Foreign. NEW-VOKK, JUNE 2. LA TEST Fit (h M E U?(JP E. By the arrival of the Packet Ship Albion, Capt. Williams, in 27 days from Liverpool, we have received Liverpool papers of the 1st of May and London to the evening of the 29th of April. The Courier of the 38thcoirtaius the King'sspeech on the opening of the new Parliament. ? 'lhe answers to tlie speech were car ried unanimously in both houses of Pallia merit. Even Sir Frauds Bur dett, though so recently convicted of seditious conduct, expressed his ap probation of the Royal address. The procession of the new Sover eign to the Parliament houses excit ed great attention ami interest. The exhibition was brilliant ? the discrip tiou of the throne magnificent. The trials of Thistlewood, Ings, Brunt, Davidson ami Tidd, five of the Conspirators, Jiave been finished, and their sentences pronounced in the following words : " That you, and each of you, be taken from hence to the gaol from wheuce you came, and from theuce thatyou be drawn upon a hurdle to a place of execution, and be there hanged by the neck until you be dead, and that afterwards your heads be severed from your bodies, and your bodies be divided into four quarters, to be disposed of as his Majesty shall think fit. may God of his in finite gooduess have mercy upon your soul." The prisoners were then with drawn from the bar, seemingly unaf fected. Accounts from Spain as late as the 43th of April stated, that the differ ~enl towns and authorities continued To Take the Constitutional oaths and To seud addresses of congratulation : to the King. Advices from Bagdad dated 25th * of August mention the distresses re sulting from thfe great , heat. The thermometer in the coolest part of the houses rose to 120 at midnight in the air to 108. Multitudes of peo-| pie in country and town dropped down dead in the streets. The riv er rose, and became oJf a turbid red Dolour, , and the waters so offensive it was impossible to drink of them. ? The people proclaimed the Day of Judgment to be at hand, and were , preparing for the awful doom. A duel >had taken. place in France ? between a half-pay officer and a 5 member of the Body Guards. ? , They fought three days; and, in the ? end, fired et three paces distance, when the officer was shot dead upon The spot. This is the longest person* al individual war that we ever recol lect to have heard. lrou is said to have fallen two pounds per ton, ip the manufacturing district?, in consequence of the.di r a minished demand for the manufac tures of Birmingham, imd other towns 'in the neighborhood. v . The London Globe of April 27th. mentions that a petition of an inter" esting nature had been reported to the French Chamber of Deputies. It announced the existence of a formi dable conspiracy in the town of to mes, in France. Intelligence had l>een circulated that Napoleon had re ? turned. All appeared to be quiet in Eng land and Scotland, among the radi cals. The ribbon- men in Ireland were now and then guilty of some excesses. A considerable improvement had taken pfaice at Manchester in the de mand for goods and cotton yarns. The price of silver in bars fell in England, on the 26lh of April, one r halt penny the ounce, being now 4*. l-#d. ? 1 l-8d. below the mint price. ? > 1IOUSK OF CfoMMONS, April 26th. ? THE K/jVG'S SPEECH. The Speaker stated that the House had been to the House of Peers." and heard the speech delivered by his Majesty, of which, to prevent mistake, he had obtained a copy. This he read, as follows : u My Lords and Gen'lvmen, V I have taken the earliest occasion xf assembliu? you here, afler having 1 recured to the seuse of my people. "Iu meeting you personally for the first time bince the death of m y beloved father, I am anxious to as sure you that I shall always continue {to imitate lu9 great example in un ceasing attention to the public iuter jests, and iu paternal solicitude for I the welfare and happiness of all clas ses of ray subjects, " 1 have received from Foreign"" Powers renewed assurances of their ? friendly disposition, and of their ear nest desire to cultivate with me the relations of peace and amity. " Gentlemen of the House of Com mons , "The estimates for the present year will be laid before you. " 1 hey have been framed upon principles of strict Economy; but it is to me matter of the deepest regret ? that the state of the country has not allowed me to dispense with those' additions to our military force which I announced at the commencement of the last Session cf Parliament. "The first object to which your I attention will be directed is the pro vision to be made for the support of. the Civil Government, and of the honour and dignify of the Crown. " I leave entirely at your disposal my interest in the Hereditary Re venues^ and I cannot deny myself the gratification of declaring, * that so far from desiring any arrangement which might