Delaware gazette and American watchman. [volume] (Wilmington, Del.) 1828-1837, 1832-09-28

Our news scHOoner Iclpsd DodTueu yesterday
afternoon the packet North. America, Capt Macy
from Liverpool whence she sailed on the 18th Au-
gust.
The Editor of the Courier and Enquirer has re-
ceved by this opportunity, regular files of London
papers and Lloyds Lists to the ming of the 10th
August being one day latert than those received by
the Sovereign on Saturday. The Liverpool papers
are to the 18th of the same month.
We have already stated that the British Parlia-
ment was to be prorogued on the 18th August.
We extract from the London Times, summary
of the probable contents of the Kings Speech
which will be pronounced on that occasion.
There seems 10 be growing belief in England,
Holland and Belgium that the terms of separa-
ton between the two latter countries are about 10
be adjusted, yet so repeated have been the disap-
pointments this question has given rise to, and so
fertile have all speculations proved in relation to
it, that we abstain from copying the opinions, now
put forth by the different Journals on the subject.
In relation to Portugal we find il stated from
London the 10th tive understand the Portu-
CUES agents in this country have dismissed the whole
of the transports engaged for the expedition with
the exception of about 5000 tons. This evinces,
at least, great confidence in the ultimate success
of the constitutional cause. A treaty is further
said to be in progress with the Post-of1ice, on be-
half of the Government of the young Queen of
Portugal, for the establishment of packets TO run
between Oporto and Falmouth, on alternate weeks
to those employed by the English Post-office The
impression is now becoming very general, that
though the contest may be very tedious 1.-The
constitutional cause must ultimately succeed"
Paris dates had been received in London of the
18th August. The King and Queen of the Belgi.
ans had left COmpegne for Brussels, and the Court
of Louis Philip was about to return to 81. Cloud.
Our private Correspondence from Paris is to the
18th, but we are compelled by press of adver-
tisements, very reluctantly, TO delay its publica-
ton till tomorrow. We can but find space for
short letter from Compiegne.
From published statement ii appears, there has
been a considerable dminution in the amount of
most articles consumed in England during the
present year; it is ascrbed partly 10 the Cholera
and to the Reform Bill but the greater portion it
is said, arises from the want of means among the
people generally, to obtain those comforts which
they formerly considered indispensable.
THE KINGS SPEECH.
From the London Times Of August l6.
1t cannot DO expected that we should have any
accurate knowledge of the contents of the speech
from the Throne, which is 10 be delivered by His
Majesty to Parliament this day. Looking, however,
at the abours of the past session, and at the pros.
pect of affairs both at home and abroad, it is not
difficult TO conjecture what topics His Majesty will
touch upon in his speech.
The heightened labour which the Parliament has
bestowed upon the great measure of reform must
necessarily be alluded to,-and it is hardly posi-
Bile that His Majesty can fail to vindcate the mo-
posal OF that measure, against the senseless de-
CARNATIONS Of the Anti-reforming faction, by show
ing that the object of bringing it forward was to
take away Just causes of complant,-to ncTese tho
attachment of His Maiesty's subjects to the fixed
institutions Of the country, and thereby add 10 the
security oil those institutions. Ireland must of
course hgure in the speech; and, as usual, the
mention of that part Of the United Kingdom must
be aCcOmDaninu nv lamentations f,r tI,o .z.,...
ance OF disturbance there. The Parliament, now
about TO separate, has not, we know been able In
devise any means for the removal of this constant
subject of regret in speeches from the Throne and
we are afraid, therefore, that His Majesty to-day.
as heretofore, be compelled to dismiss it with The
accustomed trust in the vigilance and energy of
the Government fol the repression of the distur-
Dances complained of.
From the peaceful aspect of foreign affairs, in
relation to England, there can be no doubt that
Ills Majesty Will inform the Parliament that he
continues to receive the most friendly assurances
from foreign Powers; and these assurances will
probably be considered by His Majesty as ground
OF confidence that the general peace on the Com
tlnent Will not be disturbed, although the subject
of dispute between Holland and Belgium is not vet
adjusted, and contest is in progress in Portugal.
II the decrease of the revenue alluded to, His
majesty VIII not trail to observe, that the great
cause of such decrease will be found in the repeal
OF some OF the taxes; and this alusion will give
Ills Majesty an opportunity of expressing his con-
gratulatlons to the House of Commons, notwith-
standing the falling off of the revenue, they had
been able, by economy and retrenchment, to pro.
vide for the service of the year, without any addi-
ton to the public burdens.
So much has been lately said about excitement.
and Intimidation, and unconstitutional demeanour.
that His Majesty will probably express a hope
that, during the recess, the Lords and Gentlemen
Will by their presence and example, aid in pres
CRYING public tranquility, and the authority Of the
law, and discourage all illegal proceedings. If
His Majesty, in conclusion, should express his
conviction that the redress of well-founded causes
OF complaint, will be sought only by Legitimate
means. His Majesty will do no more than Justice
to the intelligence, the good conduct, and the low
to reign.

Hancock, OF Stratford, made the first public exper.
