We have infinite pleafure in announcing the arri. val of General Williston at Fort Adams, and that be was immediately to fet out for Natchitoches, to take the command of the American troops ilationed at that important poll. We are happy to learn that Government have at length Abed politive orders to repel the\ aggreirons of oar enemies by force. We have, indeed,fuffered from them alma! beyond human endurances—their intrigues to diflutb the repofe of this country-s-their maintaining poffeflion of our country between the MilEfippi and the Perdido for upwards of two.years outragtoui conduet towards our cruisers on the banks of the Mobile ; theft, and a thoufand other kriOlitt and intuit., demand infant redrefs.

On Monday, the fish day of Odtober, on the left day of the elfin' for Niagara, he took the Opportunity, in an argo. vest from the bar, to ramie, in terms of verj grofs ioveftive, the memory of the late Governor, and the itharafters of fevers& of his mon re(peOable friends.

The follov ing is the fubtlance of the Speech : His MR jirry relies on the firmnefs and wifdom of Parliament. Hie/dap:Ty dire is the Papers to be laid before the two Heroics, refpeeling she Negotia tion ; and laments that his efforts to refkore Peace have been frutirated by the arrogance and unjullifia ble pretentious' of the enemy. The Speech then alludes to the prefent fituation of PrufGa, ariting from the perfidy of the French Government r--rejoices in the aria Alliance fuhfilling between the Roman and Englith Governments, which affords the only hope of the falvation of Europe. His MAJCITY direas the attention of the Houle of Commons to thofe indifpenfable exertions which are ireerffiry for the falvation of the Empire ; and which. however painful and diftreffing it must be, mat call upon them to add to the public burthens.

It (peaks of our (=ass, and (isles that our Coerces of profperity are yet midi minifhed. And his MIIIIITY concludes in relying upon his People-and his Parliament to meet the exi gencies of the times r and be has the fullell confidence in the wifdom of the deliberations of the Houle, and in the fpirit of the People, in prefetving the dignity and honour of the Empire.
