IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

Yesterday being day . prorogs-
tic'', of Parliament by the King in person, the
streets leading to Westminster displayed an unusual
scene of bustle and preparation. At an early hour
the spectators thronged to and about Charing-cross.
Parlisment-street. and Palace-yard. A guard was
thr, &nal the police attended in sufficient force to
preserve order and enforce the directions of the
state officers. By eleven o'clock the carrines be-
gan to drop down towards Westminster Hall, and
by twelve formed a long procession, reaching from
the farther corner of the buildings nearly to Bridge-
street, tilled with fashionable company, the ladies in
full dress. with feathers and diamonds. About one
o'clock a few of the Peep alighted, being chiefly
such as were connected either with the Cabinet or
the Household, in Court suits and liveries. Shortly
after a guard, consisting of a detachment of the
Oxford Bluer, in their full uniform, took their sta-
tion in the area between the Haase of Lords and
l'oet.'-coraer. • _

At twenty minutes before two his Majesty quitted
Craton House with the customary state, and ou
entering Pall-mall was greeted with the loudest
suclamations, in which an ranks seemed alike en-
thusiastically to join. The same demonstrations of
loyalty sad 'Weems were manifested throughout his
Majesty's progress, and evidently afforded him the
highest gratification. He repeatedly bowed and
smiled to the populace. flaring conic down in his
robes, the customary ceremony of robing became
unnecessary, and his Majesty immediately proceed-
sl to the House, where the Peers were already as-
sembled. lie was attended by the Deputy Earl
Marshal, the Chamberlain, end the Duke of Wel-
Loon°, who bore the Sword of State. His Ma-
jesty appeared to be full of health, and with spirits
highly animated, which was further manifested by
the firm slid vigorous tone with which he pronounced
his Address to the assembled Parliament. Ou
alighting at the House of Peers the event was an•
siouliced to the metropolis by the discharge of ord-
nance from the opposite bank of the river.

HOUSE OF LORDS.
The doors were opened at twelve o'clock ; im.

humbly preying his Majesty's concurrence to the
Bills which he had the honour to present :m.An
Act for the Appropriation of Supplies granted to
his Majesty ; the Irish Tithe Leasing Act; and the
Caledonian Asylum Act.
The titles of the Bills were then read, and his
Majesty's assent was given to them.
His Majesty then proceeded to sddrees the Lords
and Gentlemen as follows

The SPEAKiIIt entered the House about ten roi:

At two o'clock Sir Teems IiseWHITT, Usher

"Mr. Speaker—His Majesty commands the at-

About twenty minutes after two the SPBALIM

returned into the House, and, standing at the table,
said, " if there are suy gentlemen who have not

eginenhes. It is an answer in full, by
anticiPion, to the deliberations of the threatened
Veronese Congress. It intimates that the Govern-
ment of these kingdoms has oo intent of meddling
with that most dangerous and obnoxious question
which has been held forth as the ground-work of
the deliberations. Indeed it is but common jus-
tice to the ministry to remark, that the fierce-
ness of the politics which pledged this country
to so many presumptuous, if not ridiculous and
impracticable object., et the Vienna Congress,
has altogether abated, and the business of State
is conducted with► • more decent observance
of the wants and wishes of the people, than era
in the days of what was called " vigorous admiui-
stration." Our State deeds shew something of seri-
ousness and forbearance, much more fitting the
mortified and distressed condition of the national
resources. It is not a little to the credit of the
ministry, that they have received the lesson of the
great rnonitress, Adversity, in season, and have
profited by it in the amendment of their outward
politics, instead of going to extremes on a line
badly chosen, the further pursuit of which must,
under all circumstances, have placed the country
et the mercy of foreign conquest, after nearly ruin-
ing the country to prevent the distant probability
of it. Another such Treaty as that of Vienna, toe
gether with any thing like the negative contequeeces
of it, and our imbecility, would be as clearly de-
monstrated to Europe, as that of the Spanish fac-
tion against the constitution is at present. We
prophecy, that if the Marquis reaches Verona in
quality of Plenipotentiary, he will not spend three
hours in an oration, whether in good or had French,
to exhort the assembled Princes into another Holy
League.
The Nimes Speech is chiefly remarkable for its
brevity. We wish Ministers had contrived to throw
into it • little novelty. His MAJCITY has repeat-
edly declared, that to unite in brotherly affection
all classes, is an object which he has ever had at
heart. That be is also gratified to find that his
people have been relieved from some of their
burdeni, is also what might have been expected
from his goodness. We wish that Ministers could
have summoned up candour and fortitude enough
to have confessed they had declared in the early
part of the Session, that • diminution of those
burdens would afford no relief, sod that the dimi-
nution which has beeu effected, was wrung from
them by the energy and perseverance of the Oppo•
shims in Ilse House of Commons.

" that. if the projects of the insurgents bad not
been defeated, foreign armies would have made a
movement in advance; but what would have been
the consequence ? This army of so or 60,000 men
could scarcely have occupied two provinces, and
would have had to encounter an army entirely
liberal, composed of 60,000 regular, 80,000 mi-
litia, who have been on foot in twenty days, and
100,000 notional guards completely organised,
without reckoning more than 300,000 guerillas,
accustomed to military service. Every pro-
vince, in case of invasion, would form a separate
government, as in 1808; Cadiz would be an impe-

netrible fortress, in which the Kiug and the Cotta
might be secure. Against such resources, what

that the dissatisfaction which the Sultan's sister bad *been
at the massacres of Seto induced tie Salta. to behead the
Governor of that island. But every owe knows that it was
sot he, but the Capital Pacha, who caused the island to be
racked.

The most of the wives of Ali Paeha of Janina, who hal

of the Sultan. it is probable teat his lawful wife, t►e ale.

German Papers to the 31st last have anived.
The following are extracts:—

His Majesty's squadron, which sailed from this
port on the 15th of June, arrived on the 28th of the
same month at Tunis. It experienced the most
friendly reception from the Turks. The fort of La
Gotette saluted the squadron with 21 guns, which
were returned with an equal number, and the fort
hoisted the flag of the Pachs, in compliment to the
Admiral. There is every reason to bops that the
appearance of a squadron at Tunis will produce the
most beneficial effects to our commerce, and the
merchants yho are established there have already
felt the advantages of it.

ODESSA, JULY 7.
The news of the destruction of the Captain
Packs has excited the most enthusiastic joy Isere,
and it is not doubted that tbis event will have the
most beneficial consequences for the Greeks ; but
it may be imagined what an impression it will make
on d.c mind of the Sultan : we mast be prepared
for horrible excesses. The extirpation of the
Greeks, which was resolved upon, and which was to
be accomplished under the cover of un amnesty,
and, as it were, sanctioned by the European Am-
bassadors, has opened the:eyes of the Greeks. An
amnesty, and laying down their arms, would be
certain death. The Turks will often repeat the
scenes at Scio. Thus we have still unfavourable
accounts of the state of Constantinople after the
reception of that bad news, but we have no accounts
by sea, as not a vessel from the capital has arrived
fur several days.
