Their Lordships must, theft./ fore, have heard with regret and astoni-htstent that the tranquillity of Europe was again likely to he diss imbed by the threatened invasion of Spain. it was not necessary ft r him now to say anything of the principles on which the present Constitution •at Spain was founded, nor of the language that might have been held by democratic clubs at Madrid ; but he would maintain the right which one nation bad to regulate its own affairs, without any right of in'. terlerence on behalf of any other nation. Tbe French Government bad, however, lately promul gated the broad principle of a right of intetferences The doctrine to which he referred was adverted to in his Majesty's Speech, and upon that point a clear distinction had long since been made between the cases where a right of interference might or might not exist, and everything must depend on the part& cular nature of the cases. Whether the King of` France was or was not justified in this tight of inter ference, it was sufficient for our Government to feel conscious of having, at the Congress of Verona, en deavoured to prevent such interference. The King of France, however, advanced his claim, and in that claim hes t was supposted by the Continental Sore , reigns. The Minister of his Britannic Majesty, how ever, pretested against the interference in question, and contended for the maintenance of general trans quillity in Europe. No pains or remonstrances on the part of the British Government had been omitted, to impress on the Powers assembled at Verona, and subsequently on the French Government, the nth cessity of preserving that state of peace, and avoid- ing the dangerous consequences likely to result to France itself, in the present state of Europe, from entering into a war with Spain. Indeed, it was im possible that our Government could be insensible to the danger which any foreign. army must encounter, upon entering Spain in a hostile manner, and carry ing on a war against the whole mass of its popula tion. This was apparent from the events that had taken place in Spain previous to the year 1814. It must be within the recollection of many of their Lordships, that during the anarchical state of France, in the year 1792, the Government of this country -never avowed or pretended to any right of inter ference in the then Government of France, as such; and that it was not until provoked by acts of ag gression on the pan of that Government, that we en tered into the war with France. Our Government had always maintained this maxim, that the internal management of all States belonged exclusively to the States themselves. Our Minister at Verona acted . on this principle; and our Minister at Paris was act ing now on the same principle. France was now about to commence war against Spain : if she entered into it, she did so on her own responsibility. The exertions of his Britannic Majesty would, however, be still employed to avert that war; and there was reason to hope that moderation, justice, and good policy, would still prevail in the councils of that country,. The Noble Earl next came to that part of the Speech which related to the piracies committed in the West dian seas, and observed that :heir Lordships must feel great satisfaction at the result of the remora. *trances which our Government had made to that of Spain on the subject of those depredations,and that such satisfactory arrangements were entered into as must serve to put a stop to them In future, and prevent vessels bearing Spanish Sags from seizing our suer chantmen,while, at the same time a reparation should be mad: for the losses that had been sustained. Their Lordships must feel that the time had arrived when a step of this kind became absolutely neces sary; and he could assure their Lordships that it had been adopted a ithout any view of colonial acquisi tions. The Spanish Government had given us every possible assurance of its active co-operation in -this business, and did so with feelings of the utmost con fidence in our good faith and honour. With respect to the unh app y events which had occurred in the eastern part of Europe, it was impossible for the inhabitants of a Christian country to be insensible to the situ ation of the unhappy Greeks. Respecting these events, remonstrances to the OttontakPorte were not wanting en the past of our Government; and, al though those remonstrances had not been attended with success, he was sure, after the length of time that had elapsed since the commencement of the G,eek insurrection, that even the most zealous friends of liberty would not have wished the country to be engaged in a a ar on their account, much as the me mory of their ancestors must be reveled by every scholar and philosopher. His Majesty had informed the Parliament that the grants made in the last Sacs sion, for alleviating the distresses which prevailed in Ireland, had been attended with the happiest effects; and he hoped that the efforts of Parliament would not stop there, but that measures would be ad9pted for ameliorating the condition of Ireland, and such as would insure the permanent tranquillity and the affections of the Irish people-'.(Hear, hear).--Many painful discussions had taken place ist that House re. specting the unhappy situation of Ireland, and the disturbances that had so long prevailed there. But he now hoped they would folios! up the auspicious recommendation of their Sovereign, and turn their serious attention to the stale of Ireland, with a view of correcting 'Those wihishe it i a res e Lo v u il fr u dthrs s 0 vw e ereic v o.o ils gn m pera ust te be wi p th rob:d e to the bottom—(Hear, hear)--and it would be the that ee those d ib bles e nety m ecio a l t e e anit of i that country.

