LON DON,
MONDAY. FEBRUARY 4, 1822.

On Saturday evening, about six o'clock. his MA-
MITT arrived at his Palace iu Pall.assll from his
1 Palace at Brighton.

Parliament will be opened to-morrow by the
KING in person, and as it will be the first occasion
of his Winne/ meeting his Parliament since his
coronation, the august ceremony will be performed
with the utmost magnificence. Speculation has
been very busy in regard to the probable character
of the opening Speech, and the Stock Exchange
experienced on Saturday some of its beneficial
effects. It is generally believed that with respect
to foreign affairs the Speech will be of • pacific
tendency. There has been of late • very ac-
tive interchange of couriers between the Court
of Carlton House and the Cabinets of the
principal Continental Powers, and we are as-
sured that the Ministers entertain the firmest
hopes that the peace of Europe will not be dis-
turbed. In the negocistions between Russia and
the Porte, Great Britain hes taken a very promi-
nent part, and it has not been concealed that her
efforts have been strenuously directed towards the
preservation or general tranquillity. To Turkey,
therefore, our Government has appeared in the
character of a friend ; bet should the interests of
Greece be sacrificed to the preservation of Turkey,
humanity will have no cease to exult in the success
our exertions.
The domestit concerns of the empire must, how-
ever, form the topics of most immediate interest,
attdthe Speech, no doubt, will be framed in a man-
