Faithful to the principles which Ills Majesty hes promulgated to the world as constituting the rule of his ceaduct, His Majesty declined teeing party to any pets tootling. at Verona which weld be deemed an interfe res., is the istereal concerns of Spain on the part of Foreign Powers: And His Majesty has since used, mod continua's to use, his most ansioos endeavours and pod spaces to allay the 'irritation unhappily subsisting lie; tweets the French and Spanish Government* ; and to' avert, if possible, the calamity of war between Franco' mid Spain. In the East of Europe his Majesty flatten himself that Peace will he preserver , and his Majesty comities* so receive from his Alliea, and generally from other Powers, asseramies of their unaltered disposition to mil , tinge with his Majesty those friendly relations whiels K impially bit Majesty's °Newton his part to maim taim. • Weave. farther commanded to apprize you, that die missions having long been pending, with the Cosset of Madrid, respecting depredations committed on the Imes merce of his Majesty's Subjects in the West I adieu Sty, and other grievances of which his Majesty bad beio under the necessity of complaining; these discussions have terminated in an adm.ssion by the Spanish Om tenement of the justice of his Majesty's complaints, and in an engagement fur satisfactory reparation. " We are commanded to assure you that his Majesty has not been ustoindfsl of the Addresses presented to Wm by the two Houses of Parliament, with respect to lie Foreign Slave Trade. " Pntposisions for the more effectual 'oppression of that evil , were brought forward by his Majesty's Pleni potentiary in the Coaferences at Verona, and then ban been added to the treaties upon this subject, alresiy 'concluded between his Majesty and the Governments of Spain and the Netherlands,. ankles which will extend site operation of those Treaties, and greatly facilitate *heir execution. • " Gentlemen of the Hones sf C 011.110114 " His iblejesty has disectet the Estimates of the extent jeer to he laid before you.

