IMPERML PARLIAMENT.
11011 SF. LOEDSTIIISDAY, JAN. 15.
At three o'clock, His Majesty went down, in Ole
tisual state, to the House of Peers, in which, the
Sword of State was borne by Lord Hawkesbnry,
and being seated on the Throne, the Gentleman
Usher of tie Black Rod was sent to command the
attendance of the Commons, who forthwith ap-
peared at the Bar, with the Speaker at their head.
The King then opened the Session of Parliament
with the following Speech from the Throne:
" 315 Lords mid Gentienoti,
" Since the mid of the hot St,:inn, the prepaiatiuos of the
Enemy, for the invasion of this kiogdom, have been contiained
with ioceralot aCtivity, but no attempt has been made to carry
their repeated menaces iistocifect.

" The skill and intrepidity of my Nary, the respectable and
formidable state of say Army and Militia, the unabated zeal
and improved diyciplioe of a numerous Volunteer Force, and
tbe general ardour manifested by all clones of my sabiecti,
hay.: indeed been sufficient to deter them front yo prrsurnp-
. tildes and desperate an enterprise.
" WO
.tb.j• win; continua' tr) animal* thestoestry, and
its voluntary exertions for is own defeuce subsist in their full
vigour, we need not fear the cousequences of the most power-
ful efforts on the put of the etlehllV. But let us never forget
that oar security has arisen from tha resolution with which we
have Diet and provided agait.st the danger, and, that it can
be prmeived only by steady perscoerance and utiremitting ac-
tivity.
" The conduct of the Court of Spain, evidently and •r the
predominant influence and controul of France, compelled me
to take prompt and decisive nizasures to guard against the ef-
fects of hostility. I have, at the same time, endeavouted, as
long as it was possible, to prevent the necessity of a rupture;
bet, 'n consequence of the refusal of a satisfactory explaoation,
my Minister quitted Madrid, end WAI has since been declared
by Spain against this country.
" I have directed a copy of the Mainfeyto which !have c lim-
ed to be prepared on this occasion to be laid before you, toge-
ther with such papers as are necessary to explain the discus-
sions which have taken place between me and the Court of
Madrid. You will, I trust, be convinced by them, that my for-
bearance has been carried to the utmost extent which the it.
taestsof my dominions would admit ; and, while I lament the
' situation of Spain, involved in hostiliti.ta control, to its true in-
terests, I rely with confideoce on mint vigorous supportaii a
contest which eat be attributed only to the unfortunate preva-
lence of French corisels:
" The general conduct of the French Government on the
Condnerit of Europe has been marked by the tenni:A violence
and outrage, and has shnwit a wanton defian, i of the rights
of Neutral Territories, of the ackpowledged privileges of ac
credited Ministers, 4144 of the estaLlishud f rinciples of the Laws

of Nations.
" Notwithstanding the transaainns, so repugnant to every
sentiment of moderation and justice, I have recently rec,,,ited
LA eowmuutituien Avon the Vretich th•vernrr•,eut, comatutng

profe.sions of a pacific disposition.
" I have in consequence expresed my earnest delire to em-
brace the first opportunity of restoring the blessings of sea..e,
on such grounds as may he consistent with the perma..ent
safety and intermes of my dominions; but I am confident you
will agree with me, that those objects are elo‘ely connected
wills the general security of Europe. I have therefore not
thought it right to enter into any mare particular explanation,
without previous communication with those Powers in the
Continent with whom I am engaged in cotifi•lent'al intercourie
and connection, with a view to tl.at 'moo:Milt object, and
especially with the Emperor of Russia, who has given the
strongest proofs of the wise and dignified sentiment: by which
hats animated, and of the warm interest which he take, in the
safety an I Independence of Europe.
so Gentlemen orate House Comment,
" liver! direfted the F.4tiTatel for the PuLl:c cervice to be
laid b .fare you r I regret the necessity of any additional bur-
then' being imposed ou my People ; but I am sari: you will be
sensible how much their future safety and hcppiness depend an
the vigour of ontexertions,and that, in the mode of raisins the
Supplies, you will continue tosheriv your anxiety for the sup-
port of pubic credit, and for restraints;, as much as possible,
the 3,CUMUI ition of the National Debt.
" Mq LOrfit and Gentlemen, •
"In comidering the great efforts and sacrifices which the
name of the t.attest requires, it is a peculiar satisfen.ion to me
to ewers, the many proofs of the Internal wealth and prospe-
rity of the country. It will, I as sere, he your great obj-ft
to maintain and improve these advantages, ant at this same
time to tike 411 such measures, as, by enabling me to prosecute,
the War with vigour, ma! &RUM the brit prospea of bringing
it to a safe and liiiiiourabla t•v urination."
After which His Nlajerty, with his Royal Suite,
retited from the House.
Lord Viscount Sidmouth (late the Right Hon.
Henry Addington) was introduced with the ac-
customed formalities, sworn, and took leis seat.
4 lis Lordship's supporters were Viscounts Went-
worth and Sydney.
Lord St. Ataph (son of the Earl of Ashburnham,
lately called up to the House by that tide), was
also Introduced with the usual forms, and supported
by Lords Rivers and Walsingham.
Lord Caledon (one of the newly eleAed Irish
Representative Peers) took the oaths and his seat.
An Officer from the Clerk of the Crown's Office,
in Ireland, presented at the Bar the necessary docu-
ments, respeAing the. EleAion of Lord Caledon, as
one of the Irish Representative Peers.
After a short interval, the Lours CHANCT.LLOR.
read a Copy of His ISlajeszy's Speech to both
Houses, and which was, as usual, afterwarls read by
the Clet k at the Table.
THE ADDRESS.
Lord ELIOT rose for the purpose of moving an
I Address oa tlse occasion of Ills Majesty's most gra-

