LONDON,
TiLtSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 21, 1824

Thi's being the day appointed by his MAJESTY for
delivering the Royal Speech to both Houses of Parlia-
ment, Cockspur-street, and Parliament-
street, were lined with most respectably-dressed Ladies
and Gentlemen. The road was strewed with gravel,
and a detachment of the 2d Regiment of Royal Life
Guards, paraded the streets. Slimly kilter twelve
o'clock, his IVIAJEsTY's Crown of State was conveyed
to the House of Lords, in one of the King's private
carriaies. At half-past one o'clock the Royal proces-
sion moved in the following order :

Three of his MAJESTY'S private carriages, drawn by six bay
horses, each containing his MAJESTY'S officers and attendants.,--
A private carriage, drawn by six black horses, containing the
Duke of Wellington, Earl Mounteharles, and the Master of the

Twelve of the King's servants dressed in their State Liveries.
Twelve Yeomen of the Guard.

Cream-coloured Horses, most superbly caparisoned.
A Detachment of Life Guards closed the Procession.

His MaJxsTy'ioozen extremely wall, and WAS hailed with the
most rapturous applause in his progress to the Howe of Lords.
When the State Carriage hud stopped, and his MsnesTy alighted,
the bursts of applause were tremendous, accompanied by the tiring

of guns, &c.
The crowd in Palace-yard was very great, being composed
of very respectakie persons of both sexes, 'all eager to behold his
MA I Val'.

HOUSE OF LORDS.--(THIS DAY.)
;Jpon our admission into the House of Lords, we observed the
benches on which the Peers, usually take their seats tilled with
Peeresses, and other ladiei of, distinction connected with the
Court. The railing which usually surrounds the Chair had
been removed, and the Chair. brought forward several feet.

At one O'clock , the LORD CHI:NCILLLOR took his seat, and
prayers were read by the Lord Bishop of Llaudaff.
Shortly after the Peers began to arrive, attired in their robes,
and decked with the insignia of the several orders of which they
were members.

Their Lordships, the Judges, were ranged on benches, immedi-
ately below the Woolsack, and round the table.
The inclosed spud to the right of the Throne, which is ordinarily
occupied by 'the sons of Peers am] the Members of the House of
Commons, wu appropriated to Fringe Esterhasy and the other
Foreign Ambassadors..

Sir Thomas Tyrwhitt, the gentleman Usher of the Black Rod,
was then ordered to'summon the attendance of the Commons.

During the absence of the Black Rod, Hie Msserrir con-
versed with Lord Liverpool, and the other Peers who surrounded
the Royal person. His Mai valeta countenance Was pallid, but
his genral health appeared to be excellent.
Mr. SNIKAKUR having appeared at the Bar in full dress, and at-
tended by a considerable number of the Members of the House of
Commons, his MAJZSTY delivered the following Speech mu 'a
paper which he held iu his hand
MY LORDS AND'GV4I3,III4IN,

I have called you together at thistime, for the special purpose
of communicating to you the measure which I judged it necessary

to take in the mouth of September, for the adminsion into the
Ports of the United Kingdom of certain sorts of Foreign Grain
not then admissible by Law.
I have directed a Copy of the Order in Council, issued on that
occasion, to be laid before you, and I confidently trust that you
will see sufficient reason for, giving your sanction to the provisions
of that Order, and for carrying them into effect.
I have great satisfaction in being able to inform you that the
hopes entertained at the clone of the last Session of Parliament
respecting the terniinatitin of the war in the Burmese territories
have been fulfilled,and that a peace has been concluded in that quar-
ter highly honourable to the British arms and the Councils of the
British Government in India.

I continue to receivo from all Foreign Powers assurances of their
earnest desire to cultivate the relations of peace and friendly under-
standing with me.
lAM exerting myself with unremitting anxiety, either singly,
or in conjunction, with my Allies, as well to arrest the proogres►
of existing hostilities, ae to pi:event the interruption of Peace, in
different parts of the world.

GaNTLXIIIIN OF THR.ITOUSY. or COMMONS,
I have directed the Estimates of the ensuing year to be pre.
pared, and they will in due time be laid before you.

I will take care that they shall be formed with as much atten-
tion to economy as the exigencies of tile Public service will permit.
The Distress which has pervaded the Conunercial sad Manu-
facturing Classes of my Subjects during the last twelve months,
has affected some important Branches of the Revenue; but I
have the satisfaction of informing you, that there has been no *rich
diminution in the internal consumption of the Country, as to ex-
cite any apprehensions that the area • t *unreels of our wealth and
prfoperity have been impaired.

