A Member under the gallery made a few remarks,
which were so inaudible, that we could only eche,
that he concurred in the observations of the Noble

LONDON,
SATURDAY, APRIL 10, MC

The interest with which the public would natu-
rally direct their attention to a new Ktio's tint
Speech to his Parliament, cannot, under the pecu-
liar circumstances of his present MAJESTY'S SOC•
crspion, be felt so strongly us if his MAJESTY were
unacquainted with the toils of goireamment. Our
present . KING has already, is effect, reigned for
I yews, his constitutional advisers remain un-
changed, and as the Speech from the Throne is
uniformly the exclusive production of the Cabinet,
it could not be expected in the present instance to
differ in its general tendency from these which she
. Ministers of the Crown have for the few last years
induced the Palace Ratner to otter.

It was. however, desirable that the new reign
should open with an appearance of unanimity on
the part of the Legislative Bodies, and the Cabinet.
therefore. is framing the Speech. wisely abstained,
as much as ass possible, from expressing in it any
political 'ninnies:us winch might provoke • differ-
ence of opinisu. In this object they succeeded,
but much of their seeress must also be ascribed to
the moderation and forbearance of the Opposition,
whom a sense of delicacy to their new Nino with.
held from nicely canvassing some of the sentiments
contained in the Speech. Had not the Opposition
been strongly itiatreoced by this feeling. they could
never have concurred in an Address which conipli.
mented the date Parliament for its " wisdom and
firmness.' sod. in contradiction to the evidence of
faits, affirmed that the measures which they ably,
but unsuccessfully resisted, have al greatly con-
tributed to restore confidence throughout the king-
dom, and to discountenance the principles of sedi-
tion and irreligion." It was since those measures
were enacted that. as the Speech declare*. " the
machinations and designs of the disaffected have led
in some parts of the country to sets of open via-
lence and insurrection." mid that the knives of a
desperate gang of assassins were raised, with a
terrific contempt of every social and religious
duty. over the beads of bis Adojesty'a Ministers.
His MAJESTY 'was graciously pleased to inform
his Parliament. that the estimates for the present
year have been framed upon principles of strict
economy, but that the slate of the country renders
it necessary to issaintain those additions to the
military force which were announced to Parliament
at the comusencemeut of the last Session. These
additions have sever formally received the sanction
of the. two Houses. This is but an indifferent as-
sonnet of economy at a moment when the revenue
merely amount* to the expenditure. and leaves Ile
surplus fora sinking fund. We are also apprised
that, under the present circumstances of the coon.
try, his 111111114111 TV dues not desire any arrangement
of the Civil List " that might lead to the iliperilies
of new hardens" upon the people. or that ■ny
addition should be inutile to the settlement adopted
by Parliament. in 11316. The Civil List. as este.
blished by the Act of the Stith of the late Kum,
amounted to 1,083,727/. which sum woo then set
the most fibersl view of the subject considered
fully ablest, to meet all the expenses of the Civil

of the Civil List. irompared with what it was in

were formerly ;mid to certsiu branches of the Royal
Family out of the Civil List. amounting to 38M/el.
were transferred from the Civil List to the charge
upon the Consolidated Food. The amount of the
Civil List. as established in 1816, was very fit
greater 111011 ever it was st any previous period of
OW history ; for although in the reign of J *l4 Et 11.
it amounted to about 54000,0001. it mud be re.
membered that out of this sow the fleet and army

were 4100.000/. His MAJISTY consents to give
up his hereditary revenues. •s was stone by his
Royal Father. to the control of Parliament. This
circumstance is undoubtedly a cettain advantage to
the public; but the equivalent given for them by
Parliament is much larger. soul received in a much
more satisfactory manner by the Crown, than could
be derived from them if those revenues were re-
tained wader the sole management of the Royal
authority.

On Monday next the CHANCELLOR of the Ex-
CHXQUER will present to the Hume of Commons
the Resolutions embracing the arrangements of the
Civil List. Mr. VANSITTART !imposts that they
should he discussed on Thu►sdsy. It is tot pro-
bable thet they will experience much opposition.

The Society of the Jesuits has beets finally expelled

to the Emperor ALCILANDIR on the 25th of homt

Jesuits against the laws, social amid ecclesiastic..l,
and recommending that they should be immedi.

The Emperor approved of the proposition, and

Sentence of death in the usual manner wits
yesterday pronounced at the Old Bailey, by Ilse
Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench, upon the
eleven unfortunate men who have been convicted,
or have pleaded guiby on the charge of high
orison. Of these it is however probable that
nut more than five will be executed, and that the
other six will experience hi• MAJatery's merry, on
condition of perpetual banishment. The dreadful
atrocity of their crime in devising the murder of
fourteen Noblemen end Gentlemen to them un-
known, stands unparalleled in the annals of guilt,
mud prevents the mind from entertaining with re-
spect to them any of those feelings of compassion
for their fate which are alinost uniformly, though
perhaps involuntarily, excited by the contempla-
tion of men in their unhappy condition.
