ape, which Were Still subjected to•thi same tyranny and opprestiorti the same spirit would be manifested which had prOduced so happy a result in the North of Germany. He - hoped that the same spirit would soon be manifested in the territories of Holland, pus . ancient ally: He looked to nothing with more satis. -faction than the recent defalCation in the number of the enemy's armies, Alter a warfare of twentyone' years, he Misted that the great success which had now been' obtained, would not be defeated by any artful negociAtion which would direct the . Uiews of the Powers, now so happily united, to separate in terests. He trusted that those Powers would con- Alone, 'as they now are, united together ; and that they would he able, by their combined efforts, to re store that balance of power iii Europe, which had latterly been considered as one of the illusions of our • ancestors. The question was then put upon the Address,which was agreed to nem. con: MARQUIS OF WELLINGTON. Lord CASTLEREAGH gave notice, that on _Monday he would move the Thanks of tile House to the Marquis of Wellington, and the gallant Army under his command, for their recent service►. NOTICES. Mr. BANKS gave notice, that on the same day he would move for leave to bring in a Bill to regu late the elections at Hellstone ; and to secure the purity of elections generally. He should also move for leave to bring in a Bill to abolish sinecure offices. THE SPEAKER'S SPEECH. Lord MQRPETH rose to give notice, that k was his intention, shortly after the Christmas recess, to call the attention of tlie House to certain passages in the Speech of the Speaker, delivered at the close of the last Session of Parliament. Lord CASTLEREAGI-1—" If the distinguished 'character who tilled their Chair was thought by any one to have transgressed his duty, the time named by the Noble Lord was rather a distant period for bring ing the subject forward." Lord MOKYETH had flied's:in the time he had mentioned, from the consideration that many Mem bers were at present unavoidably absent, and this was si question which, of all others, ought to be discussed in a full House. Mr. BATHURST was proceeding to offer a few words on the subject of the Noble Lord's notice ; when Mr. TIEDNEY spoke to • order, and reminded the Speaker there was no question before the House. Mr. BATHURST was aware there was no ques , ton before the House, but wished to say a few.words on ate notice given. ' Mr. TIERNEYagain spoke to order.—The Noble 'Lord had given a notice, which might be bad or good, but on' this they were not at present called upon to de cide. He had given notice of his intention to bring it forward atter the Christmas recess, and was his right to do this to be questioned'? In giving this no tice he had complied with the established forms of the House, and the questions which he proposed to raise were not now to be discussed. Lord MORPETH rose to state what were his feelings on the present occasion. Mr. BATHURST hoped, if he might not be al lowed to speak* on the subject of the Noble Lord's notice, that he himself would not be allowed to go into it. • Lord' MORPETH expressed himself very ready to acquiesce in the suggestilln of the . Right Honour.- able Gentleman. , The SPEAKER directed the notice to be entered, - and the House adjourned. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1813. GUN-POWDER PLOT—Holiday at the Bank.—At one o'clock the Park and Towtr guns were firtd. Althouzh a c10..e holiday at * the Batik and Stock Exchange, a great deal of binaness has heed done. Omnium, which Opened at 8f„ experienced a depression of f, and at twelve *Jock was }d ol BB at 7i. Never did Great Britain; in her highest and most palmy state of grandeur, occupy a prouder or more unassailable eminence among the nations around her than that which is so eloquently described in our re port of the Speeches in Parliament last night. It is in vain that we search the annals of Europe for prece dents—our present situation has had no parallel. la whatever direction we turn our eyes, from the ' Continent of the New, to that of the Old World, our Arms, our Councils, our Tactics have been successful: and to what influence, secret or avowed, has Europe been indebted for the ultimate and final success of the 1 1 glorious struggle ? . Happily this is a question of easy solution. In urging the people of this .proud Empire to fresh sacrifices for the good of mankind, the Arar was never represented, from the British Throne, as a scramble for the right to introduce Co lonial Produce into the Continent—it was newer de signated as a " Sugar and Coffee War" by any.person but by the degraded wretch, whom miscreants, of congenial sentiments, have elevated to the rank of an Emperor I It was bis sanguinary and ferocious dis positions :done, which suggested the shedding of the blood of millions, for the sake of a few thousand togsheasls of sugar, and bags of cilee. His antagonists, with Great Britain at their head, came into the held against him upon different prin. , . tiples. Their Manifestoes—their Proclamations-- Ark Decrees, assumed as their Text the goeat Com manjment of_the CallATOß—that the blood of man should. never be shed but to avenge -the blcodyf man ..