This Afternoon the KING went in the ufual *ate to the Houfe of Peers, where, being feated on the Throne, and the Commons being fent for and come, his MAJESTY was pleand to open the bufinefs of the &It Seffion 'of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, with a molt gracious Speech, of which the folowing is a literal Copy: " My Lords and Gentlemen, " At a Crifis fo important to the Interelts of My People, I derive great Satisfa6lion from being enabled, for the firft Time, to avail Myfelf of the Advice and Afliftance of the Parliament of My United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. This memorable .tEra, diftinguifhed by the Accomplifhment of a Meafurt calculated to aug ment and confolidate the Strength and Refources of the Empire, and to cement more clofely the Interefls and Affedions of My Subjeds, will, I trufl, be equally marked by that Vigor, Energy, and Firmnefs, which the Circumflances of our prefent Situation peculiarly require. , 6 The unfortunate Courfe of Events on the Continent, and the Confequences which muff be' expeded to refult from it, cannot fail to be Mat- ter of Anxiety and Concern to all who have a juft Feeling for the Security and Independence of Europe. _ _ ~ Your Aflonifhment as well as your regret inuft be excited by the Conduel of thofe Powers whore Attention, at fuch a Period, appears to be more engaged in Endeavours to weaken the Naval Force of the Britifh Empire, which has hitherto oppofed fo powerful an Obftacle to the inordinate Ambition of France, than in Concerting the Means of mutual Defence againft their common and in. creating Danger. " The Reprefentations which I dire led to be made to the Court of Peteriburgh, in confequence of the Outrages committed again[ the Ships, Pro perty, and Perfons of My Subjelts, have been treated with the utmoft Difrefpeet ; and the Pro. ceedings of which I complained have been ag gravated by fubfequent Ads of Injuftice and Violence, " Under there Circumnances a Convention has been concluded by that Court with thole of Co. penhagen and Stockholm, the Object of which, as avowed by One of the contrafling Parties, is to renew their former Engagements for eflablithing by Force a new Code of Maritime Law, inconfif tent with the Rights and hoftile to the Interefts of this Country. " In this fituation, I could not hefitate as to the conduit which it became Me to purfue. I have taken the earlieft meafures to repel the ag greffions of this hoftile Confederacy, and to fupport thofe principles which are effential to the mainte nance of our Naval Strength, and which are grounded on the Syftem of Public Law fo long eftablifhed and recognized in Europe. " I have, at the fame Time, given fuck Affur ances, as manifen My Difpofition to renew My ancient Relations with thole Powers, whenever it can be done continently with the Honour of My Crown, and with a juft Regard to the Safety of My Subjetls. You will, lam perfuaded, omit no thing on your Part, that can afford Me the molt vigorous and cite/Nal Support in My firm Deter. rnination to maintain to the ntmoft, againft every Attack, the Naval Rights and the Interefts of My Empire, " Gentlemet of the Houle of Commis, " I have direfted the ellimates for the feveral Branches of the Publick Service to be laid before you : Deeply as I lament the continued Ne ceffity of adding to the Burdens of My People, lam perfuaded you will feel with Me the Im portance of providing effeCtual Means for thole Eurtions which are indifpenfably requifite for the Honour and Security of the Country. " Lord:, and Gattkooro, " I am confident that your Deliberations will be uniformly direfted to the great Objea of im proving the Benefits of that happy Union, which, by the Bleffing of PROVIDENCE, has now been ef fated , and of promoting, to the utmoft, the Profperity of every Part of My Dominions. " You will, T doubt not, refume the Enquiries which were fo diligently profecutcd in the lafl SelLort of Parliament, as to the bet Means of re lieving My Subjeels from the Preffure of the prefent high Price of Provifions ; and of prevent og, as far as it can be done by human Forefight, the Recu:rtnce of funilar Difficultle!. In theft. Endeavours, and in every Meafurc that can con tribute to the Happinefs of My People, the great End of all My Willies, you may be Allred of M y cordial Concurrences. " You may rely on My availing M)felf of the earlieft Opportunity which !hall afford a Profpea of terminating the prefent Conteft, on Grounds confiftent with Our Security and Honour, and with the Maintenance of thole effentia,l Rights on which Our Naval Strength mull always principally depend. .g It will afford me the true ft and moll heartfelt Satisfaflion, whenever the Difpofition of our Ene mies (hall enable Me thus to reflore to the Subje&s