This afternoon the Speech, der:ldling certain far ther causes for holding the Parliament, was deliver ed by the Couttnissionerg appointed by his Royal Highness the PRENCR Utoonwr.—The following, we believe, will be Could to be a corred account of the Substance of it t .— , It begins with stating, that " in execution of the Conimission which had been just read, the Commis sioners were commanded by his Royal /Ugliness to say, that his /loyal Highnesi laments, nut only in common with all his Majesty's subjects, but in a more kvculiar degree on his own account, the great national calamity which has imposed the duly upon his Royal Highness. " His /loyal Highness is aware of difficulties attendant upon lino important trust reposed in biro but - he looks with coi,fidence to the wisdom and zeal of Parliament, and to the attachment of his Majes- ifs faithful people. His Royal Highness will use his best efforts to 'dire& the powers invtstal in him towards becuring the prosperity and wcitate Of the cOuntry. " His Royal Hiss informs them with great satisfactiou; that tlesh oppOrtunities have been af forded (44in:iota% the valour and skill of his Ma jesty's /toms. Fite captures of Bourbon and JaVa have still further. les , ened the enemy's colonies. " The chief objcii of the efforts of this Country, during the last year, has been Portugal awl Cadiz ; and the objects of the enemy, on those points, have been hitherto defeated. The military merit of Lord WiLottsoTota, and the discipline and courage, of his Army, have been very etnittent, and have produced the best etietts upon 'he consdad of our Allies. c , His Royal Highness hopes that lie shall Jae enabled to afford to Stain and Portugal a continu- VICO .of that support which their energy appear to deserve, and upon which so tnucht of their ultimate success must depettd. €1 Wilt regard to . America, the Speech states, that hit Ilny4 flightless will be very happy if he shall be able to bring the Nlociation to a favour able conclusion. always regarding what is due to the rights .aud interests of his Majesty and his d oin i. Woos. 0 ‘ The invasion of Sicily, so presumptuously pro. raised, has been defeated by the perseverance and bravery of his Majesty's Cotten, assisted by the troops and subjeCts of his Sicilian IVlAjvsty. " He acquaint% the House of COMMOTIS, that the Estimates wal be laid before them : and though in Ireland, and lotion,* slight degree its this country, the revenue appears to feel some of the obstacles thrown la the way of our commerce, yet, upon the !bete, ti* revenue of this country. has been more proda9ive than ever was before known, and this increase has taken place without any additional taX. " Hi,t Royal Highness expresses his confidence that the usual supplies will be granted to him fur the necessary support of the war in which we are engaged, and of the different branches of the public service. His Royal Highnesi concludes with expressing in the strongest manner his anxiety for his Ma_ „ jesty's recovery ccom all inoisposition aftlitting to all his subj#4.3s, but in a nearer arid ilzuru peculiar degree to his itoyal . Trighness himself.” As we predicted, our naval superiority in the In &at' Seas was immediately re-established, after the capture or the Venue, by Commodore Rowt.nY, and the recapture of the 4fricaime &lid Ceylon frigates by that gallant oflicor, who has so eminently distil): guished himself in that quarter. The over sloop is arrived from the Isle of Bow. bon, w:tich place site , 'at on the 4th Ocloher, and t;,e Cope on the 24th November. The Nisus, with Admiral BKATIE'S flag, was at St. Paul's waiting the aarri`•al of the E f xpedition front India, and the det4chment front the Clip., the whole of which it was ex pected, would be assetnbled at the" tixed rendovous about the middle of November 'when au itutwdiatc attack was to be made , on the Isle of France, the result of which we may expe& to bear in the course of three week s or a month a farthest. The Motidaus and rha;le would proceed with a dethchnvnt of troops; the artillery and ordnance stores from the Cape, and it wait supposed that a very large naval force would convoy ike armament trout Ii dia. Tile interesting proceedings of the Isle of France will be in the Gazette nf this evening. Ititelligeticeliss &Celt bt - o.ight by Ow Oiler, that the Faidie country ship, trout Madras, commanded by Captain DESTEIt Rs, late of