elf to the determination to which the Hone has
done me the honour now to come."—(Cry of 44 Chair,
Chair?' throughout the Howe).
W. ABBOTT was then conducted to the Chair by the Mover
fed Seconder, Sir John Nichol' and Mr. Cartwright, whence he
yoke as follows:
lc I have again to express the deep sense renter-
tain of the honour you have this day conferred on me,
in re-electing me once more to fill the important sta-
tion of your Speaker, and of the firm reliance I re-
pose on you for the same support I have ever expe-
rienced : so long as this is continued to me, I shall
faithfully discharge the duties incumbent upon me to
perform. I beg to repeat my thanks for your distin-
guished favours, and to assure the House, that from
this moment I am devoted to its service."—(Hear,
how.)
Lord CASTLEREAGH spoke to the following
effect I apprehend that till his Royal Highness
the Prince Regent's intentions in calling this Parlia-
ment together be made known, it will be the pleasure
of the House to adjourn from day to day, withcut
entering upon any business. I therefore rise to offer
a motion to that effect. But previous to coming to
this conclusion, I trust I may be permitted the satis-
faction of congratulating the House on seeing that
seat again occupied by the Right Hon. Gentleman,
whose conduct in it before had secured to him uni-
versal respect and admiration.—(Hear, hear. )_We '
must, as Members of this House, feel it as a matter
of great congratulation to each other, to have an in- I
aividual returned to Parliament whom we can elect
to that situation, in which he has already- so pre.
eminently distinguished himself, to his own honour, I
and to the benefit of the House and of the country.
(Hear, hear.)--It is a matter of congratulation that
the first step we have taken is likely to redound to
the public advantage, and to the general good, as
well as to the particular interest of this assembly.—
(Hear, hear.)— Marked as this election has been by
an universal expression of sentiment that cannot be
doubted, you, Sir, must feel that you possess, its the
Unbounded confidence of this House, the means and
authority necessary to enable you to discharge with
dignity and effect tlut important duties placed in
rotor hands. Under these circumstances, I will not
detain the House longer by dilating on the topics so
ably and fully opened by the Right Hon. Mover,
but conclude by proposing that this House do now
adjourn."—Adjourned till to-morrow.

*e have received Paris Papers one day later than the

diem of private letters of considerable interest, con- p
sietbd with BONAPARTE. 4 disastrous campaign in
Russia. For upwards of a fortnight there had been
no direct communication made through the medium
of the Paris Journals, respecting the French army in
Russia. A general belief, however, was attempted
tb be inspired by persons in office, that the army in
the Notth had gained the borders of Poland in per-
fect safety, where it had found abundance of provi.
lions and good winter quarters. It was also indus,i
triously given out, that a renewed and more compre-
hensive campaign was to commence in spring, and
iv this purpose immense quantities of equipments
fer the army were daily sent off from Paris towards
Poland. Among these were numerous newly in-
vented portable mills for grinding corn, and a large
supply of warm clothing for the troops. These
symptoms of a continuance of the war, are said to
have filled the minds of the inhabitants with addi-
tional gloom and dissatisfaction—the reverses of the
French army in Russia were already generally sus-
pected, and the silence of the public journals was in-
terpreted into a confirmation.

That Bonarinrx will again return to the invasion
of bola, if his person escapes the keen lances and
herder vengeance of the Cossacks, no person who has
teamed his restless and turbulent disposition can
doubt; but is our predictions with respect to his
Meat campaign, bold and sanguine as they were,
hrationbt, considered by many of our Readers, have
14111 Vlore than fulfilled, we may the more freely an- ,
Selline the issue of any future attempt upon Russia.
Willave, therefore,' no hesitation in saying, that the
more numerous the army, and the further it advances
heo Russia, the greater will be the prospects of its
vvarthrow. Again, will the Russian peasants be re-
lay, ed, their rude habitations destroyed ; and again,
*ill regions where fertility used to reigtn be converted
into a wilderness of universal desolation. As the in-
vaders advance, the Russian bayonets "glittering in
the Sun of Austerlitz" will recede only to take a surer
Cm- Clouds of Cossacks incessantly hovering on their
flanks will swarm into the hostile Camp, by night
and by day, and disturb even the scanty repose which
Itch a dreary service can afford. Sterility, famine,
and desolation, will once more mark the face of na-
tore around and behind them.
The French soldiers have experienced all these mi.
Series already: BONAPARTE knows that they feel
them ; " albeit unused to the melting mood," he can-
mt feel them himself ! He will perbapi calculate
von the hazard of the undertaking; but it will be
the calenlation of the cold-bloodeal usurer, when ex-
acting the penaky of his bond. Russia, however,
6s taken a most decided stand against his monstrous
littem of exclusive dominion; and the policy of her

bo-
ed-
Pt*
out
orY-
up;

Imeasnres of resistance art replete with trtie*Tsdorn.
Conscious of her own strength, she leaves to her
heartless aid ignoble enemy the choice of the wea-
pons with which he shall assail her. She thus secures

for herself the incalculable advantage of not appear-

ing to mankind to be the aggressor, but of appealing
to them with a resistless voice for their prayers and
co-operation, while she calls upon her population to

arm in defence of their inheritance, and tb execute yen-

geance upon the heads of those who are violating the
sacred engagements of Tilsit and Erfurth.