of My United Kingdom the Bleffings of Peace, and thereby confirm and augment thofc Advantages which refult from our internal Situation, and which, even under all the Difficulties of War, have carried to fo great an Extent the Agriculture, ManufaElures, Commerce, and Revenue of the Country." We Rated on Saturday a very prevailing report that a difference had taken place in the Cabinet, and that fome changes in cdurfe were expeeted to take place in Adminihration. It is confirmed that all is not harmony in that quarter, but feveral of the particulars that were rumoured have not yet taken place—or at any rate, arrangements are not yet in fufficient for wardnefs for announcing any thing officially to the Public. Previous to the final arrangement of the topics of his MAJESTY'S Speech, it was propofed in the Cabinet that his MAJESTY fhould recommend to the attention of Parliament, the fituation of the Catholics in Ireland, with a view to remove the difabilities under which they labour. At the fame time it appeared fair and proper, that while an in dulgence of this nature was extended to one let of religious men in the United Kingdoms, fome con fideration fhould be given to another let, long under difabilities by the Tea and Corporation Ads , and who have always been the Ready friends of the Houle of Hanover. With refpeet to the frith Ca tholics, it was Paid that the meafure was one not merely of juaiee, but of neceffity. When the Union was firh propofed, the Catholics were flattered, that an United Parliament might grant them favours which a local Parliament could not be fup . poled inclined, either from conflitm ion or feeling, to bellow. Nay more, perfons, high in office, the Marquis CORNWALLIS and Lord CASTELREAGH, had athually given them affurances that the Go vernment would lend every fupport to their claims in the United Parliament. The matter being fubmitted to deliberation here, a project, we have heard, was Cent over to the excellent perfon who is Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, but it was fo modified and frittered away, that tly whole efrence was deflroyed. That noble perfon is faid to have declared that he could not prefent to the Catholics fuch a plan as efficient to the purpofes to which the government in Ireland was pledged ; and that he conceived a great deal more to be neceflary, in order to fulfil the promife given, and to fecure the tranquillity of the country, This he is laid to have put in Rrong terms, both in regard to himfelf, as pledged; and the confequences to the Public, if that pledge was not held facred. Refpelting the repeal of the Teft and Corpora tion Ads, Rill greater objetßions had been railed. Notwithftanding all the Cervices of the difrenters to the liberties of this country, eftablifhed in the go vernment of the Houfe of Hanover, their pretcn lions were not received with the favour that might have been expected. I -- Mr. Pirr, it is Paid, on both points ftrenttonfly contended for a liberal policy, as recommended by every confideration ofjullice, expediency,and good faith. He was certainly OUTVOTED in the Coun cil when the queflion was 6rlt agitated. At length, however, his opinion acquired the afcen dant, and the meafure was agreed to be brought fpeedily before Parliament, but not to be alluded to in his MA D LTY'S Speech. Thus, for the prefent, ibe fire u Aimed over. Thofe who were in the minority in the Cabinet prefer holding their fituations to any little qualms 1 about etiquette ; and for a fhort time they will all be honourable friends—in Parliament. The refignation of Mr. PITT was by fome im puted to a difagreement with the Dulti of YORK. It has very generally and publicly been reported, indeed for a fortnight pall, that his Royal High nefs and Mr. PITT had differed about a queflion relative to military arrangements and plans ; but it never was fuppofed that the difagreement would lead to any change in the men at the head of af fairs. It was a difference about a particular objell, not about general policy. By others the caufe of refignation was afcribed to a difference between the Minifler and certain bith Perfortagee, about the propriety of giving up Hanover to the Klee; of PRIMIA, as a bonus to fecure his friendfhip, or at any rate his neutrality, pendirg the Northern dilpute. however, had nothing to du ulth inc burnicfi of nib!: evening. Ikw the report of Mr. P,i T'S refignation arofv is explained by a circiimflaisce which many people may think mere golfiping. On Friday evening (the rumours of differences in the Cabinet being previ. vioufly abroad) his MAJESTY was . engaged longer than uffial at a meeting of the Privy Council.