--and their banners bore no other inscription. The blond which flowed in consequence was shed for the dearest rights of mankind—it was shed for out has, our csuntry,. our frit nds, and oar. kind— and most elegantly was it expressed by one of the Speakers in the House of CoMMons last night, that tl'e best epitaph for thnse . who have fallen would lite-- obedienCe to the L a ws and. Institutes of tlycir Country." • • ,Cia the etbeuthemt, speceasthe *plunder; eon *gent spoil, future, long-adjourned, uncerkin booty, pillage which must enrich a late posterity ; cir rather, which .can never reach posterity at all--were the boons held out by BONAPARTE to those who followed his fortunes. The war, so long as it was attended by the rewards and incitements peculiar to mercenaries, was popular in France. The plunder of Italy, Germany, Spain, and Portugal, fed for a time the cupidity of the hordes of assassins which be drew around him : the worst passions of mankind merged into the imposing appellation of military glory.=—His ranks were then filled with volunteers. For some years past, his sol diers have been slaves ; and when they were urged to deeds of desperation, the Tyrant, as on the Banks of the Moskwa last year, was compelled to point to the issue of double rations amid the distant spires of Mos ciw, as the only fruits of v!ctory he could promise.. - The sun of their oppressor is now set, and the bleeding nations are about to enjoy the dawn of an auspicious day ! Next to the unanimity which every where prevails on this glorious occasion, our congratulations ought to flow on account of the truly magnanimous spirit of moderation in which the Speech of the Patna REGENT alludes to the unfortunate country over which i BONAPARTE presides. Nothing, in our humble esti mation, can more effectually strip BQNAPARTR of the list remnant of popularity even among the canailk, who more immediately owe their fortunes to him, than this tone of moderation. As is well expressed by a con temporary writer, "it is an assurance hell out to tne people of that country, that the extravagance of tri umph does not. make us forget the only purpose for which we engaged in the contest, that of securing the . independence 'of States against unjust aggression— and that we desire not merely to secure the rights of our friends, but the rights of our enemies. Such a sentiment must make an impression on the under standings of the people of France—and will do more to prevent the success of fresh delusions than could be I derived from hostility, however extensive." TILE PRINCE REGENT'S OPENING OF PARLIAMENT. —Yesterday being the day appointed for the com mencement of the Session of Parliament, his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT went in state and opened the same by a Speech from the Throne. The Procession was conducted with a considerable degree of splendour and dignity. The streets from the Horse Guards to the House of Peers in Old Palace-yard Were covered with gravel early in the morning. At ten o'clock a Guard of Honour, with a full band, marched to the entrance. of the Parlia. ment House. About the same time the Lord High Chamberlain of England (Lord Givrnin), Mt. QUARBIE) the Deputy Usher of the Black Rod, in the absence of Sir THOMAS TIIRWHITT, an Usher of the Yeomanry of the Guard, and nine Yeome.l, attended at the House of Peers, and examined the cellars, and under the premises i as is customary at the mt , e , ,ing of every Session of Parliament, and found nothing of any dangerous tendency. The PRINCE had appointed half-past one o'clock to leave the Palace; he kept his time to a minute; he arrived a short-time before that hour in his private carriage from Carlton House, and entered the tem porary entrance by the garden made after the fire.— His Royal Highness was received in the old Levee Room by the Chancellor, the Lord Steward, the Treasurer, the Master of the Horse, the Captain of the Yeomen of the Guard, the Lord and Grooms in . Waiting, the Gold Stick, the Equerry, the State Page, the Page of Honour, and other attendants.— Colonel BRAND, the Field Officer in Waiting, had a conference wit h his Royal Highness, and laid before him the state of the guard of the day, and took the military pass word. Colonel Reams, the Colonel of the Guard, also took the pass word from his Royal Highness, and then retired to receive the Palace in the Palace Yard. His Royal Highness entered the state coach ex actly at half past one o'clock, accompanied by the *Duke of MONTIIOSE and Lord Bosrou, the Lord in Waiting. His Royal Highness was saluted by die full band, playing :6 GOD save the King:' he was dressed in regimentals, and appeared in most excellent health and spirits. ' The procession began to move with a slow pace, in the following order: Three of the Life Guards. The Carriage and six bays, containing the Gentlemen of the • Quarterly Waiters, and Eton in Waiting. The second Carriage and six blacks, with Colonel CONGRLVI, the Equerry; General LubILLY, the Groom; Master Tinto a; the Page of Honour in Waiting, dte. The Master of the Horse's Chariot and six blacks, in which were Earl HARRINGTON, the Gold Stick, and Sir WiLLIAII KZ MEL, the Ulm Groom in Waiting. Sixteen of the Life Guards. Twelve Footmen, in state liveries. Forty Yeomen of the Guard. - - - • The State Carriage, with four of Me Yeomen of the Guard, and four Footmen, on each side. A numerous party of the Life Guards closed the Proce)hion. The Procession proceeded through the centre Mall in St. James's Park, and which was kept clear, and regulated by a detachment of the Royal Horse Guards. The PRINCE was received at the Horse Guards by a dismounted party of the Life Guards. *As soon as the Procession appeared in New Palace. yard, the bells of St. Margaret's Church struck up a full peal. At twenty minutes past two o'clock a Royal salute from the Lambeth shore announced his Royal High ness's leaving the House and entering his carriage.