onion. The Deputation having been introduced to
the audience chamber, Signor Calatano addressed his
Royal Highness in the following terms :
May it please your Royal Highness—The Na-1
tionse Parliament, convoked by your Royal Highness
out of the usual course, upon the reception of the
communications from Laybach, has terminated its
Sittings. In the difficult circumstances in which it
WAS placed, it flatters itself that it has acted con-
formably with the wishes of your Royal Highness,
and in a manner becoming the dignity of the Nation,
and the Majesty of the Constitutional Throne.
" May the firmness it has exhibited serve as an
example to other Nations, and fill with terror the
souls of the enemies of this innocent Nation. The
Parliament begs your Royal Highness to assist atathe
closing of jts Ext. aordinary Sittings, unless your
Royal Highness be prevented by other important
affairs of Government.

" We. at the same time, venture to request your
Royal Highness, to honour with your presence the
opening of the Qrdinaty Parliament, which will hold
its first Sitting on the Ist of March, to take into con-
sideration the nomination of Signor Arcovito, to the
office of President. and thatof Signor Poerio to the
office of Vice-President."
His Itnyal Highness replied—

" I aro satisfied with the labours of this Extraordi-
nary Parliament. I am particularly pleased with the
respect and veneration it has displayed towards my
august father, and with the measures it has adopted
for providing for the subsistence of the army destined
to defend the country. I am sorry that it will be
impossible for me to assist at the close of gar: Extra-
ordivaty Parliament, being prevented by important
business. I will, however, assist at the opening of,
the new Session, in March ; and of this you may ;:s-
-sure the Parliament."

The d4y before yesterday, the 28th of February,
his Royal Highness addressed the following Letter
to the Deputies of the Parliament:

" GESTLiou,s—Tht Extraordinary Parliament, which this
day closed its Sittings, is entitled to my perfect approbation for
the respect which it has exhibited towards the King, my august
father, as %%1,11 as for the moderation and wisdom it has displayed
iu its deliberations.

" Adhering to the wishes of the Nation, in continuing true to
the oaths by which each individual is bound, and maintaining
thz most perfect harmony with the Goveinnient, the Parlia-
ment has most r:alowdy furnished the necessary means for the
.:.fence of the national independence.

" I am equally pleased to express to you the satisfaction I
teal in seeing that, notwithstanding the fervour of the national
enthusiasm for the common defence, nothing' has occurred to
disturb the order and tranquillity of the Capital or the Pro-
vinces; and that; on the contrary; each citizen has been markedly
emulous to concur in supporting good order, to the maintenance
of which I feel how much the conduct of the Repreientatives
of the Nation has contributed.

" The justice of our cause authorises us to hope that the Con
of Armies will approve our efforts, and lend his •11-powerful arm
to conduct us to •ictory, by which we may obtain a glorious
peace. (Signed) FRANCIS, Regent."

Yesterday morning, the National Parliament opened
its Session for 1821. His Royal Highness the Prince
Regent assisted at the solemn ceremony, with her
Royal Highness the Duchess of Calabria, his wife,
his august family, and the Prince of. Salerno, his
brother. The Court was in full state : the Royal'
party entered the Chamber amidst the applauses of
an immense number of spectators.
After ascending the Throne, his Royal Highness
said—" Gentlemen—The great prudence and ener-
getic measures adopted by the Extraordinary Parlia;
meat, which yesterday closed its Sittings, have fur-
nished all the necessary means for placing our loved
country in a situation to defend itself vigorously,
and to support the constitutional Throne of my au-
gust Father. The ccnduct of the last Parliament in-
spires me with the greatest confidence that, in this
new Session, you will continue with the same enthu-
siasm, and with the same wisdom, to provide every
means of rendering us more formidable to the unjust
aggressors of our country.

44 You must feel assured that, on my side, I have
spared no trouble or care to second, with the greatest
possible promptitude, your multiplied and admirable
efforts, tending to maintain our national independence
with vigour and magnanimity. You may, therefore,
Test assured that I will employ all the means which
the Constitution gives to the Executive Power, in
osier to effect the desired object of repelling the
aggression of the enemy.
• For this purpose I intend, conjointly with my
beloved brother, to appear before the Army, in order
to give it an unegqivocal assurance that I watch over
its interests, and will provide for its wants ; and that
while I traverse the districts which it occupies, I will
a1,.0 interest myself in everything that cdncerns
those provinces.

.$ I confidently hope that our troops of every de-
scription will, by their bravery, and the ardent love
they bear their country, intimidate our unprovoked
aggressors, repulse thus', and adorn themselves with
the laurels of a glorious victory. and that they may
finally re-enter into the bosom of their families, and
enjoy in tranquillity the blessings of peace.
.1 In the meantime may perfect harmony reign
amongst you ; and may you, in all your thoughts and
all your actions, display those admirable virtues
which may render you estimable even in the eyes
your enemies, by chewing that you are worthy of the
liberty you enjoy."
At the conclusion of his speech his Royal Highness
