MONDAY, NOVEMBER 29.

ON Tuesday the Parliament was opened by the
Prince Regent in person, and never we believe did
it commence its deliberations under more awful cir-
cumstances. The question is not one of minor
eonsideration ; it is not only whether a
.Whig or
Tory Adnunittistration shall be in office (though we
believe it intimately connected with that point) .but
it resolves itself into the consideration of—shall the
people be deprived of their liberties, and the Con-
stitution that !Heiken longthe boast of this country,
and the envy of all 'others ; or shall they still en-
joy them.; shall Government sustain itself by the
sabre and bayonet, or by the deserved and willing
obedience of the nation ; shall the Head of that
Government be made the means of carrying violent
measures by unconstitutional coercion ; or shall he
by retracing his steps be again considered as the
father of his people.
In the review of the Parliamentary proceedings
hitherto, our limits oblige us to be brief. We are sure
that the speeches of Earl Grey and Mr. Tierney
will be read with delight, while a very
small share of discernment w2l be sufficient
to enable our readers to perceive that those of
Lords Sidmouth and Castlereagh arc compounded
of gross and glaring falselumaes, and mean and
shallow sophiery. They declare the meeting
at Manchester to have been illegal ; that the
the charges of cruelty had been negatived ; that the
forms required by the Riot Act were gone throngh,
and that not a single life had been lost in conse-
quence of the blows of the Yeomanry ! ! !! When
men can stand betinv Parliament and unblushingly
assert what every body knows to be false we would
ask what reliance ought to be placed upon their ho-
nesty. That such wasthe case onTuesday night with
Lords Sidmouth and Castlereagh, we think we have
quoted enough to prove, but if we have not we beg
to refer our readers to their respective speeches.
A mass of papers has been laid before the two-
Ilouses relative to the state of the nation.—We
presume that Ministers, like the managers of our

Theatres, are aware of the necessity they are un-
der of calling in the aid of Novelty in their opera-
tions; they therefore now spurn the idea of Green
Bags, they hold iti contempt. in the present in-
stance, all secret Committees (perhaps so tar they
agree with the general sense of the people, Mille
.'secret Committees are so infamously, so notoriously
packed, as to uniformly insure a ministerial ma-
jority), and call on the two Houses to act from the
notorious situation of the country—should they do
so in the only way that can be justified on the
broad principles of patriotism they will take means
to dislodge the prtsent lucnsts of the country ;
they will address the Regent to form a new
administration, they will take all. meansto conciliate
the people, they will decrease expenditure instead of
increasing, the army, and then the Government will
once more be looked up to as the English Govern-
ment always ought to be, by the English people,
with reliance and with confidence—that it is so
now by the unbiassed part of the country, the most
impudent Tory will hardly dare to-assert.

His Royal Highness the Prince Regent has
!stely received &um the Empe►or of Russia a very
curious tiair.o heeled summer carriage, culled
druschki. It consists of a front and a ►ale scat, con-
trived in a new but very commodious manncr for
two persuns. It possesses the moveable axles, which
arc now very generally adopted throughout the
Coutincnt.