In this -aWful and portentous struggle, it is a con-
solation to suffering humanity to find that the mag-
nanimity of the Sovereign of the Russias has kept
pace with the inflexible and virtuous loyalty of his

people. From the instant of his army breaking up
from the entrenched camp at Drissa, he threw him-
self into the arms of his subjects, and, as it the far-

famed fable of Animus had been invented to point
out the resources on which, in perilous times, a great
and good Monarch ought to rely—as often as their

heroic Sovereign was struck to the ground by his

enemy, the Russians armed him with fresh energies

for the combat..

Let France then again buckle on her armour—
Russia, undismayed, will await—nay, she fearlessly

invites a repetition of her blows. Next to Priovi-

DENCE, she may now rely on the tried heroism of her
armies, and on the unfettered energies of her people,
aided by the supplications or the suffering millions,

whose Champion she now is. As her struggle is
Against universal tyranny, so will her success be the
deliverance of all. Her safety will be the best pro-

tection, and her independence the best relief and se.l
curity of the oppressed. Her cause is now that of
freedom ; and every soil trod by the foot of a free-
man, ought to contribute the surplus of its harvests

to her resources. Her contest is that of humanity—
and wherever man draws the breath of life, a portion
of that breath ought to be expended in imploring
blessings on her arms.
_ _ _

It is with Russia alone, we fear, that the fallen na-
tions of Europe can ever hope to rise. The over-
grown Colossus from whose deadly gripe Europe has
long vainly striven to rescue herself can only on its
own element be crushed. The thunder of England

has only frightened its shadow from the ocean, but
the huge mass of ingredients from which the phan-
tom emanated, still remains the same. Some distant
s?arks have been intercepted, but the 'thin furnace
in which the desolation of the Peninsula and the con-
flagration of Moscow was engendered, is still in full
activity. The monster's limbs have been shattered
it is true, by his recent disasters, but his enormous
body is still animated to new by fresh tor.
rents of human blood, To assault his extremities is
perhaps only to provoke his ram and fury, but if wt.
encounter him heart to heart in all his foul dimensions
Iwe may yet destroy him. Another invasion of Rus- ;
sia will bring our presentiments to the test. We have
not yet, however, lost all confidence in PLATUFI and
his Cossacks, nor all hopes from the effect of his Pro-
clamation—The Hero who marries his Daughter,
ought to hate the Indies for her dowry !
We present our Readers with the following extracts
from the French Papers above alluded to. Our occu-
pation of Sicily is still the subject of vituperation w•;t11
' the Editor of the Moniteur. We have also extracted-
! an article from Germany of a Commercial nature, to
prove the great demand for goods, which are, no
Idoubt of English oriing, notwithstanding all the fu-
rious Decrees of the French Emperor.
" PARIS, NOVEMBER 13.

“ His Excellency the Minister at War has ordered
from M. Charles Albert, Mechanician, Rue du Fau-
bourg, St. Denis,- 500 of his portable corn-mills, in-
tended for the Grand Army of the North. These)
mills were finished in the short space of 31 days, and
expedited by the covered waggons belonging to the
Imperial Guards, the drivers of which are directed
to travel post.
44 These mills are so light that they may be con-
♦eyed with great facility to any given spot ; and they
are so constructed, that they may be harnessed to
the back part of a piece of artillery. On the day
they were sent off from Paris, M. Albert gave a
grand fete to his workmen, arid to many of the in•
habitants ; and toasts were drank with enthusiasm for
the prosperity of the Emperor, and the glory of the
Grand Army.
' “ The army clothiers of the Fauzbourgs have been
also in full activity for these several weeks in pre-
paring suitable winter habiliments for our brave
ttOops, which we sent off with the same expeditinn.
Thus the furs which were consumed in the fire at
Moscow, will be replaced by the woollen manufac-
tures of our oirn country, and thus give life and ♦i-
gour to our infant establishments.”
4 NUREMBERG, OCTOBER U.
0 The last fait' at Cobourg closed on the 26th Sep-
tember. It attracted great numbers of Manufactu-
I tens from Bohemia, and several parts of Saxony, par-
t ocularly from Chemnitz, Schleitz, Gotha, Alten-
bourgh, Erfurth, Lusatia, and several cities in Fran-
conia. The principal objects of commerce exposed
for sale, were India mulling, cloths, kerseymers, linen,
ribbons and silks, and jewellery.
gg The result of the fair does not present an encou-
raging prospect with respect to wholesale purchases.
The retail trade, however, was brisk and rapid. The
dealers in woollen -cloth- and India muslin., in parti-
cubs; had great ream OD No satisfied. The taus of

