LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 11, 1830. PRICE 7D. (From the Manchester M'ercury.) We do not recollect any event, for m ►ny years past, that has excited so strong a feeling of disappointment in this town and neighbourhood, as the speech which has been put into the King's mouth at the opening of the new Par- liament, and the accompanying declarations of the Prime Minister against any, even the smallest, reform in the representation of the country. The ominous illusion to the differences between the King of the Nether lands and his Belgic auhjects,—even aft r the glosses and explanations which Ministers have chosen to put upon it, —together with a somewhat respectful mode of alluding to the new King of France, hare caused a very general appre hension that Ministers intend to mix themselves up with continental politics in a manner calculated to endanger very greatly the continuance of peace. We have not, however, any very lively apprehension that they will he able to force the nation into a war. Their influence have pro digiously declined since the commencement of the French revolution ; the mercat►tile, manufacturing, and other pro ductive classes of the nation, are now too well informed to be cajoled as they were at that period, and far too power ful to be driven into hostilities against their consent. But what has excited the strongest feeling in this neighbour hood, is the positive and almost angry declaration of the Duke of Wellington against the most trifling reform in Parliament. His Grace can see no defects in the present system of representation, and will heir of no alterations in it I The effect which this declaration has produced amongst men of all classes, and of all parties in this town, is far greater than could have been anticipated by the roost ardent friend of reform. • (From the Liverpool Albion.) The speech which our most gracious Monarch d e liv ere d to his Parliament on Tuesday last, when he ope ne d th e session, maintains the character which speeches front the throne, except on some rare occasions, have uniformly, of late year., exhibited. Its principal topics had been anti- ciliated ; and it contained one or two passages which took the nation by surprise, and which are not calculated to give much satisfaction to the country at large. They con tain a decided condemnation of the late revolutionary movements in Belgium, some harsh epithets being, a t t h e same time, bestowed on the Belgisn people ; and an anti. oration, that the King, in conjunction with his allies, is devising measures for settling the differences between the King of the Netherl aide and his rebellious subjects. Thus, the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of foreign states is virtually abandoned, and the English Go vernment is about to entangle itself in the affairs of the Continent. The royal speech hat been censured, not merely for what it does contain ; it has also been censured for what it does not contain. That the silence of the speech might not, however, he misconstrued, the Duke of Wellington explicitly avowed his admiration of the present system, and his determination to resi s t to th e utmost any attempt on the part of the people to improve, or, rather, to cheapen the Government, by reforming the House of Commons. He is more aristocratic than Earl Grey, if that be possible. He is clearly of opinion, that England could not survive the extinction of " the order;" and seems to wonder that the people do not regard him and his compeers with mere reverence than they have of late manifested towards them. The respect which the people used to entertain for the aristocracy has certainly decreased, and it will, we think, continue to decrease. Yet the people are not hostile to them because of the rank which they hull in the state. They are hostile to the oligarchy because its members have engrossed nearly all the legislative and political power of the state, and becaute by means of this unconstitutional usurpation of authority' they first tax the industrious classes beyond endurance, and then quarter, if not themselves, at least their relations and dependants on the public purse. This conduct and these proceedings have brought the aristocracy into disre pute with the thinking and intelligent people of England. The Duke says, it is true, that he never will consent to reform. We remember that he used to say, he would never consent to emancipation; yet, circumstances corn pencil him to cot his own words, and to carry the very measure againit which he had declared interminable hos tility ! So will he be compelled, if he live and reign a few years longer, to consent to the reform of the House of Commons, the outwork" of " the order to which he belongs." The people will, in the end, be too powerful for the aristocracy, thottA headed by the great Duke him self. Meanwhile, his popularity is gone. (From the Halifax Chronicle.) The Speech delivered by his Majesty to both Houses of Parliament, on Tuesday last, is neither so full, so explicit, and we may add, so interesting as the complicity of fo reign and domestic affairs prepared us to expect. His Majesty commences with a brief allusion to the Oahe of France, which is less remarkable for its brevity than for its obscurity. The French King is designated " King of the French" rather in the