IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS, Nominal' 21.

At one o'clock, the LORD CHROCILLOR took his seat on the
Woolsack, the beaches immediately below which were octeopied
by the Judges.

• Prayers were read by the junior Prelate, the Bishop of LLASIDA.D.
Shortly after several Peers entered the House in their full robes.
The Royal Dukes of Ctrazuce and Gimucesrsa the Duke of
BUCILIMIIAM, the Duke of Sommer, the Marquis Of %Fulminate,
the Marquis of Anousaa, Lord Gwvora, and Lord TETOUAN,
took the oaths. Amongst those who, by courtesy, were admitted
to the body of the IHouve, we noticed the Prince Rareanosr,
Prince POLIONAC, Prince Lumen, and others of the Foreign Ana-
bassadots. The benches on which. the Peers usually take their
seats, were filled wish Peeresses,and other Ladies of distinction con-
nected with the Court. The railing which usually surrounds the
Chair had been removed, and the Chair brought forward several
feet. The scene now was particularly imposing, and every eye was
turned towards the door through which his Abases", was to enter.
At eight minute. before two o'clock a discharge of artillery an-
nounced the arrival of his blasarry in his robing-room. At tw•
precisely his Mammy presented himself, and was conducted to
the Throne by the great. Mars of &ate, the Karl of Lrszasoot.,
holding the Sword of State, and the Marquis of Watenurrsa, the'
Cie of Maintsoance. Lord MOUNTCHADLIDI and other diedn-1

OD his MAJesTY.

Hls Neaten' being seated on the Throne, Sir TnexasTrawarTe,
the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod, was 'ordered to summon
the attendance of the Commons. _

During the absence of the Black Rod, Ids MAJINTY conversed
with Lord Lavaarnot. and the other Peers who surrounded the
Royal Person. His hisacrrv's countenance was rather pallid, but
his general health appeared to be excellent.

The STEALER having appeared at the Bar in full dress, and at-
tended by a considerable number of the Members of the House of
Commons, his Musser delivered his most gracious Speech, which
appeared in-the Sraa of yesterday.
/His Mastery delivered the Speech with a firm, distinct, and au.,
dible voice. •He theA rose, and, gracefully bowing to the Assent-
bly, retired.
The and Members of the House of Commons then
i withdrew, and, in a few minutes, the House was cleared.

A few minutes before five o:clock, the LORD Catamozon te-
amed Ids seat on the Woolsack.

.The Earl of LIVER POOL moved the first reading of the Select
Vestries Bill.—Ordered.

TN 1 ADD R lIIS.

His Maarres Speech having then been read aloud by the Loan
Cnancawon from the Woolsack, and by the Clerk at the table,
Earl CORNWALLIS then rose, and spoke as fol-
lows:—In rising to move the Address, I, trust I shall
meet with that kind indulgence which others, standing
in my place, have invariably experienced. For the
communication respecting the admission of some de-
scriptions of foreign grain, before the time allowed by
law, there can, I should hope, be no objection to thank,
his Majesty ; as it will be no bar to future discussion,
when the Order in Council shall be laid upon your
table. In looking to the East Indies, the termination,
of the Burmese war affords ample scope for congratu-
lation; as I trust that our vast possessions in that quar-
ter will no longer be exposed to inroads of a similar
description. In turning to the Continent, it is highly
gratifying to be told of the friendly disposition existing
there towards this country; which I attribute, in a
great measure, to the wise policy which his Majesty's
Ministers pursued respecting the war between France
and Spain. 'there were two parties—the one the ever
faithful supporters of existing abuses; the other, the no
less dangerous abettors of revolutionary movements,
who were anxious to enlist this country under their
banners. Each was telling his Majesty's Ministers what
tone they should hold, and what position they should
take up; but they wisely chose their own position, and
*at upon neutral ground. The late war, will, I trust,
a pretty good lesson to the present, and to all future
Ministers, not hastily to embark their country in a conti-
nental conflict; and it is most satisfactory to be told that
his Majesty. in conjunction with his Allies, is endeavour-
ing, nut only to al nett the progress of hostilities, but also
to put an end to those which already exist. In referring
to that part of his Majesty's most gracious Speech
which relates to the Finances, I see much ground for
hope, and none for despondency. During the last eight
years, tales to the amount of 26 millions have been
repealed. and still the income, up to January, 1826,
has been equal to the demand upon it, and since that
time the deficiency has been less in each succeeding
quarter. In connexion with the distress in the manu-
facturing districts, I will briefly recur to the internal
state of the country at different periods since the con-
clusion of the late war. The restoration of peace did
not at first bring with it its usual blessings, security,
and content—but, on the contrary, poverty, distress,
and a long train of ills. Our manufactures were dimi-
nished, and a want of employment had easeadeted a

