BRITISH HOUSE OF LORDS. FEBRUARY 3. Parliament was opened this day by a Ryal Commission, the Lords Cmnfissioners beiu the Achbishop of Canterbury, the Lord Chancellor, the Lord Privy Seal, the President of the Council, and the Larl of Shaftsbury. At twenty minutes to three o'clock, the Gentleman Us icr of the Black Itod (Sir T. Tyrwhitt, Kant ) was directed to rcqniie the attendance of the Commons. Soon afterw arils, Mr. speaker, preceded and attended by the officers of "s house, and follow Gil by a considerable portion of the membet s, approached their loulships Bar; after which, the Roval Commission was lead tor the opening of the session, when the lord chancellor, by iitue of the same, delivered his majesty 's speech. It was as follows: Jfy Lurds ard Gmtltmen. We arc commanded hy his majesty to express to ou his majesty's deep regret, that, in consequnce f indisposition, he is prevented from meeting you in parliament upon the present occasion It woud have bcn a peculiar satisfaction to his majesty to be enabled, in person, to congratulate you on the prosperous condition of the country. Trade and com met ce, are extending themselves both at home and abroad. Anlncreasing activity pervades almost every branch of manufacturee. The growth of the revenue is such a not only to sustain public credit, and to prove the unimpaired productiveness ot our resources, but (what is vet more gratifying to his majesty's feelings,) to evince a diffusion of comfort among the great body of his peop'e Agricultut e is recovering from the depression under which it labored; and by the steady operation of natural causes, is gradually reassuming the station to which its importance entitles it among the great interests of the nation. At no former period has there prevailed, throughout all classes of community in this island, a more chee' ful spirit of order, of a m re just snse of the advantages which, under the blessings of Providenc, hev enjoy. In Ireland, which has for some time past been the subject of his m ijesty's particular solicitude, there are many indications of amendment; V his majesty re'ies on your continued endeavors to secure the w elfare and happiness of that part of the United Kingdom. His majesty has commanded us further to inform you. that he has every reason to believe that the progress of our internal prosperity and improvement will not be disturbed by any interruption of tranquility ab-nad. His majesty continues to receive from the powers, his allies, and generally from all Princes and states, assurances ofthrir earnest desire to maintain and cultivate the relations of friendship with his M qesty; and nothing is omitted on his majesty's put, as well to preserve ee rral peace as to remove any causes of disagreement, and to draw closer the bonds of amity between other nations and Great Biitain. The negociations which have been so long earned on through his Ma jesty's ambassador at Constantinople for he arrangement of differences between R issia and the Ottoman Porte, arc, as his majesty fl iters himself, drawing near to a favorable termination. A convention has baen concluded between h's maj stv and the emperor of Austria, for the settlement of the pecuniaiy claims of this eountrv upon the court of Vienna. His majesty direc's that a copy of ttiis convrntion shall be laid before you, and he relies on your assistance for the execu tion of some of its pi ov isions. Anxiously as his majesty deprecated the commencement of the war in pain. he is every daymore satisfied that inthesttict neutrality w hich he determined to observe in that contest (and which you 50 cordially approved.) he best consulted the true interests of the people. With respect to the provinces of America, which have declared their separation from Spain, I is ma jesty's conduct has been open and convistcnt; and his opinions have been, at all times, frankly avawed to Spain and to other powers. His maiestv has appointed consuls to reside at the principtl pott and places of those proinces. for the pro tection of the trade of his subjects. s to anv ftfthct measures, hi majesty has reserved to himself an unfettered discre tion. to be exercised as the circumstances of those countries, and the interests of his own people, may appear to his majesty to require Cev'lemcTi of the fhusr of Ccmmcvn: His majesty has directed us to inform you, that the estimates for the year are prepared; and shall be forthwith laid be

fore you. The numerous points at which, under present circumstances, his majesty's naval lorre is necssatily dislribuud, and the occasion which has aiiscn for strengthening his garrison in the West Indies have rendered unavoidable some augmentation of his establishments by ea and land. His majesty has, howevei the gratification of believcing, that, notwithstanding the incraese of expense incident to these augmentations, ii will still he in your power, after providing for the stvicesofthe year, to make an angeuu uts in sonic part of our system ot taxation, which may afford relief to certain important branches of national industry. 1

ZIy Lords and Gentletm t:i His mujesty has commanded me to acquaint you, that he has not been it attentive to the desire express bv the House of Commons, in the Inst Nesshmnf parliutr.cnt, that means shou d be rieustd for ameliotating the condition of the negro slaves in the West Indies His majesty has directed the neccs&disy fnjor mat ion rclaiinu: to this subject, to V laid before you. H's majesty is confident, that you v?ill afford your best attention and assistance to any proposition which may be submitted to you for promoting the moral improvement of the ne gioes,by an extended plan of religious instruction, and by such other measures as may giaduaiiy conduce to t'e same end But his majesty earnestly ucu n mends to you, to treat this whole subject with the calmness and the discretion which it demands. It is a subject perplexed with difficulties, which no sudd n effort can disentangle. To excite exaggerated expectation in those who are the objects of your benevolence, would be as fatal to their welfare, as to that of their employers: b. his majesty assures himself that you w ill bear in mind, that, in the correction of a long standing and complicated system, in which the fortune and ihe sateiy of l uge classes of his majesty'suijvs ir.ie involved, that coutsc of pio ceed'mg is alone likely to attain practical g iod, and to avoid rggravation or evil, in which due ug?td shall be paid to conoid erations of jtnii e, and in which caution shall tempji cab LATEST FROM PE?.U.