way of a sneer than out of regard to the minuteness of official etiquette. But it is in refe rence to the affairs of the Netherlands that the verbose emptiness and unmeaning brevity of this 'loyal Address are more especially conspicuous. His Majesty has " wit nessed with deep regret the state of affairs in the Low Countries." " 1 lament (he continues) that the enlight ened administration of the King should not have proterved his dominions from revolt, and that the ioise and prudent measure of submitting the desires and the complaints of the people to the deliberation of an extraordinary meeting of the States-General should have led to no satisfactory re sult." Now, it appears a little puzzling to connect the two opposite ideas of an enlightened administration and of an insurrection of the administered, upon the strength of grievances partially admitted by the King of the Nether lands himself. Val Maarten and his colleagues were, for aught we know, models of wisdom ; but they had the mis fortune of displaying both folly and obstinacy throughout their proceedioge, Be this as it may, however, we cannot concede the latter p trt of the proposition—that the States- General exhibited either wisdom or prudence in their de liberations. Not knowing the grounds upon which his Majesty and his Allies are to devise the " restoration of tranquillity of the Netherlards," we cannot form any judgment of the mysterious allusion to the " general Trea ties by which the political system of Europe has been esta blished." But thus much we do know, that the nation will never suffer itself to be embroiled in a crusade aptinst Ikl gian independence. hundreds of millions of pounds were spent in placing the Bourbons on the thrones of Frame and Spain ; and what has been the result? Charles X. is a fu gitive and a wanderer, driven to our shores in attempting to stab the liberties which he had sworn to defend ; and Per dinand is rocking in insecurity on his perjury-cemented throne, The next topic relates to the anticipated recog nition of King Miguel of Portugal. " The Portuguese Government," says the Speech, " having determined to perform a great act of justice and humanity by the grant of a general amnesty ; the time will soon arrive for a re newal of diplomatic eel 'dons between the two countries." It is satisfactory to find, from this statement, that his Majesty's Government place such reliance upon the deter• minntions of this - excellent Prince. Some time ago Migut was detertnined to rule his subjects by the provisions i f the Charter ; and in proof of this determination lie re- GPM his dungeon with State prisoners, half-ruined the merchants in the kingdom by en issue of w mete paper calleri s nssignots ; and ended with capturing three vessels belonging to his good ally, the King of England, anti re fusing an indemnity to the owners. That we should injure our commerce by keeping this Prince miler the hart of diplomacy, would be a suicidal piece of policy ; but ad mitting the necessity of the recognition, it might have been as wet to have said nothing of Miguel's relentings, which bet " mock the eye with feigned conceits." His Mtjesty next speaks of the measures of economy and retrenchment, about which so much was said at the close of the last Parliament. With that frank, cordisl, and kind-hearted benevolence, which p .culiarly distinguishes his Majesty, he has made a patriotic surrender to his people of certain pecuniary rights hitherto enjoyed by the Sovereign. Happy would it be fur the country if the Royal example was to be followed by the noble pensioners who, unlike his Majesty, have no rest pretensions to the public money. But it would appear that retrenchment is not to extend beyond the walls of the palace. The same system of costly endowment, to the scandal of public de cencv, and to the shame of those who participate in it, is still to pervade the expenditure ; and no approach to be made to those reforms which Sir James Graham half wrung from a virtually defeated Ministry at the coin meneetnent of this year. Thus much for the opening act of the legislative drama which has greatly disappointed the hopes of the country. (From the Deronport Teleyraph.) The alarm which the first rerding of his Majesty's Speech on the opening of Parliament excited has somewhat subsidid since the Duke of Wellington gave his explana tion in the House of Lords. The Speech openly expressed an intention to interfere with th, affairs of the Nether lands. This was interpreted to mean war; but the mis conception has been cleared up. We shall only interfere in conjunction end in co-operation with France, Austria, Prussia, end !lassie, who are all parties to the Treaty of 1815, which attached Belgium to the kingdom of the Netherlands, and who bound themselves to the main tainance of the compact. Thus has inter erence be come a duty, the omission of which would be more likely to breed war, by creating jealousy among the coinhined powers, should any one in p irticular pursue a sep trate line hf policy ; and however lamentilde is the necessary for putting down the " revolt" of the Belgians, we see that it must be put down. The only difficulty we can perceive in the way, is the possibility of the allies differing among themselves. Another prominent feature in the speech is the contemplated recognition of Don