I c:intinoe to receive from foreign Powers the strongest assurance of their friendly disposition to. •db this country, and of their earnest desire to intain the general tranquiiii , .y. The hosiiiiiies to which I was compelled to ',- mt. in vindication of the honour of the country, first the Government of Algiers, have been at- IJed with complete success. The splendid achievement of his Majesty's Flee t conjunction with a squadron of the King of the .erneeLANDS, under the gallant and able conduct of onkel Viscount Exstocrif, led to the immediate mod unconditional liberation of all Christian Captives then within the territory of Algiers, andto the renun :ion by its Government of the practice of Christian very.

" 1 trust that this deficiency is to be ascribed to temporary causes. and I have the consolation to li:ve that you will find it practicable to provide for the Publii Expenditure of the year. without any ad dition to the burtbens of the People. and without adopting any measure injurious to that system by which the Public Credit of the Country 'has been sustained. g , Ny Lords ea Gewhiere, I have the satisfaction of informing you, that the arrangements which were suede in the last Session of Parliament, with a v,ew to a new Silver Coinage, have been completed with unprecedented expedition. " I have given directions for the immediate issue of she New Coin, and I trust that this measure will be productive of considers le advantage to chit trade and interest of the country. di Tile distresses eaoseguent upon'the termination Of s war of such emisoal extent and duration, have been felt with greateror less severity throughout all Nations of Europeorad have .been considerably ag &melted by the unfavourable state of the season. " Deeply as I lament the pressure of these evil, On this country, I am sensible they arepi a nature not to admit of an immediate remedy. But whilst, i ob serve with peculiar suisfaction the fortitude with which so many privations have been borne, and the active benevolence which had been employed to mi tigate them, I am persuaded that the great sources of our national prosperity are essentially unimpaired. and I entertain a confident expectation that the native energy or the country will, at no distant period, am mount all the difficulties in which we are involved. In considering our internal situation, yon will, I doubt not, feel a just indignation at she attempts which have been made to take advantage of the dis tresses of the country for the rrpose of exciting I spi rit of sedition and violence. .•.

His ROYAL HIGHNESS lookt•3 extremely well, and WAS dressed in military uniform. Oa his tight and hit were the Dukes of Volta and CLAREVCE. The Grand Duke Isitotiot.as, Coma LItYliN, the Itussi.in Ambassador, the Prince EA-1101am the Austrian Ambassiciur, the Duke of ORL►'A\J, and several ocher distinguished tureiguers, sat on the right of the Thyme.

Ail the blinkrerial Me.nbers of tLe House of l'eess wire present in their rubes. The crowd in the streets and in the P.iik, at his anyal. Hanneass went and returned, was very great, but orderly. At three u'clJck Mr. litier, with a long train rf followers, passed along Parliament•streer, with the Petition for Parliamentary Reform. The Petition was suspended from a p .le, Mr. HUNT supporting the cad of it ; and even here the crowd, though loud, conducted themselves with great moderation. At no period do we remember to have witnessed so much interest excited among all ranks by the ex pected opening of the Session of Parliament, as has every where manifested itself respecting that which commences this day : nor can the fact excite any sur prise when all the circumstances under which it as ' semWes are contemplated. An acknowledged large deficiency in the Revenue—au eipendituie ex ceeding our income—a general stagnation of Coal merce, with its attendant derangement of our exten sive mar.ufactures, and want of employment for a large portion of our mechanics and labourcts, are top cs which cannot but excite a very lively interest Bat how much is this heightened ahem the general ditcontent is considered and the intemperate use I which may be made of it by designing men The latter circemstance and the uses din may be I made of it. excite much di.:cussion and much appre hension. On the one land it is obvious. from what has already happened, that the public peace may. be endangered sot 'only by bad but by indiscreet n.en ; and. on the other. the friends of corruption, the ad vocates for extravagant waste, may be expected to avail themselves of 4 a apprehensions which the fear of tumult cannot but excite in the breasts of many, as inducereats to postpone retrenchment and every thing &serving ti.e name of substantial Reform.— Both of these dreadful evils must be guarded against,' hrhl. it will require all the vigilance and firmness of Government and Parliament to chalk out and follow that steady and firm course which is imperiously .called for by the circumitances in which the country is pl iced at this critical moment. We cannot . but hope that Ministers are prepared to bring forward some measures which will satiny the nation that a reform of abuses may and will be el . - fated in a constitutional mariner by Parliament. This we consider as absolutely indispensable. and as the only rational manner in wnich popular discontents 'can be allayed. We hare the happiness to announce that her Royal Highness the Duchess of CIMISCRLAND is safely brought to bed. . Yesterday morning early her Royal Highness was unwell.
