Opening of Parliament.—The
Queen's Speech.
The British Parliament was opened to-duy by Bojal Commission. The Speech alluded to the proposals for mediation and the subsequent appeal to the British Government. The Government had inquired if the Emperor of ltussia was prepared to entertain proposals for peace through the offices of England, and trusted this would lead to a pacific solution. Hitherto neither belligerent had infringed the conditions of British neutrality, and while that was respected the neutral attitude of England would remain unchanged. But, if hostilities were prolonged, some unexpected occurrence may oblige England to adopt measures of precaution. As these will require adequate preparations, the Queen trusts to the liberality of her Parliament to supply the necessary means.
Friday. The House of Lords agreed, without a division, on the address in reply to the Queen's Speech. In the House of Commons the debate on the address was adjourned, the Irish members demanding that the subject of Home Itule should be taken under consideration.
