This day, at half an hour after two o'clock,. the LoaD CHANCELLOR entered the House, and pro ceeding directly to the table, received the 'laths as a Peer of Parliament. Soen after the Noble bard retired for the pitrpote of putting on his robe+, and returned to the ilmse, accompanied by the Arch biNhop of (7ANTEtthURY, the Duke of WELLISO- Ton, the Earl of HARROWBY, and the Earl of WESTMoRLAND, who, with the Noble and Learned Lord, acted as the Royal Commi,sinners. The Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod f.`ratas -..- then commanded to require the attendance o f the House of Commons at the Dar to hear the Prince Regent's Speech reed. The Commons soon after appeared at the bar, preceded by their Speaker, when the Loan CHAN ceLLoR, o►► the part of the Cun►missiouers, read the following Speech : " My lord: and Gentlemen, " We are commanded by his Royal Highness the Prince Regent to express to you the deep regret which he feels in the eontinuencc of his Majesty's lamented indisposition.

" We are directed to inform you, that the negociatinns which have taken place at Aix-la-Chapelle have led to the evacuation of the French territory by the Allied Armies. " The Prince Regent has Riven orders, that the Conven tion concluded fur this purpose, as well as the other dorii• meats connected with this arrangement, shall be laid before you and he is persuaded, that you will view with peculiar satisfaction the intimate union which so happily subsists amongst the Powers who were parties to thew IrautiCtionp, and the unvaried dispoaition which has been manifested in all their proceedings for the preservation of the peace and tranquillity of Europe. " The Prince Regent has commanded us further to ac quaint you, that a Treaty has liven concluded between his Royal Highness and the Government of the United States of America, for the renewal, for a further term of year•, of the Cowin trial Convention now subsisting between the two nations, and for the amicable adjustment of several points of mutual importance to the interests of both countries ; awl, as soon as the ratifications shall have been exchanged, his Royal Highness will ;rive directions that • copy of this Treaty shall be laid before you. " Gentlemen of Ike House of Commons, " The Prince Regent has directed that the Estimates fur the current year shall be laid before you. " His Royal Highness feels a , sured, that you will kern with satisfaction the exteid of reduction which the present situation of Europe, and the ciicuasslances of the British Empire, have enabled his Royal Highness to effect iu the Naval and Military Establishments of the country. " His Royal Highness has also the gratification of an nouncing to you, a considerable and progressive improve ment of the Revenue in its most important branches.

The Commons then retired, and the House ad journed till five o'clock. The House being again met at fire o'clock, the General Indemnity Bill was, according to esta blished usage, ordered to be read es first time. The Lords Coninsivisiosiere Speech was then read by the LOAD CHANCELLOR, and again by the Clerk at the table ; which being done, Tue Earl of Waawttif. rose and said, that in rising to require the concurrence of their Lordships in the !musts coutitioed in the Prince Regent's most gracious Speech, he felt no inconsiderable re luctance, from a consciousness of his own inability' to treat on such important subjects in a Suitable manner; but he was encouraged by the assurance, that it required no very abbe advocate to secure their unqualified assent, where every topic, save those with which the Speech commenced, Was cal culated to ekcite feelings of gratification. The fo mented induiposition of his Majesty had ever beets a cause of sorrow to their Lordships; the coi&nu ance of it, therefore, could not now fail to call forth the sincerest expression of their sympathy. Tney hail also now to pay the mournful tribute of their sorrow to the memory of her late Majesty, who, for so loot( and 40 eventful a period, had p►e sided over the Court of Great Britain, adorning it by her eminent virtires, and preserving its purity by her owls proud example. During that pe;iod, the Court of this country was the object of uni- aerial esteem and aolunrosion ; and now that it has lost her mortice, by whom its character had been so highly elevated, it became every person in the country to mourn that event as one that claimed their deepest regret. The Noble Earl then ullirding to the general politics of the country, said, it would be pregsnip tuous in him to enter into a detail of the circum stances connected with them. Ile however could not but consider the withdiawing of the troops iii France. as an event of the most beneficial nature, not only to that country, but to the geueral con cerns of Europe. It had coir4oliolated tie peace for which Great Britain