BUmII tv..xG S SPKKCII. L iM)ON, Feb. 8. T d dav )arliament assembled for the d'''patch f bui..ess and, as the state of .i- rn ij;sf v's health was not such a rendered it advia'de for hirn to undergo the fatiu of opening the session in person, the ral speech was delivered by the lord commissioners, appointed for that purpose. The lord correni-sioiiers took their eats

; oo the wools ick at half past two, when the

1 1 )u" of C in:n )as being summoned to atle td, the speaker, accompanied by a great many members, appeared below the bar. The lord chancellor having read the commission bv wtiicli their lordships were appointed to represent his majesty on the occaioo, the nolde and learned lord then proceeded to deliver the following speech: lords and frrnthnicn :

We are c nanaiab d by his majesty to

express to you the gratification which his maj".tv derives from the continuance and progressive increase of that public prosperity upon which his majesty congratulated

von at the opening of the last session of

parliament. There never was a period in the history of this country, when all the great interests of the nation were at the same time in so thriving a condition, or when a feeling of content and satisfaction was more

w idely dillued throughout all classes of

the British people. It is no small addition to the gratification of bis majesty, that Ireland is participating in the general prosperity.

The outrages, for the suppression of

which extraordinary powers were confided to his majesty, have so far ceased, as to warrant the suspension of the exercise of those powers in most of the districts 1 1 e re t o fore disturbed. Industry and commercial enterprise are extending themselves in that part of the united kingdom. It is therefore the more to be regretted, that associations should exist in Ireland, which have adopted proceedings irreconcileable with the spirit of the constitution, and calculated, by exciting alarm and by exasperating animosities, to ei dai ger the peace of society, and to retard the course of national improvement. His majesty relies upon your wisdom to consider without dfday, the means of applying a remedy to .."sevil. Ilia majesty further recommends to you

fore vou ; )n . .;. r. .nonto oicti have been entered into with the kingdoms of Denmark and Hanover, for improv ing the commercial intercourse between those states and the United Kingdom. A treaty, having for its object the more effectual suppression of the slave trade,

has been concluded between bis majesty and the king of Sweden ; a copy of w hich treaty, as soon as the ratifications shall have been exchanged, bis majesty will direct to be laid before you. S me difliculties have arisen with respect to the ratification of the treatv for the same object, which was negotiated last vear between his majesty and the United States of America. These ditlh ulties, however, his majesty trusts, will not finally impede the conclusion of so beneficial an arrangement. In conformity to the declarations which have been repeatedly made in bis majesty's name, bis majesty has taken measuies for confirming, by treaties, the commercial relations already subsisting between this kingdom and those countries of America which appear to have established their separation from Spain S soon as these treaties shall be completed, his majesty will direct copies of them to be laid before you. Mis majesty commands us not to conclude without congratulating you upon the continued improvement in the state of the agricultural interest, the solid foundation of our national prosperity: nor without informing you, that evident advantage has been derived from the felief which you have recently given to commerce by the removal of inconvenient restrictions. Hi majesty recommends to you to persevere (as circumstances may allow) in the removal of similar restrictions and his majesty directs us to assure you that you may rely upon his majesty s cordial co-operation in fostering and extending t"at commerce, which, whilst it is, under the blessing of Providence, a main source of strength and power to this country, contributes in no less degree to the happiness and civilization of mankind.''

Conjugal Happiness. A man advertises in the Hamilton paper, that he will pay no debts of his wife's contracting, as thb is the fourth time she has left him.

thought lie would be obliged to return home without accomplishing the object of his mission. It is said the king of Spain has announced bis intention to bold no diplomatic intercourse with any power which shall make treaties with bis insurgent colonies. It is confirmed that the Portuguese ministry has been changed according to the Irishes of the British ambassador. Later. By a vessel arrived at NewYork. I lie editors of the American received Paris papers to the 14th Feb. from which the following extracts are made. Ibrahim Pacha is stated by the Austrian Observer of the 10th Jan. t: have first disembarked bis troops on the Isle of Candia, where be dismissed his transport vessels, and determined to effect a descent on the IVIorea, from his ships of war. Having re

ceived by a French frigate a supply of

2,000,000 of dollats he subsequently effected a landing at Modon of 3000 men, and immediately sent back his squadron of 16 ships, to bring a further reinforcement. From the suspicious source whence the above proceeds, and from all previous account?, there is little credit to be attached to it. Indeed, in a note of the same paper, it is allowed that the arrival in Greece of the last instalment of the English loan, had established the superiorly of the patriots A loan of from ten to fifteen millions of francs had been negociated in Paris, for the Greek government. Accounts from Missolongbi of Dec. 12, state, that a British frigate had just arrived with intelligence of a third victory.