— , In consequence of the heat experienced by the PRINCE in wearing his robes in the House, to guard against taking cold on his return, he wore over his regimen. tals a dark-coloured military great coat, lined with fur, ornamented with gold lace and frogs. The procession returned to the Palace at a quarter before three, anal soon after the Prima left the Palace in his private carriage, for Carlton House. Every thing was conducted with the greatest order and decorum. The general illumination, which was expected to take place last night, was postponed, and bills were posted to notify that the Public Offices will be illu. aiinated this night and toquorum. ' GERMAN BULLETIN. GREAT VICTORY OF THE ALLIED ARMIES. V*ltass, 0CT.24, 1813. 14 This day, October ill., the Imperial Russian Colonel Baron Von Herbart arrived here, 41 courier from Leipsic, at which plake the head•gnarters of the two Emperors, the King of Prussia v this Crown Prince of Sweden, Generals Blucher and Bennigsen, were on the 19th, in Consequence of the great victory obtain. ed by the Allied Armies over the Emperor Napoleon, on the same day. " Already on .he 16th the army of General J;thiches was engaged, at Groshugel, with the French corps d'armee, which was posted opposite to it. The enemy was overthrown, with the loss of fertyreight cannons takeri. u s The 17th of October passed without anylparti• cular fighting. The Emperor Napoleon had ails centrated his forces behind Leipsic. The Allied Ar ,mies marched onward, by the roads of Halle, Dres den, and Altenburg, to a decisive engagement. " On the 18th of October, with the rising sun, the Empeior Napoleon debouched out of Leipsic, and formed in columns for attack. The battle lasted the whole day, with indescribable obstinacy. Towards evening, the French were driven towards Leipsic. grcj , portion of them garrisoned Leipsic. " On the 19th of October, at day-break, the King of• Saxony (who was with the Emperor Napoleon) sent a flag of truce to the Emperor of Russia, with .e request that he would spare the town ; but the Em peror of Russia, viewing the flag of truce as the usual feint of the Emperor Napoleon to gain time, ordered an immediate assault. The town was fortified wit') 96 cannon, and, in defiance of all opposition, was car ried, and the enemy forced to seek safety in flight.— The result of this most memorable of all victories was, on the evening of the 20th of October, " Prisoners :—the King of Saxony ; the Marshals Marmont and Macdonald; Generals Regnicr, Son. ham, Bertrand, Lauriston, Dombrowski, and ten other Generals; General Prince Poni a towsk dr owned ; General Grenier, dead; Marshal Ney, wounded; Marshal A ugereau (according to prisoners' account), dead ; 300 Staff-officers prisoners ; 25,000 killed and wounded ; 35,000 taken ; 25,000 sick in the hospitals, taken ; 200 cannons, and $OO powder-waggons. The whole of the Saxons went over to• the Allies. A bri • gade of &was, already io the battle of the 18. h, took part against the French. The French are retreating in disorder by the roads of Merseburg and Weissen fels ; a considerable body of. cavalry pursues them, and the Allied Army moves after them unremittingly The Courier was an eye-witness of the battle, and its result. We reckon that Napoleon . saved only from .50 to 60,000 men, The horrors of defeat accompany them. Two hundred and fifty thousand men, with the Emperors and King at their head, pursue the flying army of the enemy.. The Bavarian army had much earlier taken the direction of Gotha, to cut off the retreat of the French." We have received Gazettes published tinder the Russian auspices, both from Bremen and Verden, to the date of the 27th ult. These Papers bring gence from the neighbourhood of Leipsic one' day „later than the date of the dispatches, and state, that Count Munn, with the Bavarian army under his orders, was in the immediate neighbourhood of the line of the Saale, which is the only channel of retreat that had been left open to BONAPARTE. It is also stated that NEY was killed, AormazAu wounded, MACDONALD and MARMONT MR& prisoners. These statements, however, are not borne out by the dis patches.—lt is Mentioned, that the Allies lost no time atter the baffle in collecting their strength, tor the effectual pursuit of the enemy; that be had in conse quence an overwhelming force at his heels, and that the utter annihilation of his army was confidently expected. • It is reported this morning, that Government sent an express off last night to Deal, for all the ships of war to sail without delay for the Dutch coast, as it was expected the fleet at Flushing would Taut to sea. An appeal, we understand, is to be immediately made to the public spirit of the Militia of the United Kingdom. The object of it will be to induce a large proportion of that valuable branch of the national force to voluntet r for foreign service, by companies of from 80 to 100 men each ; either for the purpose of becoming regularsond of reinforcing the weakened battalions in the army under the command of the Marquis of WELLINGTON ; or, retaining the denomi nation of militiamen, to form provisional battalions L I to serve for a limited period, under the command of IMilitia Officers. Mr. SADLER made his twenty-eighth aerial ascen sion from Nottingham on Monday last, at 40 minutes past two o'clock, amidst the shouts of an incalculable number of spectators. The atmosphere favoured the splendid scene—the sky being remarkably clear, the wind blowing a gentle breeze from the west. Mr. SADLER was seen waving his flag at a very high alti tude, and the balloon was visible to the naked eye 37 minutes after the ascension,, when it entered a thick body of distant clouds, and became entirely obscured. The aeronaut descended at Petworth, a village about three miles to the left of Stamford, after snaking a voyage of 44 miles in 59 minutes, without experien cing the least obstruction at the time of his ascension, or sustaining any injury or difficulty in his decent.