strangers was treat. They atteiwards proceeded to•

lished at Messina and Palermo, concur in proving
that the above unhappy Island is overwhelmed with
the weight of the political evils, of which the English
are the authors. The animosity of parties has now
risen to the highest pitch of exasperation. In order
to occupy and tranquillize the public mind, the Eng-
lish dressed up the phantom of a new Constitution,
but this present was soon discovered to be worthy of
those who gave it. The Sicilian Barons found out
that their pretended allies only wanted to perpetuate
the tyranny of the English. In the :nidst of these
agitations, a dreadful event occurred, as if to form a
diversion in favour of the quarrels of all parties : the
Parliament had met, when, in the very place of their'
assembly, a kind of mine, or rather an incendiary
machine, made an explosion ; which, fortunately,
either from mismanagement or false calculation, did
no mischief, Every attempt to discover the author
of this hideous project was vain l-:-every faction ac_
cused the other, but the sober part of the inhabitants
were of opinion that the true authors only brought
forward this machine in order to form a pretext for
accusations against these whom they wished to render
suspected in the eyes of the people.

" While all these disturbances (brouararns) are
going on, the unfortunate Queen Caroline has less
personal liberty than ever.—King Ferdinand Is not
more at ease. Prince Francis, decorated with the
empty title of Vicar General, has not even the shadow
of authority. Mary of the Banns are endeavouring
to secure themselves and property by flight, from the
disasters which they see hanging over their beads.
—To crown all, the English are about to add to all!
these political evils the horrors of a general famine,)
by sending off tc, their army in Spain the whole of
the little corn which remains in the island."

Yesterday morning the Crown was removed from
the Tower to the King's jeweller's, for the purpose of
being repaired and cleaned. As the PRINCE REGENT
goes in state to open the Session of Parliament, it is
to be carried on a velvet cushion.

Lord GWYDIR, as Great Chamberlain of England,
is arrived in town, to attend his Royal Highness the
PRINCE Rscavr on Monday next, on the opening of
the first Session of Parliament.

The proceedings which attended the meeting of
the new Parliament will be found in another column.
The re-appointment of Mr. Anon', as Speaker,
must diffuse universal satisfaction—his abilities for
the itituation hale long been known and admired by
the public.

The following are understood as sothe of the sub-
jects that will occupy the immediate attention of the
uew Parliament ;-Ist. The Catholic Question.-2d.
The East India Comr.ny's Charter.—ad. The Re-
form of Parliament.-4th. The Conduct of the War.
on the Peninsula—and sth, The State of our Rela.
lions with America. But few of these would come
on, were apprehended, before Christmas; though, it
is said, the Opposition will accelerate. the considera-
tion of the Catholic Question.
On the subject of the momentous questions thus
about to be agitated, we cannot, of course, look for
unanimity. May we not suggest, howevei, that the
sentiments of Individuals and Corporate Bodies may
be conveyed to their Representatives and the Public
through the medium of the Press. In this way there
is at least some chance of the general wishes being
made knows.
The Earl of MOIRA and the Countess of LOUDON
have left town for Donnington, his Lordship's seat
in Leicestershire, where they are to remain for a
fortnight, in order to arrange private affairs, prepa-
. ratory to his Lordship's departure. Of five children,
the three eldest are to accompany their parents, and
the two youngest to remain for some time at home.

Four beautiful Persian horses arrived in town yes-
tents,' • two from the King of PERSIA, and one from
Sir GORE OUSLEY ; three of diem presents to the'
PRINCE REGENT, and the fourth (that from Sir GonE)
to the Marquis Wou.ssLoy.
. The shooting party assembled last week, at Sud-
borne, in Suff,)lk, consisted of his Royal Highness
the PRINCE RooenT, Duke of CEArtencE, Lord YAR-
MOUTH, Lord LO'WTHER, Count MUNSTER, General
LINSENGEN, Colonel BLOOMFIELD, Mr. CONGREVE,
There was great conviviality, and excellent shooting.