This battle was fought on the 3d of Dec. in which the Greeks gave a deadly blow to the Egyptian naval forces upon the coast, near the island of Crete. Twelve large transports, captured in this engagement, had arrived at Napoli, having on board 3000 negro soldiers, 400 Sorses, and a large quantity of provisions. Besides the transports captured, 1 5 of the Turkish squadron, and a fine frigate were burned. Accounts received at Boston from Smyrna, slate, that positive information had been received, that a portion of the Greek vessels left Hydria on the 25th Dec. intending, it was believed another attack on the Turkish fleet. Canaris was in the fleet, in a lire 6hip given to him by the Greek government. The captain Pacha Was at Constantinople. The British Traveller of the 20th of January contain the following tribute of

times to such a degree, that parts oi the leaves may be lifted by a magnet. These particles- may occasionally be detected at the bottom of a tea-cup. H AYTI. The accounts which we have seen from the free people of color, who left the United States to settle in Hav ti, are very satisfactory. The government appears to have realized every promise made by Mr. Granville, and about 270 of the emigrants are located at Samana, where land has been given tothemron which some are already at work to improve, and are much encouraged to be industrious. The mechanics seem to do excellent! well in the town?; arid there is every prospect that the condition of those who are sober and discreet will be greatly ameliorated, at an earlv dav. JViles. A communication has been made to the assembly of Upper Canada from the British government,- offering to loan to the province the sum of JC70,000 for the purpose of making a canal from lake Ontario to the river Ottowa, provided the legislature of

the province w ill secure the payment of it by a specific tax. In Lower Canada, the law provides that, before the creditor commits the debtor to prison, he must make oath that he knows he is immediately about to leave the Province. A usurer recently appeared before a magistrate, and demanded upon such an oath the arrest and commitment of a person who owed him money, but who had secured the payment of principal and interest, 6y an ample mortgage; for this commitment, the debtor brought a suit against the creditor, and recovered twentytwo hundred dollars. The debt was 1C00 dollars. The Legislature of Virginia have passed an act, during its present session, which requires the Storekeeper of the Penitentiary to deliver, for the use of the Colonists at Liberia, on the western coast of Afriea, to an agent who may be authorized by the hoard of Managers of the Richmond and Manchester Colonization Society, such implements of husbandry, clothing, and other necessary articles, manufactured at the Penitentiary, as shall be specified by by the said Board, not exceeding in value the sum of 500 dollars, to be estimated at the lowest cash price at which such articles are sold in the Penitentiary store. This mode of affording aid was suggested by the Managers, in their Memorial to the General Ansrsbly.

So thick is the ice and so strong the current, the water being from 10 to 70 feet deep, that some huge cakes were thrown up near 50 feet. It is now solid and affords a passage for teams. The ice on the canal at Rochester, has disappeared, and a canal boat bad ahead made its appearance. Indeed Spring bad

Canal. Tin? inhabitants of Manchester Vt. held a meeting on the 9th ult. for the purpose of concerting measures foropering a canal from the head waters of the Bat tenkill which takes its rise in the town of Dorset, (north of Manchester) to extend through Jackson, Washington county, to Lansingburgh and Troy. The meeting appointed a committee to meet and confer with another committee of the town of White Creek, Washington county, on the 1 5th ult. The Manchester meeting stands adjourned to the 22d inst. Canal. Petitions are circulating in Adams county, in favor of a canal from the town of Columbia, on the Susquehanna river, through the counties of York, Adams and part of Franklin, to a point on the Potomac river, between Williamsport and Hancock. The petitioners pray the Legislature to appoint commissioners to view the route and report to the next Legislature. Franklin Repository. Lake Navigation. Lake Erie is now entirely open, and so free of ice that navigation would not be hi the least impeded by it a circumstanee very rare at so early a day. The average time of its opening, for the last six years, has been from the Cth to the 10th of May two months later than the present season. The whole winter has been so mild that very little ice has been formed, and that was too thin to withstand the approach of Spring. Buffalo Journal. A Traveller.
