I LONDON, July 15. THE SPEAKER'S SPEECH. Addrcffed to the King, when on the throne, on Friday lafl. " Most Gracious Sovereign, " Ih the name of the Commons of Great Britain, in Pari ment aflembled, it is my du y humbly to render to your majesty the bills by which their grants are completed for the public service of the year. The magnitude of the supply, and the cheerful ) nefi with which it has been given, combined with tiie flourifhing Hate of commerce and ot the rev nue, an 1 with the mani citations of zeal and public spirit which universally prevail, mav juttly be considered as indica tions, ihe most encoura ing and decisive, of the abund nt and unimpaired resources of the firiiifh empire, and of the unfhakeu iirmnels of your faithful people. To rour Commons, it is a fubjedl of pride and fatisfaflion to refleft, lh.it in providing for the exigency of the present conjuniture, they been enabled to adopt a measure which, though attended with facrifices un preceden cli their amount, it eminently calculated to ariminifter lupport to publi cr.dit ; upon the depreciation and expefltd failure of which, the enemy have lc Bg been induced to found the vain hope of d> llroying the liberties and independence of tbcfe kingdoms. The conduct however, of yo r Commons has rot bet.n influenced by a li ited and partial view of the situation and circumftancci, of this country, and of the causes which operate upon its welfare and security. They know that ias intcrefts are closely connected with those of other Hates ; a> d th y have according y confor med to the principles of a found and enlar ged policy, for affording to your maj fly the mod ample mea«s of promoting and ■ afSlli g the exertions of those Powers ; ' who jullly estimating the danger with which they arc tbreained, are convinced that »fa tal aggrayatian of it would be the probable : eoi f quence of compr< mife and fupinenefs ; : and that to be fucctfsfully repelled it niuft ; be opposed by such .efforts as will be fuffi -1 cient to prove to the e>'Cmy tliat their fyf. . tem as ambition ai d conqu ft is equally I m farious and extravagant, and that its ob ju&s are un ittainable. " Your r Commors. fire, are derply fen. iible of the importance of the stake for which your msjcity is ftiH unavoidable con tending, and of the duties which they are bound to discharge. It is, they are per suaded upon the w fdom and fortitude of the British parliament, that under the fa. vourofDiwmc Providence, must chiefly de pend theii prcftrvation of whatever is tru ly valuable in civil fuciety, and of all that conftituut the happiness of private life. Actuated by these sentiments, and relying with perfeft co. fidence upoi. the justice and moderation of your majesty's vfcws, your | Commons have not hclitatcd tn continue to' your majrfty that cordial and decided sup port in »he profecmion o( the ctmtelt, which can alone jultify the hope of concluding it by a fafe and durable peace." ult. wlien Moivau obtained an advantage near Alexandria. Marlhal Suwarrow him ft-lf tranfmtts "his crnt'ure. It is foppofed that several cfficrrs will be calhicrll: the blow is thought to be aimed at General Bel. legrade, who has the character of ai> excel, lent officer) but has likewil'e the reputation of an intrigue)-: he is known to have coun tenanced the discontents which have appear ed against the plans of Suwarrow. If we may credit lome ipeculators in this country, not only are the French Republi. can, l'pit into a variety of fefts, but even the Rovalifls are divided in their sentiments One party "is for putting on the Throne the foil of the late Duke oi Orleans, others for the Hereditary King. The most sanguine friends to the reltoration of Monarchy, are for cutting the kn.it of all these difficulties with the l'word of Suwarrow. It was a fortunate thing for this coun try that nortejof the Continental Powers pre. tended to interfere in our internal disputes during the last century, or to rcllore the exi led Royal FamHy. Had they made the at tempt it would have in all probability uni ted the various parties wlofe si lling out at the end of the civil war rendered the Redo ration easy, and thus would have retarded if not finally prevented, the re-eTlablilhment of monarchy. Wli n the Stuart family lean ed, for support on the French and oth.rpowers they totally extinguillied the hopes of their cause. St. Jian d'Acre was scarcely ever taken without a long liege..
