ABBOTT was then conducted to the Chair by the Mover fed Seconder, Sir John Nichol' and Mr. Cartwright, whence he yoke as follows: lc I have again to express the deep sense renter tain of the honour you have this day conferred on me, i n re-electing me once more to fill the important sta tion of your Speaker, and of the firm reliance I re pose on you for the same support I have ever expe rienced : so long as this is continued to me, I shall f a ithfully discharge the duties incumbent upon me to p e rform. I beg to repeat my thanks for your distin guished favours, and to assure the House, that from this moment I am devoted to its service."—(Hear, how.) Lord CASTLEREAGH spoke to the following e ff ect I apprehend that till his Royal Highness the Prince Regent's intentions in calling this Parlia ment together be made known, it will be the pleasure o f t he House to adjourn from day to day, withcut entering upon any business. I therefore rise to offer a motion to that effect. But previous to coming to this conclusion, I trust I may be permitted the satis faction of congratulating the House on seeing that seat again occupied by the Right Hon. Gentleman, whose conduct in it before had secured to him uni versal respect and admiration.—(Hear, hear. )_We ' must , a s Members of this House, feel it as a matter o f great congratulation to each other, to have an in- I aividual returned to Parliament whom we can elect to that situation, in which he has already- so pre. eminently distinguished himself, to his own honour, I and to the benefit of the House and of the country. (Hear, hear.) --It is a matter of congratulation that the first step we have taken is likely to redound to the public advantage, and to the general good, as well as to the particular interest of this assembly.— (Hear, hear.)— Marked as this election has been by an universal expression of sentiment that cannot be doubted, you, Sir, must feel that you possess, its the Unbounded confidence of this House, the means and authority necessary to enable you to discharge with dignity and effect tlut important duties placed in rotor hands. Under these circumstances, I will not detain the House longer by dilating on the topics so ably and fully opened by the Right Hon. Mover, but conclude by proposing that this House do now adjourn."—Adjourned till to-morrow. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2t.

For upwards of a fortnight there had been no direct communication made through the medium of the Paris Journals, respecting the French army in Russia. A general belief, however, was attempted tb be inspired by persons in office, that the army in the Notth had gained the borders of Poland in per fect safety, where it had found abundance of provi. lions and good winter quarters. It was also indus , i triously given out, that a renewed and more compre hensive campaign was to commence in spring, and iv this purpose immense quantities of equipments fer the army were daily sent off from Paris towards Poland. Among these were numerous newly in vented portable mills for grinding corn, and a large supply of warm clothing for the troops. These symptoms of a continuance of the war, are said to have filled the minds of the inhabitants with addi tional gloom and dissatisfaction—the reverses of the French army in Russia were already generally sus pected, and the silence of the public journals was in terpreted into a confirmation. No w Do :• es be OS is i E Ig !a. of as sea au, ich That Bonarinrx will again return to the invasion of bola, if his person escapes the keen lances and herder vengeance of the Cossacks, no person who has teamed his restless and turbulent disposition can doubt; but is our predictions with respect to his Meat campaign, bold and sanguine as they were, hrationbt, considered by many of our Readers, have 1 4111 Vlore than fulfilled, we may the more freely an- , Selline the issue of any future attempt upon Russia. Willave, therefore,' no hesitation in saying, that the more numerous the army, and the further it advances heo Russia, the greater will be the prospects of its vvarthrow. Again, will the Russian peasants be re lay, ed, their rude habitations destroyed ; and again, *ill regions where fertility used to reigtn be converted into a wilderness of universal desolation. As the in vaders advance, the Russian bayonets "glittering in the Sun of Austerlitz" will recede only to take a surer Cm- Clouds of Cossacks incessantly hovering on their flank s will swarm into the hostile Camp, by night and by day, and disturb even the scanty repose which Itch a dreary service can afford. Sterility, famine, and desolation, will once more mark the face of na tore around and behind them. The French soldiers have experienced all these mi. Series already: BONAPARTE knows that they feel them ; " albeit unused to the melting mood," he can mt feel them himself ! He will perbapi calculate von the hazard of the undertaking; but it will be the calenlation of the cold-bloodeal usurer, when ex acting the penaky of his bond. Russia, however, 6s taken a most decided stand against his monstrous littem of exclusive dominion; and the policy of her bo ed- Pt* out orY up; Imeasnres of resistance art replete with trtie*Tsdorn. Conscious of her own strength, she leaves to her heartless aid ignoble enemy the choice of the wea pons with which he shall assail her. She thus secures for herself the incalculable advantage of not appear- ing to mankind to be the aggressor, but of appealing to them with a resistless voice for their prayers and co-operation, while she calls upon her population to arm in defence of their