,I

!~

(PitteE SIXPENCI.

cions communication from the Throne, which they
had just heard read. In the course of his prefatory
&genii. the Noble Lord touched upon the leadin-
Mpics in the Royal communication ; the first of
which, he observed. was one so' closely connetediwith
the genuine principles of loyalty and patriotism,
that he thought there could not be one discordant
voice in that House, or indeed throughout the coun-
try. He held it neediesS, therefore, to trouble their
Lordships upon that topic. With respea to the
consideration of the Address, he should have the
honour to propose, being in stria conformity to the
general pose:lice of the I louse on similar oeciaions, •
he thought it would be found unohjeaiouahle on
that head. There war, one prominent topic in lii:
Majesty's Royal communication, on which, it: ais i
felt confident, chore could exist but one seutiniant
among their Lordships. He alluded to the,so much
talked of invasion on the part of the enemy, and on
which, it was with pleasure, satisfaction, and pride.
their Lordships had to consider, was not yet even
attempted to be carried into effed. This, however,
it should be observed, was not owing to any want of
preparation on the part of the enemy, but to be at-
tributed to the vigour and exertions manifested by
His Majesty's Government in providing for the de-
fence and secutity of the country. There wets
such augmentations in this respea, as left a large
disposable force for external operations ; and
the gratitude of the country was due to the pa-
triotism
of the Volunteers, who seemed anxious.
for the glory of the British Empire.--There
was one important topic in His Majesty's
Speech, and which, as far as the circumstances of
the ca-a^ warranted, was of course adverted to in the
proposal Address, on which he should have to de-
precate all premature discussion. He alluded to the ,
question of war with Spain, on which lie should .
forbear all detailed observation, as the necessary
papers and documents for its due elucidation were
not yet before the House. Whenever that question,
so illustrated, came regularly before the 'louse,
then could their Lordships determine upon its
merits, in a regular and Parliamentary way. At
the same time, he thought it not going too far to
say, that, from a consideration of fads of acknow-
ledged notoriety, the political merits of the question
may be appreciated. It was notorious, that our
enemy derived great pecuniary succours from Spain;
and this circumstance alone would throw a great
light on the merits of the question. His Lordship
adverted to the comparative situation of thetas! are
now, and at the commencement of the war, which
was incalculably in favour of the former ; and the
House would recoiled the menaces and insulting
language then 'held by our inveterate and implacable
enemy. He then alluded to the recent qvertures of
A pacific nature, received by His Majesty, and
which heightened the contrast of the situation of --
the country, at the different periods to which he
had called their Lordships' attention ; and on
this, with whatever views it was made, on
the part of the enemy, whether insidious pur-
poses of distradion or embarrassment, the line
of policy adopted by His Majesty's Govern-
` mint on the occasion was such as wisdom and
sound discretion obviously diaated. lie trusted,
therefore, the exertions of Government would not
be relaxed. After commenting nn some of the sub-
ordinate topics in the speech, in reference to which,
he spoke in approbation of the measures of Minis-
ters, his Lordship concluded with moving the
Addsess, which, as usual, corresponded to the royal
communication from the throne.
Lord GWYDIR, in seconding the Address,
touched upon, and ably enforced, the leading pro-
positions advanced by the Noble Mover. As an
Englishman, he observed, he had listened with per-
lea composure and tranquillity to the vain-glorious
boasts of the enemy. who, notwithstanding, was
uniformly compelled to shelter his armaments a, d
flotillas under the proteaing cannon on his own
shores. He generally approved of the measures
taken by His Majesty's Government on recent
occasions ; and, with respea to Spain, it appeared to
him that a farther forbearance would, in effea, be
assisting the enemy with the wealth of that nation.
The present, however, was obviously not the time
for the discussion of that subjea. With realm& to
the late overtures, lie agreed with the Noble Mover
of the Address, that, in whatever spirit or view ea:
proposition was made, it a ould he highly imoolizi
to relax a 1 atom in our exertions ; by inch a lira of
condua alone, could a peace, consistent with the in-
terests of humanity, of Europe, and the honour and
security of this country, be effeduated. The con-
duit of our adversaries was such. as left.this country
no other choice than instant hostilities or lasting
degradation. To this convietion the national mind
was open, and its feeling affeded ; the renewal of the
war was therefore unanimously applauded ; and
the transaainns of the two last years justified the
wisdom of ueh a decision. Fe-ling, as he did, for
the dignity of His Majesty's Crown, and the honatir
of the British Nation, lie had presumed to second
the proposed Address; and had to thank their Lord-
ships for the flattering attention with which they
honoured him.
The E try of CARLISLE assured their Lordships
he had no wish to interrupt that unanimity which
seemed to prevail. but, part of what had fallen from
the Noble Meyer and Seconder of the Address ren-
dered it, he thought, incumbent on him to offer a
few observations. Ha had particularly to advert to
the question of the Spanish war, on which, unin-
formed as their Lordships then confessedly were, it
was wrong to offer any opinion. A perk& silence
on that head, in the Address, he thought, would be
preferable. They should forbear giving any thing
like a pledge as to their judgment of the affair, and
their Lordships should recollect that the notoriety
of fads formed no regular Parliamentary ground