.
greet degree-of dissatisfactioh in different classes of the
community: Sinee that period the pictu're Was for a
short time most pleasingly reversed; our us inificturent
were folly employed; our credit had reached its higheit
pitch; agriculture, fog, was resitting its proper posi;
tion in the different interests of the country, and that
too from natural causes, And without any interference
of Parliaments ndt that Parliament war unwilling
to interfere; but that Parliament declined interfering;
because she could not interfere With effect: This
was the state of things, when, owing to a plethora
of riches, speculations, which for number, folly, find
absurdity, never were exceeded, produced a panic in the
mercantile werld, And A idn upon All the tonnity; and
most of the London bankers: these, my Lords, and
not the Corn Bill (thdugh I am no friend to the Corti
its present form), were the real eau*: of thoie
heart-rending distresses, which hake beeti borne with
such exemplary firmness in the mannfatturing districts;
and which, we are to day told, froth the Throne, arts, id'
some degree, abating. 'this would not have been the
case had there been Much reiemblancebetwateli the panic
of 1825 and that of 17917. In 1797, disastrbls events
followed in quick succession: a rebellion hi irelinti—t
mutiny in the navy—a run upon the Bank—and war
in its most appalling aspects :—ie 1825, we were in a
state of peace, and order and due submission to the
laws preirailed (with very little exception) in every part
of the country. I cannot sit down without reminding
your Lordships of his Majesty's parental anxiety for his people. At
an early period of his roles; when every class of the community wet
suffering from the tramitiOn from War to peace; he tare op part of
Ms lisosnee for** sense. eladi what be has done within die last
year is too wee known to year Ladd*, and-1 hope too deeplY
ragmen in the baits of his amble& tei require any edatibtat fried
nam—(Rear, bear.) Mss Lordship riencluded by moving the Addle*
which was as usual, an echo to the area.
Lord lOLVILLE, in rising to second the Motion of
the Noble Earl, could not but feel that he stood in nett
of that indulgence which their Lordships were In the
habit of sheering, arid he hoped that the motion would
not salter from failing into the hands of a man who
could give it such feeble support: With tespeet to the
special purpose for Which Parliament had been assent&
bled. he did not think that tay person could disapa
prove of his Majesty's Ministers for hiving issued, Oh
their. own responsibility an Order in Council, and thee
called Parliament together as soon as possible, to prose
its necessity and sanction what they bad done. He
was aware that it was a departure from the system
required by the existing laws, but he expected that
no man would have an objection to such a meil
sure when their Lordships reflected, that unless it
had been adopted, it would have been impossible
to supply the pressing wants of the country for Olds
until the 15. h of November, when the averages would
be taken. He also rejoiced in the realisation of the
hopes expressed by his Majesty at the close of the last
Session respecting the speedy termination of the Burme,e
war. A war which was undertaken under circumstances
of peculiar difficf lty. as it was scarcely practicable to
obtain any local knowledge of the country to guide att.
Invading army. By the energy of the Indian Govern.
'went, however, and by the great abilities and perste.
verance of the Officers, and the good conduct of
the soldiers and seamen, both British and nativ,
those difficulties had beene overcome, and peace bad
been obtained equally honourable to the British arms
as satisfactory to the Government. There was
also a brilliant exploit to which he would direct
their Lordships' attention. He meant the capture of
the fortress of Bhurtporel. which gave us security that
the tranquillity of 'our Indian Empire would not soon
again be disturbed. It was a glad consideration that •
most of the nations of Europe still enjoyed peace after
a war of unprecedented duration ; and it was gratifying
to know that his Majesty continued to receive from
them all assurances of unshakeh amity, and that in con.
junction with his allies he was doing every thing in his
power to arrest the progress of hostilities in whatever
part of the world they might exist. The Noble Lord
then alluded to the distress suffered by the migmatite.
toren, and the consolation to be derived from their padmit ribm,
dience to the laws of the country. In fact, the creadite ensues
had given the strongest proofs of being fully sensible that theft
tresses sprung from causes over which aim had no eastred, gala
that the vigilant attendee if his Majesty's Milsters widen*
mit any opportunity auditing and relkving them to pea
Much was to be expected from time and from patience mem di&
cultic, and distresses. Already were those distresses drereedes
and every thing announced that shortly au commerce weal Mt
restored to that prosperity which it tvas west to !miry, sad wadi
replace the country on that eminent height WWI It WM aid
to stand.

Lord KING had no objection to the Address. Its
only fault Was that it did not go far enough. It did not
adequately desct ibe the state of the country. He should
therefore move an amendment to supply its deficiencies.
Something was said in the Speech respecting distress
and its consideration, but not much to the purpose. He
saw no remedy proposed ; no determination expressed
to reduce the expenditure of the country,withont which
there could be iso cure, He saw no allusion to any
other measure, however necessary. In fact it was merely
" vas et pratersa nihil:"—mere opiates, and of those
we had had enough already. The new Parliament
should acknowledge and abandon the sins and igno.
maces of the last, and determine to lead a new life.
The late Parliament might have done much good if it
had taken the abolition of the Corn Laws from the
Noble Earl opposite (Liverpool), and reduction of ex-
penditure from his own side of the House. But it would
do no such thing. It was an Army-voting—a Palace-
voting Parliament, and he hoped this one would do no-
thing of the kind. The late Parliament had done some
corrupt acts, and some foolish ones. Among the latter
was the throwing of a dead weight upon the country,
which was felt though not understood, and which
it was a question whether the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, who proposed it, understood himself.
The present Parliament had met to indemnify Ministers
for having allowed the importation of oats into the
United Kingdom at a time when the ports were shut.
To this be had no objection ; but he wished that they
should do more. The last Parliament was a dois lesfner.
It had taken ten years to learn a lesson of common
policy t two years-to learn the effects of a transition
trona war to peace; one year or two to acquire the doc-
trine of over production, and one or two to learn how
to dig holes and then fill them up. The next hardest
lesson which it had learned was the Canada Corn Bill.
At Westminster school they took ten years to teach lon
