probably he will have under his dominion the seventeen provinces , which will be regulated by a united parliament . In ? the speech there is an evident supposition , that the people of the country are to be considered as something , and the deliberations will probably proceed on thej same principle .
The debates of the parliameht at Par is continue , and with a greater degree ' of freedom than might be expected ^ The ; agitation of France cannot be suppdse ^ T to have so completely subsided as to
leave no disquiet spirits , and the seizure of a few persous by no means counter nances the surmise of any general . discontent . One circumstance proves at the same time a wish to return to old
principles , and on the other hand a determination to resist them . It was a common custom in France , before the revolution , for the minister to- intimate to whom he pleased , that it was necessary for him to retire from Paris , and to reside in a certain place , or not within a certain distance of the capital . An intimation of this kind is said to havebeeni

be the result of this resistance . If the ? minister can once establish a precedent for this iniquitous practice , they may talk as much as they please about liberty and constitution ^ but it will be vapouiy ing merely about a non-entity . To the deliberative bodies now
assembled is to be added that of the United Kingdom , which was opened" With "' a speech , as usual , from the throne . It laments the continuance of the war witht America , which is said to haycorigi- nated in the most unprovoked