We received last night the Paris Papers of Satur-
day, and the Etoile, dated Sunday morning. The
latter contains accounts from,Constantinople down to
the 27th October, from which it appears that fresh
disturbances had , broken out in that capital, which,
however, had been suppressed by the Zetermined mea-
sures of the SULTAN, who had traced the origin of
these commotions to the remnant of the Janissaries,
of whom »timbers had beet banished, strangled, and
drowned publicly. ' Though tranquillity was appa-
sently restored, the capital was in a state of suppressed
fermentation.

The .toile furnishes also intelligence from Lisbon
to the Bth instant, but it contains. nothing more than
we gave yesterday from the Lisbon Gazettes.
The. proceedings against OUVRARD have tenni-

Hated in the acquittal of himself and all those who
Were accused with him, except • MAULEON and
BERGE, who 'are sentenced to six months' imprison-
ment, and a fine of 300 f. We trust that this affair,
which has been so long before the publi'c, is at last at
an. end. The French Funds again Advanced on
Saturday.
We subjoin a few extracts :
(From the Etoile.) .

Onvssa, Nov. 2.—According to. the recent news of the 27th
October, Constantinople has again beceine the ' theatre of great
commotions ; although the Sultan his employed fur the momen-
tary restablishment of tranquillity his wonted heroic 'method, that
is to say decapitation, this new commotion would appear to indi-
cate that be is yet far from his purpose. The fermentation of
mind created by the humiliating part which the Reis Effendi and
the Divan have been obliged to act in the late negotiations, in-
creases, if we may believe the last news, rather than dittinishes,
and induces us to fear new scenes of revolution. In the•mean-
while, the El-Meidan has become the field of death for many a
Mahometan, the devoted adherents of Islamism, and their, heads
have been sacrificed to a new system, which has not hitherto been
easily accommodated to a religion of the country. A great.num-
ber of people think, that if the Porte has been obliged at the,late
crisis, to bow to the necessity of its circumstances, it did so only
from fear of the present down-fallen party of the Janissaries.:.
BucxAaawr, OCT. 28.—A Tartar, who arrived here in five
days, front Constantinople, has brought the official intelligence
that the Sultan has discovered a new plot among the Janissaries,
and that, in consequence, the banishments, stranglings, and:
drownings which were formerly carried on, in secret, now took
place publicly. Although order bad been apparently restored,
the capital was still in a state of fermentation.
'SEMIN,Nov. s.—The reports ofexecutiona at Constantinople
follow one another to Belgrade, in quick succession. To-day not
only the Reis Effendi, but the Aga Pacha, is reported as be-
headed ; independent of a great number of Uletuas, who have
been burned, and a number of other Turks drowned. Whatever
be the real state of the case, the Greeks cannot forget the report
which at first appeared without any foundation,. of the execution
of the Greek Interpreter, Maurousi, she concluded the Treaty of
Bucharest, in 1812 ; and they rejoice that the Sultan, either
from inclination or necessity, in venting his anger on account of
the Convention of Akermaun, has let it fall on those of the same
religion as himhelf, who, on this occasion, alone conducted the
negotiation.
- - - - `

YASSY, OCT. 30.—A kallarasch, dispatched from Constanti-
nople to our Hospodar, arrived the day before yesterday, and
broUght intelligence that the Kiaja Bey of the Turkish Commis-
sinners at Akermann, the same who carried to Constantinople the
Convention signed by the latter, isiay be expected, here very soon
with the ratification of the Grand Seignor.

pier, and Ouvrad have been acquitted; Mauleon and Berge are

We received last night also Hawburgli Papers to
the 18th instant. They contain advices from St.
Petersburgh, of the 4th instant, furnishing further in-
telligence from the Persian frontiers, of the successful
operations of the army, which will be found amongst
the following extracts :

ST. Prrtassvnuu, Nov. 4,-114 Imperial Highness the
Grand Duke Michael arrived here, on the.3lst of October, in
perfect health.

