FOREIGN NEWS. Very late from England. From the Boflon Palladium. night arrived fliip Herald, Captain Fox, in the remarkable paffage of feventeen day* from Liverpool ; and we have been favored by Mr. Knapp, of the Merchant's Reading and News Room, with London and Liverpool papers to the 4th inft. The Herald failed from Liverpool on Monday the 6th of December at half pad two in the afternoon, and made Cape Cod on the 20th, at eight o'clock in the morning. The British Parliament commenced a fcflion on the 23 of November. The following are extra&s from the Prince Regent's Speech :— " I regret to have been under the necefilty of calling you together at thi?» period of the year ; but the feditious pra&ices fo long prevalent in fome of the rr.anufa&uring diftri&s of the country, have been continued with increafed a&ivity fmce you were laft aflembled in Parliament. 4t They have led to proceedings incom¬ patible with the public tranquility and with the peaceful habits of the induilrious ■claSe^ ot the community ; and a fp:tit i<* ndw fully manifeftetl, utrerly hoftile to the CoritHtution of the Kingdom, aiming not only at the change of thofe political infli- tutions which have hitherto conftitutcd the pride a »d iecumy of thia countiy, but at the fu".vnfion of the rights cf property and of all order in fociety. •■ I hivegiven directions tliat the neres- fiuy information on this fuhjeft be laid before you—and I feci it to be my indii- penfable duty to prefs on your immediate attention the confederation of fuch mea¬ fures as may be recjui/lte for the counterac¬ tion and fupprefli.m of afyftem, which, if not cfTdually cheeked, mud bring con- fuficii and ruin on the nation. ** The nccillity of affording pioteition to the lives and property of his Majelly S loyal fubje&s, has compelled me to make fume addition to our military force ; but 1 have no doubt you will b'; of opinion that the arrangements for this purprfe have been effected in the manner likely to be the leafl buithenfome to the country. " Alth- ugh the levenue has undergone fo^e fluctuation fince the clofe of the lall L-flion of Parliament, 1 have the fetisfac- tio'n of being able to inform you it appears to be again in a courfe of prr-greffive improvement. '• Upon the loyalty of the great body of the people I have the molt confident reliance ; but it will require your utmoft vigilance and exertion, collectively and in¬ dividually, to check the dilf-mination of the do&rines of Treafon and "rapiety, and " to imprefs upon the minds of all clafles of ' his majefty's fubje&s, that it is from the cultivation cf the principles of Religion, and from a juft fubordiuation to lawful authority, that we can alone expect the tontinuance of that divine favor and pro¬ tection which have hithtrtb been fo fignally ' experienced by this kingdom." Onthc25thof November in the Britifli Iloufe of Commons, the addrefs to the • Prince Regent, echoing his fpeech, was debated, and the fpeeches occupy ten columns in the Times. An amendment, proposed by Mr. Tierney, was negatived. The yeas on it were one hundred and fifty, the nays three hundred and 1 ighty onc. Lord Cafllereagh fuppcrted his fpeech, by laying on the tabic a great number or letters relative to the internal flate of the nation On Motion of the Marquis cf Land- owne in the Houfe of Lords, November 30, for an inquiry into the caufes of the diftrefles in the manufacturing dfftiictsi .fuppcrted by Lord Erfkine snd Earl Grey.—lord Grcnvilleoppoied it warmly. Yeas forty-feven, nays one hundred and fever.ty-tight. Majority againft the motion one hundred and th:riv-one. 4 A fimilar motion was brought forward in the Houfe of Commons on the fame evening by lord Ahhorpe, and the motion was Seconded by colonel Da vies. Mr. Bathurft opened the motion. Sir M. W. Ridley contended that the call for inquiry From every part of the kingdom made it imperative on the houfe to refer the papers to a committee. The other fpeakcrs were, Mr. Long Wellefly, Mr. Kinnaird, lord Lafcelles, lord Milton, and fevcral oilier members. The Houfe divided, and there appeared for the motion one hundred and fifty— againft three hundred and twenty- three—majority, one hundred and ftventy- three. Mr. Canning has taken parr in fome of the interefling debates in Parliament—but at the laft date was confined with the gout. The addrefsof the Houfe of Lords was prefented on the 25th. The training to arm* had confiderablv increafed, as well as aeiivity ir. the procure¬ ment of arms by the Reformers.

There were important debates again last night in bothhoufesof Parliament. In the Iloufe of Lords the bills for the feizure of arms and the prevention and punifhment of drilling and training, were feverally read a fecond time without any divifiou. Lord Sidmouth, in moving that they fhould be read, obferved that fince the papers were laid upon the table, all the information received from the quarters referred to, decidedly proved that the training to the ufe of arms had materially incieufd and extended, and that arms to a eonfiderable amount, had alio recently been procured.

HENRY MONTEITH, Provoft. Glafgow, November 15, 13:9." LIVERPOOL, Dec 1. The operations of the Reformers, or Radicals as they *re called, have had a fe- rious etfeft on ou- commercial operations. It has checked tie manufactures in a very confidcrable degree. The difturbances have now fubfidtd ; and it is underftood that things are reverting to their ufual courfe.—The cointry has been in a truly diilreffing ftate ; out all ideas of any great political revolution taking place, isfcout- ed among the ratonal part of the commu¬ nity ; and any oien attempt of the kind would, I am convinced, be immediately put down by tlu weight and influence of the country ; aid the radicals are now quarreling among themfelvea- Another lettei fays, " The Collector of this port has nfufed to permit the lan¬ ding of Paine's tunes, being a contraband article."

