" We are commanded by His MAJEsrr to acquaint you,
that His MAJESTY has concluded Treaties of Amity and
Commerce with the Emperor of Brazil, and with the
United States of Mexico ; copies of which will, by ills
MAJESTY'S commands, be laid before you.
" GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS,

" His MAJESTY has ordered the Estimates for thc cur-
rent year to be laid before you. They have been pre-
pared with every regard to economy consistent with the
exigency of the public service.
" We are commanded by His MAJESTY to recommend
to your early attention an inquiry into the state of the
Revenue and Expenditure of the Country.
" His 'MAJESTY is assured that it will be satisfactory to
you to learn that, notwithstanding the diminution which
has taken place in some branches of the Revenue, the
total amount of Receipt during the last year has not disap-
pointed the expectations which were entertained at the
commencement of it.
" My LORDS AND GENTLEUEN,

His MAJESTY has commanded us to inform you that a
considerable increase has taken place in the export of the
principal articles of British manufacture.
" This improvement of our foreign trade has led to a
more general employment of the population, and affords a
satisfactory indication of the continued abatement of those
commercial difficulties which recently affected so severely
the national industry.
" His MAJESTY commands us to assure you, that
Ile places the firmest reliance upon your continued endea-

yours to improve the condition of all classes of his subjects,
and to advance the great object of His MAJESTY'S solicitude
—the prosperity and happiness of his people.
When his Lordship had concluded, the
SPEAKER and Members of the House of Corn-
mons retired.

Among the Peers present were his Royal
Highness the Duke of CLARENCE and the
Duke of ST. ALBANS.

The Duke of WELLINGTON was not present
during the reading of the Speech, but entered
the House shortly afterwards.
At 20 minutes to Three o'clock their Lord-
ships adjourned to Five o'clock.

Lord BERESFURD is to be the Master General
of the Ordnance.

We understand that his Grace the Duke of
WELLINGTON has this day resigned the com-
mand of the Army, in which he is to be suc-
ceeded by the Earl of DoNouGxrloßE•

The re-assembling of Parliament, for the des-
patch of business, will naturally lead men to
reflect on the changes which have taken
place, and the vacancies which have occurred,
since it last met. But, eventful as the
period has been, we would venture to say that
one reflection will be uppermost in the mind
of every individual on re-entering the Chapel
of St. Stephens,—that every eye will first
seek the place occupied by the late Mr.
CANNING on the Treasury Bench, and that
a simultaneous, though perhaps transitory,
homage, will be paid to the manes of him, whom,
at parting, they left occupying the pinnacle of
human ambition,—the able, accomplished, and
brilliant leader of that great assembly,—the
eloquent and effective assertor of liberal and
enlightened principles both at home and
abroad, and the acknowledged umpire of
the destinies of the world. Even personal
hostility must give place to melancholy reflec-
tion on the transitory nature of so much glory,
and 'those who did not regret his death,
can not revisit the scene of all his
triumphs, without some feelings of compunc-

tion for the rancour which they exhibited, and
which embittered, if it did not hasten the hour
of his departure.
But to those whom that great man numbered
amongst his friends, who knew and could appreci-
ciate all the fascinating wit and brilliancy of his
refined and cultivated mind, to those it must in-
deed be a renewal of sorrow, when they see
his place occupied by any other person, and when
they are recalled to the certain remembrance
of their loss, by hearing the new Writ moved
for a successor to his seat in Parliament.—
Let them, however, take comfort in the comic-

Lion, that to their friend will be assigned,
by the latest posterity, the honor of esta-
blishing, by his eloquence, those principles
which must ultimately pervade all Go-
vernments,—principles as distinct from the
unhallowed machinations of the radical, as
from the uncompromising spirit of the
bigot and the oppressor. But though the
day of his death was full of omen to the
cause of 'Civil and religious liberty, and its most
sanguine votaries were for a time appalled,—as

" Freedom shrieked when Kosciusko fell;"

we rejoice to think that the clouds are pass-

ing - -
away, and that the triumph of the cause has
been only delayed by the loss of its great

cham

ion.

The Gazette de France dated Sunday, and
the Paris Papers of Saturday, have been received;
they contain little news. A few extracts will be
found in another column.