the United Kingdom, was left at St. Helena. ri appears that pv;vate accounts had been received at the Cape, stating, that the Astal and Uzißiam Pitt arrived at Madras the 3d and sth August, and that the Earl Camden had unfortunately been burnt in Bombay harbour. The PRINCE REGENT had another Court yester. day at Carlton House, when the Speech with which the business of Parliament is thif day to be opened was laid before him, and received his most gracious and entire approbation. His Royal Highness left town tins morning for Windsor, for the purpose of having an interview with his MAJESTY. A report was yesterday very industriously and very confidently circulated, that accounts of a very alarm ing nature had been received from Ireland. It is not difficult to guess the motives of those who in rent such reports, but we are happy to assure oar readers that it is wholly Unfounded. An ilnholt Alaii arrived this day. The contents are of little importance. • The Grand. V.zier, it is stated, in ap article dated Semlin, Jan. 12, was en deavouring to renew.; negociations with Russia, but was in the mean time strengthening his army with the addition of 50,000 men, It is also said that Turkey means to solicit the mediation of France. The Captain Pacha, according to an article dated Vienna, Jan. 12, pa*ses the winter, with his fleet, at Constantinoplee, and the Grand Vizier leaves part of his army in the iii reached camp at Sebumla. By an at ticledated Stralsund, Jan. 10, it appears, that in consequence of Sweden having declared war with England, BuokAPARTII permits the importa tion of grain from Pomerania into that country, and Swedish produce into France. The French Vice Con6ll had besides communicated sentiments of friendship and benevolence from the French Ruler to Sweden.- Hostilities had recommenced between Turkey and Russia, but not aaively. The Reis Ez INDS had not, as reported, arrived at the adigian head• (palters. The Russian General had proposed the town of Bucharest to carry on negociation4, and the Russian Ministers had arrived there for that purpose, expeaing an answer from the Divan. The Danioh Government had ordered the issue of a new paper money of the value of 24 shillings, upon the ex. tivaion of bills of the value of 12 and 28. The Morning enronicle has this morning adverted to our observations upon the article in that Paper reseeding the state of Ireland, but it has cautiously *voided giving us a direr answer. An Saturday the lgerning Chronicle stated, that the cause of the disturbances in Ireland was the relusaf to comply with . the claims of the, Roman Catholics, ',thereby in sinnating that they were the authors of all. those outages. Does the Morning Chronicle Mesa to persist in that assertion ? If it be true, the conduct of the Irish Catholics cannot be defended : if it lie false, the whole argument of the Morning Chronicle falls to the ground. It is contended heat it is fai r to state the errors of Ministers, and to recapitulate the grievances of Ireland.' So it is; but then, on . the other band, those errors ought to be stated cor rectly and the 'erievances ought not to be exag gerated. We maintain, that the Mor4ing Chronicle did gtve4 most unfair and unfounded statement re,. specting the situation of the Irish Catholics, and that its language was calculated to produce the very . evils which. it affected to dePlore, and to inflame the passions of those whoni it represented to be practising outrage and meditating rebellion.. We adverted, on Saturday and 'yesterday to the modifica tion of the Arms Act, and the repeal of the Insur rection Act, in order to show that Government were anxious to conciliate Ireland, and to extend to the Peopl e of that Couetry , the benefits of the Cututi tution. The Aber:iv Chronicle altogether over 'looks the Arms Act, though several of its most severe clauses were repealed and it adds, that the Insurreaion Aa was brought in by the present Mi nisters when' they came into office. We admit that , it was, and we coutend that Mite readineis of the Irish Goverumen: !o repeal onel.oi their own Acts of Parliarnee.t, when they found it was unnecessary, Is a stronger 'proof of their desire to conciliate, th im if it hid been an aa elf their predecessors. In point of fact, though Sir ARTEFUR WELLR'LRY did when he came into office propose the Ineurrection Act, we are not very much mistaken, if the draft of the Bill had