Miguel, upon the condition of his granting a general amnesty to the emi grants. The recognition may be necessary for our com mercial interests, but as for the amnesty, we knew the Portuguese refugees too well to believe that they will put any faith in a ruler who has proved himself so perfidious. The amnesty, therefore, is a dead letter to the great body of Donna Maria's followers. Much surprise has been ex cited by the alPence of any direct allusion in the Speech to Ireland, or to th% principle of Reform, for which a loud cry has been raised throughout the country; but we have enough on these sulijects from all parties in Parliament. The people never expected Ministers to patronise schemes of reform. They know that the boroughtnongers would sacrifice them instantly, and such an immolation of them selves upon the altar of public interest is too much for mo dern virtue. It is only the voice of the people themselves —long, loud, deep, and unanimous—that can ever compel Parliament to set about reforming the Representation. (From the Arottingham Review!) We have this week to present our readers with the anxiously expected ministerial message, commonly called the King's Speech. As'we anticipated nothing from it, we have not been disappointed; but a more meagre and vague composition of equal length, is not to be found. even among the verbiage called King's Speecht s. No reference whatever is made to the fact of the French revolution being effected by the voice of the people, in the same manner that the present reigning family was hrought to the Throne ; but it is alluded to in precisely the same language that might have been used, if Charles X., and all his family bad been carried off by a general mortality, and Louis Philip hail come to the Throne as the natural suc cessor. But if the pattern revolution of France is thus . ungraciously mentioned, what shall we say to the allusions to the affairs of Belgium! We are distinctly told that the present political system of Europe, as parcelled out accord ing to the Metterniah policy, is to be maintained inviolate. The great Duke therefore intends to be meddling in con • tinental affairs, awl risk the possibiliiy of a European war. The word " economy" stands conspicuous in the reference to our domestic affairs; every one knows what it means, a lopping off of the small salaries, while the great sinecu rists remain untouched. The surrender of the Draits of the Crown is what is commonly called a tub to the whale ; the Ministers have persuaded the good natured King that this will appear on his part as a generous consideration for the people; but not one farthing of the money will find find its way to the people's pockets, it will go into the immense fund which is distributed under different names to the tax eaters. The. speech concluded with the usual rigmarole of " conunercial prosperity" after having insulted the people with a talk of disaffection. It is not to the King that they are disaffected ; but in his Ministers they can place no re liance, nor in the Aristocracy, which monopolises the pro ductive energies of the country. No mention whatever is made of teform ; we never expected it. The obstinacy of the dominant faction in opposing the slightest charge, cannot fail to produce a still more gen e ral opinion of the imperative ne c e ss ity o f th e measure which shall restore to the people the power of legislation and of representation ; these sentiments are rapidly diffusing, and they must ulti mately attain that pre-eminence which will render the denial of an efficient reform impossible, however the Duke of Wellington may declare perpetual hostility to any Par liamentaty reform. (Prom the Lichfield Mercury.) We begin with the beginning of all Parliaments, the King's Speech. The present one is remarkable,—aye, and highly to be remarked,--as containing a passage, never recommended by a Minister, nor suggested by a Secretary, but the spontaneous effusion of a benevolent Monarch. We are informed by it, that our King has voluntarily resigned to his people an income of nearly one minion Pounds. May his noble example be followed.by all (anti they are many) who, with less claim on the public public purse, continue to exhaust it ! So much, and brave matter it is, for our King's own part of his own speech. Now for the Minister's part. The question of Regency, a question which ought have been settled before, is recommended fur consideration. Discontent anddisaffection among the loyal race of Englishmen is admitted, and a fulmi nating paragraph follows against the discontented and dia.. affeeted—but no allusion is made to the causes of discowent and disaffection: We should like to know when the Eng lish nation was disaffected, with a popular Monarch on the Throne, unless an unpopular Ministry presided over that Grace of Wellington is " determined the natton's Councils? The MiniisthternitallrpAarlitieolf,tthheossiewegcelnierrn; forms us also, l to maintain, i n con j unct i on w ie t s h ' at our war-worn country e giald Medi'!" which e re?a i t ' i l t i . t s i , c a a t i el sy :l e ta ni t is thus called upon to uphold? Is the useless and forgotten treaty of Vienna these,Tres p olitical systemsh ab:err; among %bents—or is the Holy Alliance at Laybach, scorned by wise men and hated by free men throughout Europe, to ba