Excerpt from The Edinburgh Annual Register, Vol. 6: For 1813

The new parliament met on the 24th of November, 1812. After the usual formalities had been gone through, the Prince Regent, on the 30th of the same month, pronounced from the throne a speech which embraced a comprehensive view of the great events of the year.

His royal highness stated, that he had been induced to take the earliest opportunity of meeting his parliament after the late elections; and he was persuaded they would cordially participate in the satisfaction, which he derived from the improvement of the state of public affairs during the course of the year. That the valour displayed by his majesty's forces, and those of his allies, in the peninsula, on so many occasions during the last campaign, and the consummate skill with which the operations had been conducted by general the Marquis of Wellington, had led to consequences of the utmost importance to the common cause. By transferring the war into the interior of Spain, and by the glorious and ever-memorable victory obtained at Salamanca, he had compelled the enemy to raise the siege of Cadiz; and the southern provinces of the kingdom had been thus delivered from the armies of France.
