LONDON, TUESDAY, FEB. 5, 1861.

HER MAJESTY'S SPEECH.

MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN,

It is with great satisfaction that I meet you
again in Parliament, and have recourse to your
assistance and advice.

My relations with Foreign Powers continue to
be friendly and satisfactory; and I trust that the
moderation of the Powers of Europe will prevent
any interruption of the general peace.

Events of great importance are taking place in
Italy. Believing that the Italians ought to be left
to settle their own affairs, I have not thought it
right to exercise any active interference in those
matters. Papers on this subject will be laid before
you.

I announced to you, at the close of the last
session of Parliament, that the atrocities which
had then recently been committed in Syria had
induced me to concur with the Emperor of Austria,
the Emperor of the French, the Prince Regent of
Prussia, and the Emperor of Russia, in entering
into an engagement with the Sultan by which
temporary military assistance was to be afforded to
the Sultan for the purpose of establishing order in
that part of his dominions.
That assistance has been afforded by a body of
French troops who have been sent to Syria as re-
presenting the allied Powers. The Sultan has
also placed a considerable military force in Syria
under the direction of an able officer; and I trust
that tranquillity will soon be re-established in that
prc'vince; and that the objects of the Convention
will' have been fully attained.
I ,announced to you also, at the close of the last
session of Parliament, that the pacific overtures
which any Envoy in China had made to the Imperial
Government at Peking having led to no satisfac-
tory result, my naval and military forces, and those
of my Ally the Emperor of the French, were to
advance towards the Northern Provinces of China,
for the purpose of supporting the just demands of
the Allied Powers, and that the Earl of Elgin had
been sent to China as Special Ambassador to treat
with the Chinese overn men t.
I am glad to inform you that the operations of
the allied forces have been attended with complete
success. After the capture of the forts at the
mouth of the Peiho, and several engagements with
the Chinese army, the allied forces became masters
of the Imperial city of Peking; and
the Earl of
Elgin and Baron Gros, the Ambassador of the
Emperor of the French, were enabled to obtain an
honourable and satisfactory settlement of all the
matters in dispute.

Throughout these operations, and the negotia-