resuscitated by 4nglibh tneatb.ror than the otOle4 of Verona which consigned Genoa to the despotic rule of a Prince of Sardinia, be thought worthy of support by the most free and most Protestant nstion in Europe—or is it the later treaty of Paris, concocted by Emperors and sealed by the Duke of Wellington himself, the mightiest warrior of the age, but disso'ved . tbe ever by three days' movemeet of a Pat is populace, that is now to rouse the energies of th e British nation intaa &fence of the presumed " Politi cal system of Europe?" The treaties we hare mentioned are the only treaties we know—and what they have done for " the best security for the repose of the world" we leave our readers to find out, from the convulsions of France and Belgium. The allusion to these treaties, in the King's speech, have a scent of war : and in this opinion we are backed by the Premier's speech, and by still better autho rity, namely the most interested and therefore the most clear-sighted persons, the fundhoblers. We have done with his Majesty's speech in its miuisterial chat Hetet ; and in adverting to the Minister's own personal speech, we have time only to point out one fewure in it. The Duke of Wel.ington declares that " no measure of Reform shall be proposed by Government as long as he is at the head of it." And this in deft Ince of public opinion, and the pro. sent alarming exhibition of tbst opinion. Is this wise ? (From tie Itull Packet.) The columns of our present number contain his Ma j.sty's most gracious Speech on the assembling of Parlia ment. For ourselves, We ate bound to confess, we feel in clined to agree with tho.e who consider it in some respects a very unsatisfactory document, awl one which will cause a c.msiderable degree of anxiety throughout tie country. Notwithstanding the disclaimer of Sir It. Peel, its tone 14 obviously warlike, or tending to war, in regard to Bel gium; and at the present period, it is morally impossible to devise a measure more unpopular, more dreaded by all el .saes of his Majesty's snbjectr, than war. The contexts of the speech, viz. the declarations of the Ministry in their places in Parliament, are anything but c-nsolatory ; the announcement of Sir Robert, that no inquiry is to be in stituted into the distresses of the labouring classes, is not likely to meet approbation at the present period. The sweeping denunciation of the Duke against reform in Par liament, at a time when that question is becoming daily more popular, is unwise and impolitic, and his confidence eXpre , sed in the present state of the representation, rash and unbecoming. (From the Stamford News.) A Parliament, which we do not hesitate to predict will before long hurl this country into all the horrors of a re volution, or save it permanently from them, commenced its important functions on Tuesday. Never dill a Parlia ment sit with more anxious eyes fixed upon it than the Parliament now sitting. Never was that usually silly thing—a King's Speech—expected with more impatient*, and never, we venture to assert, was any one of those silly things t ead with more disappointment by the vast body of the people. "IT WON'T Do," according to the daily pa pers, was the universal exclamation in London; in Not tingham we hear the people intend publicly to burn it; in • Stamford, we trust, our friends will make a better use of ;—let it, however, be recollected, that it is not the speech of the exalted, and we believe warm-hearted indi vidual who fills the throne, but merely of his Ministers. Unlike his Majesty's own warm heart and quick percep tion, the man who compos , d this trash must have bad a bosom of adamant. The Speech commences by stating that the Government " had not hesitated to continue diplomatic relations with the French Court," alter the tyrant Charles had been compelled to fly before the liberal Philip. To this there is no objection, except as to the uneeurtly coldness in which it is expressed. The speech goes on to "lament" that the "enlightened" ad ministrstion of the King of Holland should not have pre ,erved his dominions front wok. " His dominions!" Pray who gave hint those dominions? the will of the people or the will of a Holy Allitnee? And then to lament that his "enlightened" administration—" enlight ened," indeed, when they lost every move they made— "enlightened," when they put out the light of the press and put down the trial by Jury--" enlighteued," when, to conciliate a people that were theoretically equal to the people of Holland, they allowed none hut Dutch wen to rule over them,—very "enlightened, forsooth !" but then the subjects are rebels, they " revolted," and our King is male to " lament" their revolt. Away with such " is mentations." We have no room for more. Toe infa mous monster, Miguel, is to be recognized. The King has give up the West-India duties, and the l)roits of the Admiralty, to the country, (the only good thing in the sreeb)—without a word, however, as to the reduction of taxation ;—not a word of the miseries and disturbances of Ireland ;—not a word about the all-paramount subject of Reform !