We received this morning the Austrian Ob-
server of the 17th inst., from which we extract
the following interesting particulars relative to
naval affairs in the Archipelago:—

ZANTE, DEC. 14.

On the 17th of last month an European ship of war,
bearing a flag of truce, entered the harbour of Navarin
from the west; this ship was the English sloop of war the
Pelican, Capt. H. A. B. Hamilton ; it reconnoitred the
pert, and without having any communication with the
Turkish ship lying in it, soon left it and put to sea again.
The Pelican, which has since anchored in our roads, is
appointed to cruize in the lonian seas as far as Cape Ma-
tapan. The following day, the 18th ult., there appeared
on the south side, in sight of Navarin, a frigate, a cor-
vette, and a brig; the first had the French flag, but the
two others had none. These ships remained off Navarin
till the evening of the 19th, and then withdrew, but ap-
peared again in a few days; and it was observed from Mo-
don that two schooners joined it from,time to time. On
the 25th November a strong north wind obliged all those
ships to leave the coast. There is no doubt but these ships
were the Hellas frigate, the corvette taken from the Egyp-
tiaps last summer, and the brig Sortir. Ibrahim Pacha
is said to have declared, that if Lord Cochrane should
again chew himself near Navarin lie would send against
him the best ships he had at Navarin, and try the chance
of a battle.

The number of Turkish and Egyptian ships of war now
in the harbour of Navarin, is 29, viz. one ship of the line
of the Constantinople fleet much damaged ; four frigates of
the same fleet in a similar condition; two frigates of the
same fleet fit for service; one cut down Egyptian ship of
the line in tolerable condition ; five corvettes, eleven brigs,
five schooners of the Egyptian fleet in good condition, and
25 transports. The following had left Navarin since the
battle of Oct. 20.:—one Egyptian schooner, which con-
voyed merchantmen from Navarin to the neighbourhood
of Zante ; one Constantinople corvette, which conveyed
Tahir Pacha to the capital ; one Egyptian corvette and
schooner, which are gone to Alexandria, and a transport
which is still at Modon. On the 6th instant, Ibrahim
Pacha received from the Governor of Tripolizza, Soliman
Bey, despatches, in which he states that his troops are in
good condition, and that the fortress has provisions for
three months, and has nothing to fear from an attack.
On the other hand, the Egyptian troops in the camp
at Navarin and Modon appear to suffer from the
want of provisions, so that the rations have diminish-
ed by one third ; this caused sonic excesses on the
6th inst. at Modon, where a part of the garrison attacked
the bakers' shops and plundered them. Ibrahim Pacha
had the guilty severely punished. Supplies have since
reached Ibrahim's camp from Zante, which alternately sup-
ply the Greeks and Turks with provisions.
On the 6th inst. a Greek brig cast anchor in this road,
which on the 12th proceeded on its voyage to the coast of
Acarnania. It carries provisions to Dragomestre, where
General Church landed with several thousand men at the
end of last month. On entering this port the brig hoisted

Greek colours, but was obliged to take them down by order:
of the English resident here.

The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 22d instant,
has the following warlike article respecting the
situation of affairs in the East :

FROM THE FRONTIERS OF BOSNIA? JAN. 7.

The military preparations are becoming serious in this
province also. Mehmed Abdurhaham Paella, Governor of
Bosnia, summoned all the Capitanis and Agas to come
without delay to Serajevo, and asked them in what state
their districts were, how many troops they had at their dis-
posal, what stock of arms, ammunition, and provisions
they had, and in what state the fortresses, ports, &c. were?
On the almost unanimous answer, that the fortresses were
not in a good state of defence, and that the supplies were
deficient, the Capitanis and Agas were made acquainted
with the Sultan's firman, commanding all those places to
be immediately repaired and provisioned ; a general arming
of the Mussulmen, that they may be ready at the first
call ; the payment of a certain sum of money for
defraying other expences ; and, at the same time, or-
dering increased activity in the cannon foundry at Ban-
jaluka. It was also announced to them by this firman that
they had not the 'cast came to fear any thing from their
pacific neighbour Austria, even in case that power should
station an army of observation upon the frontier. All the
Mussulmen are therefore ordered on pain of losing their
heads, to refrain from any offence to Austrian subjects, in-
cluding the Christian individuals in Bosnia; but at the
same time to have a watchful eye upon all their proceed-
ings. As a proof of the friendly relations between Austria
and the Porte, it may be mentioned that at the desire of
the Porte an island lying near the fortress of Broslo, was
a few days ago solemnly tlelivered up to it, which island,
like all the others in the Save, has been since the last peace
in the hands of Austria.

