TUESDAY. OCTOBER 26.

OPENING OF THE FIRST PARLIAMENT OF

KING WILLIAM IV.

Precisely at one o'clock, the LORD HIOH STIWARD
entered the House of Lords, and immediately proceeded to
swear in all the Members who had, at that time, assem-
bled. The time thus occupied, and in opening the pre-
sent Session of Parliament, exceeded one hour ;
when the Members began to crowd into the House
of Commons. Mr. MA W Nzas SUTTON was elected Speaker
without opposition; and at half-past two o'clock the House
of Commons proceeded to the usual preliminary business.
There were upwards of two hundred Members present; and
a vast crowd of persons assembled in the gallery, lobbies,
passages, and outside the Houses, to see the Members as they
arrived. On this occasion the officers, and servants, were
unusually forbearing; and freely permitted every respectably-
dressed person to have access to the very entrances, and
many into the interior, of the Houses, which seem to have
undergone some necessary repairs.

The opening of a new Parliament is a period naturally
of expectation and anxiety ; end never did a Parliament
assemble, the conduct of which, was more a subject of so-
licitude than the present. Every one is active in his
conjectures, as to the measures which the Government will
adopt under the present emergencies of the nation.
Pamphlets have been lately written so discrepant in
their views, as to the probable state of parties in the
new Senate, that the impartial observer must be inclined
to keep his mind in suspense, until facts develope themselves.
But there is one universal expectation predominating, that
the Administration will bring forward some measures of a
new and efficient character, for what is significantly, but
not very definitely, termed the relief of the country.
While we feel much confidence that our present admi-
nistration will introduce some measures of efficient benefit,
we would earnestly recommend our readers not to form
expectations, which no ministry, under the present state of
public affairs, can. perform. Pars, we think, in one of
his letters proposes, an additional beatitude to those
in Scripture, viz. " Happy is he that expecteth nothing,
for he shall not be disappointed." Now we do not go quite
so far, as to recommend this entire exclusion of expectation
to our Readers, on the present occasion; but we would recom-
mend them to measure their expectations by what, in the nature
of circumstances, can be performed. We have heard of a West-
end shopkeeper, who was extremely desirous of complying
with every wish Of his customers ; but, on one occasion,
finding himself puzzled by a Lady's request, and still not
liking to give an uncourteous negative, brought himself out
of the dilemma, by saying, " Really, my Lady, I should
be extremely delighted to giant your request ; but we can-
not do impossibilities, at this time of the year." We are
afraid that .the Duke of W lILLINOTON might make, in sober
tenth, a similar reply to some of those who clamour for relief
at the present moment. His Grace, we are sure, .would be
obliged by any' neat little practicable scheme for removing
taxation ;.,but 'unless some kind . projector shall provide
him with such a plan, we much suspect that his means of ac-
complishing mush in that way, will not produce any veny sen-
sible diminution of emir bunion. Still we emaceive that the
country hae iaueli to hope from the declaim of the press.%

Ministers; and even. as we have said before, when'
alluding to " the Book of Numbers," which has been
so triumphantly referred to by opposition pamphlets,,)
we think the little management they displayed, in the elec-
tions, may be. taken as an earnest that something will be
effected by them, to carry in their favour the power of the
people ; and that whatever is done, it will come as near to
leur possible—to use the French phrase—as the circum-
stances of the country will admit.

As one of the most cheering points, to which Englishmen
can at present turn their view, we recommend our readers
to peruse the Speech of his MAIESTY at Lewes. We recom-
mend it to their notice, because we think it evinces that
we have now a Mon A act', who can address his sub-
jects from the heart, and to the heart—one who, setting
aside the tutored pomposity which has been continued so long,
as almost to have brought the kingly office into discredit,
can address his subjects in plain, unsophisticated language
—in language which harmonises not only with all that an,
Englishman fondly cherishes as nationally characteristic, but
with the improved sentiment of the age. We repeat it
and we repeat it, not from courtly sycophancy, but as po-
litically true, that His MAJESTY has come to the throne
of this kingdom, just at the moment when such a Monarch
was required ; and that an unostentatious display of his cha-
racter, such as that which we now refer to, :accomplishes'
more to insure the tranquillity of his people, in these dis-
turbed times, than all that could be done by the laborious
legislation of the British Parliament.

kiCIIVED THIS D•Y.

PARIS, OCTOBER 24.
Yesterday, at 2 o'clock, his Excellency Count d'Ofalia
delivered to the King, at a private audience, the letters from
his Majesty the King of Spain, which accredit him at the
Court of France in character of Ambassador. His Excel-
' leocy was accompanied and presented by Count Mole, Mi-
nister and Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and after-
wards was presented to the Queen, the Princes and Prin-
cesses of the Royal Family. Moniteur—official pal t.

The commission of the Court of Peers proceeded yester-
day to interrogate Berrie; in consequence of his replies, a
special commission has been addressed to Bordeaux.—
Monitescr.

" Malevolence is no way discouraged in seeing their
efforts rendered nugatory by the good sense and good spirit
of the population. These wretches who take the mask of
friends to liberty the better to serve the interests of its most
implacable enemies, posted up yesterday upon the walls of
several quarters of Paris, and also distributed by hand a
Proclamation to the following effect :-
41" PEOPLE !—The Commission charged to repair the dis-
astrous effects in the days of July, have accorded two hun-
dred thousand francs to the Archbishop of Paris ! Poor
man ! It is, without doubt, for the damage he sustained in
the loss of iggers, and the barrels of powder found in his
palace?. IP
" It is false that the Commission for awarding damages
has accorded any thing to M. de Quelen. It is no less false
that either daggers or barrels of powder were found in the
Archbishoprick, and this assertion without foundation proves
that the authors of it were to be found in other ranks than
that of the brave men who entered it on the 27th of July."
—Moniteur.

