THE QUEENS SPEECH AT THE OPENING OF THE

LONDON, Feb. 5.-The following is the
Queens speech ut the reopening Of Parlia-
ment to-day:
MY LORDS In again recurring to your
advice and assistance, l am happy to inform
you that my relations with foreign Powers
are on a friendly and satisfactory footing.
/ hope that the war which Prussia, Austria,
and Italy have been engaged in may lead
to the establishment Of o durable peace in
Europe.
l have suggested to the Government of
the United States q mode by which the
questions pending between the two countries,
arising out Of the civil war, may receive an
amicable solution, and which, If met, as
trust it will be, in q corresponding spirit, will
remove all grounds of possible misunderstan-
ding, and promote relations Of o cordial friend
ship.
The war between Spain and the Republics
Of Chill and Peru still continues, the Offices
Of my Government, in conjunction with that
Of the Emperor Of the French, having failed
to effect reconciliation. If, either by
agreement between the parties themselves,
or by the mediation Of any other friendly
Power, peace should be restored, the objects
which had in view will be equally attained
The discomfort prevailing in some OF the
provinces OF the Turkish Empire has broken
out in actual insurrection in Crete. In COM
mon with my allies, the Emperor Of the
French and the Emperor Of Russia, have

these internal disturbances but joint efforts
have been directed to bring about improved
relations between the Porte and its Christian
subjects, not inconsistent with the sovereign
rights OF the Sultan.
The protracted negotiations which arose
out Of the acceptance by Prince Charles, Of
Hohenzolern, of the Governorship Of the
Danuban Principalities, have been happily
terminated by an arrangement which has
been sanctioned by the concurrence of all
the Powers which signed the treaty Of 1856.
Resolutions in favor Of more intimate
union Of the provinces Of Canada, Nova
Scotia, and New Brunswick have been passed
by their several Legislatures, and delegates
duly authorized, and representing all classes
Of the Colonial party and opinion, have con-
CURED in the conditions upon which such a
union may be best effected. In accordance
with their wishes, bill will be submitted to
you which, by the consolidation Of Colonial
interests and resources, will give strength to
the sovereign provinces as members Of the
same empire, animated by the feelings OF
| loyalty to the same sovereign.
have heard with deep sorrow that the
calamity Of famine has pressed heavily on
my subjects in some parts OF India. 1nstruc-
tions were issued to my Government in that
country to make the utmost exertions to
mitigate the distress which prevailed during
the autumn Of last year. The blessing of an
abundant harvest has, since that time, i'm
proved the condition Of the suffering dis
| tricts.
The perseverng efforts and the unscrupu.
lous assertions Of reasonable conspirators
have, during the last autumn, excited the
hopes of,somc disafected persons in Ireland
and the apprehensions Of the loyal popula-
tion, but the firm and temperate exercise Of
the powers entrusted to the executive, and
the hostility manifested against the con-
spiracy by men Of all classes and creeds,
have greatly tended to restore public conf
dence, and have rendered hopeless any at
tempt to disturb the general tranquility.
trust that you will consequently be ena-
bled to dispense with the continuance ofany
exceptional legislation for that part Of my
.dominions.
acknowledge with deep thankfulness to
Almighty God the decrease which has taken
in the cholera and in the pest which has at
tackled our cattle; but the continued preva-
enCe of the latter in some foreign countries,
and its occasional temperance in this coun-
| try, will render necessary some special
measures Of precaution and / trust the visi-
tation of the former will lead to increased
attention to those sanitary measures which
experience has shown to be the best pre-
yentive.
Estimating as of the highest Importance
an adequate supply of pure water, ] have
| directed the issue Of a commission 10 inquire
into the best means Of permanently securing
such a supply for the metropolis, and for the
| principal districts Of the Kingdom.
Gentlemen of the House Of Commons, |
have directed the estimates for the ensuing
year to be laid before you. They have been
prepared with due regard to economy and
the requirements Of the public service. You
will, ! am assured, give your ready assent to
moderate expenditure calculated to i'm.
prove the condition of my soldiers, and to
lay the foundation of an efficient army Of
reserve.
My Lords and gentlemen, your attention
| will be again called to the state oil the repre-.
sentation of the population in Parliament,