The Journal of St. Petersbargh of to-day contains the follow-
ing article under the head of " News from the Army in Georgia,
of 30th September" (Oct. 12) After Abbas Mina had suf-
fered a total defeat on the ISth (26th) Sept., near Elizabithpol,
he left the Russian territory, raised the blockade of the fortress
of Schascha, and on the 18th (SOth), retreated over the Araxes.
After our victory of the 12th (25th), the • enemy fled with such
precipitation, that Lieut.-General Prince Madatow found it im-
possible to overtake him. A part of the Persian cavalry has fol-
lowed Abbas Mina over the Araxes ;
.the infantry has dispersed
and fled into the mountains, and wasendeavouring, with all speed,
to reach the Persian frontier. Adjutant-General Paskewitsch
has received orders to leave some troops in' Scherwan, in order to
drive out the Persians who have remained thek as well as on the
south of Daghastan. On the 21st of September (3d Oct.), Gen.
Davidow, who summands towards Erivan, attacked the enemy
commanded by Hassan Khan, brother of the Sardar of that pro-
vhiee. The Persians were totally routed, and General Davidow,
after having canted them great loss, pursued them, to the little
town Of Sudashent, two short days' journey from Erivan, where
the Sardar has shut himself up, without affording the smallest as-
sistance to his brother. The son of the former Khan of Elixa-
bethpol, Zgurgla Khan, who has been taken prisoner,, has declared
that in the battle of the 12th (25th), the army of Abbas Mina
consisted of 24 battalions; each consisting of 800 to 1,000 men,
'24 cannon, 12,000 cavalry, and 8,000 troops of various descrip-
tions. The head4luarters of General Paskewitech were at Ken-
dolan, not far•from Schaicha, and those of General Yermaloff at
Hassan See, in the district of Scliamshatlil. Abbas Mirza has re-
passed the Araxes, at Aslangas. According to the latest accounts,
he was, on the 20th September (2d October), at Mahn', to the
lift of the Aslangas, in the vicinity of the mountains, and the
Schap of Persia himself at Agar."
The "Topographic Bureau" of the General Staff of his Majesty
the Emperor, has just published a new General Map of Georgsa,
and the adjacent parts of Persia, on ten large folio sheets. This
Map is by Major-General Chatow.

tlrm.e7it7td ttAugust. They give very un-
favourable accounts of the Dutch affairs in Java. It
is stated that the Dutch troops bad been defeated in
in engagement with the natives in the eastern part of

the island, and sustained a considerable loss. Since
the restitution of this valuable island to Holland, it
has been in one incessant, state of disturbance : and
the native population seem to have suffered as much
from the restitution of their country to the Govern-
ment of the Dutch, as the commercial interests of this
country were injured by that unfortunate measure:

A Manifesto, dated Bogota, 12th July, has been
issued by the Executive Government of Colombia,
the object of which is to detail all the circumstances
connected with the revolt of PAEZ, " who has violated

his oath and his duty in the most scandalous manner•"
We have not 'space to-day to give any part of this
Manifesto ; it is very long, and ends by declaring that
PAEz has violated every article of the Constitution,
which has for its object the maintenance of 'order,
tranquillity, and good government, and that by his
conduct the social compact has been torn, and the
Constitution trampled under foot.

The Allgemeine Utung of the 14th inst. has been
received this morning. Under the head of Trieste, it
says, that the Turkish Fleet had returned to Con-
stantinople without having accomplished its premedi-
tated attack upon Samos:—

- lal ESTI, Nov. b•
The Captain of the ship which has arrived here, iu I I. days, from
Tachesme reports, that on the day preceding his departure the
Turkish fleet, which lay at ancher in the canal of Scio, had sailed,
directing its course towards Constantinople, without having at-
tempted a new attack upon Samos. The same Captain learnt
from. the Austrian Consul in Selo, who had heard it from the
Captain of a Turkish frigate that the Austrian
.Admiral,, Pan-
lucci, (who, as it was lately said, bad suddenly sailed k from
Smyrna) had landed in spite of the opposition be met with
upon Scopoli. Two divisions of 'Merchantmen fromAlin"'
Me_ were attacked by a Creek brig off the island of Episcopi,
but was repulsed by the Austrian brig Emu and the trifila. flif
schooner. The account* of the excesses committed by Greek
pirates become more and more frequent.

more activity, atrocity, and brutality; than "

s

any former time ? And can the trade, under any cir-
cumstances, be annihilated, until, all the nations of
the world unite for its abolition ? These are quefi-
ttons which every officer who has 'serVed that 'coast
can answer, and the reply would be such as to lead
to another question, namely, What then is the use of
keeping up a squadron for an object while'', it is a&
mitted, it has not the power of accomplishing ? Our
detestation of the Slave Trade is as deep and as firm
Its that expressed by any of our Cotemporaries ; but
we are satisfied that the cause of humanity oil the whole,
has suffered rather than benefited by the course whichhas
been adopted, and if it has not been greatly promoted,
then we contend, that the loss of life, and the expence
of the system, ought to lead to its final abandonment.
Iteductions,are talked of, and it is said that the naval
ann of the country will be again weakened. If this
rrport should prove true, we trust that the reduction
will be made by the withdrawal of our squadron from
the east of Africa.