inheritance, and tb execute yen- geance upon the heads of those who are violating the sacred engagements of Tilsit and Erfurth. In this -aWful and portentous struggle, it is a con solation to suffering humanity to find that the mag nanimity of the Sovereign of the Russias has kept pace with the inflexible and virtuous loyalty of his people. From the instant of his army breaking up from the entrenched camp at Drissa, he threw him self into the arms of his subjects, and, as it the far- famed fable of Animus had been invented to point out the resources on which, in perilous times, a great and good Monarch ought to rely—as often as their heroic Sovereign was struck to the ground by his enemy, the Russians armed him with fresh energies for the combat. . Let France then again buckle on her armour— Russia, undismayed, will await—nay, she fearlessly invites a repetition of her blows. Next to Priovi- DENCE, she may now rely on the tried heroism of her armies, and on the unfettered energies of her people, aided by the supplications or the suffering millions, whose Champion she now is. As her struggle is Against universal tyranny, so will her success be the deliverance of all. Her safety will be the best pro- tection, and her independence the best relief and se. l curity of the oppressed. Her cause is now that of freedom ; and every soil trod by the foot of a free man, ought to contribute the surplus of its harvests to her resources. Her contest is that of humanity— and wherever man draws the breath of life, a portion of that breath ought to be expended in imploring blessings on her arms. _ _ _ It is with Russia alone, we fear, that the fallen na tions of Europe can ever hope to rise. The over grown Colossus from whose deadly gripe Europe has long vainly striven to rescue herself can only on its own element be crushed. The thunder of England has only frightened its shadow from the ocean, but the huge mass of ingredients from which the phan tom emanated, still remains the same. Some distant s?arks have been intercepted, but the 'thin furnace in which the desolation of the Peninsula and the con flagration of Moscow was engendered, is still in full activity. The monster's limbs have been shattered it is true, by his recent disasters, but his enormous body is still animated to new by fresh tor. rents of human blood, To assault his extremities is perhaps only to provoke his ram and fury, but if wt . encounter him heart to heart in all his foul dimensions Iwe may yet destroy him. Another invasion of Rus- ; sia will bring our presentiments to the test. We have not yet, however, lost all confidence in PLATUFI and his Cossacks, nor all hopes from the effect of his Pro clamation—The Hero who marries his Daughter, ought to hate the Indies for her dowry ! We present our Readers with the following extracts from the French Papers above alluded to. Our occu pation of Sicily is still the subject of vituperation w•;t11 ' the Editor of the Moniteur. We have also extracted ! an article from Germany of a Commercial nature, to prove the great demand for goods, which are, no Idoubt of English oriing, notwithstanding all the fu rious Decrees of the French Emperor. " PARIS, NOVEMBER 13. “ His Excellency the Minister at War has ordered from M. Charles Albert, Mechanician, Rue du Fau bourg, St. Denis, - 500 of his portable corn-mills, in tended for the Grand Army of the North. These) mills were finished in the short space of 31 days, and expedited by the covered waggons belonging to the Imperial Guards, the drivers of which are directed to travel post. 44 These mills are so light that they may be con ♦eyed with great facility to any given spot ; and they are so constructed, that they may be harnessed to the back part of a piece of artillery. On the day they were sent off from Paris, M. Albert gave a grand fete to his workmen, arid to many of the in• habitants ; and toasts were drank with enthusiasm for the prosperity of the Emperor, and the glory of the Grand Army. ' “ The army clothiers of the Fauzbourgs have been also in full activity for these several weeks in pre paring suitable winter habiliments for our brave ttOops, which we sent off with the same expeditinn. Thus the furs which were consumed in the fire at Moscow, will be replaced by the woollen manufac tures of our oirn country, and thus give life and ♦i gour to our infant establishments.” 4 NUREMBERG, OCTOBER U. 0 The last fait' at Cobourg closed on the 26th Sep tember. It attracted great numbers of Manufactu- I tens from Bohemia, and several parts of Saxony, par t ocularly from Chemnitz, Schleitz, Gotha, Alten bourgh, Erfurth, Lusatia, and several cities in Fran conia. The principal objects of commerce exposed for sale, were India mulling, cloths, kerseymers, linen, ribbons and silks, and jewellery. gg The result of the fair does not present an encou raging prospect with respect to wholesale purchases. The retail trade, however, was brisk and rapid. The dealers in woollen -cloth- and India muslin., in parti cubs; had great ream OD No satisfied. The taus of strangers was treat. They atteiwards proceeded to• wards Leipsic." a NAPI.II, OCTOBER 30. a The unanimous testimony of the fugitives who ' daily arrive from Sicily s and even the Journal% pub lished at Messina and Palermo, concur in proving that the above unhappy Island is overwhelmed with the weight of the political evils, of which the English are the authors. The animosity of parties has now risen to the highest pitch of exasperation. In order to occupy and tranquillize the public mind, the Eng lish dressed up the phantom of a new Constitution, but this present was soon