HOUSE OF LORDS—MoNnav, Nov. 20.
[ln our paper of yesterday we gave all the particulars respect-
ing his Majesty's progress to the House of Lords,. as well as the
King's Speech. We now merely reprint the Royal Speech, as it
forms the text for the Debate.]
DIY LORDS AND GENTLY.AP,My
I have called you together at this time, for the special purpose
of communicating to you the measure which I judged it necessary
to take in the month of September, for the admission 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 close of the last Session of Parliament
respecting the termination of the war in the Burniese territories
have been fulfilled, and that a peace has been concluded in that guar-
ter highly honourable to the British arms and the Council* of the
'.British Government in
I continue to receive from all Foreign Powers assurances of their
tamest desire to Cultivate the relations of peace and friendly undfir-
'standing with me.
I ant exerting myself with unremitting anxiety, either singly,
or in conjunction, with my Allies, as well to arrest the progress
of existing hostilities, as to prevent the interruption of Peace, in
different parts of the world.

thANTLEMEN or THE HOUSE OF COMMONS, • • .-•
I have directed the Ettimates of the ensuing year to be pres
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 ecenomy as the exigencies of the Public service will permit.
The Distress which has pervaded the Commercial and Mann.
Picturing Chusses of my Subjects during the last twelve months,
. has affected some important Branches of the Revenue ; but 1
~)fave the satisfaction of informing you, that there has been no such
diminution, in the, internal consumption of the Country, 'as to ex-
site any apprehensions. that the great sources of our wealth and
Prosperity have been impaired.
• • sly Linens AND GENTLYSIEN,
I lutte• deeply sympathised with the sufferings which have
been for some time past so severely felt in the Menelueturing Dis-
' triets of the Country, mid have ooutemplatel with satisfaction,
the exeniplary patience with which those Fedi-tinge have been ge-
nerally borne.
The depression under which the Trade and Manufacturer of
the Country have been labouring, has abated more slowly than
thought myself warranted in anticipating; but I retain a firm ex-,
peetation that this abatement will be
,progressive, and that the
time is nut far distant, when, under the blessing of Divine Provi-
deuce, the Cowmen* arid Industry of the United Kingdom will
have resented their wonted activity.
THE ADDRESS.
His MAJXSTY'S Speech having been then read aloud by the
1 Louie CHANCILLLOIL front the Woolsack, and by the Clerk at the
table.
Earl CORNWALLIS rose to move the ' Address. The
s,,
voice •of the Noble' Earl, whose back was turned the whole
titre towards the Bar, was so feeble, that only detached words
oecasionally reached the public. Front these we inferred that the
Noble Earl was taking a review of the topics contained in the
14'Peeeh, eipressing his satisfaction at the termination of the Bur-
h,Sse was, and at the step; taken by his Majesty, in conjunction
with Lis 'Allies, to put an end to existing hostilities in every part
sides world. We understood him to say, that the deficiency in
the Revenue must lead to greater economy, and that if Perlis-
Inent had hitherto beets unwilling to interfere with respect to the
Prevailing distress, it was because it attributed that distress to us-
,t,aral Causes, which was no longer the case. He also alluded to
" state of Ireland ; and concluded by moving an Address, which
Was an echo of the Speech.
Lord COLVILLE, in riaiug to second the Metioit of the Noble.
nstl, could not but feel that he stood in need of that indulgenee
.Whichi their Lordships were in the habit of 'hewing, and he hoped
that the motion would not suffer from falling into the hands of a
alan who could give it such feeble support. With respect to the
special purpose for which Parliament had been assembled, he did
hot think that soy person could disapprove of his Majesty's Minis-
ters for having issued, on their own responsibility, an Order in Coun-
cil, and then called Parliament together as soon as possible,
to Prove its necessity and sanction what they had done. He
Was aware that it was a departure from the system , required by
the existing laws, but lie expected that 'no man would have an
hliection to such a measure when their Lordships reflected, that
tesl it had been adopted, it would have been impossible to sup-
pressing• wroth; or the country for oats until the 15th of
• uvemher, when the averages would be taken. He also rejoiced
in the realization of the' hopes expressed by his Majesty at the
i'l°st of the last Seesion respecting the speedy termination of the
'Prnisse war a war which was undertaken under cireumstauces
1,4 Peculiar difficulty, as it was scarcely practicable to obtain any
Lal knowledge of the country to guide an invading army. BY
energy of thy Indian Government, however, and by the greet
ilitY and perseverance of the officers, and the good conduct of
• soldiers arid seamen, both British and Native, those difficulties
"'" been overcome, and peace had beets obtained equally honour-
' t° the British firma as satisfactory to the Government.—
TI
lC!-e was also a brilliant exploit to which he would direct
their Lordships' attention. Ile meant the capture of the fortress
.0,1116110 mi, which gave us security that the tranquillity of our
'alum Empire would not soon again bedisturbetl. 'lt wawa glad
esisitleiation that moat of the nations of Europe still enjoyed peace
ra. a war of unprecedented duration ; and it was gratifying to
ow that his Majesty continued to receive from them all assur-
tilers of unshaken amity, and that in conjunction with his allies

&tilitiel in whatever part of the world they might exist.—The
• „1°I)le Lord then alluded to the distress suffered by the manufac-
-Ihrers, and the consolation to be derived from. their patient obe-
?lerieet to the laws of the country. 'ln fact, the operative clasaea
dad given the strongest proofs of being fully sensible that their
htatreases sprung from causes over which man had no contralti, and
that the vigilant attentions of his Majesty's Ministers would nut
tetritit any opportunity of assisting and relieving them to pass un-
needed. Much was to be expected from time and from patience
.ialer difficulties and distresses. Already were those distresses
"reeling, and every thing announced that shortly our commerce
70141 d be restored to that prosperity which it was wont to enjoy,
IVeultl replace the country on that eminent height on which it
k 45 Used to stand.
Lord KING had no objection to the Addreea. • Its only fault
Wee that it did not go far enough. It did not adequately describe
2,Stste of the country. Ile should therefore move an amend-
'l4l? supply itadeticiencies. Something was said in the Speech