lead to the imposition of new burdens upon my People, or even might diminish, on my account, , .the amount of the Reduction incident i to my accession to the Throne, I c n have no vvisli, under circumstances J like the present, that any addition (whatever should be made to the Set tlement adopted by Parliament in the year 1816. " My Lords ani Gentlemen . u Deeply as I regret that the i machinations and designs of the Dis ; affected should have led, in 1 some ? parts of the country, to acts of open violence and insurrection, I cannot but express my satisfaction at the promptitude with which 4hese at tempts have been suppressed hy the vigilance aud activity of the magis- i trates, and by the zealous co-opera- * tionof all those of my subjects whose exertions have been called forth to support the authority of the laws. u The wisdom and firmness mani fested hy the late Parliament,' and the due execution of the laws* haw greatly contributed to ..restore confi dence tliroughout the kingdom? and to discountenance those principles of sedition and irreli^ion which has i>een disseminated with such malignant perseverance, and had poisoned the minds of the ignorant and unwary. "I rely npon the continued sup port of Parliament in my determina tion, to maintain, by all the means entrusted to my hands, the public safety and tranquility. " Deploring as we all musr, the distress which still unhappy prevails among many of the laboring classes of the community, and anxious look ing forward to its removal or mitiga tion, it is in the meantime our com mon duty to protect the loyal, the peaceable, and the industrious, a gainst those practices of turbulence , and intimidation, hy which the peri od of relief can only he deferred, and Uy which the pre sure of the dis- ' tress has been incalculably aggravat ed. " L trust that an awakened sense of the dangers which they have in curred, and the arts which have been employed to seduce them, will bring ; back by far the greater part of those who have been unhappily led astray . and will revive in them that spirit of loyally ? that due submission to the laws, and that attachment to the con stitution which subsist unabated in the hearts of the great body of thoi people, and which, ondei the bless ing of Divine Providence, have se cured to the Hritish nation the enjoy ment of a larger share of practical freedom as well as of prosperity and happiness, than have fallen to the lot of any nation iu the world." Domestic. NEW-HAVEN, MAY 30. ELEGJJYT specimens. AVe have seen the Sword and Pis tols, which, agreeably to a resolve of the Legislature uf this state, ate to be |>reseuted~to our gallant toun tryman, Commodore Isaac Hull, as testimonials of the high respect which the citizens of his native State enter tain for his valour aud establishments as a naval officer. The workman ship of these weapons reflects credit, uot only on the iogeuious artists who made them, but on the country in which they were produced. They are the most elegant specimens of domestic manufacture, lliat we ever saw. The scabbard and handle of the sword are of pure gold, beauti fully wrought with appropriate devi ces. The most remarkable of these i* on a broad leaf of gold, branch ing from the hilt, as a substitute for an ear. It represents the escape of the Constitution from the British squadrou, by which she was -pursued on her passage from the Chesapeake to Boston. The blade is a cut and thrust, of the modem plan, and is pronounced by those who are judges to be as well tempered as the best, Toledoes. The sword was manu factumkby Mr. J^a^han Starr, and the pistols by Mr. North, both of Middletown, in Connecticut. We have not heard when they will be presented, NEW-YORK, MAY 30. Launch. ? At 15 minutes past 1 i o'clock this forenootj. the1 beautiful liue of battle ship OHIO, built un der the superintendance of Mr. Eelc ford , at the Navy-Yard, Brooklyn, left her cradle, and gently and ma jestically glided into her .destined element, amidst the firing of cannon, and the acclamations of thousands of spectators, who crowded the sur rounding hills, and house-tops in the neighborhood. The day was fine, and all the steam boats, and indeed almost every other kind of water craft, were put in requisition to con vey ladies and gentlemen to the spot, to witness her descent in to old Nep tune's domain. Wallabout Bay, and the East liiver, were literally covered with boats, many having on board elegant bands of music. Just as the last key wedge was .dri ven from tbe locJk, Which gaye her freedom, salutes were lired from the navy-yawl, fr om a detachment at Cor laei^s Hook, from the Washington 74, .and from the Hornet $ the latter vessel being decorated in a most tasteful manner, with the flags of all nations, and her yards manned with hardy American tars^~The Frank - tin 74, lying in the North Hiver, al so fired a salute, The