—On the last great subject we call the attention of our readers, to the declaration of the Duke of Welling ton against it, once and for ever. No wonder the people of London boot him in the streets—no wonder the funds fall, and a panic prevails on the Stock Exchange, where men even buy awl sell by the signs of ae times ;--on wonder the people of Nottingham are in tumult and rage; we are at " the beginning of the end." (Puma the Dumfries Courier.) The Parliamentary campaign opened on Tuesday, and already gives note of a busy, stormy, and moat eventful se►sion. Though no division has yet taken place to indi cate the relative strength of partied, the elements of die. cord are abundantly rife in the House of Commons; and even on the supposition that the Duke of Wellington hes purFosely thrown reform overboard, as the price of the adhesion of the anti-Catholic part of the ultra-Tories, he must at the same time perceive, that his general popularity is again on the wane, and that he is far from reclining on a bed of roses. Regarding the King's speech, it is not, we think, too much to a ty, that it has die printed the just expectations of the nation. Indeed we recollect no similar document that has been more sharply criticised. (From the Scotsman.) - • - - The new French Revolution is alluded to in the King's Speech, in terms cautiously guarded, which neither expreis dislike nor approval. In speaking of the revolution in Belgium the language is very different, and in our Opinion both reprehensible and impolitic. The movement in that country is called a " revolt against a King whose ad ministration was enlightened." Now what right ha; Our Government to erect itself into a judge of the conduct of the Belgians in their internal concerns? William Frederick wits placed over that people by external force. It was his first duty to adapt his Government to their temper and character, which no nation can change in a short course of years, any more than it can modify its stature or com plexion. If the King could nut do this, he did not under stand his trade, and justly forfeited his office, because he was unfit to fill it. A revolt! The Belgians are acting in one united mass ; and there, c►n he no revolt or rebel lion of a whole people. But our Government is about to arbitrate between the nation and their quondam ruler. How imprudent, bow mask, was it in these circumstances to condemn one of the parties beforehand ! Besides, con trast the strong terms of reproach applied to the people in Belgium, with the abstinence from the slightest expression of Maine in speaking of the criminal act of Charles the Tenth —where the wrongdoer was a King. Call you this impar tiality? The Belgians, we hope, will get justice, hut our faith is in the Government of France, not in our own, after such a declaration. The surrender by his Majesty of the Droits of Admiralty, the Four-and dt-half per Cent. We►t India duty, and other casual perquisites of Royalty, to Parliament, is an act worthy of our good, liberal, and Ile.. servedly popular King. The amendment moved by the Marquis of Blandford was too eccentric and Ultra-Radical to. be of any service. Its nnly supporter was Mr. O'Con nell. Mr. Hume spoke with a degree of keenness, which spews, if we are not mistaken, that his opinion of the spirit and views of the Duke of Wellington's administration, is materially changed from what it was a few monthe ago. Mr. Brougham made a powerful speech, and it will he ob served, that he is to bring forward the question of Reform on Tuesday the Itith. O'Connell, who enjoys the distine' tion of furnishing matter for an entire paragraph of the King's Speech, defended himself with greater success thaw ' usual. (From the Glasgow Chronicle.) The first speech of the new King in opening Parliament verifies none of the hopes fondly held by patriotic credulity. It says little of retrenchment; nothing of reduced taxa tion ; nothing of Parliamentary Reform ; nothing of any great measure to turn to beneficial industry the unem ployed pelt of the people. Instead of ptomising Ants for the mitigation of misery, it announces only coercion for disorder, nod prosecution for Wiliam In Foreign affair" it is still more unsatisfactory. N ut a w ar d i s sa id about the flagitious violation of the Charter, which pro ►luced the expulsion of Charles X ; but th e change at sovereigns is drily owed. In intimating the fortheutuing „ • . . rnogaition of Don Miguel, that " act.* not:ascribed, ai it ought to be, to the right of eery s,tatitO'etitolditili.' own form of Government ; but ii ei!S,Pply4utdl itp,tm an amnesty which has been extorted froOt that .Coatempfilde Monarch. it styles this amnesty ” a great Winleoffustiee and humanity ;" although it be notorious chat the men to whom it applies have not committed the ahaJow of legal offence. We recollect no instance of a more w.Anton mis application of good words. The most impolt:ic however, of the speech, relates to the Netherlands. The side of the King of Holland is warmly espoused. Thu Administration, whose measures have so disgusted the Belgians, is termed " enlightened." The British Sove reign laments and regrets the state of affairs in " theiow Countries ;" engages, with his Allies, in devising means for tranquillizing " the Netherlands ;" and is det e rmined to aid them in maintaining the treaties by which Europe was portioned out at their pleasure. (From the Glasgow Free Press.) The result is known. Parliament has commenced operation, the King's Speech has been delivered; and— Ministers remain the old Ministers, aid