had so long and so daunt lessly contended, and hall secured it on thaw priu ciples which had uniformly guided the Councils of this Empire. To that end hail our armies been succemlid in the field—in that raid had our movies triumphed on the ocraii—hut not until this object was completed could our triumphs have been en joyed, and it was a sonree of congratulation that the peace of Europe had at length been established upon grounds more secure than the most sanguine minds could have contemplated. With respect to our affairs in India, the late events hail only tended to establish cur possessions on a more secure foundation. Our territories there have been secured by signal successes, our arms have been downed by brilliant achievements, our commerce has been extending its influence, our revenues have been rapidly augmentiog, every source of national prospeety seems to open with a more than ordinary bounty ; and with these causes of proud exultation to excite their admiration and their gratitude, he should conclude by moving an Ad dress, in answer to Its Royal Highness's most gra cious Speech.—( liear. hear.) The Noble Earl then read the Address, which was, as usual, Hit echo of the Speech. The Address being read from the IVoolsack, Lord SA LTOU N rose for the purpose of seconding it, which he did very briefly. lie alluded in terms of regret to the continued Indisposition of our revered Sovereign, unit to the more recent national cala mity—the demise of her ;Majesty. The general regret at the Queen's decease, ought, lie remarked, to be at least ColllrrlrtibUride with the high and signal benefits that were derived from her Majesty's virtues and example to the cause of social order, by the promotion of rr.orality and religion. These benefits wets the more important, iu consequence of Itie great and general demoralization that had taken place in a neighbouring country, and was spreading Its pernicious influence over every other people. At that period the high qualities of her Majesty served to repel their encroachment, and under tier powerful protection, and aided by her example, the Court of Great Britain became the seat of purity and virtue. The Noble Lord then briefly alluded to the political events noticed in the Speech, and remarking uu the occupation of France by the Allied armies, observed, that the recent re missal id Ihore armies Info's , die period regularly !Italic, 41 by the previous Tt,..ty for unit event, wi,s the wily iiistance iu gelieral history wheivin great • tuilitaiy Powers, in pusses ton of a foreign country, literally fulfilled the conditions of their engage nituts.—( lierse.)-1 is a low tone of voice he re marked on the advantages of the Conveotion with America, and the happy conclusion of the war in India ; and concluded by seconilin4 the Address. 'Elie Marquis of LANSDOWN rose, net fur the purpose of offering any objections to the Addles, moved and sec led by the Noble Lords opposite, for in the firms of the Speech and of the Ailtheii he heartily concurred. In being enabled thus to espies) himself, he felt a matisfact the most sin cere, because it was at all times painful to hint to offer any opposition to a Speech at the commence ment of a Session; butt it would he perllCki lady painful to him uu the priesetit uccnsior, w h en 2 CCU- PRICE I VEN-reNcE. iderabl. pert of thr Athlretot to which they were I C.0111:11f lIP C0111 . 1 , « , 1 in II l4il ii. e of eoridolerice.—(llenr, hew-, /.cur.)—ilitt 1,. gtv tug his awed to the Ire ‘iiN of the Siweel!, felt himself hound to make some observation, * not so much on the topics that were contained in it, • es MI those which seemed to have been carefully excluded from it. Those that were introduced into it were of the most igreeable nature. In the first, relating to the establishment of a general peace, by the Treatiesof Aix-la-Chapelle, he most heartily coucurrvil. It was indeed a matter for 'lmitation that pence had at length been restored ; but what degree of hope might be formed with regard to it. costinuuuce he was net prepared to say, until lie had received much fuller information respecting it then was contained in the Prince Regent's Spet eh until be had heard whet the balatwe of power was that had been finally established in Europe—what the relation. that exrited between the several States. Th., evacuation of France met with his Wiest eon. cur/eller ; for lie felt that, in restornig France In her proper independence, much had been done to wards confirming the proper system of Europe, and that security could thus be obtained which it was impossible 'o expect while France was kept in a state of bondage. Hitt, happy as he was to see her returning her proper rank, he could not ft. , I a confidence in the establttlinient of her tra nq u i llity, miles. it sieve confirmed by the wise and liberal po licy of her internal govt riiment —unless he saw the House of Bourbon promote the growth and per nistience of her fret institutions. Ile could tint dismiss this sorlieet. Geis; no from the Congress at Aix•la-Chapelle, without oh•erv ing. that it would have added much to Ins 11.1.1 it been pos•ihle to have introduced into the Speech some intimation that efforts had heel' made in obtain from the united Powers an eoffsee. meat for terminatiug, throughout every ilace 'le der E uro pe an control, the abotninataie truffle in slaves. Ile had hoped that, in the various concertos of the lute Congress. ties subject had not been fer ellen—NlA that, as a means of utterly pre veining the possibility of the slave trade, a mutual rii.ht seat ell had, under proper restrictions, h►eo deter !pitied. He was conviticed that he should hear of sonic e xertions having been made by his Nlajest)'s Ministers—but he lanteuted that the Speech dirt not speed'', as the result, the final extinction of this re volting traffic.— ( Hear, hear.) The improvement in the revenue, the increase of commerce, the revival of industry, were to hirn subjects of sincere satisfaction, but the prosperity of which these seemed to he the promise end the as wurance, lied not, as far as his own, and he faetreil their Lordships' experience went, hitherto reached that clam of society which most required the hand of relief-whe meant the labouring class. Neither hail the improvement of the revenue extended so far as to relieve Porliament from every apprehens:on. The improvement had indeed been considerahle. In the consolulattd fund lie believed, the increase amounted to three mil;ion., a• compared with the produce in the last year; but the excess arnentit. , l only in from '2 to 300,0001. and this was totally entree up by the arrears in preceding years, of which a very large amount still remained ouprovided for. In the year now termi.tated, tins revenue ■mount ed to 53,000.0001. while the expetilittare a tioettiteel to 0,000,000/. ; and supposing the 111,1.41(111CW of the present year to equal that of the year just ternimated, there would be it defirismcy of 14,000,0001. a sum equal to the sinking fund ; fir !hit 1100)1114 would reusaln applicable to relieve the country from the tremendous burden of the public debt, a burden which, so long as it continued, must to a certain extent neutralise the energies of the people, and in the event of a future war, cramp the exettions that might be thought necessary fur the public good. He was aware, however, that the supplies required for the present year, would be considerably less than those of the year preceding ; but supposing them to be less I, the sum of foot indlions, there would then remain only 4.000,000/. applicable to that great and essential object. It would be the duty of Parliament again and awaits to review the state of the revenue, to ascertain what reductions might be made consistent with the public service. He lamented that in the Speech no allusion was made of what were the intentions of the Prince fte gent's Ministers upon the state of the currency of the country. This was an omission for which he was sincerely sorry, because in his it dud no general sv,tem of legil.littioN enuid be adopted tcitl t pre viously ascertaining the nature or the ;:entral cur rency. The Existence of a paper cuur•eney, con vertible into nothing of value, was so anomalous to every principle of government, of political economy, Or Of commerce, that it deranged every part of the system. But the uncertainly P u tt prevailed re sperting• its contuntance, was, if possible, fraught with still greater disadvantages. No superstruc ture could he raised without ..scertaining the basis. It was necessary for the Bunk liirectors, it was ne cessary fur the tradesman, it was necessary for the Legslature limit', that the state of uncertainty should at length terminate. He wis aware, if Ise coosulted the Statute Book, such en intimation might lie thought unnecessary; he was aware that many might conceive him otiresmontible, with the Statute open before him, ascertaining the period when the exclusive paper currency should te►mi nate, in thins requiring • specific assurance On the subject —(Heur, ltear.)-.- But was there a man in the country who felt himself secured on this point, or coal) even speak with (*dainty as to the amount or security of his property ? IVhile seat h I.n oe certainty existed, could their Lordships enter iota a consliteration of the affairs pt the poor, whee.er interests were more deeply involved in this sub ject that many people were well aware of, or how could they engage in • review—whether lirCel airy or not, he should not thus earl . , say—hot while this uncertainty continued, how could their Lordships eligige in a revision of that crud , that dreadful prowl code, of •ehich the means for pre staving the paper curreur•y formed so Loge sun , I { I .
