Eight Days Later from England.
New YORK, Sept. 2s.-This morning our news
schooner Eclipse arrived in town from the Liver
pool packet ship Napoleon, Capt. Smith, which
she boarded last night.

We annex the King Of EngIand's Speech to
both Houses Of Parliament ON their Propagation.
1t will be seen to be mere collection Of words,
and to convey little or no insight into the foreign
policy Of England, or the internal state of that
country. The Radical papers abuse it without
measure: indeed, il is very apparent that the
present Ministry are fast losing all favor with
that party.
1t would appear, from the accounts from Por.
tugal, that DON Pedro's Admiral had attacked
the squadron OF Miguel On the 10Th and II th, and
that, though DOT successful at first, he hoped,
when he had collected all his ships, to give
good account Of the enemy. 1t will require
more decided success on his part to enable him
to continue the blockade Of the two great rivers
Of Portugal. and if the blockade of Oporto is the
object of the expedition from the Tagus, it would
seem that its purpose is temporarily accomplish
ed. On land, although Don Pedro's army is more
than match for the enemy in the field, it ap
pears to be hcmmed in at Oporto by superior num-
bers.
Some Of the leading English Journals, call
Loudly on the British Government TO fly to the
as sistance of Don Pedro, and on the people to
associate IN public meetings and instigate the Go
vernment TO interfere in his favor We appre.
heud from the whole tenor of these accounts that
the situation of Don Pedro is rather critical.
From France we perceive nothing Of import
ancc; nor is there any thing defnitiye in regard
to Belgium and Holland.
The excitement is still kept up in the Ger
man States on the Rhine, in consequence Of the
DEGREES Of the Diet, and it appears to have in
creased in consequence of an attempt to assassin
ale The eldest son of the Emperor of Austria.
which however does not appear to have been con-
nected with any political object.
Shares in the Bank of England had fallen IL
per cent. in consequence of disclosures made at
a meeting Of the proprietors, when it appeared
the contingent fund was much less in amount than
was expected.
Dennis Collins, the Greenwich pensioner, who
hit the King Of England with stone at Ascot
Heath Races, had been found guilty of high trea

PROPAGATION OF PARLIAMENT.
The King this day proceeded in state to the
House of Lords, and proroSued Parliament in
person.
His Majesty, attended by the Great Officers OF
State and the customary retinue, arrived al the
House precisely at , O'Clock.
There were fewer persons collected in the
streets than we ever before remember on any 81.
milar occasion. In fact, the numbers fell far
short of those usually assembled to witness the
Lord Mayors show. His Majesty appeared in
good health. He was, however, received by his
: loyal subjects in the most profound silence. Not
a cheer was given, neither did there appear any
disposition 10 offer mark OF dsapprobaton. -
Ills Majesty having taken his seat on the Throne,
the Usher ol the Black Rod summoned the House
of Commons to their Lordship's Bar. In few
minutes the Speaker, attended by several Mem
bers. entered the House of Lords. when his Ma
jest,, in an audible tone, delivered the following
I most gracious Speech:
