The congress is the Congress of Prague, which was held during the Armistice of Pläswitz (4 June-12 August 1813)--British Museum catalogue, loc. cit. The places or nations harrassing John Bull include Ireland, France, Sweden, West Indies, East Indies, and the USA
John Bull's right arm, inscribed "Ireland", is hacked with an axe inscribed "Catholic Bill" by an Irish peasant wearing a rosary. His left leg, inscribed "East Indies", is being tugged. His tongue is hooked and pulled by Bernadotte. His body, pierced by a devil, disgorges gold coin. A muzzled bull-dog inscribed "Navy" barks at an American boat which fires a cannon
