MAJESTY has not yet expressed a wish to attend

believe, that the Session will be opened by Com.
mission. The topics of the Speech to be delivered
on the occasion have already been arranged by
Nlinisters, and will this day be submitted to the
K rso at Windsor, where his MAJEsTy will hold
a Privy Council.

chequer, Viscount Melville, Lord Bexley, Mr. Huskisson, Mr.

It is reported, in the political circles, that the
Duke of Wellingiou's mission to St. Petersburg!'

lation, but that it has for its object certain poli.

Ilk Majesty is said to have recominended to the
Noble Duke to permit his son, the Marquess of
Douro, to accompany hint.—Plorning Chronicle.)
There has been evidently a considerable bustle
at the Admiralty during the past week. Several
of our Naval Commanders have been sent for by
express from the Country, and the Captain of one
frigate, in particular, had only twenty.four hours'
notice to prepare for his departure for the Medi-
terranean, where he is ordered by Lord Melville
to open his instructions, from which he would
learn his distination,(///id.)
Several young Noblemen are expected to ac.
Company the Duke of WELLING-to:I on his Ent.
bassy to St. Petershurgh.

The Liverpool Courier, speaking of Mr. Joseph

NAcoLr.os AND HA NNI 8.% 1..-1 n a late num
ber of the Military Magazine, which is published
at Copenttgeo, is a parallel between Napoleon
and Ilaunibal, which is very ingeniously pursued.
Both of these great warriors, says the writer,
carried war into the bosom of the enemy's coun-
try both passed the Alps : both employed hi.
fantry in Masses—Napoleon formed a reserve of
veterans ; Hannibal did the saute at Zama.
Both were skilful in inflaming the courage of their
troops by harangues ; and both knew well how
to meet danger at the right moment. Both
of them rose at an early age to the highest dig-
nities of the state ; both were about 2ti years of
age when they began to signalize themselves in
war. Both sought. to conquer Itely—Trehia was
for Hannibal, what Marengo was for Buonaparte,
and Austerlitz and Jena were the parallels of
Thrasemeoe and Cornice. Ilanuihal sunk before
Scipio :—Napoleon sank before \Wellington,
Zama was Waterloo. To crown all, both died
in exile : one complained of being tormented by
Flaminius, and the other—by Sir Hudson Lowe.
