HIS MAJESTY's SPEECH.

THIS day His MAJESTY went in the usual State
to the House- of Peers, and being seated on the
Throne with the accustomed -solemnities, the House
of Commons attending at the Bar, opened the Ses-
tion of Parliament with the following Most Gracious
Speech :

41 My Lords and Gentlemen,

" I have the satisfaaion to acquaint you, that
the important Negociations in which I was en-
gaged at the close of the last Session of Par-
liament, are brought to a favourable conclusion.
The differences with the Northern Powers have
been adjusted by a Convention with the Em-
peror of Russia, to tvhich the Kings of -Denmark
and Sweden have expressed their readiness to ac-
cede. The essential Rights for which we contended,
are thereby secured, and provision is made, that
the exercise of them shall be attended with as little
molestation as possible to the Subjeas of the Con_
trading Parties.

" Preliminaries of Peace have also been ratified
between Me and the French Republic ; and I trust
that this important Arrangement, whilst it mani-
fests the Justice and Moderation of My Views,
will also he found conducive to the substantial In.
tere,ts of this Country, and honourable to the Bri.
tish Charafter.

g' Copies of these Papers shall be forthwith laid
before you, and I earnestly hope that the Transac.
tions to which they refer, will meet with the Ap-
probation of My Parliament.
it Gentlemen of the House of Commons,

" I have direeted such Estimates to be prepared
for the various demands of the Public Service, as
appear to me to be best adapted to the situation in
which we are now placed. It is painful to
Me torefleft, that provision cannot be made for de-
fraying the Expellees which must unavoidably be
continued for a time, in different parts of the world,
and for maintaining an adequate Peace Establishment,
without large additional Supplies. You may, how-
ever, be assured, that all possible attention shall be
paid to sucil economical arrangements as may not
be inconsistent with the great objeci of effeaually
providing for the security of all My Dominions.
any Lards and Gentlemen,

"I cannot sufficiently describe the Gratification
and Comfort I derive from the Relief which the
Bounty of Divine Providence has afforded to My
People, by a, to abundant produce of the late Harvest.
In contemplating the Situation of the Country at
this important conjunflure, it is impossible for me to
refrain from expressing the deep sense I entertain of
the Temper and Fortitode which have been manifest-
ed by all descriptions of My Faithful Subjeas, under
the various and complicated difficulties with which
they have had to contend. The distinguished Va-
lour and eminent Services of My Forces by Sea and
Land, which at no period have been surpassed ; the
unprecedented exertions of the Militia and Fencibles,
and the Zeal and Perseverance of the Volunteer
Corps of Cavalry and Infantry, are entitled to My
warmest Acknowledgments :---And I am persuaded
that you will join with Me, in reflefting with pe-
culiar satisfaEtion on the Naval and Military Opera-
tions of the last Cittnpdign, and on the suceessfyl and
glorious Issue of the Expedition to Egypt, which
has been marked throughout by achievements,
tending in their consequence, and by their example,
to produce lasting Advantage and, Honour to this
Country. It is My first and most fervent Prayer, that
My People may experience the Reward they have so
well merited, in a full enjoyment of the Blessings
of Peace, in a progressive increase of the National
Commerce, Credit, and Resources, and above all,
in the undisturbed possession of their Religion,
Laws, and Liberties, under the Safeguard and Pro-
teftion of that Constitution, which it has been the
great objea of all our Efforts to preserve, and
which it is our most sacred duty to transmit unim-
paired to our Descendants.''

Lord POLTON moves the Address to-clay in the
House of Peen, and Lord Li t.FoteD seconds it.

days ago, Lord Lo.vAr.‘c ri.,oves the Address, and

Peace is expettied to, take place on Tuesday next.
