RUSSIA intends to proceed to Odessa next month, and proposes to be at Warsaw in April.

ROBINSON is arpoiated Treasurer of the Navy. We believe that we may mention with some conf.- dmce that the most enlightened Members of the Town C•rancil of GI tsgow are decidcdly in favour of an anlendment in the Set of the Borough ; and that for a c.nisiderable time past th.. 7 have urged the pro. p.:-.Ay of publishing the Town's Accounts. If they in their public-spirtel irtentions, they w ill well deserve the gratitude of the inhabitants. The Coronation Mtone, removed from Scor ne, in Scotland. by Edward I. to Westminster Abbey, is called.

Toast and glee were giv,., l nicely with the most lively spirit for nevi ra! hours, and the day was spent in rapt,.:rous M' ~ k~ OPENING OF PARLIAMENT. The Houses of Parliament were .thin day opened by Commission. Every one must sympathise with those feelings which rendered it impossible for his Royal Highness the PRIM'? itgGENT to deliver in person an Address, in the leading topic of which his affections as . a Father and a Prince, were so deeply 'interested. • _ _ . . The ,Losse Crap:cm:An, attended by the other 'Commissioners, having taken his seat on the Wool iack, the Acting Usher of the Black Rod was sent to command the attendance of the Commons, who, to a considerable number, with the SPEAKER at their head, appeared at the Bar. The LORD CHANCELLOR having then recited the Commission for the ope.ling of the Session, proceeded to read the Speech, which was to the following effect : The Speech began by lamenting the continued and unabated illness of our afflicted SOVEREIGN, and then proceeded to advert to the heavy calamity which had bafglen his ROYAL HIGHNESS and the Nation, in the lamented death of his only and beloved child the Pt iacess CHARLOTTE. AtnidA his affliction, his ROYAL HionNtss had not been unmindful how much the melancholy event may affect the future interests and prospects of this Country. . His Itofm. Htoistarss next proceeded to congra tulate the House and the country upon the frigidly dispositions which continue to be evinced towards Great lit itain by our Continental Allies, and the pros pect there exists of a long continuance of peace and amity among the European Powers. Treaties have been conclu.!.ed with Spain and Por tugal for the further abolition of the Slave Trade, 'and his ROYAL Iliciltrixss desires the concurrence of Parliament to carry those:Treaties intdeffect. With the United States of America, his ROYAL litortsess was also glad to state, that the cour.t-y continued in the most pacific. relations. The Com missioners appointed tunkr the Treaty of Ghent, had come to an agreemer.t on certain of the points sub mitted to them, which agreement his ROYAL HIGH NESS had directed to bz laid before the House, and were proceeding with the points remaining for their determination, in a manner which promised a result equally satisfactory to all parties. The tranquillity of out Settlements in India had been again partially disturbed ; but, in consequence of the pry:: pt elertions of the Governor-General, peace had not only been fully restored, but the security of 'cur Government in the East been farther consolidated by new and beneficial arrangements with the Native Powers. _ Alluding next to the internal situation of the coun try, the Speech congratulated Parliament on the good effect produced by the measures adopted during last Session for counteracting the designs of the disaffect ed—upon the restoration of general tranquillity and confidence.—upon the improvement that has takeu place in every branch of our trade and manufactures, and the encreased employment that has been this afforded to the industrious poor. _ _ _ The different branches of the Revenue, his Royal 1 1 Highness was glad to state, 'had experienced an im provement corresponding to the general improvement in the agricultural and commercial condition of the country ; every practicable reduction had at the same time been made in the public expenditure ; other re di:ctior.s were also in progress ; and in the Estimate of the Supplies for the present year, which his High ness had ordered to be laid before the House, he had been sole'y gnided by a disposition to mitigate the public burtheas, as far as consistent with the dignity and security of the United Kingdoms. His ROYAL HIGHNESS concluded by recommend ing to the attention of the Howe the great want of Places of Worship of the 1* tablished Church, under the full conviction that the prosperity of the country must principally depend on the religious and moral habits of the People. The four tran'ports taker. up ,to accompany the expedition destii.ed to explore the Nerthern regions, .tre fitting out at Deptford with all possible dispatch, under the command or Captain Ross.
