His MAJESTY went to the House in the•usual State at one o'clock, and having taken his seat on the Throne, with the Prince of ORANGE. on his right hand, and Prince FREDERICK on his left, delivered the following Speech: " High and Mighty Lords !—lt is agreeable for me to be able; at the opening of the Session, to give yoU the renewed assurance that our foreign relations have been constantly maintained by amicable nego ciation. We have reason to be grateful for the pre,. cious advantage of peace which we continue to enjoy, and may indulge the hope of preserving this blessing. The ituernal prosperity of the kingdom has increased, the productions of the soil are in general abundant, and their low prices have been advantageous to the lower classes. Meantime, many farmers suffer by them. By my orders a special inquiry has been made into their interests, considered in relation to those of the consumers ; and the account which has been given to me is the object of my serious consideration." His .I.je , .ty proceeded to cbserve, that Commerce a:1,1 Naviation, though uat restored to their former otrred the most favourable prospects ; the Arts and. Sciences flourish ; many important pub lic v.-tn ks have been undertaken ; the system of reform a•iapted for the isons is in progress; with respect to the Colonies, their prosperity is daily increasing, and the happiness cf the people becoming more se cure, and, since the reduction of Palembang, there has.not beca the slightest interruption of public tran quillity. His Majesty expects that the Assembly will complete the financial measures commenced in the last Session: The Budget will be• founded on the new system, which commences with the ensuing year, anclmeastn es are taking that the transition may be easy., His Majesty is desirous to lessen the burden of the subjwt, and the estimate to be presented will be be low drat of the present year. His Majesty is con vinced that the Assembly will proceed calmly in the great work of National Legislation, in which such satisfactory progress was made last Session. The Code of Commerce will shortly be laid before the Chambers, on whose co-operation in promoting the welfare of his beloved subjects his Majesty relies with implicit confidence. His Majesty, after delivering this speech to the As sembly, left in the same State as he came. The beauty and elegance of the new Hall of As sembly was generally admired. The Augsburg Gazette now tells us, that Suli cer tainly capitulated, and that Corinth was still in the hands of the Turks on the 18th of September. That Journal is, doubtless, one of those that has most credit ; yet what shall we say of its eternal contradictions? This forenoon we received a Lisbon Mail, with Papers to the 13th inst. They are chiefly filled with the proceedings •of the Cortes, and the intelligence from the Brazils communicated to that Assembly.— In the Sitting of the sth inst. the project of a Decree for the rrganizatian of the Provincial Tribunals was discussed. The intelligence from Brazil is interest ing.—The following are extracts : SITTING OF THE CORTES, OCTOBER 6. Accounts were communicated, brought by the French galley Eliza, in thirty-five days from Per nambuco, and by the Portuguese brig Gloria, in ten days from Fartll Among the passengers on board the Eliza, was the Brigadier Jose Correa de Mello, Military Governor of the Province of Pernambuco, who stated, that on the 3d of August there had been a general rising of the people and troops of Pernambuco, in :which they proclaimed unrestricted obedience to his Highness as Prince Regent and perpetual Defender of Brazil, and to the General Constitutional. Legislative Assembly of that Kingdom: that all Europeans, suspected of adhering to Portugalovere immediately arrested and put into the prisons of the fortress, itt order, it was said, to save them from the popular fury. The Go vernor, therefore, judged if proper to give up his command to the Officer of highest rank in the Pro vince, Colonel Jose Camello Pessoa, who was after wards suspended by the Provisional Junta. On the 29th of the same month, when. ha was al. ready embarked, the expedition arrived which was dispatched from Rio de Janeiro against Bahia, com posed of the frigate Union, and the corvettes Maria da Gloria, Carolina, and Liberal, commanded by the Chief of Division (Lamare). This Officer having learnt at sea the expedition of the Calypso corvette, feared to enter Bahia in a hostile manner, and pro ceeding immediately to the Alagoas, there landed, with some ammunition, the Commander of the troops of the expedition (Labatnur), and the next in com mand, and this was all he knew on this subject, having sailed on the 30th—he delivered two bags of dispatches. The Captain of the Gloria said there had been a tumult at the beginning of last month in the Island of Terceira, about 2,000 persons having assembled to oppose the exportation of corn from that island, but the tumult was soon appeased by the Governor and the Corregidor. OCT. B.—M. Telqueiras, the Secretary, stated that he had received a letter from Senor Jose Leno Cou tinho, with a Declaration to be presented to the Cortes. Senor Coutinho stated he was going to Eng land, and offered his services. In the Declaration, the Honourable Deputy gives an explanation of his conduct as Deputy of Brazil.