It is spoken of to-day with more assurance than ever,
that a change will immediately take place in the persons
and system of the Cabinet. M. Laffitte is, it is said,
named President of the Council and Minister of Finances,
M. Odillon Barrot, Minister of the Interior, M. Lamarque,
Minister of War, and M. Merilbon Minister of Public
Instruction. The functions of the Ministers without port-
folios are suppressed. The other members of the Council
are to remain in their respective departments. We are
assured that the Ordonnances will be published in the
Moniteur of Monday.—Journal du Commerce.

We have by express the Gazette de France of yesterday's
date, and papers and letters of Sunday evening.
From the Courrier Francais.

MADRID, OCT. 14.—The Ring has addressed the follow-
ing Royal Decree to the Minister of Justice :
" My will is, that the honours granted to the Prince of
the Asturias ull also be granted to my beloved daughter.
Donna Maria Elisabeth Louise, as she is my heir, and legi-
timate successor to my crown, as long as GOD does not i
give me male descendants. Signed with the hand of the
King. Given in our Palace, Oct. 3, 1830.

" Don Francois Tadao Calomarde."

News from Bayonne give a very satisfactory explanation
of the rumours which have been circulated relative to the
defeat of Valdes. It is now certain that be has not been
defeated ; and whilst he was supposed to be routed, be was
taking up the position which he had occupied at his very
first attack. The reinforcements sent to him by Gen. Mina,
enabled him to proceed ; and we shall soon have intelligence
of some important success. Already a telegraphic despatch,
of the 22d inst. announces that, on the 21st, Mina entered
Vera with 400 men, and had advanced beyond Lessee.—
Some Royal Caribiniers had joined him, and it was gene-
rally supposed that he was marching to Tolosa.

News from Perpignan of the *2oth gives as the information
that the Spanish refugees had not been so fortunate in Ca-
talonia. The column which lately penetrated into that pro-
•ince had been repulsed with loss, and obliged to return to
France through the Illas and Manillas. It appears certain
that 4,000 men, well armed and equipped, have entered the
Spanish territory, and form a body sufficient to bring
over to their party, not only the Constitutionalists, but also
those who hesitated.

P.S. We have been informed this evening that Colonel
Valdes routed a Royalist detachment on the 18th. If he
continues to be thus successful, the road to the Ebrus will
soon be free. Those who have witnessed the first operations
of Colonel Valdes entertain great hopes of the cause he is
defending.

Extract of a private letter from Paris, dated Sunday night
I have this moment heard that the Council is sitting
here for a change of Ministry. It is, therefore, highly pro-
bable that the Ordinance will be published in the Ilioniteur I
of to-morrow. The letters we receive from Malian state
that a tree of liberty bad been planted in the Place Royale.
At Malin's, the greatest excitement prevailed ; and the peo-
ple were in entire possession of tho place. All the streets
had been unpaved, and barricades erected at every point.
Various outrages had been committed, and some symptoms
of a wish had been shown. by the people to burn 'the
houses of some of the obnoxious &nodular:es. On it being
made known to them. however, that the neighbouring houses
wottld inevitably suffer from the soniagratioa, the plan
was abandoned, sad the femoral *Waist PrevesteC

The Funds appear very firm this morning, which may be
attributed to a very hip amount of Stock being taken this
day (it is said to the amount of 800,0001.) by an eminent
Christian broker.

The Express from Paris appears to be of little import.—
French Rentes remain steady.
Consols, which left off yesterday at 841 for the Account,
opened at 84i 1; and are at present SO.—Little or nothing
doing in the Foreign Market.
Accounts from Constantinople state that the Divan expe-
riences great difficulty in procuring the necessary funds to
pay the war contributions; and, on the 20th ult. the Reis
Flendi had a conference with the Russian Ambassador on
that subject. The Grand Seignor is chiefly occupied in or-
ganizing his land and sea forces. The English ships which
were in the Bosphorus left on the 20th Sept. for Maltz, to
remain there during the winter.

The private letters from Berlin and Vienna bring the
Funds, at the above places, from 4 to 5 per cent. higher.
The letters from Holland of this day are rather of a
gloomy description. No energy in the Government, and
the people do not come forward to the assistance of the
King as was at first anticipated.
We have but little information this day, and the arrivals
of a scanty description. Consols, which were firm and
looking up in the early part of the morning, are rather
heavy at present, although the Scotch Banks have made
some investments, and it is said that a large delivery of
Stock has taken place. Consols have been done at 84i
for the Account, and are at present 841 i—same for
Money; little or nothing doing in the Foreign Securities.
We have Cape of Good Hope papers this morning to the
129th July. The Second Anniversary of the Meeting of the
Philanthrophic Society, for the purpose of effecting, by pur-
chase, the emancipation of female slave children, had taken
place. His Excellency, the Governor, filled the chair. It
appears, from the report of the committee, that this excel-
lent Institution has redeemed from bondage thirty-one chil-
dren since the last anniversary, and that the purely benevo-
lent principles on which it is founded have gained the appro-
bation and assistance of many exalted individuals in England
and other countries, as well as in that colony. The com-
mittee expected to obtain from England a considerable addi-
tion to the funds of the Society. The whole amount of the
donations for the last year was 4151. 3s. loid; and the
whole number of female slaves redeemed from captivity since
the formation of the Society, is forty-three. The financial
statement showed a balance, in favour of the Society, of
1111. 13s.