not been prepared by the nuke-of BED roan's Goveinment; and left by them when they went out of cake. We have not room at present to pursue thig subject farther, but we (oust enter our pruteit against a prtctice which th• Chronide has -adopted, of describing the Irish Roman Catholics as constituting Ireland, and excluding the whole Pro testant populati, iu from all consideration. The following observations, which are eitreeted from the Dublin Nee shaper, The Pebiot, are so perfea.y in unison with our own, that we are anxi ous to lay them before our Readert., 7he Pabiot , in commetiong upon an article in an English Paper, which insinuated :hat if the claims of the Trial Ca tholics were not granted, they would endeaVour to obtain them by force, says, 14 The English Editor has not hesitated to lib, l the whole bady itf Ro man. Catholics, in order to intimidate the Govern ment, by insinuating, that if the Petition of the Catholic Gentry for a full participation of the poli tical powers of the State, be not instantly 'complied with, the Catholics will not be restrained from a combined and offensive 'expression of their sen timents,' in plain Euelish, from Rebellion. if the writer for the English Paper be, like too many of his fellow-joernalists in England; total ly ignorant of the state of this country, and lets forthed this opinion, which he has. had the hirdi-' hood 10 Utter, from a perusal of the violent de bales in the Catholic 'Committee, we will then inform him, that the most respectable part of the Catholic 'body, and all the Country Gentlemen of any rank or fortune, of their persuasion; disapprove of and candyina the intetrverance and folly'of the Dubin) Junta, styling kelt the Committee of the Catholics of beland. The Catholic Gentry of Ireland, and . the Alerchants, with perhaps a few exceptions, have too much loyalty, too much uro perty to lose, and too much attachment to the Sate and the constitution, under which they enjoy so many blessings and advantages, to hazard their loss by any vision.iry prospeas of political distinaions: weieh, if even opened to them, they might never be able to attain. This description'of -Roman Club°. lies deprecate Rebellion as much as the Protestants or Presbyterians of Ireland, as they have as flinch to lose, namely, their all ; and as to 'the lower or ders of the Catholics, some of them may be goaded by their wicked and unprincipled exciters, if they be not checked in time, into further axis of outrage, and possibly into partial insnrreaion-e-the conse queece of which will be, that they will lose their lives in the field or on the gallows, and their leaders will again, as in i 798, to We theirs, betray them ; and although any movement in Ireland which they might excite, would for a short time distract the attention of England, injure the trade of Ireland, and promote the designs of the most detestable Tyrant that ever scourged the hemen race, yet the wicked attempt would prove utterly abortive, and would finally bring down destru6tion upon all those involv ed in it—for it should never be - forgotten that all the former rebellions have ended in the ruin of the country, and in the discnmfiture and .disgrace of those who were implicated in them, and as they have always been put down by the Loyalists, aided by the whole power of . England, who has always been ready to spend, for the preservation of Ireland, her last guinea and her last man ; and, as Sir WILLIAM Parry has observed; " ther a e ny ate, exploit an d ever will be, in England, men ready for and change, either by being discontented with their present condition, or otherwise well inclined to the service, more than sufficient to quell any insurrec tion which the Irish who may rebel Can make and abide by." Yesterday, at one O'clock, a Privy C, uncil was held at Carleton HoOtte, when all the Cabinet hii nitters attended, and at which the PRINCE 4ttoarrr presided. The Speech fur opening Parliament by Commission, was taken into consideration ; and, from the great length of time that the Council sat, it was imagined that some pans of ;t must have undergone considerable discussion. At the close of the Council, the LOil CHANCELLOR received the PRINCE REGENT'S co t,ds to a ffi x the Great Seal to the Commission (or opening he which will be done in a speech by the CHANCELLOR IG both Houses this dey. The Council, which was held in the Grand Sa. loon, was attended by.
