Prince Regent's Speech.
Bouse of Lords, Tuesday , Nov. 8.
1 his clay at 12 o’clock, the
Venice Regent went in the ufuai
hate to the Houle of Peers, and
being seated on the Throne, pro
nounced the following- molt gra
cious Speech to Parliament:
My Lords and Gentlemen.
It is with deep regret that I 1
an again obliged to announce the !
continuance of his majesty’s lament- ,
ed inddpofn.on.
It would heve given me great fa
tisfa&ion to have been enable to
communicate to you the termina
tion of the war between this coun
try and the United States of Ame
rica.
Altho, this war originated in the
mo it unprovoked aggrefiion on the
part of the government or the U
nited States, and was calculated to
promote the defig.ns of the com
mon enemy, againff the rights and
independence of all other nations, I
/never have ceased to entertain a iin
cere desire to bring it to a conclu
sion on just and honorable terras.
I am (till engaged in negocia
tions for this purpose ; tile luccefs
of then), however, mu ft depend on
my disposition being met with cor
rei’ponding fentimeiUs on the part of
I'he enemy.
The operation of his Maj-fly’s
forces by tea and land in the Ches
apeake, in the course ot the pre
lent year, have been attended with
the molt brilliant and luccelsful re
sults.
The flotilla in the Patuxent has
been destroyed. The signal defeat
of their land forces enabled a de
■achment of his Majesty’s army, to
take polfeflion of the City of Wash
ington ; and the spirit ot enterprise
which has charaiterifed all the
movements in that quarter, has
on the deep
and ftnflble imprefiion of the.ca
la mi ties 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 Ids fatisfadorty.
The fuccefsful course of this opera
tion has been followed by the iin
medirate submission of the exten
sive & important diftrid ealt of the
Penobfcot river to his Ma] efly's
arms.
In adverting to these events, I am
confident you will be disposed to
render full justice to the valor and
< dipline which have distinguished
his Majesty’s land and sea forces;
and you will regret with me the se
vere loss the country has sustained
by the fall of the gallant comman
der of his Mayfly’s troops in the
advance upon Baltimore.
i availed my fell of the earliest
opportunity afforded by the slate
cf affairs in Europe, to detach a
conflderable military force to the
river St. Lawrence ; but its arrival
could not poflibly take place till an
advanced period in the campaign.
Notwithflanding the reverse
which appears to have occurred on
Lake Champlain, I entertain the
mofl confident expe&aticn. as well
Torn the amount as from the dr-
1 fcflption of the Brkith force flow
serving in Canada, that the afeen
dancy of his M a jelly’s arms thro*-
out that part of North America, will
be effedually eflablifhed.
The opening of the'Congrefs at
Vienna has been retarded, from un
avoidable carafes, to a later period
titan had been expected.
It will be my earned! endeavour
in the negotiations which are now
in progress, to promote such ar
rangements as may tefid to consol
idate that peace which in conjunc
tion with his Majeliy’s allies, I
have had the happiness of conclu
ding ; and to re-eflab'Hh that yuft
equilibrium atnpngft the different
powers, which will afford the be it
prqfpect of permanent tranquil):y
in Europe.
Gen ilemen of the House cf Commons,
I regret the necessity of the large
expenditure which we mud be
prepared to meet in the enfoing
year; but the circu affiances under
which the long and arduous con
flid in Europe has been carried on
and concluded, have unavoidably
led to large arrears, for which you
will fee the neceftky of providing,
and the war fliil fubfffiinsr with A
merica, renders tlie continuance of
great exertions indifpenfiibie.

So much rluU'icdf. so much

much incohercncy , truths, lies and
incomprehensibilities have been ihdi,
expressed, printed , on the fubjecl of

the treaty presents us with a view or
things we knew before.: what we
never anticipated ; what we cared
nothing about; what: may benefit
us, and what was not the caulb of

Literature and morality fliould
go hand in hand. Every literary
inflitution mould be a nursery of
virtue and true piety. Nothing
I which has the least immoral ten-
I ciencv ought to be countenanced by
! those who have the care of youth.
It is not only a delightful, but an
i important talk,
“ 1 o teach the young idea hew to shoot
“And pour the fresh instruction Per
“the mind.”
1j this talk parents and guardi
n’ o.:ght to lend their aid. With
ou. a co operation of this kind, it
would be almoll impoflible for a
! teacher to attempt to inlfill princi
i pies of virtue and piety in the
! youths under his care. Every per
: ion of reflection knows by experi
i cnee, that the imprefiions which
: are made Upon the mind when
young, are much more permanent
than thole which are made at a
i more advanced period of life. Add
| to this that man is an imitative crca
■ lure, then the propriety and necessity
■ of virtuous precept and example will
; at once appear, if it be ad railed that
virtue is neceflary to refpedibiiity
( in this world and happiness in the
: next. Experience as well as cli
! vine Revelation teaches us human
nature is prone to evil, and has
much need oi being surrounded bv
| wholelome reflraims, to keep it
j from running into the word kind
j of anarchy and cpnfufifcn. Youth
! cipcctally are desirous to lean to
!to fh Ar own imdei flandiag, .-and
: A- more than nine cases out of tea
I they prefer objects of pleasure to
those cf utility; present (en'.ual
gratification to future mental enjoy
j meat. Tlut young people poffbfj
a disposition of this fort is well
known to those adepts in diflipa
tion, who are to be found in aimed
every neighborhood; therefbre
they endeavour so tr.ke the advan
tage of this disposition, and c’re our
youth are aware they arc 1 wept imo
the vortex of ignorance and dissi
pation. Nothing will more effec
tually impede the progrcls of youth
indue acquirement of ufeful knowl
edge, than attending parties of
pleasure, a (lent b lies or balls, cards
There is fomerhing in the
nature of these things so infatuating
as to deflroy ulmolt, if no: altogeth
er iu the young mind, a rciifli for
improvement in ufeful knowledge.
Moreover they also dettroy tiiat
spirit of/übo’rdination, which is ab
solutely ‘nec.effiry in tide .well being
of any literary limitation. If young
men who have arrived at the years
of maturity, mud meet lor the pur
pose of revelling, let them be con
tent to do so, without endeavouring
to draw off from their academical
pnrfuits those who are engaged in
afeending the hill of Science.—-
Such rude attempts to violate the
morals, and lead affray the paflions
of young females between the age
of ten and fourteen years, muff
meet the marked dilapprobation of
every sober-minded well-wither of
the human family.
