' “ When her Majesty met you in Parlia- ment at the opening of the session her Ma- jesty was engaged, in cooperation with her allies. the Emperor of the Freiich. the King of Sardinia, and the Sultan, in an arduous war, having for its object matters of high European importance ; and her Majesty appealed to your loyalty and patriotism for the necessary means to carry on that war with the energy and vigour essential to success. “ You answered nobly the appeal then made to you ; and her Majesty was enabl- ed to prepare, for the operations of the ex- pected campaign, naval and military forces worthy ofthe power and reputation of this countr . “ Happily, it became unnecessary to apply those threes to the ptir-poses for which “ My Lords and Gentlemen, “ Her Majt-sty coinniands us to congratu- late you on the favourable state of the re- Venue, and upon the thriving condition of all branches of the national industry ; and she acknowledges with gratitude the loyalty oflier faithful subjects, and that spirit of order and that respect for the law which prevail in every part oflier doininions. “ Her Majesty commands or to express her confidence that on your return to your homes you will promote, by your influence and example in your several districts that continued and progressive improvement which is the vital principle ofthe wellbeing of nations; and her Majesty fervently prays that the blessing of Almighty God may at- tend your stops, and prosper your doings for the welfare and happiness of her peo- 9 pie.’ they had been llt‘Sllll(Hl. A treaty was cori- clndt-d by which thi- objects for which the war had been undertaken were fully attain- ed ; and an lioiioui-able pt‘flCC has saved Europe from tho calamities of continued w.irture-. “ Hi-r .\l:ijesty trusts that the benefits re-soltiug fr-on that peace will be extciisive and pcriiiatn-at ; and that, while the friend- .~ill![l< and allirtiices \Vlllt.'ll were cenieiitetl by conirnon exertions during the contest will gain strength by mutual interests in peace, those asperities which inherently be- long to conflict will give place to the confi- dence and goodwill with which a faithful execution of engagements will inspire those who have learnt to respect each other as antagonists. “ Her Majesty t-ominands us to thank yoti for your support in the hour of trial, and to express to you her fervent hope that the prosperity of her faithful people, which was not materially checked by the pressure of war, may contiiine. and be increased by the genial influence 1 1' Pt ace. “ Her Majesty is engaged in ncgocia- tions on the subject of questions in connec- tion with the affairs of Central America, and her Majesty hopes that the differences which have arisen on those matters between her Majesty's Government and that of the United States may be satisfactorily adjusted. “ We are commanded by her Majesty to inform you that her Majesty desires to avail herself of this occasion to express the plea- sure which it afforded her to receive, dur- ing the war in which she has been enga - ed, numerous and honourable roofs of loyalty and public spirit from her Majesty's Indian territories, and from those colonial possessions which constitute so valuable and important it part of the dominions of her Majesty's Crown. “ Her Majesty has given her cordial as- sent to the act for rendering more efl'ectu- al the police in counties and boroughs in En land and Wales. This act will mate- rial y add to the security ofperson and pro- party, and will thus afford increased on- couragement to the exertions of honest iii- dustry. " or Majesty rejoices to think that the act for the improvement of the internal ar- rangements of the University of Cambridge will give fresh powers of usefulness to that ancient and renowned seat of learning. " The act for rqgulating joint-stock com- panies will atfor additional facilities for tho advantageous employment of capital, and will thus tend to promote the develop- ment of the resources of the country; while the acts. passed relative tontlis mercantile . jun ofitngland and of Scotland will dimin- ish thojnconvonionco which the difliirencc. of those -laws occasion to her Majesty's subjects engaged in trade. “ Her Majesty has seen with satisfaction thafyiou baiuagiven your ‘attention io the arrangements connected with County Odom.

But when we see the actual and immediate results we can no longer hesitate as to the character oftlie change. We find that insurrection itnmediately followed in Madrid, and that for this insurrection the new government was thoroughly prepared beforehand. VVe his position as Minister of VVar, had con- centrated ‘,20,000 men on the capital. His first step was to surround himself with col- leagues who had two years before, when for a few hours in office turned the can- non of the army against the people. The first act of the new Ministry was the pro- clamation of Martial law. The Legislative Assembly was dispersed by force, fired upon when proceeding in deputation to the presence of the Sovereign, and driven from their legal place of meeting by grapeshot. VVe find the capital in arms to resist this tressonable violation of public law_ and we hear ofa desperate contest, in which the National Guard, after several hours’ fight- ing, nre crushed by the large forces con- centrated on Madrid. The next intelli- gence is that the Cortes have fled to a pro- vincial town. Arragon receives the ant- ional assembly, which declares that it has been dispersed by it monstrous act of mili- tary violence. Barcelona is soon in revolt, and the flame spreads. At the present mo- ment Saragossa is held by an insurgent army, and we learn that in the south Mal- s a and Granada have not yet submitted. he Ministry is intent on crnsliing all re- sistance to its power, tindveverything is the country. Such are the facts. The Soverei n and her confidant concentrate troops, ispsrso and fire on the Legislature, fight a pitched battle with the National the Liberalism of the provinces.

From this, we walked up through some earthwork and approach- ed one of the cemeteries, which was in sight from the ship during the time we were blockading, and where we had often seen funeral parties inlerring the dead. As we left the fort, an officer passed us and brushed tip the hill side to the working party, who, we thought were constructing ll bar-ricade to keep the cattle away l'roiii the graves.

It prool had been wanting as to the ititeiition oftbe Russians to quit the north side, 1 think this one inci- dent would suffice for most people. They considered their position untenable, and as they would have been unable to transport these heavy guns, which they were unwill- ing to lose as trophies, they resorted to the ruse of intorring them after the manner of corpses, relying, no doubt, upon our civi- lisation, not to disturb the dead. This is upon a par with their hoisting hospital flags over powder magazines. We walked round the Sievernai or Star Fort, and at the gate were permitted to enter. It is of considerable extent, but the ditch and de- fences generally are far inferior to what we supposed. Here again it seemed, that pre- parations had been made fora blot. All the buildings were unroofed and in ruins, and the premeditated destruction of every- thing that could have been oftise to us was apparent on all sides. \Ve knew pretty nearly what works had been thrown tip after our appearance ofl'the place in 1854, and ofthose that existed previously a near estimate would be formed, atid we can tin- derstand the surprise the Russians felt when our army passed round from the north to the south, and when they laughed at our terror with respect to the northern defences. We leisurely inspected the various works, including the famous Wasp Fort. it is it square Martello tower, sunk about 12 feet, and surrounded bya deep ditch. At the top are mounted eight 42- potinders, but so closely are they placed that a I3-inch shell falling into the centre would most probably disable the whole. After the l7th of October the Russians threw up a bank of earth in front, so as to conceal the masonry from sea view. was the only formidable work on the north side.”-—Uniled Service Gazelle.
