MEETING of PARLIAMENT.-This day (Friday, June 26) the House met as usual, when the following speech, with which the Session of Parliament was opened, was delivered by his Majesty's Commissioners:

"My Lords and Gentlemen, "We have it in command from his Majesty to state to you, that having deemed it expedient to recur to the sense of his people, his Majesty, in conformity to his declared intention, has lost no time in causing the present Parliament to be assembled. "His Majesty has great satisfaction in acquainting you, that since the events which led to the dissolution of the last Parliament, his Majesty has received, in numerous Addresses from his subjects, the warmest assurances of their affectionate attachment to his person and Government, and of their firm resolution to support him in maintaining the just rights of his Crown, and the true principles of the Constitution; and he commands us to express his entire confidence that he shall experience in all your deliberations, a determination to afford him an equally loyal, zealous, and affectionate support, under all the arduous circumstances of the present time.

His Majesty has directed us to acquaint you, that he has thought it right to adopt such measures as might best enable him, in concert with the Emperor of Russia, to take advantage of any favourable opportunity for bringing the hostilities in which they are engaged against the Sublime Porte, to a conclusion, consistent with his Majesty's honour and the interest of his ally.

"Gentlemen of the House of Commons, "His Majesty has ordered the estimates of the current year to be laid before you, and he relies on the zeal of his faithful Commons to make such provision for the public service, as well as for the further application of the sums which were granted in the last Parliament, as may appear to be necessary.

"And his Majesty bearing constantly in mind the necessity of a careful and economical Administration of the pecuniary resources of the Country, has directed us to express his hopes that you will proceed without delay in the pursuit of those enquiries, connected with the public economy, which engaged the attention of the last Parliament.

"My Lords and Gentlemen,

"We are commanded by his Majesty to jaform you, that his Majesty's endeavours have been most anxiously employed for "His Majesty commands us to state to the purpose of drawing closer the ties by you, that he is deeply impressed with which his Majesty is connected with the the peculiar importance, at the present powers of the Continent; of assisting the moment, of cherishing a spirit of union and efforts of those Powers against the ambi- harmony amongst his people: Such a spition and oppression of France; of forming rit will most effectually promote the prossuch engagements as may ensure their con- perity of the country at home, give vigour inued co-operation; and of establishing and efficacy to its councils, and its arms that mutual confidence and concert so essential under any course of events to the restoration of a solid and permanent peace in Europe.
