The Chancellor of the Exchequerpresented the following Message 1263 from his royal highness the Prince Regent:
"George P. R.
"The Prince Regent, in the name and on the behalf of his Majesty, thinks proper to inform the House of Commons, that the assistance which his Majesty has been enabled to give to the Portuguese government, has happily furnished the means of improving the military establishments of that country, and of rendering conspicuous the valour and discipline of the Portuguese armies, and has thereby contributed most essentially to the successful deliverance and defence of the kingdom of Portugal against the enemy.
"The Prince trusts that the House of Commons will enable him to continue, in the present year, the same support to Portugal which was afforded in the last, and from which such important advantages to the cause of the allies have already been derived. G. P. R."
