His Majesty, attended by the Great Officers
of State and the customary retinue, arrived
at the House precisely at 2 O'clock.

the Lord Mayors show. His Majesty appear
ed in good health. He was, however, receiv-
ed by his loyal subjects in profound silence.
Not cheer was given, neither did there APP
pear any disposition to offer a mark of disap-
probation. His Majesty having taken his seat
on the Throne, the usher Of the Black Rod
summoned the House of Commons to their.
LOrdships' Bar. In few minutes the Speak,

House of Lords, when his Majesty, in an au-

disturbances in ireland, notwithstanding the
vigilance and energy displayed by my Gov

taken to repress them. The laws which have
been passed, 10 conformity with my recon-
inendation at the beginning Of the session
with respect to the collection Of tithes, are
well calculated to lay the foundation of new

ton Of Parliament, when it again assemblies,
