temporary, a n d t h at :w i t hi n a S h or t time he should be enabled to gratify their wis h. He trusted, flier A?re, that the House woul d give him credit forliaving- Said as much upon - the OccaAion as was consistent with hiS diziy, and that he' had hewn a disposition to make a full chmmunication to the House. The Hon. • Gent:eman then adverted to that part of His Majesty's Speech which expressed a hopc, that such His . Majesty's deluded Subjects, as had been seduced from their allegiance, would, by comparing the'different degrees of freedom and happiness enjoyed by those Who live 4 under the British; and those who lived under the French Go- Vtrnment, be brought back to a sense of their duty. This the Hon. Gentleman considered as conveying the idea that the late Insurreetion was entirely in_ litigated by France ; and he had contended that we litight,to do justice even to rebels, the leaders of Whom had denied a wish to introduce the French principles 'and 'g overnment into that Country. He new. perfeCtly well that declarations had been made by some of the persons who weir Considered as leaders in the late Rebellion in Ireland, that they did not mean %y their Insurreetion to further the views of the French Goverrunent in Ireland, but he was bound in troth to add, that if the same deck. ration had been made by all of those persons, it Would not have been true. There certainly was•a . - connexion between persons concerned in that Re. bellion in Ireland, and others in France, who wish. ed to introduce that form of government which had represented in His IVl.4jesty's Speech as form. ing a'contrAst with the British Constitution, He -7" • meant, therefore, to say, th at that dectarattow,. though made ,hy some - of these persons in a Way that did tan lead him to doubt thtm, could not have • been made with truth by all the persons concerned in that Conspi s a aj ;. I n t he former . Rebellion in Ireland, he believed that Most' of cheer Who were engaged in it, did not wish 'to establish the French 'Government in Ireland ; but they were desirous of borrowing, the aid of France to enable - theth establish their own principles, which must ultL. mately end in their becoming the slaves of France. It was therefore by no means unfit that the People of haul& whatever their views might be, should be apprized of the conseqoence that 'must result from their soliciting the aid-of France anti led to ompare the different principles of :he two Govern. ments, by which means they • iwould see the misery whichstheir conduct} Would tend to bring upon their Country, The Hon. Gentleman had said, that we • o ught to exPres . s our.wishe s that tranquillity . might be 'restored in Ireland, rather than our hopes that it wits restored. F r his own parts he not onl y entertained-Wishes but the' moat )tinguine hopes, that the comparison which the People :of Ireland roust have' made between the,,a,v4o. 'pottered change in- die' opinions,' not of all, but of a considerable number of those who had been se. duced from theit - allegianee. With regard to what the Hon. Gentleman had sold about the probability 'of any 'change in the. se n t i ments o f t h e P eop l e o f t h at Country, as it was at present circumstanced, how far it would be proper at present to agitate Such a question, it would be for the Haute to determine. Vor his oWn part, lie was not aware of the poseibi of discussing the situation of the People of Ire. land at present in the Way the lion, Gentleman wi shed, with any possible atlviUnage. Upon the propriety Of keeping their minds free from any pre: r •lice upon t hi s su bj e d, it was not necessary to 'give any pledge.. lie .certainly would keep bis tnihd in an unprejudiced state, and it the subject Should be bronght into diseussion, he would listen attentively to the arguments of others, and state temperately his own opinions. He was not aware !that there 'were any other emints in the speech of the non. Gentleman, to which it was necessary for him to adsert. lie felt great satisfaction in the. per . ' 4 . l 'inn that the 'dispoaitiott which the Hon. Gentle. man had manifested, was that which prevailed throughout the Howe, viz. to,carry to the foot of the Throne their unanimous determination vigour. cushy to - support Hie Majefry at this momentous crisis. Ai there was therefore no probability of any tiffterenee of oPinitin, it was not necessary for bim to trespass any longeramon their attention.; Sir FRANCIS 73URDE7"r said, it was not his 'lntention to disturb the unanimity of the House, by giving any opposition to the Address, but he' rose to call their attention to a subject cif very great ha portance, and which seemed to him iodic comieded in some degree with' the crestiots thetounder diScos. lion. The •subjed to cs hich he alluded, was an evil which had, sprung nut of the V ,lonteer System, "which had been the theme of so-much prai s e, and boon - which he did ,not mean to 'throw any blame. Without giving any opinion upon the general sys. tem, it appeared to hint that very serious evils tnighe arise from it if they. were not checked in time. He should therefore think that he had aitic done his duty. to the Public, if he did not tall the: troition of thr flottse anti of Ministers tO . llte ilea. He begoed leave before he proceeded any farther (in or& r to prevent misconception, or what was mire j r b,hle , misrepresentatio n ) to say, that lie had no intenti-in of crimioating the Volunteers of: this Country, r even the Corps of whi c h h e m eant to complain. There were . many circumstences arising froni the present state of Affairs which might exculpate them, but nothirg could exculpate Ali. ,sisters if they did not prevent this evil from spread. Lig. He held in bis hand an . Address from the Committee of the Volunteers of St. Giles's and St. 