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. r RIE ND&?MON l•r (> I>. 1’ RID AY, M arch 3th la -v**r vrmary'iwrt 5 So much rluU'icdf. so much prophecy, so much speculation . so much incohercncy , truths, lies and incomprehensibilities have been ihdi, expressed, printed , on the fubjecl of Peace ; its advantages, difiuhvinta ges, honors k:. tin,", .

Well said A —j\ . f Editor Friend. J ■ Fo: the FRIEND b UOlt FOR. u Train up a child in the way he should go.” 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.