— Her MAJ ES rY had a favourite and fort of do meffic party of Nobility to cards. His MA JESTY fent %void that lie could not come being engaged at Council, and defiring that the party, of which he generally made one, thould fit down without him. From this it was con jeftured, that there mull be fomething extraordi nary in the cafe, for his MAJESTY had never been known to flay at Council thus, but the night pre vious to the ditfolution of the Marquis of ROCIC ING HAM'S Adminiftration. The former report be ing added to this coincidence, it was immediately conjeflured that Mr. PITT mull be out of office. The Flory got air, we fuppofe, as all tlories do, from my Lord down to the valet-de-chambre, and then from the valet up to my Lord, till the whole town had it. Every body was furprifcd, and, what mun furprife the Minifler, every body was Oast. We have never in the whole courfe of the war feen fuch enthufiaffic joy pervade the public mind on the announcement of a vietory, as was difplaycd on Saturday by the rumour of the Minifier's dif. mail. It may be fome confolation to thofe who were thus harry in their demonftrations of latisfac• tion, that Mr. PITT does not pail's the power of ANTIOCHUS, to puriith them for their premature happinefs. Every one knows that the Jews, on , the death of ANTIOCHUS EP 11. HAN ES being re ported among them, gave look to every expref fion of exultation at the event. It was, how ever, a falfe rumour, and to punith them, the tyrant laid their country wane. This morning we received French Papers one day later than thofe received on Saturday, which contain fome further accounts of the operations of the French army in Italy, and an official Copy of the Armitlice concluded at Trevifo on the 16th ult. Saturday morning the Kiac, Q U EEN, and PRINCESSES, with their utlial efcort, took an airing round Putney, and Clapham, and returned home by Weaminlier-bridge. Yefterday the ROYAL FAMILY heard prayers read to them at the Qeen's-houfe, by the Rcv. Dr. VINCENT. Her Royal Higlinefs the Princefs CHARLOTTE of WALES, yeilerday, accompanied by the Coun ters of ELGIN, vilited their MAJESTIES at the Queen's -haute. Vifcount SIDNEY IS appointed one of the Lords of his MAJESTY'S Bedchamber, in the room of the late Earl of Dk aucH. His Grace the ARCHBISHOP Of CANTERBURY gave a 'grand dinner on Satui Jay at his Palace at Lambeth. The Ler4D CHANCELLOR'S Levies commenced on Saturday ; his Lord!hip gave an entertain ment to the leading Members of Adminiliration. The SPEAKER of the Houle of Commons, on Saturday, had a long interview with his NIA.; E4TY CE the Q!!een's-houfe. The Prince of WALKS was fo much hatter on Saturday, that he was out on horfeback in the forenoon, and at the Opera in the evening. The Prince was alfo yefierday afternoon on horfeback in Hyde Park, which was full of fafhionable company. The Duke of NOR rout, yeflerday, gave a grand dinner at his houfe in St. James's-fquare, to Sir WILLIAM and Lady HAMILTON, tha Dukc of QIEENSBERRY, and feveral perfons of diftinelion. There was a very brilliant Concert in the evening, which afforded a delicious treat to numerous Amateurs that his Grace had affembled on the occafion. Madam BANTI, VIGANON I, ROV ,MNO, &c. affilled ; and his Royal Highnels the PRINCE of WALES honoured the affembly with his pre• fence. _ _ _ _ The Duchefs of GORDON returned to her houfe in Piccadilly yefterday from Bath. The arrangement mentioned in our Paper flime days fince, refpeeting the Invalids doing garrifon duty, is poftponed for the prefent. The orders were iftlied at Chelfea College, but have fince been countermanded. ..... At the clofc of the Poll on Wednefday, for the county of Wicklow, the numbers flood this :—For GEORGE Possoway, Efq. 647—For Lord PROBY, boo—Majority for Mr. Pom SON BV, 47. The fecond battalion of the 52d regiment on Wednefday and Thurfday arrived at Canterbury on their route to Afhford. Philadelphia papers to the 29th of December, and New York papers to the 3111, have been re ceived in town ; by which it appears that Mr. BURR and Mr. JEFFERSON have each an equal number of mite, and it confequently devolves on the Houle or Reprefentati; cc of the United States to determine which of them (hall be Prefident and which to be Vice Prcfident. The laR accounts from Spain Rate, that al though the epidemic diflemper was confiderably diminilhed in Andaltifia, the Spanifh Government had increafed the cordon, to prevent the commu nication between that defolated Province and thole next to it. In confequence of the critical (fate of affairs be tween this country and the Northern Powers, the Infurers at Amilerdam have totally fufpended their operations, and fubfcribe no policies to any veffels whatever. _ _ - - The Dutch are making the greatefl efforts in all their ports to equip a fleet, and all the coall has bet n put in a itAtc of defence, thould any attempt to land be made. _.~:..». - 7 ndunt:,lL INTELLIGENCL.