discovered to be worthy of those who gave it. The Sicilian Barons found out that their pretended allies only wanted to perpetuate the tyranny of the English. In the :nidst of these agitations, a dreadful event occurred, as if to form a diversion in favour of the quarrels of all parties : the Parliament had met, when, in the very place of their' assembly, a kind of mine, or rather an incendiary machine, made an explosion ; which, fortunately, either from mismanagement or false calculation, did no mischief, Every attempt to discover the author of this hideous project was vain l-:-every faction ac_ cused the other, but the sober part of the inhabitants were of opinion that the true authors only brought forward this machine in order to form a pretext for accusations against these whom they wished to render suspected in the eyes of the people. " While all these disturbances (brouararns) are going on, the unfortunate Queen Caroline has less personal liberty than ever.—King Ferdinand Is not more at ease. Prince Francis, decorated with the empty title of Vicar General, has not even the shadow of authority. Mary of the Banns are endeavouring to secure themselves and property by flight, from the disasters which they see hanging over their beads. —To crown all, the English are about to add to all! these political evils the horrors of a general famine, ) by sending off tc, their army in Spain the whole of the little corn which remains in the island." Yesterday morning the Crown was removed from the Tower to the King's jeweller's, for the purpose of being repaired and cleaned. As the PRINCE REGENT goes in state to open the Session of Parliament, it is to be carried on a velvet cushion. Lord GWYDIR, as Great Chamberlain of England, is arrived in town, to attend his Royal Highness the PRINCE Rscavr on Monday next, on the opening of the first Session of Parliament. The proceedings which attended the meeting of the new Parliament will be found in another column. The re-appointment of Mr. Anon', as Speaker, must diffuse universal satisfaction—his abilities for the itituation hale long been known and admired by the public. The following are understood as sothe of the sub jects that will occupy the immediate attention of the uew Parliament ;-Ist. The Catholic Question.-2d. The East India Comr.ny's Charter.—ad. The Re form of Parliament.-4th. The Conduct of the War . on the Peninsula—and sth, The State of our Re la. lions with America. But few of these would come on, were apprehended, before Christmas; though, it is said, the Opposition will accelerate. the considera tion of the Catholic Question. On the subject of the momentous questions thus about to be agitated, we cannot, of course, look for unanimity. May we not suggest, howevei, that the sentiments of Individuals and Corporate Bodies may be conveyed to their Representatives and the Public through the medium of the Press. In this way there is at least some chance of the general wishes being made knows. The Earl of MOIRA and the Countess of LOUDON have left town for Donnington, his Lordship's seat in Leicestershire, where they are to remain for a fortnight, in order to arrange private affairs, prepa . ratory to his Lordship's departure. Of five children, the three eldest are to accompany their parents, and the two youngest to remain for some time at home. Four beautiful Persian horses arrived in town yes- tents,' • two from the King of PERSIA, and one from Sir GORE OUSLEY ; three of diem presents to the' PRINCE REGENT, and the fourth (that from Sir GonE) to the Marquis Wou.ssLoy. . The shooting party assembled last week, at Sud borne, in Suff,)lk, consisted of his Royal Highness the PRINCE RooenT, Duke of CEArtencE, Lord YAR MOUTH, Lord LO'WTHER, Count MUNSTER, General LINSENGEN, Colonel BLOOMFIELD, Mr. CONGREVE, There was great conviviality, and excellent shooting. Sir S. ROMLLY and Mr. BROUGHAM, report says, are to be brought into Parliament for Boroughs in the interest of the Duke of Norfolk. We mentioned yesterday, in part of our impressions that an error, or rather an ambiguity, in the transla tion of BALLASTEROSIS letter to the Minister of War, deserved correction. It was not the British, but the French, that were meant when he speaks of a Nation with whom the Spaniards had se always cultivated the best friendship, and of whose bad faith and fair promises ne person could give a more satisfac tory account than the Duke DEJ. INrANTADO."— The Duke is appealed to, because he was one of those who were prevailed upon to repair to Bayonne, and who there had abundant proofs of the fair prorteim gad bad faith , of NAPOLEON.

THE ARM In consequence of the reinforcement! of sent out to the Marquis of WELLINGTON, demands for more ()dicers of that corps, it be strengthened by another battalion. Last week about 1000 men from the King'! German Legion, marched into Lewes, in three di visions, from Bexhill, on their route to Portsmouth, there to embark to j.in the Marquis of Wat.i.iNctii ToN's army in Spain. Most of them had been taktn prisoners in the French service, and volunis Leered from the different prjions•in thich they were confined. They are for the most part fine looking young snen ; and their uniform gives them an ap pearance very different from that which they exhibited when they passed through this town, a short rue since, in their yellow jackets, from the depot, in the isle of Wight, so join their Legion at Bexhill: • RECRUIT/NG DEP- 4 ,RA NiENT: (CIRCULAR.)

They are likewise considered responsible that the Final Approval Reports, which ate prepared by the Paymaster, are regularly transmitted, viz. Ist.