This being the first day of the meeting of Parliament, and the Rum being prevented by indisposition from being present, The Luso Cuanett.Loa, the Arehbibbop of CAIITIRSUILT. the -Rad of Haaaowar, Earl of Werrunanaun, and the Kurt of Suarramoav, tat as Commissioners to open the •Parliaawin in his Mammy's name. A little after three o'clock the Secants and saveral Members of the House of Commons, having been previously summoned by the Usher of the Black Rod, attended at the bar, when the following Speech was delivered by the Loan CHAXCU.IO3I: " My Lords and Gentlemen, "We are commanded liy his MAJESTY to inform you, that since he last met you in Parliament, his MAJESTY'S efforts have been unremittingly exerted to preserve the peace of Europe. " Faithful to the principles which his MAJESTY has•promulgated to the world as constituting the rule of his conduct, his MAJESTY declined being party to any proceedings at Verona which could-he deemed an interference in the internal concerns of Spain on the part-of Foreign Powers. " And his MAJESTY has since used, and continues to use, his most antious endeavours and good of. (ices to allay the irritation unhappily sub sisting bee tween the French and Spanish Governments; and to avert, if possible, the calamity of war between Fiance and Spain. " In the East of Europe his MAJESTY flatters him self that Peace will be preserved ; and his MAJESTY continues to receive from his Allies, and generally' from other Powers, assurances of their unaltered dis position to cultivate uith his MAJESTY those friendly' relations which it is equally his MAJESTY'S object on his part to maintain. 44 We are further commanded to apprise you, that discussions having long been pending with the Court of Madrid, respecting depredations committed on the Commerce of his MAJESTY'S subjects in the West Indian Seas, and other grievances of which his MAJESTY had been under the necessity of complain ing; those discussions have terminated in an admis sion by the Spanish Government of the justice of his MAJESTY'S complaints, and in an engagement for satisfactory reparation. " We are commanded to assure you that his MA JESTY has not been unmindful of the Addrnses pre sented to him by the two Houses of Parliament, with respect to the Foreign Slave Trade. " Propositions for the more effectual suppression of that evil were brought forward by his MAJESTY'S Plenipotentiary in the conferences at Verona, and there have been added to the Treaties Upon this sub ject, already concluded between his MAJESTY and the Governments of Spain and the Netherlands, Ar ticles which will extend the operation of those Trea ties, and greatly facilitate their execution. " Gentlemen of the House of Commons, - " His MAJESTY has directed the Estimates of the current year to be laid before you. They have been framed with every attention to economy; and the total expenditure will be found to be materially be low that of fast year. " This diminution of charge, combined with the progressive improvement of the Revenue, have pro duced a surplus exceeding his MAJESTY'S expectation. His MAJESTY trusts, therefore, that you will be able, after providing for the services of the year, and-with mit affecting public credit, to make a farther consi derable reduction in the burthens of his People. " My_Lords and Gentlemen, "His M AJESTY has commanded us to state to you, that the manifestations of loyalty and attach ment to his Person and Government, which his MA. JESTY received in his late visit to Scotland, has made the deepest impression upon his heart. 4 , The provision which you made in the last Ses sion of Parliament for the relief of the distresses in considerable districts in Ireland, has been productive of the happiest effects, and his MAJESTY recom mends to your consideration such measures of inter nal regulation, as may be calculated to promote and secure the tranquillity of that Country, and , to im prove the habits and condition of the People. 44 Deeply as his MAJESTY regrets the continued depression of the Agricultural Interest, the satisfaction with which his MAJESTY contemplates the increasing activity which pervades the manufacturing districts, and the flouribbing condition of our commerce, in most of its principal branches, is greatly enhanced by the confident persuasion that the progressive pro. sperity of so many of the interests of the country cannotfail to contribute to the gradual improvement of that great Interest, which is the most imp°, taut of them all." The Earl of Tann/as-ma, late Lord OUVLSTO; took the oaths and his seat. The House adjourned during pleasure. About five o'clock the House was fully attended by Peers; and at half-past five the Loan CHANCELLOR read the Speech which the Commissioners were ditected by his Mansur to de liver to both Houses. The Pad of LIVERPOOL moved the first reading of the Select Vestries BM, as usual at the commencement of Patna. tent.--The BUi was read the first time. Lord ELLEN BOROUGH gave notice that he would move for leave to bt.n, in a Bill to amend the late Marriage Act. THE ADDRESS. The Earl of MORLEY then rose to move the Ad dress to his Majesty. .He said the day had now passed, when Parliament, on occasions similar to the present, was in the habit of hearing accounts of the downfal of countries, and of the difficulties which our own country wat doomed to encounter ; and they'must all reflect with pleasure, that a Speech. more connected with the happiness of mankind, or containing sentiments more dear to the hearts of Englishmen, than what they had heard that day. wa. n'evet delivered by a British Sovereign to his s Parliament. In proposing an Address in an .wer to' the Speech, he should, as a matter of course, make. an exposition of the seneral grounds by which each para4raph of the Speech was entitled - to their Lord. ships consideration.