O a Deeply as his Majesty regrets the continued de pends* of the Agricultural Interest, the satisfaction with which his llisjesty contemplates the increasing activity which pervades the manufacturing districts, and the flourishing condition (dour commerce, in most of its priacipal branches, is greatly enhanced by the confideot persnasson that the progressive prosperity of so ray of the interests of the °pantry cannot fail to contrihnee tio the gradual improvement of that great interest, which Is the most important of them all." The Earl of TANKNOTILLI, late Lord Oseulston, took the oaths and his seat. The Bosse adjourned doriog pleasure. AFout five o'clock the House was fully attended by Peers ; and at half past five the Lord Chancellor read the Speech which the Commissioners were directe4 b T his Majesty todeliver to both houses. THE 3IARRIAGE ACT. Lord ELLENBOROUGH gave notice that he would move for kayo to bring in a Bill to amend the late Mar& Hoge Act. MIS MAJEATT4 SPEECH. The Earl of MORLEY then rose to move the Address to his Majesty. He said the day had now puled, when Parliament, on occasions similar to the present, was in the habit of bearing accounts of the downfall avian: , tries, and of the difficulties which our own country was doomed to encounter ; and they must all reflect with pleasure, that a Speech, more connected with the happi ness of mankind, or containing sentiments more dear to the hearts of Englishmen, then what they bad beard that day, was never delivered by a British Sovereign to his Parliament. In proposing an Address in answer to she Speech, he should, as a matter of course, make an exposition of the general ground by which each para graph of the Speech was entitled to their Lordships' consideratioe. The convulsions by which Europe tad bees agitated, must be billy impressed on the Wed, of. their Lordships ; and whatever different. of opinion might exist as to territorial arrangements on the part of foreign powers, there ceoW be no difference as to the necessity of a strict adherence to treaties on behalfof our Hovetninent, u well as the preservation of peace. Their Lordships mast therefore have beard with regretand astonishment that the tranquillity of Europe was again likely to be disturbed by the threatened invasion of Simla. It was not necessary for him row to say any thing of the prin. ciples so which the present Constitution of Spain was founded, nor of the language that might have been held by democratic clubs at Madrid; - bet ha would maintain the right which one nation lied to regulate its own affairs, withont any right of interference on be• half of any ether nation. The French Government had, however lately promulgated the bitted priocipliof a right of interference. 11. doctrine to which he.referred was adverted to in his Majesty's Speech. and ups. that point a clear distioctios had long since beta made be: twees the cases where a Fight of interference might or inight not exist, and .evwy thing most depend on the Futiosier nature of the epee. Whether the King of rance was er was not justified io this right of inter ferrule, It was sufficient for our HoireramenS to' feel coneciongiol having. W the Congeal of Verona, 4:odes wieredq to gamut such literference. The Meg of Peelleetbilnecer.: . avance4 his claim; and in that claim , kw Mae stepperted by the Continestal Sovereigns. The 'NOME Igo &kiwi* , mat:, however, protestiOd ..11" J‘i rinse the interfitrente in "Notion. and contended for a Igalkaituance of g ' I ttanquillity in Rittope.—; ,0 r . 4 or remdnstranme •on the part of the °nli "aliiiient had bleb omitted; to impress, au thi Powers assembled at Verona. and tub ! on the French Goterdmrat itself, the oh . I lit preemie, that state of peace, and avoiding consermences likely to result to France R. is i present state of Europe, from epteringinto 7 QUO Spain. Indeed, it was impossible that our 0 • could be insensible to the deojer which Wily foreign army mast encounter; upon entering Spain in khestiltiosener; and carrying on a war against the whole mam of its population. This was apparent from the events that had taken place in Spain preVious to the year 1814. it what be wi•ltin the recollection of many of their Lordships, that during the anarchical state of France in the year 1793, the Government of this coon try'seves avowed or pretended to any right If„inter• *moms ig the then Government of .France, an each ; mad that: it was not until provoked by acts of aggiession at the . pert of that Goverment. that we entered into the war with Frame. Oar Government had always maintained this maxim, that the internal manage meet .1 all States belonged exclusively to the States themselves. Our Minister at Verona seed en this principle; and our Minister at Paris was acting new °noise same principle. France was now shout to commence war against Spain ; if she entered into it, else did so so her own responsibility. The exertion' 0 his Beiteneic Majesty would, however, be still em ployed to avert dhat war; and there was reason to hope Ant moderation, justice, and good policy, would still retvail in the Councils of that country. The Noble Suit next came to that part of the Speech, which re. Medicato ppiracies committed in the West lodise seas ; lhearsed.that their Lordships must feel great tails fat:doh at the result of the remonstraocei which our filoverament had made to that of Spain, on the subject of those depredations, and that such satisfactory "r -estatements were entered into, as must serve to put a atop to them in future, and prevent vessels bearing, Spanish lags from seising our enerehantsben. while at the sane time a reparation should he made for the losses that bad been sustained. Their Lordships must feet that the time arrived when a step of this kind became absolutely nee sssssss and he could assure their Lordships that it had been adopted without any view of colonial acquisitions. The Spanish Government had given es every possible assurance of its active co-ope ration is this business; and did so with feelings of the utmost confidence in our good faith and honour. With respect to the unhappy events that occurred io the east ens part of Europe, it was impossible fur the inhabitants of.* Christian country to he insensible to the situation of the unhappy Greeks. Respecting these events, remoo• strances to the Ottoman Porte were not wanting on the part of our Government. And although those remoh *trances had not been attended with suocesa, he was sore. after the length of time that had elapsed since the supoinrocentent of the Greek insurrection. that even the Mgt seldom friends of liberty would not bare wished liWeanntry to be engaged is a war on their Wining, touch as the memory of their ancestors mnst be revered by every scholar and philosopher. His Majesty had in- formed the Parliament that the grants made in the last Session for alleviating the distresses which prevailed in Ireland had been attended with the happiest effects: and be hoped that the efforts of Parliament world not stop tbere,but that measures wield be adopted for ameliorating the condition of I reland,and such as would insure the per ainnent tranquillity and the affections of the Irish people. Many painful discussion bad takep place ip that How., respecting the unhappy situation of 1r5..1 land, and the disturbances that bat se long prevailed there. Hut he now hoped they would follow up the as ' • - -11 their sovereign, and turn .testate of Ireland with a view 'hose evils mot be probed to sibs duty of tbeirLordshipens ; lent wishes of their Sovereiief of Ireland: *he bad so Mk. l' Muni to their country, alit —ojecti of the Government. — (hear, .. _.., old nut wean to make any allusion to those who came here to attend their duty io Parliament; but it was notorious that a large class of persons had been habitual absentees from their estates in Ireland, and that no small share of the grievances by which Ireland had been afflicted arose from their absr.tice.— Hst therefore hoped they would go back, and by their pre sande and example assist in bringing about an ameliorated state of things in that country. The Noble Earl nest ad verted to the depressed state of the agricultural interest; a calamity which, In some respects, might be attributed to ea emissive importation of grain in the years ISIS and 1819, and the abundant h which afterwards • followed ; sip to the excess of cultivation in Ireland; and the change that had taken place in the currency of the catintry. Up to this time no effectual measure of )ellef tied been adopted for the agricultural lot . There lii not any mode of relief pointed out in Ms Majesty's Speech, nor could any proposition to that effect be brought forward that must not be subject to doubts and difficulties.— it most be the duty as well as the wish of their Lordships to bring forward any plan of relief that might be prac ticable; but if no practicable plan could be adopted, it syould only lead to disappointment and dissatisfaction to propose any. MI that their Lordships therefore could now do on ibis subject was to express their thanks to his Majesty for the sentiments of regret which be had ut tired in his Speech. His Majesty hail most graciously expressed his satisfaction at time reception he had met with during his late visit to Scotland. No English So vereign had antecedently visited that country,and bedid net know that any thing had a happier effect in uniting and knitting together the hearts of all his subjects than sub a visit on the part of the Sovereign. A lively feeling of loyalty was manifested towards his Majesty on that occasion, not only in _Scotland, bat in every part of the kingdom where his Majesty approached. He was persuaded the' their Lordships would febt no diffreulty in concurring with that part of the Address which no. Sited "the'efforts his Alajesty bad made for the general disolition of the slave trade: Many years No, thePhrliament had abolished that abominable MSc ; and every thing that was great and enterprising Etbbeen slue exerted towards the completion abinsportant measure: Oar Government bad ince.- ly laboured to engage the different nations of Europe Ito abolish the trade; they had submitted their proposi. (hots en that 'select to the assembled Sovereigns at Verona; and the illustrious Doke, who bad so often -hash' in favour of liberty, did submit to them a plan ler ita, fold abolition—the proposition that all ships itlidiog in slaves should be considered as pirates ; and his proposition was admitted at Verona, and sent to all the trading parts •of Europe. It was , fit that their Lordships should offer their congratulations to I& hiajesty on the flourishing state of the trade and com.i *eke of the country. On this part of the subject it 'me impissible not to look with satisfaction to she great 'events that-were passing in the world, and Use eyes. elye swum of trade .that were tow optiewst"to this country to South America—a region of greet exteot and, rapidly increasing importance. He felt that be lisC shindy encroached too much on their Lordships' time. ' (Max, bear.)