We see that two military officers, emulous of the
Cone of the late Scotch gentleman pedlar, who went
about begging and plaguing the lieges with the drones
sf his bagpipes, have undertaken, for a wager, to sing
for two twins in every county in England, and collect
sum of 12/. sterling besides. These gentlemen
vagrants were last seen in Windsor. There is some-
thing so immeasureably absurd, so ineffably, so utterly,
so monstrously ridiculous in • this proceeding, that it
seems hardly worthy of notice ; for we should have
thought that a common' sense of decency and pro-
priety would have kept persons, moving in respectable
'society, from following such avocations, and degrading
themselves and their connections by acting such out-
rageous follies. But the example of fashionable men,
• "'td of the military in particular, is so catching, that we
should not be surprised to find bankers' clerks, tradesmen,
shopmen, and the rest of the fraternity, imitating this glo-
-9404i example, and emulating the vagrancy fame of the
...military officers aforesaid. if gentlemen will descend
into the lower walks of like, and will condescend to
turn vagrants, and go squalling and' bellowing over the
country, they ought to bear the consequences of their
oisi deliberate follies, and we exhort, beseech, and
eamestly entreat the first Magistrate possessing com-
lnoli sense, to vindicate the character of English gen-
tlemen, by clapping these mendicants upon' the tread-
'llia of the nearest house of correction, and so to leave
theta to feast on prison allowance, to exercise on the
treml-mill, and to reflect at leisure on their follies for a
month or so.' We are quite sure, after this example,
''`e shell hear of no more such extravagancies.
I'l default of such a Magistrate, we commend these
gents to the tender mercies of the Mendicant tribe,
humbly implore his Gipsy Majesty to despatch his
I.:missaries fully instructed and folly prepared to yin-
(l"te his and their honor, and to punish' these
I's for their impudence, and the injury they must
!lase sustained in their calling, by such conduct. But
',sit possible to believe that military officers would so
4egrade themselves? Gentlemen receiving the KING'S
molley fur their services, turning beggars in despite of
ti
I( NO'S laws ? The truth is, as we are very cre-
"ibly iiiformed, that these two persons are a couple of
sturdy beggars, who, with a view of getting mondy,
have resorted to this excellent plan,
.and adVise those
tear whose houses' they come,

to. As the non-payment of these bills might have subjected the

The storm which broke over Paris on the night' of the 13th
and 14th, has extended its violence to a great distance. In the
neighbourhood of Troyes; it broke down and tore up several large
trees. In the Commercial Dock at Havre, six ships, after break-
ing their cables were sent adrift. One ship in the King'S basin
had its mizen mast broken. A shipwreck is said to have taken
place at Heve, but the rumour is not confirmed. The captains of
those ships that entered yesterday, and this morning, say that it
was a dreadful night at sea ; we Lave not, however,' heard of
more disasters.

The accounts of the situation of the cotton-weavers and maim
factureis in Blackburn and and its vicinity continue to be in the
highest degree distressing. It is calculated that, in the district
round Blackburn, there are about '70,000 poor people who de-
pend on that description of labour, of which number more than
20,000 are quite out of work. As the compassion of the master-
manufacturers for the state of the starving poor, combined with
the miserably low rate of wages, induces them to continue work-
ing as much as possible, it is supposed that even at the present
rate, far more goods are manufactured than can be consumed, so
that the number of people out of work is likely to increase rather
than, diminish, and:this at the speedy. approach of the inclement
season. There appears to be far more distress in the district round
Blackburn than in any other part of England.
A French paper contains a trial fora murder of a horrible de-
scription in the arrondissement of Langres. A farmer of the
name of Jacob, left a child 13 years of age ill in bed, and went
out to his work. On his return the boy was found dead with
blows of a hammer. The murderer, for some time undetected,
was found to be an old woman, who added robbery to murder.
She was not seen going into the house, and only was suspected
by the use of words which betrayed her guilt. She denied the
crime on her trial. She was found guilty, and condemned to
forced labour for

Commercial letters received to-day from the coast of the Black
Sea, describe the operations of the Russian Army in Georgia, as
being nearly suspended, in consequence of the state of the weather,
and the had condition of the roads, which render the transport of
artillery nearly impossible. From these causes it k supposed that
no farther warlike operations will take place till the spring of
the year.
