.4LAR3,II:VG FIRE.

Last night, between the hoUrs of Et and 9 o'clock,
an alarming fire btedre tlit in the warehouses in the
centre of Grosvenor Mews, beloaging to Messrs.
Smith and Tamer, Cabinet-maters, in Road-street.
rrhe warehouses were fided with an itnmense roan-
titn of cabinet work in a finished end unfinished
!stP.:., aide-eat quantities of valuable timber. The
preigrese of the Limes, fed witW such combustible
matter. vas, of course, uncommonly rapid,• and,
ifi a few moments, the atmosphere was in a blaze ;
and the gra had, at -a distance, every appearance of
.a general conflagration in that quarter of the town.
,The warehouses being entirely surrounded by sta-
bles, and only separated from them by a narrow
lane, the greatest apprehension was entertained
that they must become the prey of the flames.
One of the first cares was, therefore, to save the
horses, which, to the number of between 60 and 70,
were taken out of the several stables, and removed to
a place of safety. Meantime the Globe, the Eritisb.
the Sun, Imperial, Phoenix, Royal Exchange, and
several other engines, had arrived, and began to
play upon the burning warehouses. Several Volun-
teer Cr.rps' among whom we observed, the St.
George's, Mary-la-bonne, and Westminster, also
mustered very strong, and proceeded with expedi-
tion to the spot, where, by their exertions, every kind
of pillage and disorder was prevented. In about two
hours the roof' the building, which first toot fire, fell
in with a tremendous crash;hut the engines being well
sill:Tiled with water, and worked with great aai wit y,
began to gain upon the flames. About twelve
o'clock the fire was so far subdued as not to threaten
any further mischief. Scarcely an ankle of value
was saved from the warehouses; the loss of Messrs.
Smith and Turner must therefore be very consider-
able. For several hours after the horses were taken
from the surrounding stables, men were employed in
throwing the hay and oats, saddles, bridle:, into
the y irds. from which they were c trried into tee
street. Fortunately. the aaivity of the engines pre-
vented the fire from extending to them. Much,
however, of the property was datnaged or'd,stroy-
ed in the removal ; and so great was the heat, that
the paint and varnish of several carriages in the
adjoining coach-houses were entirely spoiled. The
Cause of the fire has not been ascertained. There
was no person at work in the warehouses when it
place.

In a few days four troops of the Royal Regiment
of Horse Guards, commanded by the Doke ot tc t• '
Morin, mirch in from Windsor to London, to relieve
the Life Guards. The two regiments of Life
Guards are very soon to he reviewed by the K trio
in Hyde Park, when there will he one of the grand-
est military speCtacles yet ven.
On Saturday, the first battalion Dorset Volun-
teers returned to their respeaive homes from Bland-
ford, to which town they went on the 6th inst. on
permanent duty. On Thursday last, the stßi inst.
they were presented with an elegant pair of' colours,
by their Colonel, the Etta of Diosv ; and on the
same day they were reviewed by General Monaco,
who expressed his entire approbation of the correet-
ness and dexterity with which they performed the
different military marceavres, aod of their steadi-
ness under arms. In the evening, the Earl of Dm-
ay gave a Ball and Supper to about 400 persow.
among whom were. the ()Seers of she Battalion,
and the most resoe.r.table Ladies and Gentlemen of
the town and tvighhonrhood ; and to 60 Privates

HOLLAND.

SPEECH OT H. SCHTIEHELPENNINCM, AT THE OPEN.
INC: OT THE SESSION Of THE STATtiI GENERAL:

" NICK AND MIGHTY LORDS!

" For a long time have our countrymen felt the necessity of
preventing, by the introductio t of a new o:der of things, the
downfall of the tottering edifice of the State. This necessity
was so generally telt, and in so lively a manlier, that I deem it
superfluous and unlit to enlarge upon a troth universally ac.
knowledge(': but it is this general coeviction which holds to
its the rule by which we are to measure the hope which the
nation has again recovered, and the expectation which it
grounds uptes our exertions.
" The burden which we take upon ourselves, and the most
troublesome and painful part of which is to fall upon me, is
heavy. The difficulties in whichithe State is involved are
inailifold and great ; the first proof of our courage will be, to
dare to contemplate those difficulties, such as they actually
exit ; the second not to despair of conquerig them ; that is
to s iv, of the salvation of our country.
" In my opinion, it would be little consistentwith that calm
impartiality and itashaken integrity which must he esteemed in
a Goretnment, to ascend in ally manner, either to the nearer
or to the more remote causes to which we have ta impute the
present situation of our cou,try.
" I deem this the more repugnant to wisdom and equity,
because, whatever partial inconveniencies may have arisen
from individual rrmappreliensions, prejudices. or actions, yet
the main source of our disasters is by no means to be loulted
for in our bosom, but in causes entirely vichout us, and quiet
independent ol us.
" Out' country could not fail, by ita situation and relations,
deeply to partake of the great events which have changed the
whole fare of Fitrope; and the powerful impulses which have
shaken the great bodies situated around us, mtea naturally
cause a scnsiale agitation in our contraticd territory. And
ought we, then, to continue searching into our entrails, or
rendering the wounds of our State more inequable by seeking
alter their cause, in our own Lo in search, incurable,
result of
which would always be exposed to different judgments, always
lead to dangerous reproaches, and would be always must ad-
verse to a conciliation
" No, High and Mighty Lords, let us leave the C3llSef, and
let ms only view the wounds clearly ; solely with intention try
heal them : and permit me, who am now placed at the head
of the Government, to point out the means, and, on this so-
lemn occasion,. to state to your High Miehtinesses, the princi-
ples by which I shall regulate my administration, and which I
deem the moat proper fur securing our political existence
aaroad, and our tranquility at home.
" Among the great at; which I imagine a wise nation ex-
po% of us, I piiiicipally have the following before me mind:—
" la the first place, the putting an end to that state of un-
certainty with respea to our internal governine:.„ which has
long since tired and fatieuesl the people, and which, would
have terminated it despair and dissolution.
" lu the second place, the improvement of the finances of
the country, brought to the brink of absolute ruin, by the con-
sequence of internal troubles, and of ruinons wars.

