THE KING'S SPEECH.

This day the KING left St. James's Palace in the
usual state, and arrived at the Howie of Lords about
two o'clock, where he opened the Parliament in Person.
His MA.JZITT appeared in perfect health, and repeatedly
acknowledged the enthusiastic cheering of the populace.

The customary forms and honours having been ob-
served, the Commons were summoned to attend, when
the Sl'24lEllll accompanied by a number of Members,
appeared in the House, and the KING delivered the
following mcst gracious Speech from the Throne:

" My Lords and Gentlemen,
" 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►.

4,1 have directed a copy of the Order in Council is-
sued on that occasion to be laid before you, and I con-
fidently trust that you will see sufficient reason for
giving your sanction to the provisoes of that Order, and
for carrying them into effectual execution.

" I have great satisfactiort 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 Burmese territories, have been fulfilled, and
that a peace has been concluded in that quarter, highly
honourable to the British arms, and to the Councils of
the British Government in India.

" I continue to receive from all Foreign Powers, as-
surances of their earnest desire to cultivate the relations
of peace and friendly understanding with me.
" I am exerting myself with unremitting anxiety,
either singly, or in conjunction with my Allies, as well
to arrest the progress of existing hostilities, as to pre-
vent the interruptiop of Peace in different parts of
the World.

a. Gentlemen of the House of Commons,

t have directed the Estimates for the ensuing year
to be prepared, and they will in due time be laid be-
fore you.

" 1 will take care that they shall be formed with as
much attention to economy, as the exigencies of the
public service will permit.
" The distress which has pervaded the Commercial
and Manufacturing Clastes of my subject; during the
last twelve months has affected some irnpot wit brandies
of the Revenue ; but I have the satisfaction of informing
you, that there has been no such diminution in the
internal consumptiun of the Country, as to excite any

apprehensions that the great soureis of out Wealth and
Prosperity have been impaired.

" My Lords and Gentlemen,

" I have deeply sympathized with the sufferings
which have been for sometime past so severely felt in
the manufacturing districts of this country, and I have
contemplated with great satisfaction the exemplary
patience with which those sufferings have been gene-
rally borne.
" The depression under which the Trade and Manu-
factures of the Country have been labouring, has abated
more slowly than I had thought myself warranted in an-
ticipating ; but I retain a firm expectation that this
abatement will be progressive, and that the time is not
distant when, under the blessing of DIVINE PROVI
DIME, the Commerce and Industry of the United
Kingdom will have resumed their wonted activity."

Commercial letters from the coast of the Black Sea,
received at Vienna, state, that 2-peat inactivity prevails
in the military operations of the Russian army in
Georgia, as well as in the Persian army, caused by the
badness of the weather and the roads, that it is almost
impracticable to transport artillery ; and it is believed
that warlike operations will be put off until next Spring.
