I My Lords i and Gentlemen^ T is widi deep Regret that I am again obliged to announce the Continuance of ICs Majefty's umented Indifpofition. It would have given Me creat Satis&dion to have been enabled to 'com. municate to you the Termination of the War between this Country and the Uni'3d States of America. Although this War originated b the moft unprovoked Aggreifion on the F^ of the Government of the United States, and was calculated to promote the Defigns of the common Enemy of Europe againft the Rights and Inde- pendence of all other Nations, I never have ceafed to entertain a Hncere Defire to bring it to a Condufion on juft and honourable Terms. I AM (till engaged in Negodations for this Purpofe ; the Succefs of them muft, however, depend on My Difpofition being met with correfponding Sentiments on the F^t of the Enemy. Tub Operations of His Majefty's Forces by Sea and Land in the Chefapeake in the courfe of the prefent Year have been attended with the moft brilliant and fuccefsful Refults. Thb Flotilla of the Enemy in the Patuxcnt has been deftroyed. The Ggnal Defeat of thdr Land Forces enabled a Detachment of His Majefty's Armv to takePofleflion of the Citj oiWaJhington ; and the Spirit of Enterpnze which has chara&erized all the Movements in that Quarter has produced on the Inhabitants a deep and feniible Impreffion of the Calamities of a War in which they have been fo wantonly involved. The Expedition direded from Halifax to the Northern Coaft of the United States has terminated in a Manner not leTs fatisfadlory. The fuccefsful Courfe of this Operation has been followed by the immediate Submiflion of the ex- tenfive and important DiftriA, Eaft ot the Penobfcot River, to His Majefty's Arms. I In A t>i>l3Y ( f ) In Averting to thefe Events, I am confident you will be dUpoTcd to ^nder full JulUcc to the Valour aad }3ilciplinc which have diflingiuflie^ His Mt^oRy's Land and Spa Forces ; and you will regret with Mc the fevore Lpfs the Country has fiillaiiicd by the Fall of tho gallaiU Commander of His Maj^fty's Troaps in the Advance upon li,)ltimorc. I .w.vrLuD MylllF of iho eailiaft Opportunity aflbrded by the State of Aflairs in Kuropc. to ilciach a confidprable Military Force to the River Saint l.iiiTcr.cc ; but its Arrival could not pnflibly take place till an advanced Period of the Campaign.
