LON DON,
WEDNESDAY, JAME:ART 24. 1821.

His MAJESTY yesterday opened the Session of
Parliament with a Speech from the Thuile. It is
remarkable for its conciliatory spirit mid modem-
limo. It professes a desire to secure the continuance
of peace—it unnouncrs some reduction in our mill.
Lary establishments—it recommends a new arrange-
ment for the QUEEN—awI it professes his Ma-
I Urn', firmest relistice upon the affectionate and
loyal attachment of his people to his person
and Goverimielit.—The Kum's Speech is consti-
littionally con►idered the Speech of his Ministers,
but this Speech has all the appearance of one
dictated by the Opposition and the People. His
MAJESTY. we find, can pronounce the word
r• Queen" very articulately, that difficult word
which stuck in the throats of all his MAJESTY'S
Miters ; for which Leh! CAEVLERF.AGN was oblig-
ed to invent the paraphrase " this Illustrious Lady,"
mid a Learned LORD CHANCELLOR, still move de-
fective in the organ of speech, substituted the
courtly phrase, " this woman." We yesterday
prepared our readers fur the recantation of Minis-
ter., but we did not anticipate it to so erect an extent.
To propose so urrangement fur a QUEEN, whom
they have been long studs ing to degrade as u woman
below the most wretched of her sex; to congratu-
late a people upon their loyalty and attachment
to the Throne, whom they have long charged
with blasphemy and disaffection, was a transition
too sudden and revol.ing to chum' ready credit.
This, however, is not the first time the love of place
has worked wonders in the seine quarter. Minis-
ters have proved on several occasions that they will
swallow their own words, retrace their steps, slid
abjure their own creed, to keep themwleee in office.
Wr congratulate the country on the statement
made last night in the House of Lords by the
Earl of LIVERPOOL, that the supplies for the pre.
sent year will be provided without creating soy acts
stock. The proposed reduction in the gettersl ex-
penditure must be very considerable to effect this
i.urpose.

We have received Paris Pipers of the 20th.
The Chambers present nothing of any interest.

MILAN. JANUARY 10.

Last Moodily, at midnight, the English Colonel
Brown (who is charged to receive the depositions in
the care of the King of England) was assassinated on
leaving the Theatre by two persons unknown, who
inflicted six stabs of a poniard. One of diem said
to him, on stopping him, " Brown, this is the lost
moment of our life." Thinking him devil they
fled. The Colonel, however, was carried home,
