§ The Speaker reported to the House, that the House attended his royal highness the Prince Regent yesterday with their Address; to which his Royal Highness was pleased to give this most gracious Answer:
§ "Gentlemen;
§ "I thank you for this loyal Address. Your warm and affectionate expressions respecting his Majesty are peculiarly grateful to my feelings.
§ "It affords me the utmost satisfaction to find that you concur with me in the representation I have laid before you respecting the state of the contest in which we are engaged, and that you cordially rejoice with me in the improved prospects which have resulted to this country and to Europe, as well from the brilliant achievements of his Majesty's forces and those of his allies in the peninsula as from the heroic exertions of Russia in the north.
§ "From your determination to give a firm and generous support to the great cause in which his Majesty and his allies are engaged, I derive a confident hope that all the efforts of our enemies will be finally frustrated, and the security of the British dominions established by a solid and honourable peace."
