BRITISH PARLIAMENT .

TUESDAY , NOV . 20 , 1 ^ 9 8 . HIS MAJESTY opened the third session of the ei ghteenth ParliarhenJ with the following speech from the throne : — My Lords and Gentlemen ; The events which have taken , place in the course of the present year * and the signal success which , by the blessing of Providence , has attended my arms , have been productive of the happiest and have

essenticonsequences , ally promoted the prosperity and glory of our country . The unexampled series of our naval triumphs has received fresh splendour from the memorable and decisive action in which a detachment of my fleet , under the command of Rear . Admiral Lord Nelson , attacked arid almost totally destroyed a superior force of the enemy , strengthened by every advan * tage of situation : by this great and brilliant victory , ' an enterprise , of which the injustice , perfidyand extravagancehad fixed the attention of the world

, , , and which was peculiarly directed against some of the most valuable interests of the British Empire , has , in the first instance , been turned to the confusion of its authors ; and the blow thus given to the power and influence of France has afforded an opening which , if improved by suitable exertions on the part of other powers , may lead to the general deliverance of Europe !

I he wisdom ami magnanimity so eminentl y displayed at this conjuncture by the Emperor of Russia , and the decision and vigour of the Ottoman Porte , have shewn that those powers are impressed with a just sense of the present crisis ; and their example , joined to the disposition manifested almost universally in the different countries struggling under the yoke of France , must be a powerful encouragement to other states to adopt that vigorous line of conduct , which experience has proved to be alone consistent with security or honour

. The extent of our preparations at home , and the demonstrations of Zeal and spirit among all ranks of my subjects , have deterred the enemy from attempting to execute their vain threat , of invading the coasts of this kingdom , I . i Ireland the ' rebellion which they had instigated has been curbed and repressed , the troops which they landed for-its support have been compelled to surrender , and the armaments since destined for the same purpose have * by the viilance and of

g activity my squadron , been captured or dispersed . The views and principles of those who , in concert with our inveterate enemy , have long planned the subversion of our constitution , have been fully detected and exposed , and their treasons made manifest to the world . Those whom they had misled or seduced must now be awakened to their duty ; and ajust sense of the miseries and horrors which these traitorous designs have produced , must impress on the minds of all my faithful subjects the necessity ° f continuing to repel with firmness every attack on the laws and established government of their country .

Gentlemen of the House of Commons , , , ¦ Under the unavoidable pressure of protracted war , "it is a great satisfaction fo me to observe , that the produce of the public revenue has proved fully ' -equate to the encrease of our permanent expenditure ; that the national reo . it ha , been maintained and improved ; and that the commerce and inustry of my subjects have continued to flourish in a degiee hitherto uu-^ novvn , , ¦ . * * Y M" XI .