Ohio , is pro nounced by adequate judges, to tie equal if not superior in strength and beauty, to any vessel of her class, that ever floated, I lie concourse of people which lined the margin of the East liiver, from the country am\ from the city, it is calculated, a mounted to upwards of 35,000; Notwithstandingtheimmeuse crowd/ we have not heard of the occurrence of a single accident. ? mfm t AJLBANY, MAY *9. ? Dr. Morse left town yesterday afternoon, on his way to Buffalo. He is employed, we understand, by government, on a mission for investi gating the actual condition of the In dians in the western and north wes tern parts of the uuionr-rpreparatoi y, to a distribution of the funds that have been appropriated by Congress far the civilization of tbe Indians. Dr. Morse will proceed from Detroit to Mackinaw ? from thence across the north western territory, jto the falls of St. Anthony, and in his way will visit al) the tribes of Indians lhat reside in that country. ? He will then probably descend the Mississip pi, and on his return, examine thi condition of the tribes in the western States. The intention of govern ment in this mission wo learn, is to obtain Rn accurate account of the state of all the savages north of the Ohio. PHILADELPHIA, MAY 31. Don Lopez Meudex, envoy from Veneznla in London, has published that ij is impossible for the Ameri can Independent Government ever again to submit to the yoke of Spain, whether governed by an absolute monarch or by the Cortes ? and that the Cortes when in power before, carried on war against revolutionary America ? refused to listen to the proposals ? refused the freedom of trade ? refused the mediation of Kng* I land ? did not consent to prohibit the Slave trade ? and they refused to ad mit as an American delegate to the Cortes any one who had a drop of African blood in his veins ? or to ad mit any such to be reckoned in the 70,000 persons entitled to a repre sentative. WASHINGTON, JUNE 2, " The Canada newspapers give us an evidence of miserable malice w hich we did not suppose, if enter tained, could find open defenders among -respectable Britons, against oue of our distinguished fellow-citi zens. Hume ? exhibitor of Wax Figures at York, had in his collec tion a representation of our Major- ' Geueral Jackson. The exhibition ; I of this figure, says the ne wspapers, was "highly offensive, uot particu- ( larly to, tlte inhabitants of York, but to every British subject, whose heart beat in union wmi royally to his Sovereign." Revenge was de termined on. The offending figure ' was taken, uuresiuting, from the \$axen grouper and ^ hung as high as il a man." to use the words of a writer who gives an account of it. Spirit of chivalry I What an ex ploit ! What enlightened minds must have conceived it ! VV hat dar ing hands achieved it i How loyal be these men of York ! It would be gross injustice to the , British Nation, to impute to it the Imposition indicated in this inst&ncp of stupid malignity. Regarding the ; authors of it as ignorant zealots, they merit pity more than any other sentiment, 'l^he writer in the York ' Observer, however, who applauds i this magnanimous feat, deserves the ; punishment which is justly due to all mischievous instigators of National broils. X<et it be the business of the serious and reflecting part of both Natious. tp counteract ihe effects of such folly. We are persuaded there , is no part of the United States in ; which a transaction like that of York would not have been universally condemned, tfUNTSVILLK, (ALAB.) MAY 4$. Military Road. ? We have recent ly had the pleasure of conversing with Lieut Lyman, of the U. 8. army, wl*o is attached to the corps now engaged on the jroad from Ten nessee River to the head of Lake Poncbartrain. It is wit!) oo ordina ry pleasure that we can assure our readers, oo the authority above men tioned, that this great national work will be completed in the month of June. The whole road is now cut out, and budges, ferries and houses of entertainment are established, so that the road can be travelled on horseback with great convenience. ? I This great national work is of the utmost importance to the whole western country, as the distance to New-Orleans, 4>y land, is lessened from 3 to 400 miles. MILLEDGEV1LLE, JUNE 6. On Sunday the 14th ult. a son of Mr. Thomas Sparks, of Franklin county, took down his gun to shoot a bee martin, and as he stepped out at the door, he laid his gun across his arm, opened the pan, and as he j shut it she firedf and shot his mo ther through the head, as she was standing ill the kitchen door, a short distance off, who fell dead without a struggle. This unfortunate catas trophe has bereaved a kind husband of a beloved companion, and a nom- 1 Uer of children ot a kjjid mother, ami numerous friends ami acquaints auces long to lament her untimely end and irreparable loss. ?
