LON DON,
WEDNESDAY. Aucrst 1.

Yesterday, about twelve o'clock, Het MAJESTY,
and the Princesses Aucusra, Etizsscirti, and
Sop gras, arrived at St. James's Palace from Wind-
sor. His MAJESTY arrived about one o'clock in
his post-chariot. The Royal Party came by_Rich-
mond, to avoid the bustle of Middlesex Eleaion at
l'irenif,,rJ. In a short time after the arrival of His
Maacsrv, the Royal Party retired to the apart•
menu of the Duke of CAMBILIDOE, where they
patina of an elegant refreshment provided by His
Royal Hi3liness for his Royal Parents and Sisters.

After which Wm MAJESTY held a Piivy Council,
which was attended by the

About a quarter past two o'clock, the Council
closed, when the Royal Procession began to be
formed to proceed to the House of Peers to close
the Sessions of Parliament. The first carriages
were filled with Earl MA CCLUT ILL D, the Captain
of the Yeomen of the Guards ; Mr. Visstv, the
Groom in Waiting ; General Huron, the Silver
Stick; Earl Aviuros D, the Lord Steward of the
Household, and the Pages in Welting. In the Mas-
ter of the Horse's carriage were the Earl of HA It-
aiwasos. the Gold Stick in Waiting, and Lord
Stases, the Master of the Robes.
His 14 AJZ,T Y was attended in his State Carriage
by the Marquis of HEITTOSM, the Master of the
Horse, and Lord MOM the Lord in Waiting.—

Just as the Royal Carriage entered St. James's
Park from the Stable Yard Gate. the traces of the
two leading horses broke, which detained the Royal
coach for two or three minutes, when they were re-
paired by the Grooms walking by the side ; and, by
going on a brisk trot, His MAJESTY'S carriage over-
took the othir carriages in a short time.
Her Majesty, the PRINCESSES, the Dukes of
CIINIIIRLARD, DINT, and CAM3atoot, were in the
Garden belonging to the Palace near the wall, and
saluted His MAJESTY as he passed. His MAJESTY
arrived at the House of Peers at a quarter before S.
was announced by a discharge of 15 cannons
from the Lambeth shore, by a signal being given by
one of the artillei ymen, from the top of the House
of Lords, waving a flag. His MAJESTY came out 1
of the House of Peers, at a quarter past three. which
was announced in a similar manner. His Man .T r
was dressed in regimentals ; he apoeared in excel-
lent spirits, and was in constant conversation with
the Noblemen attending him; His MAJESTY is
mach thinner in consequence of his indisposition,
but appeared in perfea health. His MAJESTY was
repeatedly hezzaed as he passed through the Park.
The crowd WAS certainly not so numerous as we
expeßed to see. Soon after four o'clock, the ROYAL
Fawnv left the Palace for Windsor.
A copy of His Mansr y's Speech is in the pre-
ceding column. He read it with a firm af,d audible
voice. The most material part of it. we mean that
in which the continent is alluded to, is worded with
great caution. We shall give our sentiments at
Loge upon it to-morrow.

The Gazette dc Frey.ce, of the 17th inst. contains
an important article. It is a decree otArra,
offering premiums to encourage the land troops to
embark on board his men of war and frigates, and
become expert sailors. At last, after a war of
fourteen months, and repeated boasts, that the crews
of his armada were complete; after France, Italy,
Germany, Holland, and Flanders, have been ex-
hausted by his requisitions of seamen, the tyrant
is obliged to acknowledge that his plans are not
mature, and that he wants the means to can; them
into execution. Neither the zeal, spirit, nor enter-
prise of his slaves are sufficient to made good the
deficiency, and h... is under the necessity of resort-
mg to br we. and reWAIL;>, to create that enthusi-
which his tyranny and Irani have extinguohed
to their breasts. But is mode cf praaising this