— He had at first hesitated to sign the Constitution, but being afterwards convinced that his signature would only indicate that he had co-operated in drawing it up, he signed, and this the more readily, as he did not conceive himself by that act to bind his constitn ents, either directly or indirectly.—Thus far, he says, his conduct was in conformity with reason ; but when he was called upon to take the oath to a Constitution, of the goodness of which he was not convinced, since it is directly opposed to the interest and the will of his Constituents, could he conscientiously take his oath ? Certainly not. " This, therefore," says he, 44 is my resolution ; and if I am to lose by it the rights of a Portuguese citizen, I shall certainly not lose those of a citizen of Brazil. Brazil is my country, and my duty is to conform to its will. (Signed) " Lisbon, Oct. 6,1822. " JOSE LENO COUTINII0." Referred to the Committee of the Constitution. Ocr. 10.—The opinion of the Agricultural Com mittee on the necessity of importing 12,000 moyos of foreign wheat was read, but the decision was adjourned. The French Papers of Monday.are not decisive as to the engagement said to have taken place between MINA and Baron d'EnoLLEs in the North of Spain; and an article from Perpignan denies that any im portant battle had been fought, but adds, that the moment was approaching at which a great shock might be expected. The courier Francais, however, asserts that official intelligence of the defeat of the Army of the Faith had reached the Government and the Journal de Paris gives the following extracts from letters dated Bayonne, the 15th instant : " We know to a certainty in this town that QUE SADA being entirely destitute of money, the defection of his army is complete. The route of the Army of the Faith at Barasuain on the 4th, is confirmed by letters received from St. Jean-Pied-de-Port. Finally, it is stated, that from fear of being surrounded, the insurgents have abandoned the fort of Irati." 44 An extraordinary courier who passed through here yesterday evening, from Madrid, announces the arrest of three Ministers, PASIBLEY, MARTINEZ de la ItosA, and ---." According to commercial letters, CHou►tscnin PACIIA has received the most formal orders from Constantinople to do all in his power to penetrate again into the Morea ; but that he has not at present, nor can he collect the necessary means to attempt it. A commercial letter from Salonica, of Septem ber 14, brought to Trieste by an Austrian vessel, states that the Greeks, profiting by their maritime superiority, have effected several debarkations on dif ferent points of the coast of Macedonia, less with an intention of establishing themselves than of annoying the Turks, and of obliging them to scatter their forces. These demonstrations have already produced the effect the Greeks intended, at least in part ; for the PAcHA of Salonica has sent towards the Penin sula of Cassandra the troops which he was to send to Thessaly.—The trade of Salonica is nearly nothing at present. News from Venice, of October 6, informs us that a numerous corps of Greeks collected in the environs of Vrachory, has penetrated into Thessaly, and me naces CHOURSCHID PACHA. to operate in his rear, if he again advances towards Livadia. The report of a naval contest, which terminated very favourably for the Greeks, continues in circulation. Letters from Bitoglia of September 20, announce that CHOURSCHID PACHA s who is sometimes at La• rissa and sometimes at Ternovo, has sent a corps of 4000 men towards Salona, but they were entirely de feated. CHOURSCHID has since then sent a great deal of baggage to Bitoglia, and it is generally thought he will establish his quarters in that town; which is more probable on account of the plague raging at Janina, and besides TAsars and DrpaArra are close to his rear at 3ervizia, oitlyfourtraties from Larissa, with . 7000 men. These. two Chieo!•have been for three weeks in possession of Platacciones and have probably prevented CHOURSCHID from personally en tering the Morea. All this information is in circula tion at Belgrade, and is regarded as true. A Tin k of high rank said lately to a Christian, with much naivete, " that the Turks now expect succours from the' Congress against tho Greeks." This forenoon we received Papers and other intel ligence from Bayonne to the 16th instant. Although it is not certain that any decisive battle has been fought, yet it appears that the Insurgents hare ex perienced some great reverses, and that their cause has become hopeless. The following are extracts : BAYONNE, OCTOBER 15. The operations of the Army of the Faith on the frontier Provinces of Spain have had thus far the re suit that might have been expected from the ill-con certed measures of the Committee at Bayonne, and especially from the want of attention by Genetal Equia and Colonel Abreu to the situation of the Chiefs who were at the head of the insurrection in Biscay and Navarre, the inhabitants of which would certainly' have thrown off the yoke if assistance had been given to the bands, so as to hinder the excesses which they, hate committed on the inhabitants and on travellers. Zabala has repeatedly asked assistance, bust every thing has been refused him, and he was told to seek his resources in the country