Parliament the. old Parliament still ! Those who expected a little front the King's Speech, and some little also from "his faith ful Comtnons" (would that they were the faithful Gem mono of the people !) have found theinselves wofully dis appointed. His Majesty relinquishes a little of the in come over which he himself has direct contiol,---an act for which he deserves all praise, inasmuch as this must have proceeded spontaneously from his own generosity, and not from the desire or suggestion of his Ministers; but in every other respect, his Address can be regarde I only as an extinguisher of all those hopes which the people had entertained of his Government conforming itself to public opinion, and carrying into effect those palutety oteasures, which cannot now he deferred but at the risk of eonvol elan. Not one word is tittered on the subject of Irel,nil, although that country at present threatens us with civil war, and has just been placed beyond the pale of constitu. Lionel law, and under a system of military ordonnances; nor is a single word vouchsafed relative to those die eremite in this island, which already have provoked a *mile war in Kent, which threatens soon to spread over the whole country; neither is the slightest al lusion made to that system of Parliamentary corruption front which all these hideous eels spring', and for the removal of which the best and the wisest of the age are now in oft parts raising their yokes, and combiOing their energlem, Good God ! And this is the kind of assuasive need by Alinistare to allay that storm which is itirw gathereii around them in portentous darkness ? Are all lessons of the past entirely lost upon them? flare they drawn no moral from the events of the lest few months? Are they ignorant that the :nays of the people are starring, and %%ell know the reason why ? And has neither experience nor philosophy taught them the general truth, that a people• thus circumstanced, never yet selunitted to lie down quietly and surrender life, without a last desperate effort to preserve it? lt cannot be that sheer ignorance on thee,' polo, leads to the present temerity of Ministers. The teeth we believe is, that the leading aristocrats and boroughmongers, alarmed at the recent events on the Continent, and at the rapid spread of the spirit of Reform in this country, have at length, as their only remaining hope, given in their adhesion too our military premier, on condition that he should make the stiff! he has thus made aphid the intelligence and wants of the age, flow will the country brook this? We almost tremble to content. plate the effects it may produce. As is justly remark, d by The Sun, in reference to this ominous coalition between his Grace and a party an obnoxious, "at this very moment they both stand upon the crater of a volcano; which has already ►hreatened, and may ere long explode. Will they not retrace their steps, and, by so doing, ►ecure their own and their country's safety? A writ-6 from the Doke in favour of Reform ;. a pledge, unequivocal n:►d decided, in favour of strictest retrenchment, may yet do Poch; for though the dock is on the hour of Twelve, it has not thank God, yet struck." (From the Dublin Morning Register.) We have a very brief ohset vation to make relative tq 'l4 Royal Speech. The last, wc said, was the best we eves' read—•this is, incomparably, the worst. Every thing was, expected—and it promises nothing. It-,expresses gentle lamentation at the conflagrations in Kent, hut breaks forth in emphatic tied 'rations of •e grief upd indioution" in reference to Ireland, where there is certainly an active movement of tongues and pees, but in all other respect* so profound a tranquillity as never (Mfg re exist d. Its. lesions to France and Belgium would be dishearten::►ae if France and B,lgium was in a condition to care one p►.. , about them. We speak of the document, of course, as the composition of an incapable and misguided Minister. We are convinced it is less than any speech that ever proceeded from the Throne en emanation from the• mind of our imtriut king. (From the Waterford Chronicle.) Taking this production as the speech of the. 13titi41 Minioers, we pronounce it to' be a most unmeaning awl unsetiefactory document 4 Miins are to b$ devised for I. restoring good Government in the Netherlands r but we advise bits Highness to rector* " goal government" at home, before he exercises his benevolent* in behelf of foreign stares. There is a determination expreastql in the Mpete to " maintain those general treaties by which the politics) system of Europe has been established. H this has any meaning, it is, that oppressed Poland shall rennin* under the Russian yoke--that the descendauts of Fabius and Ciucinnatni shall he eternally trod upon by the-iron hoof of Austrian despotism—that Belgium shall be recoil onered for the detested House of Nassau, and that France shall have once more imposed on her, by congregated despots and their hired mercenaries, " a legitimate Sovereign." These were the dispositions mask at the Us►ngreas of Verona, and it is to this "general treaty," we preeutne, that the Kind's Speech alludes; but this is, in part, a dream of the Dictator's, which be will never see realivd. The speech promisee economy, but what do our readers suppose will be the kind saving effeteel by this