LOIN 150 IV, JULY 31, 1804.

Tats day at half past two o'clock, 'His INAJI►,s.
TV went in State to the House of Peers, and put an
end to the Session of Parliament, with a most Gra.
cious Speech from the Throne, which we stop the
Press tp present to our Readers.
" hey Lords and Gentlemen,

Before I put an end to the present Session
of Pdrliament, I am desirous of expressing My
entire approbation of the zeal and assiduity with
which you have applied yourselves to the great oh.
os of Public Concern which have come under your
consideration.,

" You have wisely continued to direEk your at.
tension to tl►e encouragement and improvement of
that respeetable and powetful Volunteer Force,
which the ardour and spirit of My" Subjects have
endbled Me to establish, to an extent hitherto un-
exampled.

" You have at the same time endeavoured to
combine an additional establishment for our 'Dn.
mestic Defence with the means of augmenting our
Regular Army, and ofi maintaining it on such a
scale as may. be proportioned to the circumstances
of the times, and to the' rank which this Country
ought ever'to hold among thf! Powers Europe.
" Gentleinem of the Hoye ofcomthons,

" You are entitled to My warmest Acknow.,
ledgments for the fresh.proof which you have given
Me of your 6ffenionate attachment to My Person
and. Family, and your regard to the Humour, and
Dignity of My Crown, by the liberal Piovision
which you have made for the Paymen't of the. Debt
on My Civil Li;t Revenue, and for furnishing,
Me with the additional Means of defraying the,
increase which has unavoidably taken place in the
Expenditure. I must also
different branches of My
return you My warmest' banks for the extensive
Provision which you have made for the exigencies of
the Public Service, and especially for the just
and prudent attention which you have shewn
,A true Er...nniny, and the Permanent Credit and
Welfare of tile CoUntry, by the great Exer.
tions you have .male for preventing as fir ;1
pwsible, the acctimulation of Del7,t, and for raisins;
su large a prop rtion of the Expellees of the War
within the year,
" My Lard: and Gel/11mm,

I have now only to recommend to you to carry
into your respenive Countie4 the same zed for
the Public Service which has guided all your Pro.
ceeclings. It will be your li.iriicular duty «.)
sate on the minds of all clas&es of my Subjeas,
that the preservation of all' that is most dear
to theca requires the continuance of their unremit.
ted exertions fur the Nation4l I.)tence. The pre,
parations which' the Enemy has•long been' forming,
furlhe declared purpose of invading this Kingdom,
are daily augmenting, and the attempt appears to
have been delayed only ,with the view of procuring
addiiional means for carrying it into 'execution.

" Relying on the skill, val,ior, and discipline of
my Navala.nd Military Force, aided by the volut►tary
kcal aid native courage of my People, I lunk with
confidence to the issus) of this. great en( {NI, and I
doubt not that it will terminate, und,r lin: blessing
of Providence, not only in revelling the danger of
the moment, but :in establishing, in'
.the eyes of
Foreign Nations, the Security of this Country, on
3 ILISIS never to be shaken. In addition to this
First and Great Objct, I. entertain the animating.
Hope, that tie benefit to be derived
.from our-
successful ,exertions will not be confined within
ourselves; but that by. their example, arid their. con.
sequences, they may lead to the mestablishment of
such ',System in Europe as may rescue it from
the pteearinus state to . which it is' reduced,
and may filially raise an el Actual harder against the
. •
unbounded schemes of aggrandizement and ambition
which.threaten every Independent Nation that yet
remains on the Continent."

A Messenger, we understand, has been sent ofr to
His Royal Highness the PRINCE of WAI.Es at
Brighton, on a very interesting subject, the par.
titulars of which we hope to conununicate to our
Readers to.motrow.

WE announced on Saturday last, that 40NA-
ril:RTE was at Boulogne on the 20th, arld oc,
statement is Confirmed b). the Jliviiirurt whiA at-
rived yesterday, which omit that lit Itft St. Cluttd

oti the 19th, in order to proceed to the Coast. It
does - not, however, appear that even the pre-
sence of the new Emperor has been' able to oblite-
rate the recolleCtiort of the severe chastisement
which hi's boasted Flotilla received a few days ago,
forventotiog out a little too far, for they have te.
mained pettedly quiet ever since ; and the little
manouvering which was exhibited fur the amuse.
ment of BoNA.gAitTE, was very prudently performed
in the Inner Harbour., The principal object, how-
ever, which .induced BONAPARTE to Visit the,
Camps, was, if possible, to allay the discontents
which have manifested theMselves very openly
among the Soldiery. 'We do not thick, however,
that the Official Notification lately issued by the
Minister of the Marine, will much contribute to re-
store the Troops to good humour. It states, that
it havio,g been found impossible to find Seamen
enough to man their Vessels of War, Ni: Majesty
had. been pleased- to order that Detachments of
Troops shsold be embarked to supply the de.
ficiency. In order, however, to encourage them,
and: to reconcile them to this new species of ser.
vice, his Corsican Majesty has been, pleased to or-
der that Bounties shall be given of from half-a.
crown to six shillings and eight.pence each man.
The French Papers contain a short account of the
Bombardment of Havre, but no notice whatever is
taken of the. damage dune to the Town. or the
Vessels in the Harbour.

Sunday evening the 11')Y AL FAMILY walked on