London, Dec. 3, (evening.) The Paris papers of Tuesday reached hero this forenoon. On Monday the King went in state to the Chamber of Deputies, to open the session of 1819. He was attended bv Mousieurs the Dukes of Angouleme and Berry, Prince Talleyrand, Marshals Da- voust, Bounionville, Mncdonald, and Kagusa, and a number of other distin¬ guished personages. His Majesty was received with strong marks of approba¬ tion, and proceeded to address the As¬ sembly as follows ;— "Gentlemen"—The first wish of my heart, in appearing again amongst you, is to acknowledge the blessiugs which Providence has been pleased to bestow upon u5, and those which it permits us to hope for. " My family is increased; and I may hope that my remaining wishes may be accomplished. Fresh supports of my house will form new tics between it anil my people. " Our friendly relations with the dif¬ ferent States of the two worlds, founded on the intimate union of the sovereigns, and on the principle of a mutual inde¬ pendence, continue to form the pledge of a long peace. u By the happy result of my negotia¬ tions with the Holy See, our principal churches are no longer deprived of min¬ isters. The presence of fhc Bishops in their Dioceses, will establish order in all parts of the ecclesiastical administration' they will there propagate the respect due to our Holy Religion, and to the laws of the state.^ We shall preserve untouched the liberties of our church. I shall hear the prayers of the faithful ; I shall con. suit their wants and their resources, be¬ fore I propose to you the measures which the restoration of the worship of our an¬ cestors may still retjuiie. "Two)cars of abundance have re¬ paired, iu part, the evils of scarcity. Agriculture has made a Sensible progress all branches of industry have taken a neir spring, the fine arts continue to adorn and illustrate France. I have collected round me their numerous productions. The same advantage has been given to the useful arts. Public admiration has equally encouraged them. The libera¬ tion of our soil, and more favorable times have permitted us to employ ourselves in the amelioration of our finances. I hate ordered that there shall be laid before you (he slate of tii^ public charges, at well as the m^aus of meeting them ; and 1 have the satisfaction to announce to you, that (he foresight of the Legislature has not becu deceived by pressing and accidental wants. No new debt "ill be created for the next year. Already cm»*iderable relief ha» been afforded to those who contributed the public burdens. The reduction of the most heavy taxes will not be retarded longer than the discharge of the extraof- liuiary debts, contracted by the state, ma/ require. ifc The laws have been erery whereex* ecuted with facility, and in no part has the public tranquility been materially dis¬ turbed.—Under these circumstances, and with a view to remove more effectually the recollection of pa>t evils, I have tho't that I might multiply the acts of clemen¬ cy and reconciliation. I have placed irotrttrer%rn:ttrrb against "UK'Ui £han tlioft which are interposed by the national fee¬ ling and the dignity of the craw a. " Still, in the midst of these elements of public prosperity, I mu-t not conceal from you, that just causes i.f alarm min¬ gle with our hopes, and demand at this time our most serious attention. " A restlessness, vague, but real, pos* sesses all minds: every one now demands pledges of a permanent state of things. The nation has but an imperfect taste cf the first fruits of legal rule and of peace; it fears to sec them snatched from it by the violence of factions ; it is alarmed at their ardor for domination ; it islerrifi- ed at the open expression of their designs. The fears of all, the wishes of all, point out the necessity of some ne\r guarantee of tranquility and stability. Public cre¬ dit waits for it as the signal to rise; com¬ merce to extend its sp. ulation?. Id short, France in order t-> bn sare of her* self, in order to resume among nations the rank which she ought to oxupy for her own and their advantage, has need of having her constitution placed out of the reach of those shocks, which are the more dangerous the ofteucr they are re¬ peated. u Under this conviction, I have a?ain turned my attention to those ideas which already 1 had wished to realize ; but which ougltt to be matured by experience, and to bo called for by necessity. The founder of the charter, with which are inseparably connected the destinies t»f my people, and of my family, 1 felt that if there were any improvement which «ai required by these great interest*-', as well a* lor t-iie maintenance uf our iVOerlits and which would merely modify some of the regulating forms of the charter, in order the better to ensure its power and its operation, it belonged to mo to pro¬ pose such improvement. " The moment is come for strengthen¬ ing the chamber of Deputies, and for withdrawing from it the annual action of parties, by ensuring to it a duration more conformable to the interest of public or* der, and to the external dignity of the state ; this will be the completion of my work. More fortunate than overstates, it is not from provisional measures, but from the natural developemcnt of our in- stitutionsthat we shall derive our strength. 44 It is from the devoted zeal—it is from the energy of the two Chambers—it is from their close union with my govern¬ ment, that I would ask the means of sav¬ ing the public liberty from licentiousness, of establishing the Monarchy, and of gi¬ ving to all the interests guaranteed by the charter, that profound security which we owe them. 44 We shall at the same time undertake the task of malting our laws harmonue with the Constitutional Monarchy. You have already adopted several which have this tendency : and I have given direc¬ tions for the preparation of others, which will ensure individual liberty, impartial¬ ity of trials, and a regular and faithful administration throughout all depart* ments and district;. 4; Providence has imposed on me the duty of closing the abyss of revolutions i of bequeathing to my successors, to my country, Institutions that are liberal, firmly established, and durable. You are assembled for this sacred p»rpose* In order to accomplish it, rely, Gentle¬ men, on my unalterable firmness, as I rely on the co-operation of ny faithful and loyal Peers of France.—of my faith¬ ful and loyal Deputies of the Depart- ments." PARIS, Nov. 29. IJ 5th part of th$ Chamber of Dep¬ uties has been annually renewed by *■ lections—// is now proposed to have the Chamber all fleeted at the same time, «» forfveyears-'j