" And, lastly, the embracing and rnaintaininl a firm politi-
cal .i.tem, calculated according to the situatunk of Europe,
and fit to inspire our allies with confidence, our friends with
good-will, and our enemies with awe.
" When wetshell have attained the two former objets, the
latter (as far as depends on us, and not on events cut of our
power) will be easily attainable, prodded we only take care
that we (always keeping in middle great changes which have
taken place in Europe, and in our relations with our seighhouri)
do convince all nations which surround us, that our welfare and
our provicrity Call never be detrimental to theis, and that they
mar fully depend upon our good faith in fulfilling our engage.

" In older to restore the solidity and energy of our internal
Guveritment, I deem nothing more fit than an unchangeable
attachment to the holy principles of justice; the doing equal
justice to all, withoct difference of rank or oainiona ; the re-
shaping the necessary viguur to the laws, sod the requisite au-
thority, and the ancient respect ID all the lawful authorities ;
lioinage to talents, bravery, and merit ; every possible indulg. ,
tam to misapprehension; inexorable rigour to misdeals.
" The restoration of the finances of the country will be our
most laborious branch. Can you deem it necessary, ['Viand
Mighty Lords, that a melancholy picture theses should be
exrsibired to you on this occasion! or is that sad truth nut sum-
eiently known, that all the present ordinary few-mite of tSe
State is hardly sufficient to pay the interest of oer debts ? and
Can it, after this, he required to add any thing, to make you
feel the grievous date of our finances?
" Without efficacious remedies, there is no possit.le salvation
from so great an evil ; and all the authority granted by the Con-
stitutiou to the Executive Power is absolutely necessary to ar•
rive at these great measures, which, since the orient of the Re-
public, at various periods, have always b.:en desired by great
statesmen, and re: out melided by some; but constantly frustrated
by the of the power,,and the eternal oppuntion either
of prejudice, or of mean self-Interest, erten badly understood.
" Hy those efficacious remedies, High and Mighty I.oloh, 1
dm not be any means aim at a violation of ear engagements.
As little do I aim at an order fin anew arid extraordinary im-
posts. These would, in my judgment, either Ire politically im-
practicable, or end in a genei al emigration of all who can emi-
grate, and in a total corruption of those remaining behind.
And therefore they shall never make a part of the measures
which will be proposed to your High Mightiiiesses to the course
of my Administration.
" The measures 1 aim at, High and Mighty reeds, consist,
on the one hand, in the introducing a much rooter simplicity
in the branches of Administration, and in making very coos-
derable savings; and, on the other hand, and principally, in in-
troducing a nee system of general taxation.
" This system, operating uniformly according to the relative
abilities of the inhabitants in the different dewed', will ►e able
very considerably to increase the resources of the country, as
well by its simplicity as by the certainty of the receiett. This
increase, 'ed with the saving of the expenditure, will enable
the public Treasury regularly to answer all ordinary demands;
and when war, or other evils, require airy extraordinary expences.
they will be raised by such means as will be found the least
pressing upon the public.
" It is towards thew important objects that I wish tartrate the
attention of your High Mightinessee, and in the completion of
which I expect the most earnest assistance from your wisdom ard
patriotism : and in the accomplishment of which, I carmen but
think the people will, in a great measure, re-establish the former
state of affairs.

" I think whit I hays advanced is sufficient for the present
but perhaps your High Mightineses, perhaps the nation, have
a right to examine and consider upon the measures I intend t•
adopt for the redress of thtir grievances, and tise renewing of
their prosperity.
. .

" It ilheedless to say a single word respeilling was inclination
and resolution to sacrifice what is most dear to me, in order to
accomplish so desirable an °hied. This Hall, Paris, Amiens,
and London, can testify my love and azal for my country.
" I have no doubt of succeeding in these undertaking..
My hopes aie founded on Providence, whom I adore, and
whose care and protection we have an often experienced.
" On the calm mason and sound judgment of the nation ;
on that valour winces ever distinguished them; on their good
faith, honour, and inward convitlion, depends this last attempt
to re-establish their happiness.
" It likewise depends on the assistance, and coneard in opi-
nion, of your High Mightinesser; on the wisdom of your re-
solutions ; on the power of your example; and on the Arm-
ness of your courage; objefis in which I innout be disap-
pointed, if I have acquired any knowledge of mankind.
" Finally, it depends on our love for our country, and the
great promises I have of the eminence of the great Napoleon,
that extraordinary genius, who is admired both by friends and
