon his exordium, he resembles in
the commencement of his Speeches
nothing so much as the sage Ulysses
or the still sager Nestor. By de
grees, he approaches the very heart
and vitals of his subject. His mind,
liis words, his gesture, his incompara
ble elocution, all amplify and expand
with the growing order and propor
tions of his subject. There appears
a sympathy or reaction between his
subject and his mind. His efforts
have now grown big with every tiling
portentous.—He has swelled the im
portance of his subject even to the
amplification of climax. Here he
brandishes, on the wild field of his
fancy and his genius, the weapons of
the hero, who by the splendour ol his
own achievement, is approaching the
temple of victory. Saturnian Jove
when he visits the radius of light is
not encircled with a greater blaze of
glory than the oi at or who is enthorn-
ed in the emblems of conviction in the
hearts of an admiring nation. The
very extremities of our new world
are moved with the life and light ol
the orator. The snow capt mountains
of Maine and Vermont and Savan
nah’s tossed tide, by their assenting
6ons, pay a tribute to the w isdom of
the youthful sage. He is every thing.
He may well be said “ to ride in the
whirlwind and direct the storm.'”—
The passions enlist themselves under
the tender echoes of his voice, and
the prejudices of a nation shrink and
disappear before the radiancy of rea
son and truth. The representatives
of the nation lung their heads and
yield a willing assent to the over
whelming tide of Ins eloquence and
the irresistible energy of conviction
and truth. The work is done. The
point is attained. The nation is sa
ved. And the oratcr retires from
the auspice of the passions and from
the theatre of his own and his coun-l
i:y s glory, without diminishing thcjFcninsuIa during the late campaign
wondrous magic he has left behind.] “ His majesty directs us to state

“ His majesty commands us to ac
quaint you, that the intercourse be
tween his majestv’s minister in Ame
rica and the government of the U. S.
has been suddenly and unexpectedly
interrupted. His majesty sincerely
regrets this event, he has, however,
received the strongest assurances
from the American minister resident
at this court that the U. S. are desi
rous of maintaining friendly relati
ons between the two countries. This
desire will be met by a correspond

jesty. ,

advantages, materially affecting the
security of his majesty’s dominions
in the further prosecution of the war,
will be found to result f rom the de
molition ol the docks and arsenals at
Flushing. This important object his
majesty was enabled to accomplish,
in consequence of the reduction of the
island of Walcheren by the valor of
his fleets and armies.
“ His majesty has given directions
that such documents and papers
should be laid before you as he trusts
yvill afford satisfactory informati
on upon the subject of this expediti
on.
“ We have it in command to state
to you that his majesty had uniform
ly notified to Sweden his majesty’s
decided wish, that in determining up
on the question of peace or yvar with
France, and other continental pow
ers, she should be guided by consi
derations resulting from her own
ituation and interests. While liis
majesty therefore laments that Swe-
den should have found it necessary
to purchase peace by considerable
sacrifices, his majesty cannot com
plain that she has concluded it with
out his majesty’s participation. It
is his majesty’s earnest wish that no
event mav occur to occasion the in
terruption of those relations of amity
which it is the desire of his majesty
and the interest of both countries to
preserve.
“ We have it further in command
to communicate to you, that the ef
forts of his majesty for the protecti
on of Portugal have been powerfully
aided by the confidence which the
Prince Regent has reposed in his ma
jesty, and by the co-operation of the
local government, & of the people of
that country. The expulsion of the
French from Portugal, by his majes
ty’s forces under lieutenant general
Viscount Wellington, and the glori
ous victory obtained by him at Ta-
lavcra, contributed to check the pro