A division of the Army of the Faith, from ten to 12,000 strong, commanded by intrepid Chiefs, pro ceeded, during the night of January 22, to 'the very ; gates of Madrid, after having successively beaten all the Constitutional troops sent against it. Dismay soon pervaded The capital. The Cortes assembled, the alarm bell was tolled, and everything was done to excite agitation amongst the inhabitants. The efforts of the Revolutionists were not ineffectual.; cries of vengeance and death were re-echoed; an infuriated and hired populace, proceeded to• the , Royal Palace, and uttered infamous menaces. The Royal Family, during several hours, were ex posed to imminent dangers. The KING solicited of the Cortes and Ministry permission to retire to the Escurial; it was refused him, and the ill-fated Mo narch could not even obtain leave from his jailers to have his afflicted spouse, who wai the victim of deep alarm, removed.to another place. Te Government assembled all the disposable troops. which remained in. Madrid, and caused them to be ditected towards the threatened points. These troops were at first beaten ; but afterwards they gained some advantages. FROM THE JOURNAL DES DEBATS. We have to-day (Saturday) received a letter from. Madrid, dated the 26th January, by an extraordi nary conveyance. The Trench Ambassador, M. de Lagarde, had not quitted Madrid at midnight. It was - said that he had that morning demanded his pass ports, and that he would set out on the next day (the 27th). A division of the Royalist coops of Ulman and Bessieres, about 7,000 strong, had advanced to the gates of Madrid; if this letter may be credited they were repulsed. It makes no mention whatever of the commotityns of the 22d. FROM THE JOURNAL DE PARIS. A letter from Madrid, written on the 26th January, announces that a corps of 7,000 rebels, composed of disbanded regiments, and a multitude of other indi viduals, had formed the design of marching against the capital. On receiving intelligence of their move ments, the Government dispatched all the disposable troops which could be mustered ; a conflict ensued, and the rebels at first had the advantage; but Gene ral Velasco promptly came up with the national mi litia, and soon decided victory in favour of the Con stitutionalists. The defeat of the rebels was complete; a great number of them was killed and made prisoners. During this movement, which doubtless had for its object to carry off the King, Madrid remained in a state of perfect calm • one Fauzbourg only mani fested symptoms of di saffection, which were soon re pressed by the firmness of the Government. In the first moments of alarm, the King was in clined to remove to the Escurial ; but the Cones and the Government represented to his Majesty that he was much more secure in Madrid, where all the in habitants would serve as a rampart against the fac tious. The King was impressed with the truth of this advice, and did not quit hi s P a l ace. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ M. de Lagarde was still at Madrid on the 26th ult. and did not appear to be making preparations for departure. The letter which we have cited adds, as a post script—" It is now eleven o'clock at night, and the capital is perfectly tranquil at this moment." FROM THE CONSTITUTIONNEL. An extraordinary courier, who left Madrid on the 26th January, at half-past eleien o'clock at night, has brought very important news, which contradicts The intelligence published yesterday by the Journal des Debate, and which would tend to excite the be lief that there had been a hostile movement in that capital on the 22d ; and: that the populace had sur rounded the ]loyal Palace, where they vociferated atrocious menaces against his Majesty. Three days since a rumour to this effect was hawked about in certain saloons; but we are about to shew that it is totally destitute of authentic foundation. The truth is, that the bands which had marched upon Saragossa and had been repulsed there, crossed the mountains and proceeded against Guadalaxara, an open town situated about fifteen leagues from Madrid. The small number of troops of the line garrisoned there was compelled to retreat and aban don two pieces o( artillery. Scarcely was this intelligence published in Madrid, (the greatest part of the garrison of which had „snatched some days previously to the frontiers), when the National Guard demanded to match and engage the insurgents., Several battalions of this guard set off on the 22d, and on the 24th they attacked the re bels and completely routed them. The National Guard retook the two pieces of artillery and made a great number of prisoners, amongst whom were found the Swiss deserters. Towards the close of the conflict, General Velasco, who commanded a column of the troops of Arrngon, arrived, and having joined the militia, the .fugitives were pursued, in disorder, until they took refuge in the mountains. The General Empecinado particularly distinguished himself in this affair. The Commandant of the troops ' of the line, who had at first given way, is summoned for trial before a council of war. Orders have been dispatched to Cordova, Seville, and throughout An dalusia, to march all the troops of the line. During this afair the ,greatest tranquillity pre vailed at Madrid. On the 26th, M. de Lagarde, the • Fren:h Ambassador, had not quitted that capital. itessmv S•raturrms.—The accounts published by the Synod of St. Petersburgh (wLlch comprehends the Lussian Greek Church only) state, that the number of births in the year 1820, In the whole Empire, was.-- ' Males, 827,729; Females, 742,670; Total. 1,370,399; being ' 48,265 more than in 1819.
