bion, Capt. Williams, IN 81 days from
Liverpool, we have received Liverpool
papers of the lst of May, and London
to the evening of the goth of April. The
Courier of the 28th contains the Kings
speech on the opening ofthe new Parlia-
ment. Theanswers to the speech were
carried unanimously in both houses of
Parliament, Even Sir Francis Burdett,
though SO recently convicted of scditious
conduct, expressed his appreciation Of
the Royal address.
The profession of the new sovereign
| to the Parliament houses excited great
attention and interest. The exhibition
was brilliant-the description of the
the throne magnificent.
The trials of Thistlewood, Tugs, Brunt,
Davidson, and Tidd, FIVE of the conspira-
tors, have been finished, and their SEN
fences pronounced in the following
words "That you, and each of you, be
taken from hence to the goal from whence
you came, and from thence that you be
drawn upon hurdle TO place of exc
cution, and be there hanged by the neck
until you be dead, and that afterwards
your heads be severed from your bodies,
and your bodies be divided into four,
quarters, to be disposed Of as his Majesty
shall think fit. And may God in his in
finite goodness have mercy upon your
soul"
The prisoners were then Withdrawn
from the bar, seemingly unaffected.
Accounts from Spain as late as the
18th of April stated, that the different
towns and authorities continued to take
the constitutional oaths and 10 send adj
dresses of congratulation to the King. +.
Advices from Bagdad dated 25th Of
August mention the distresses resulting
from the great heat. The thermometer
in the coolest part of the houses rose to
100 at midnight; in the air 10 1913. Null
titudes Of people in the country and
town dropped down dead in the streets.
The river rose, and became of turbld
red color, and the waters SO offensive it
was Impossible to drink of them. The
people proclaimed the Day of Judgm ent
to be at hand hand, and were preparing
for the awful doom.
The London Globe of April goth,
mentions that a petition of an interesting
nature had been reported TO the French
chamber of deputies. 1t announced the
existence of a formidable conspiracy in
the town of Nismes, in France. Intelli-
gence had been circulated that Napo-
leon had returned.
A II appeopod tn f,e f.Yi at -, Eprlap6
and Scotland, among the radicals. The
ribbonnen in Ireland were now and then
guilty of some excuses.
A considerable improvement hadtaken
place at Manchester in the demand for
goods and cotton yarns.
HOUSE OF COMMONS, April 9TH.
THE KINGS SPEECH
The Speaker stated that the House
had been to the House of Peers, and
heard the speech delivered by his Ma
jesty, Of which to prevent mistakes, he
had obtained a copy. This he read, as
follows: --..sia ~ ~,
My Lords and Gentlemen,
] have taken the earliest occasion of
assembling you here, after having recur-
red to the sense of my people.
In meeting you personally for the first
time since the death Of my beloved ia
Their, ! am anxious to assure you that |
shall always continue to initiate his great
example in unceasing attention to the
public interests, and in paternal solicit,
tude for the welfare of all classes of my
subjects.
i have received from foreign powers
renewed assurances of their earnest de-
sire to cultivate with me the relations of
peace and amity.
Gentlemen of the House of Commons,
The estimates for the present year will
be laid before you.
They have been framed upon princi-
Piles of strict economy; but it is to me
matter of the deepest regret that the
state of the country has not allowed me
to dispense with those additions to our
military force which announced at the
commencement of the last session of
/ Parliament.
The first object to which your a..en.
ton will be directed is the provision to
be made Ter the support OF the civil go-
vernment, and OF the honor and dignity
!. Of the crown.
! leave entirely at your disposal, my
interest in the hereditary revenues; ant!
;, cannot deny myself the qualification Of
declaring, that SO far from desiring any
arrangement which might lead to the
J imposition ofncy burdens upon my PEG