to arm and support his troops, whose progress had so alarmed their adver saries that they had resolved to shut themselves up in the fortresses. The Royalists were masters of almost the whole of the interior, and of the coast from St. Sebastian to Bilboa. The Biscayan youth, to avoid the conscription or dered by the Cortes, crowded to the banners of the Faith, and in less than a fortnight Zabala had 1500 men, which greatly increased his wants, and the Bayonne Committee being deaf to his applications, he was forced to levy contributions on the inhabi tants, who seeing themselves deceived in their hopes, were glad of the arrival of some reinforcements to the Constitutional troops to deliver them from the scourge to which they were exposed ; and in less than another fortnight the band of Zabala has been dis persed, and the remains of it have arrived i❑ a wretched condition at Bayonne and Irati ; and the Constitutional troops are now masters of the whole country, especially of the coast. The inhabitants are still averse to the Constitution. The same has happened in Navarre, where the Royalists were masters before the departure of Qua sad a. The success of Cabra against Espinosa on the 3d is confirmed, as well as the subsequent total de feat of the Royalists on the Ith, sth, fith, 7th, and Sth. General Equia gave a dinner yesterday, in honour of the birth-day of the King of Spain, to 30 of his chief agents. No French Officer was present, as ha been falsely asses ted. Accounts from Saragossa, of the Sth, chew that there is no truth in the report of a victory gained by Mina on the 3d, near Berga, and prove that he was not so near to Urgel as was hoped. It seems certain that nothing decisive has happened in Catalonia, but that, however, as the insurrection was suppressed in the Province of Barcelona, Erroles, who has 7,000 good troops at Tremp, has tried every thing to induce Zarco del Valle to entangle himself in the inaccessible mountains where Tabuenca was killed, but without success. Zarco del Valle was, on the sth, at Montania, with 5,000 men. Our (the Constitutional) army cannot advance without some reinforcement. Letters have been received to-day at Bayonne, from St. Jean Pied de Port, which say that many soldiersl of the Aimy of the Faith have arrived at Irati.— Reports have since been spread that the Army of the Faith has been totally defeated, and that the fort was abandoned yesterday morning—that one of the Gue rilla Commanders (Barratih) had gone,with 400 men; to Guipuscoa, and that the Army of the Faith in Navarre is quite broken up. It is certain that the Constitutional troops in force were, on the 12th, in the forest of Irati, and that Berratin has, in fact, passed into Guipuscoa, to resume the offensive. It is said that an express has brought news of the arrest of Pambley, Martinez de la Rosa, and ano ther Minister. A Brazil Mail has arrived, with letters from Rio de Janeiro to the 20th August, and from Bahia to the 2d September, by which it appears that the Brazilians, after a short resistance, had possessed themselves of the Island of Taparica, only seven miles distant from Bahia. At the above period the second expedition from Portugal had not arrived at Bahia, and the Portuguese troops there did not exceed 2,500 men.' —ln the meantime the Brazilians were approaching l that place by land,• and little doubt was entertained of the speedy establishment of the liberties of, cer tainly, the most important State in South America, from its extent, situation, climate, productions, Scc. l —The PRINCE REGENT had gone to the Province of St. Paul, about 400 miles in the interior, to quell some disturbances that had broken out there, leaving the Princess at the head of the Government during his absence. Letters from Pernambuco to the 7th uk. state that a number of black and mulatto soldiers had viAtite teered there to join she Patwca's forces, and a notice had been issued by the Intendant, announcing his readiness to treat with any persons to convey thd troops, amounting to 2,000 men, to Alagoas. A vessel arrived on the sth from Bahia, having sailed one day after the packet, the Captain of which reported thati ;on the day he sailed, an attack was made upon MADEIRA'S outposts, about a league out of the town and, when his vessel got Under weigh, the place Has lin the utmost confusion. That his MAJESTY will not dine at Guildhall on the 9th of November, is certain: the cause stated is the meeting of certain personages; but it is understood that he will honour the Mansion House with his pre s•nce, which will obviate the difficulty abovemen tioned, as it is the etiquette for a list of the persons in vited to be sent to his MAJESTY for his approbation : Her Royal Highness the Princess AUGUSTA is pre paring for her departure for the Continent, on a visit to her Royal sisters. Her Royal Highness will be accompanied by her Royal broiher the Duke of CAM BRIDGE. They will depart on the sth of November. Yesterday, a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when Lord AMHERST was appointed Governor-General of Bengal. Extract of a letter from Calcutta, dated April 17, 1822:—" The departure of our noble and excellent Governor-General, and the loss of his most capable direction in this country, is an event which we are brought to expect at an early