'

By his Majesty's brig Mutine, At Fal-
mouth from Rio de Janeiro, with a:mail, letters

have been received of the 30th November. These
represent trade as improved, and sales were
readily made at fair prices. The Exchange was
32 32-k; coffee, 3 mil.; sugar, Ist quality, 3 mil.
500 reas.; Muscovadoes, 2 mil. 600 reas. ; and
hides, 220 reas. per lb. Considerable quantities
of specie were shipping on board the packet, and
merchant ships, both for Government account
and the private merchants. The former were
in the market, wanting bills to remit to England
for the April dividends. No peace between the
Brazilians and Buenos Ayres had actually taken
place, but confident hopes are expressed that we
may shortly expect the news of the desirable
event having taken place, and to which point the
EMPEROR, in closing the Session of the Assem-
bly, particularly adverts, as being extremely pro-
bable, and on terms mutually advantageous. It
is proper to observe, at the time the packet
sailed, no later accounts than those already re-
ceived sonic time since had arrived from the Rio
Plata. On the day the packet sailed, his Ma-
jesty's brig Sphynx was seen going into Rio.
The Maine has brought a number of pas-
sengers, among which are a deputation of the
Haase Towns, Messrs. GILDEMESTER,
SIEVIKING, and SCHRAMM, who return from
their mission, after- having completed a treaty of
commerce with the Brazilian Empire.

Rio de Janeiro Papers to the 30th November
inclusive, have arrived. The contain the
EMPEROR'S Speech on closing the Session of
the Chambers. Its tone is mild, and it holds
out a prospect of peace. At Buenos Ayres a
revolution is said to have broken out, and there
was a general cry for peace :

RIO DE JANEIRO.
On the 16th Nov. the Emperor closed the Session of
the Chambers with the following speech :
" I cannot but congratulate myself on the happy result
of the labours of the Assembly during this Session. My
love for Brazil, the present political circumstances, and the
national interest, oblige me to remind you that the abode
in this capital of the majority of the Members of the Cham-
bers would be extremely useful, because, as we are still at
war, and in hope of concluding a treaty of peace, it may
happen to contain some article on the determination of
boundaries which requires legislative measures, and without
which the treaty cannot be concluded. I leave it to the
wisdom of each of the Members to consider what passes.—
Hoping a result which may show to Brazil the interest we
all take in its happiness, the Session is closed."
The Diario is chiefly filled with the debates of the
Chambers, and with the official promulgation of the laws
passed during the Session. The Deputies were occupied
in some sittings with the subject of the counterfeit copper
coin in the province of Bahia, and passed a resolution to
the effect that, " It being notorious that the authorities of
the province of Bahia had tolerated the manufacture and
free circulation of counterfeit copper coin, receiving it into
the public coffers, the attention of the Chamber had been
called to this scandalous proceeding, and it had resolved to
lay the matter before his Majesty's Geverinnent, urging
the necessity of making the above-mentioned authorities re-
sponsible for the abuse."
RIO, NOV. 20.
Letters deserving credit, dated Monte Video, the 2d
inst. say :
" There is a revolution in Buenos Ayres. The Gover-
nor and Alvear were arrested and sent to the province of
Mendonca, and there is a general cry for peace. I believe
that the secret of the duration of the war was discoveted,
and that the people are not disposed to suffer any more for
foreign policy.
Nov. 22.—The Diario announces the change in the Mi-
nistry. The following are the names of the new Ministers.
Dr. P. de Aranjo Lima, for the Interior.

Marquis de Arac Foreign Affairs.
Miguel Calmon Du Pine e Almeida, Finance.
Lucio Soares Teixeira de Gouvea, Justice.
Brigadier Bento Barrozo Pereira, War.
Commodore Diogo Jorge de Brito, the Marine.
These nominations are all dated Nov. 20.

The Ariadne English sloop of war arrived on
the 18th at Marseilles front Malta, in 1,2 days,
with despatches, which were immediately for-
warded to their destination.