How could this be accounted for? The answer Prat very plain; the difference between the state of the country at that time and its present state arose from the difference in , the amount of the taxation. It had brut falsely asserted. that the distresses of farmers had been occasioned by high feats. So far from that being the case he could state to their Lordships instances ocer.- ing in Essex 'and other counties, where Ottani t ruse in the habit of receiving preminms from their hindlords;ifi order to induce thous to cultivate the lied Int itahiuld run to waste.

Looking spin it is this light, then, it was a nefarions act—a measure of robbery and injustice. Much was said of the necessity of preserving public faith in every newspaper that one met with, Nit this consideration of how far keeping faith with one class of men at the eapensl and nottlitie rain of another, bad not . hitherto been sulfiiientiy attended to.

Reverting to the speech from the throne, he was glad that a pla was thee* held out , for a reduction Oaf taxation, tho u , whilst the present eurreaey contended, he feared . amount in which it could be redneed must be limited. One thing. however; be wished to tell the Noble Rill and hie co:- league., that if they did not reduce the taxes, the lazes would soon reduce themsePree. 'the sources of taxation were already nearly dried up, and thoilriumewhicb bad bees hitherto afforded by comparative wealth; boatel to loopy be *rung from the now unhappy bed imposer lilted people.

He would have them avoid the rain which was gaping at their feet, in time; but. it was im. possible to trio.. with it.