Sir S. ROMLLY and Mr. BROUGHAM, report says,
are to be brought into Parliament for Boroughs in
the interest of the Duke of Norfolk.

We mentioned yesterday, in part of our impressions
that an error, or rather an ambiguity, in the transla-
tion of BALLASTEROSIS letter to the Minister of War,
deserved correction. It was not the British, but the
French, that were meant when he speaks of a Nation
with whom the Spaniards had se always cultivated
the best friendship, and of whose bad faith and fair
promises ne person could give a more satisfac-
tory account than the Duke DEJ. INrANTADO."—
The Duke is appealed to, because he was one of those
who were prevailed upon to repair to Bayonne, and
who there had abundant proofs of the fair prorteim gad
bad faith, of NAPOLEON.

Last week about 1000 men from the King'!
German Legion, marched into Lewes, in three di-
visions, from Bexhill, on their route to Portsmouth,

there to embark to j.in the Marquis of Wat.i.iNctii
ToN's army in Spain. Most of them had been
taktn prisoners in the French service, and volunis
Leered from the different prjions•in thich they were
confined. They are for the most part fine looking
young snen ; and their uniform gives them an ap-
pearance very different from that which they exhibited
when they passed through this town, a short rue since,
in their yellow jackets, from the depot, in the isle of
Wight, so join their Legion at Bexhill: •

The -other Judges concurred, and the judgment
*as reversed.

This being Paper Day, the remainder 'nf the day
was spent in the hearing of special arguments.
VALIDITY OF A WRIT.

In a motion to quash some proceedings, some ob-
servations, worthy of notice from Attornies, were
r' made respecting the alledged irregularity of a bill of
Middlesex, in having the incorrect signature of Mark-
' ham and Le Blanc, instead of Law and Le Blanc, as
the. Clerk of the Court.
The Counsel seemed to think that such error alone
IVES a_sufficient reason for setting aside the writ ; but
Mr. Justice Bailey held,. th:it if the writ had passed
the usual offices, and had obtained the regular seals,
that such error was not fatal to the Bill of Middle-
sex; indeed, if it had no signature at fill, he did not
know that the writ would be less valuable. If the
writ had the usual stamp, the regular seals, &c. they
would make it valuable.
JUDGM EN TS.
Giles Carter was brought up to receive the jun-
Ment of the Court, he having been found guilty of
assaulting and obstructing George Edwards, an Ex-
cise Officer, when in the performance of his dusty.—
, The affair took place at Lane, in the County of Glou-
tester, and when Edwards was about to seize some
salt, the assault and obstruction took place. The
salt, it appeared, was being conveyed by land-car-
riage, and the prisoner not having a permit, he not
knowing that one was necessary for such a mode of
conveyance, the officer said he must detain cart, salt,
&c. Hereupon commenced the fray ; but in an affi•
1- davit, Carterexpressed his deep concern that he should
have in any way offended against the laws of his
country. Other affidavits were put in, giving Carter
good character for loyalty, industry, &c.
Sir W. GA RROW merely stated, that there was
0 scarcely any person so ignorant as not to know that
Wit could be preyed the salt had been regularly per-
mitted, and the duty paid, that the cart might have
been restored, whereas it had been condemned.
An affidavit stated, that the Officer said to Carter
your cart may be restored, but I must not be seen
in it" The judgment having gone by default, the
prisoner had the opportunity of swearing last. The
sentence of the Court was deferred, for the purpose
of ascertaining the truth 'respecting the allegation
against the Officer.—Conimitted,. and ordered to . be
brought up neat Term.

As Mrs. Limo, landlady of the Bell and Crown
Inn, Taplow, Bucks, was crossing her garden, about ;
eleven o'clock yesterday se'nnight, she was struck 1
violently on the back of her neck, 4a tall stout man,
who had secreted himselt in the garden ; she fell into'
the fellow's arms, who seized her hands, and drew off;
her rings; attempting to cry out, she received a se- I
cond blow from another man, which struck her against
a tree, and she fell on the ground, at which time she ;
supposes her pockets were cut off, containing £99
in notes, £6 in silver, tied up in a canvas bag, and
about SOs. and some halfpence, loose; and the mourn-
ing.ring of her lately deceased husband. She was
taken up quite insensible, being found by her servant
about twenty minutes after she had left her house,
who was directed by her groans. Mrs. ravibro's pre-
wises had been robbed the previous evening of two
pigs, and it is believed the same villains likewise per-
petrated the above outrage. Two ofEcers of the Po-
lice Office, Hatton-GArden, are gone down to make
Linquiry into this mysterious affair. Mrs. Invisoii is\