'eorge's': this Paper, appeared to him to be drawn op in a manner-calculatcd to extort money from the Inhabitants: of tbat Parish, beyood what they ih"ught prier' to subscribe for the Corps. This' Paper 1 1 , reatened, that.the names of such as would not subscribe - should be published. This threat ex tended to old and iefirm persons, and even to the either sex, if they did not come forward with fur thee subscript ions, If Volunteer Corps -were to be allowed to come forward with atoi in their , hands to ache for money to he expended upon themselves, • ft would prodiice the worst consequences, and mien ultimately tend to subvert the Constitution. This Was a matter of such importance that he thoug h t it necessary to call the attention of Ministers .to it, be mire hope that they would render • it unnecessary for him to tnention it again. With respea to the Corp s in luesti a" , , Ire agaio repeated that lie did not nieart to criminate theme: their motives might be 'txcelleptaa-they might be mistaken t and it there 1C33 any bl*e it wted Wit}, Ministers, OM had adopted the neans of defence, andthen had left.the Volunteers with arms . in their hands, to provide for themselves. If this inondy'was necessary, why did not Ministers provide it for them through the medium of that House ? He did not mean to , enter into any eompari , ons between Volunteers and Rego - . lar Soldiers, which mighr.be used for the purpose of attack, without which there could be no secure de fence. Having made these observations, not with any hostility to the persons in question, but feeling the danger that 'might ensue, if this prgetice was not, checked, he would nor, as he had before stated, disturb the unanimity of the House by opposing the Address. . The quest ion was - - then "put upon the-Address, Which was' greed to nem. eon. and a Committee was appointed to draw up the, same. , Adjourned at half past fi ve o'clock till To- mor row.

'errs' left St. James's Palace in His State Coach, and proceeded with the accustomed pomp to the ll , use of Peers, where he opened the Session of Parliament with a Most Gracious Speech front the Throne. The S; , eech aid the Proceedings of both Houies will be found in another part of our Paper. .• . • The Speich touches upon those topics . which would readily have presented themselves to corn. mon refietlion anti observation. There was ample room for congratulation on the noble Spirit of the Nation, ready 'to make every Sicrifice for the pre. servati:qt of.our inestimable blessings, and Ministers have very wisely made that a prominent feature of the , Speech.— . —lt was due to the paternal feelings of the Sovereign th;tt it should be so, who is never so happy a s when an opportunity presents itseil of express. ing those feelings, and of i!entifying his own in. terests with those of his Pe , :plc. That part of His Speech, in which His Maj.!sty, in a most impres. sive and affecting Manner 'delivers his sentiments upon this point, will be read with mingled •senia. tions of gratitude and affettion. which words he. come wholly inaderluate to express, but which every loyal Briton will feel and understand., It Will be seen that very little was last night said in either House of Parliament. Neither the St each nor the Address could admit of nbjeflion. able remark, except', perhaps, for the emir:jeer of the former. These, it will be seen, Mr. Fox in one or two instances adverted to, and intimated an intention of making them the subject of future dis. cession. That much important discussion must arise, seems in the present circumstances almost a mind certainty, but :we are happy in perceiving that the Address 'to the Throne ut least, passed with unanimity,; The F.nerny will properly learn, that however we may differ in opinion. with respelt to certain interior arrangements that even while IIotSAPARTR'S feeble political OppOnent,cdritinttes to guide the heltn, the . utmost unanimity prevails urn in every question that to the principle of the War with France. Its conduel, as far it con. terns ourselves, is a, distindi consideration, .which there will be many opportunities no doubt of here. after distussing. Upon this point indeed it' is 'im. possible that a great deal should not be said. Mr Fox's slight animadversions, to the cm;.f. slims 'in the Speech,' produced a disclosure from the CIIANCRLIMIt Of the EXPREZI RR, of the corn. plete,, failure of the intercession of the Court of Sr. Petersburgh to produce an amicable arrangement between this Country and France. It was impos. sible, indeed, to conceive that any such intercession soul be efficacious for such an (Neil,, but'at the same time the steps of cur Cabinet with tespea to it, remain to be disclosed to the Nation. We shall be happy to find that they were direded by wisdom, and consonant with the high spirit which the Bri. tish Nation has uniformly displayed since the commencement olthe present Contest, The attendance in neither House was last night so full as was expelled. In the House of Commons from 160 to 180 'Members might be present. Ms. PITT, as we have already announced to the Public, is prevented from attendance at the present moment by. his Corps being called out upon perma. vent duty for three Weeks. Those who know, anti every one ,may. conceive, how much his personal attendance is conducive to the public service in the Distria where he resides, which la, in 1841, the advanced post of the Cciuntry, will readily admit that he hai a mtrit legitimate cause of absence from his Parliamentary Doty, even, at a crisis like time present.
