MS MAJESTY.

The following is all extract from the speech of
Baron Smith to the Grand Jury of the comity of
%Veldt'''.4th at the late A••'zea et Mu

Gentlemen, without preteading to dictate to you me *
matter not within my prosiest., (She limits or ',hien I sever
imentionally stop short of, or exceed,) 1 may venture to
sermon. that there is an extra drily, which you are likely to
think yourselves called upon to perform : I mean that of
preparmg a dutiful and loyal address to the King, me his
Majesty's accession. In resent, the commencrasent of
the most auspicious reign is top better than a thrioil of hope
and promise; but the case of our present Monarch stainla
on different and higher grounds ; and our lowering expecta-
tions of the (store seem lo repose on nor solid experience of
the past. Fm about feu years past wear Sovereign has been
wielding the powers of the Crown, which it is use his richt
to wear; and surely we may affirm, that in She lung moulds
of the empire, an brighter or more glorious period, than this
decade could be found.

bute justice, as well as I sin able, amongst my fellow•enb-
jrets of all parties sod ))) ions; and think I may do this
with more real, and more appa►ent impartiality, by ab-
staining, as far as t►e thing is practicable, from political
opiaioiss of my own. Accordingly, ►hough I osier affected
to be a politician, I have long since sremird myself from all
subjects of the kind. I may however ay, that a here so mach
glory has been gained, the course and coauci Is which produced
it are ratified to our praise ; and the Councils, thus success-
ful, were the Retrial's choice. That the efforts, ►hich our tri-
umphs oust us have beets productive of some ex haust ion, from
which the present posture of affairs may not be calculated
at once to recruit us, this perhaps we may have to meets,
and to deplore. But I have seldom fousid this part of the
subject viewed with candour. We ought to look from what
we safer, to what we have romped. The sight will silence

Sovereign too his Giber—contemplatitig himself smiler the
double aspect of son goad ►objt et, his pule stare appear to
have been filial piety and allegiance.
It would seen as if, considering himself a mere Lieute-
newt of the Realm, he hto cis each mermen Iris istcrurtd

attend Pureed, touter the circunwtatices would have brew.
It would seem as if the hope which he fondly cheri.tud
was, wheat it should piratic God to restore Ins father to
hie reason and his throne, to oirrendtr up to him his owe
principles of*Goverionent saniarnished ; wuchanges made to
which he would have been violently •verse; but whew be

lost the reins of government ; his throne surrounded by
the uswasurea which be himself would have pursued; hot
these measures now loaded with she fruits of their ma-
turity; and crowned, fur their reviving Patron, with suc-
cess the Stoat resplendent. When we behold such un-
blemished and high honour and punctilio, can we agree
with Burke, that " the days or chivalry are no more?"
May we not rather recal the moments and language
of Jolla of France, when he ileeltred (end Isola, act-
ed as be spoke) that " though honour and good faith
s►osld forsake every other part of the world, they ought still
to be tumid in the breasts of Prince.?"—When we read of
the Black Prince, attending, in the hour of victory, belied
the chair of this very dohs', or riding ilaustentatinusly ow a
small paltry, by has side, and reverently puitmining his
ow. greatorm to that of Royalty iu chains ;—ahte
radiant with the glory he had just acquired, we find him
on the field of Crecy, receiving us his knees the fond
admiration of his heroic father, and imploring the birst.i..g

door—where is the breast that dues ■ot feel a throb? And
shall we withhold She tribute of respect from filial piety and
allegiance, and that nobleness tut spirit, which bows lowest
to the majesty that is most milliard, because these virtues
are beheld in a Prince of our own day, to wham tenure than
the plume of the illustrious Edward appears to have doi
wended ?

A due tenderness and warmth of heart I look on as the soil
congenial to all Oust is at once amiable and estimable in oar
nature. Nor is this trodrrutbil incompatible with manly fur-
tileda and daring; lon the contrary hold it to be their natu-
ral associate and ally. Is this softness eminent, or waisitsig,
in our King? Observe his wonting feelings at the intsr-
meat of Isis sister—at the Neutral of his ntutber—rheum he
bears the fatal tidier' of his child's decease; and if you heel-
tale to prosourece your Sovereign • thoroughly goo tdosatured
man, it will sot be that yun cats harbour • sluabt upon the
