The speech delivered, as His MAJESTY'S, by the Loan Cnissicstt.oe, cured the Lords Commission ers, for the purpose of 'proroguing Parliantilmt, on Monday last, says —o His Komi has directed us mos: earnestly to recommend to you, (the Lords end Coutteens), that you should cultivate, by all means in your power, a spirit of union, harmony, any goof will, amongst all classes ar.' descriptions of his people." Of t';. I.;aassrv's beneficent intentions, no man can entertain a dcnbt, who looks into his long reign, and considers the uninterrupted series of ass of conciliation and kindness, with which it bat bees marked, towards that class of His MA) IST T'S . subjects, proscribed by his present Ministers, and represented as dangerous to the safety of Church and State. That His Majesty's Ministers, who se strenuously laboured to revive religious strife and bigotry, to make religion, which was in tended as a bond of society, a sword to sever its members from each other, should wish that a storm, artfully raised for a purpose, should subside after that purpose was answered, the public were also prepared to tweet. The only circum stance that can excite surprise, is the abruptness of their transition from the furious language of re ligious strife, to the mild and moderate tone of to lerance and conciliation. Had they been sincere and zealous bigots, nothing less than a miracle could have wrought such a sudden conversion ; and as it is not pretended that any miracle was wrought in their favour, they have, by their sudden change of temper and tone, subjeaed themselves to the suspicion of being an artful set of intriguers, who made their way into power by the worst sort of political fraud and hypocrisy. The neat marked feature of the speech is, that which professes 41 great satisfaaion at the inquiries instituted by the House of Commons, into subjects connected with public economy ; and trusts that the early attention of the new Parliament will be applied to the pro secution of these important subjects." That the men who arrayed themselves in arms against the Tenth Report of Naval Inquity, and sought to palliate or defend all the &sus.' disclosed in that important document, should declare them selves the enemies of peculation and embezzle mcnt, argued rather too much confidence in public credulity. But, thanks to their indiscretion, how. ever great that credulity may be, they have at the sense time taken care that the public shall not be deceived. Adverting to the Insane. Report, the presenting of which was prevented by the abrupt interposition of the Bleck Kid, on Monday last, Ministers, in the Prints devoted to their interest, last night observed, as follows : " In reviewing the whole of the case in question. and of the charge which the late Maa.itters have founded upon it of a wish so dissolve Parliament, in order to prevent the presenting the Report of the Committee of Finance, the public will be of opinion, that the contrivance was all on the part of the Committee, and not on the pert of the Ministers . The Committee had adj•.nrn^d, as we understand. from the *,,,turd,sy to the Monday at two o'clock. Bat some of the Member; met so early as seven in the morning► of Monday, to prepare Use .Report in • , 14, ' aunties.

We see in i t the same spirit and eaperness to cover public Ana l and embezzlement, that were displAyed in opposit n to the Tenth Report. It is a of Indiattcr; ovum the Committee of Finance, who are told that they ought to have begun with the Bank; th at they ought rot to have polluted the Arns).M:c with their impertinent inquiries ; and that the c bezalemeut of 19.8001. ought to have rem— t wrapped up from the public eye in imperrt..... secrecy and darkness. After this et•nsure ti?o, l 1 ,, nourable and conscientious men, for daring to c!. pose puirlic plun.4l- and peculation, we obiold glAd to know what che ire there is of an eat, stria, and impartial investigation of public s'xise-, under the present Ministry ?

Of all this intelligence, however, as also of the reports of a subsisting negociation between the Belligerent Powers. which is mentioned in ar tick, dated from the Banks of the Main, we were in possession last week.
