LONDON, Nov. 10. - Parliament was
opened to-day in accordance with the re-
cent proclamation. The Queen was not
present, and the speech was read by the
Royal Commissioner from the throhe. The
substance Of the speech il as folIows:
King Theodore, having rejected all de-
mands of Great Britain for the release OF
subjects, cruelly and without just cause
imprisoned by him, her Majesty had no
alternative but to send military expedi-
ton to Abyssinia; and reference is made
to the supply bills Eeedful 10 defray the
expenses of the var.
The invasion of the Papal territory ia
now over, and the hope is expressed that
the Emperor Napoleon will soon withdraw
his forces from Italy, and avoid unfriendly
relations with Victor Emanuel.
Fenianism, repressed in Ireland, has
taken the form of organized violence and
murder in England, where it must also be
repressed BY the firm fnlfllment of law and
by the loyalty of the people.
The speech concludes with the promise
that Her Msjesty's government will bring

and ireland, and other domestic measures
ofen important character.
In the House of Commons the address
to the Queen was moved by Sir William
Hartdyke, and seconded by Colonel James
Hogg. Ting address in the House of Lords
was proposed by the Earl of Brownlow,
and seconded by Lord Lytton. Both adj
dresses echo the speech Of the Queen.
In the House of Commons this evening,
Lord Stanley made some explanations in
connection with recent events on the con-
tinent. He said England had been invited
to join general European conference, but
had refused to do unless distinct plan of
action was first proposed. Lord Stanley
thought participation in such a Congress
would only add TO the responsibilities of
England, without doing any good. Nearly
all the members who spoke tonight took
occasion, in the course of their remarks,
to condemn the recent action of France in
sending military expedition to Italy.
In the House of Commons to-day, an
inquiry was made as to whether the gov
ernment had received any official informa-
ton of the reported calamity at Tortola
Mr.. Adderly, Under Secretary for the col
onies, replied that the colonial Office had
received no such advices, and that the
story was doubtless great carnard.
The Queens speech to Parliament and
the pacific address of the Emperor Napo-
leon to the French Chambers, have had
tranquillizing effect upon Europe, and tend
to restore confidence at all the principal
political and financial eenters.
The Times warmly praises Napoleon,
and regards his speech as the most liberal,
peaceful and sensible of the second En-.
pire.
MANCHESTER, Nov. 20.-As the day for
the execution of the condemned Fenians
approaches, the government redoubles its
precautions against any attempt at rescue.
Regular troops have been pouring in here
by railroad for two or three days, and the
city is now crowded with soldiers.
In addition to the military force here,
the municipal authorities have provided
for the security of the peace by swearing
in at the town hall over 1000 citizens to
act as special police on the day Of the exer
cution.