day; and we shall be fortunate indeed if his successor, whoever he may be, shall bear a tolerable comparison with him." Accounts from Vienna state, that his IMPERIAL MAJESTY, most graciously taking into his considera tion the great services done to the Austrian Empire by the brothers Vow ROTHSCHILD, has been pleased to confer on all the brothers RoTHSCHILD, the dig nity of Barons of the Austrian Empire, with remain- der to their legitimate descendants of both sexes. Saturday, the St. Andrew'. Cro s, given to the Royal Company of Archers by Sir GEORGE STEWA RT MACKENZIE, Bart. was shot for in Hope Park, EJi - burgh, at 200 yards distance, and gained by Joint MAxrow, Esq. merchant, Leith. Yesterday, the quarterly inspection of the Police Dismounted Horse Patrole, with their arms, Sze. took place in the Treasury Avenue, Whitehall, by Sir Ilicuann BIRNIE. Several men, who have been re cently appointed, were afterwards sworn in, con formably to the provisions of the Police Act. Lady NUGENT lies dangerously ill at Viscount EERINGTON'S house, in North Audley-street. TRAIL TA LG Aft COMtegoavrioN.--lloatlay being the Anniver sary of the Battle of Trafalgar tought 21st October, 1803), the nag was hoisted on Nelsons Monument, Edinburgh. Monday the Seventeenth Anniversary of the Trafalgar Dinner was celebrated at the Green Man, Blackheath. Major-General YOUNG, of the Royal Artillery, in the Chair. After the removal of the cloth Nirot 'obis Dentine was given with very flee effect Iy Mims, GOLDEN, JOLLY, and NEI.SON. The dinner, greater part l of which was game kindly furnished by the Members of the County, was served up in the best style, the dessert and wroes such as to reflect great credit to the proprietor. At the top of the room the table was made from the wreck of the Spanish Ad miral's ship, the Santissima Trinidada, lent by Captain R.N. on the occasion. The company spent the evening in the utmost hilarity. ENGLISH TIT EA TR ICA LS, FROM Pa n is.—The Joarnat des Dehat of Monday states, that on the 16th the widow of the celebrated GARRIOE, aged 98, died at London. A few hours before her death she enjoyed the best health, and was preparing to attend the opening of Drury-lane Theatre, the property in which brimgtd almost totally to herself r! The Courier Francais, has a statement of the con duct of the French Government towards M. LEGRA• creux, the responsible Editor of that journal, who had given himself up as t prisoner, till it pletv.es the Court of Cassation to decide on the appeal formed by the four opposition journals, against the de ci.ion by which they are interdicted from repo eine, proceedings. It seems that little regard is bad ler !s s voluntary submission to the dee , ees of ,ustice, an. that he is treated with more rigour than at 1.1 , Ito er detention in the same house of Saint Pelagie. Ii I now, the prisoners for political offences. :lA:Lew:se r offences of the press, had been collected in one cor ridor, separate, and without communicati.n with other prisoners for crimes or offences which ate rot connected with opinions. But for some ti•re past ail these philanthropic dispositions have been changed, and now it seems as if there was an affectation to unite at Saint Pelagie persons who are not destined to live with one another. Thus M. LEGRACIEUX is placed in a dirty, dark, and damp chamber, in which he is forbidden to light a fire, and which he is obliged to share with a man detained for having used a false name, in order to commit a large robbery of some diamonds. Thus also the corridor, in which he is confined, is peopled with 16 persons, of whom several are condemned for theft or fraud. This is not all.— His journals are detained, and his letters reach him unsealed. Finally, his wife and his son have not been able to obtain permission to see him since the live days that he has been in prison. ANECDOTE.—The Lady of the fifth Earl of Bed ford, and mother of the celebrated Lord Russell, was highly accomplished in mind and person. She was remarkable for the strictest purity of conduct and de licacy of sentiment, although she was the daughter of Robert Carr, Earl of Somerset, by the dissolute Countess of Essex. But the guilt of her parents, and the murder of Sir Thomas Overbury, had been in dustriouslt concealed from her; and all she knew was their conjugal infelicity and separation. She came one day into her Lord's study, her tithed oppressed and weakened by the death of Lord Russell, when the Earl was suddenly called away, and left her alone. Her eye was suddenly caught by a thin folio, which was lettered, " Tryal of the Earl and Countess of Somerset." She took it down, and, turning over the leaves, was struck to the heart by the guilt and conviction of her parents. She fell back, and was found dead in that posture, with the book lying open before her.—Museum, or Record of Literature. ACCIDENT AT THE SURREY THEATRE.—Yesterday evening, as Mr. CARNEGY was standing on his head ' on the top of a spear, eight feet high, he unfortunately lost his balance, and was precipitated with great via lence on the stage, though he had done the same fiat tithe preceding evening with perfect facility. We are happy to state that the injury received was not equal to the alarm *hiCh it excited, though Mr. CAUSta received some severe bruises. Sp Li Al foi