promised economy ? A London Paper mays, One Hundred Thotorand Pounds a•year---and this off an expenditure of Sixty Millions an nually !! ! There is no intention whatever manifested in the speech to relieve the country un !er its present state of distress and suffering ; and so we must console ourselves, like the Milennarians, by the hope that the and consum mation of all things will put an end to our calamities , . The Speech, however, would nut be coos►plete if it did not contain a promise to recognise that atrocious monster, I)on Miguel, as King of Portugal. The reason assigned for this recognition is worthy of such *rolls as Welling ton's and Aberdeen's. It is, because thin Royal Felon has "determined to grant a general amnesty !" Au amnesty to whom? To the en►all resonant of those noble spirits whose fathers, uncles, and brothers, he had either hinged, shut, or transported to Africa. An amnesty to men who owed hint no allegiance, but who were contending for the rights of their lawful sovereign ! The Paris Journals complain bitterly of the Stamp Duties, and the charges of the NW Office. " liberty of the daily press is annihilated," rtaye the Condi tutionnel, " if the Stamp Duty and Post-office Duty are not reduced one-half it least." They have been obliged to enlarge the size of their papers, to he able to report the proceedings of the Chamber of Peers, tee. and " in such a position we must necessarily increase our subscription, or cease to publish. To increase the subseripthin would he to diminish the number of subscribers, and con sequently the number of readers, and thereby impair its utility." They look forward to the ettrainuation of the dismission on M. liovones motion respecting the Prra , , as a teat of the dispositions of Ministers. The French have not been &Merit by the big leering* of ill. King`e Speech. "We believe (says the Consfitoliontort) in the continuation of peat% not because the great Powers pre- Nre fur war, but becalms peace is still more the iuterest of the Governments than the wish of the people. . • To interfere in favour of the Governments would Ie leave France no other alternative than to declare against her natural Allies, or to interline in behalf of the Na tions ; her position and her principles sufficiently tell on which aisle the tri-eoloured etanderd would wave."

(From the Brighton Guardian.) The King's speech, which we published last Wednesday, has disappointed the public. We may even say—judging from the fall it immediately occasioned in the Funds, and from the opinions in different parts of the country—that it produced general consternafon. Giving no specific pledge of reduction in the nation it expenditure, but merely mocking the hopes of the people by one of those vague and unmeaning declarations*" The Estimates for the en siling year will be prepared with that strict regal(' to eco nomy which I am determined to enforce in every branch of the Public Expenditure,"—which have been repeate every session of Parliament within the memory of the ge neration ;—containing no allusion to that reform in the Church and State, of which the people are anxiously de sirous;—speaking of the misery of the peasantry in Eng land and Ireland, which makes them the ready tools of wickedness, only to threaten it with the now bug-beer terrors o f l a w ;—saying not one kindly word tending to relieve their distress,—describing the great event in France which has completely altered all the relations of all the Governments of Europe, both iu respect to one another and in rt lotion to their subjects, as if it were a mere eh ‘nge of Ambassadors; describing, too, ain .hostility evinced by the people throughout Europe to their tax-in tiicting ru'ers, which has for one thing upset the throne of the King's near relation, only "as appe trances of tumult and disorder ;"—stigrnatixing the Belgians, who have only snapped asunder the fetters of the Holy Alliance, they (owing and p tying no voluntary allegiance to the King of the Netherland,) a. revolters and rebels, the Kink saying —"I am endeavouring in concert with my Allies to devise such means of restoring tranquillity as may be com patible with the good government of the Netherlauls anti with the future security of other States,"—which is un derstood to imply the restoration of the Stadthohler's power, and to threaten war;—and, above all things, boasting of the loyalty and affectionate attachment of the great body of time people, at the very time when in Ireland and in the Southern counties there are a)mptoms almost of open revolt against the laws, anti when writings at tacking time constitution and demanding reform ate pub lished in every town in the kingdom. All these circum stances mark this speech, in relation to the extraordinary times in which we live anti the great, events which have lately occurred, as one of the most imbecile productions that any set of ignorant anti besotted Ministers ever put into the mouth of a Sovereign. We did not suppose that any men, in time habit of watching time course of 'society; —that any men who took a newly 'per in their hands, once a week even,—could have betrayed such marked ig norance of all the events of the world and of the opinions of men. this day were published, in vol. 8 " . with Plates from original Drevringa,, price 144. boards, I - 1E BOSCOBEL TR.
