POLITICAL PERISCOPE.

Panorama-Office, June 25, 1807. Since our last, that important charge which devolves on a great body of our population, the Election of Members to represent the Commons of the Realm in Parliament, has been completed. and that august Body, to which the nation now looks for associated wisdom and magnanimity, has commenced the duties of its station. The first meeting was on Monday last, when Mr. ABBOT was again chosen Speaker of the House of Commons, without any opposition. The general sense of that gentleman's character and services was, indeed, too powerful, to leave any doubt of his re-appointment receiving the universal sanction of the House; and the compliments to which this incident gives occasion, were felt by all to be very properly paid to his former merit and good conduct. But the session can hardly be said to be opened, till that official coinmunication has been made from his Majesty, which all true Britons regret that the infirm state of his Majesty's eyes prevents him from making in person; we mean his Speech. Of this we present our readers with a copy; from which they will perceive that the present state of politics may be characterised by the term indecision, and that the dictates of prudence, in forming an opinion, are caution and circumspection. The nation has naturally been agitated by the collision of opposite opinions during the late Election, and some of the contests have been carried on with an ardour, and at an expense which almost exceeds credibility. If any confidence be due to report, the expenses of the election for the most extensive county in the kingdom, may be taken at £400,000: an amazing sum, surely! and it leads to the reflection, that, however convenient this mode of lightening their bags may be to those who suffer under the repletion of accumulated hoards, yet, unless talents and wealth were invariably companions, the representation of the people is not secure against perversion, by the very wealth of those who aspire to be representatives.

If any estimate of the spirit of party may be formed from this, and from other circumstances which have transpired, as to the intention of party leaders, we are strongly warranted in anticipating the systemated tactics of a determined opposition. We have, not long since, stated as our opinion, that great importance attaches to the temper and conduct of the Parliament now assembled, perhaps Europe, and the world, will have occasion to brand it with disgrace, or to venerate its memory for a long time to come. We hope and trust, that a sense of the magnitude of that charge which is entrusted to its care-no less than the fate of our own country, and of

many others--will prevail in every bosom ; and that however opinions may differ on minor particulars, yet that the more consequential determinations of this legislative body will be guided by wisdom, aud executed by firmness.

Our readers will perceive that the finances of the nation occupy the attention of those whose office it is to direct and controul them.

We have formerly hazarded an opinion that the plans of the late ministers will be acted upon in some degree, and that the attempt to prevent the accumulation of the public burdens for some time to come will certainly be made. We doubt not that it may be made with considerable success, but, that it will in every part answer the expectations of those who proposed it, is more than we would willingly undertake to guarantee.

It affords us, however, a more pleasing prospect, than if we had to look forward only to further burdens, and privations: and we willingly pay our acknowledgement to the sagacity in which this intention originated. We feel a sincere pleasure in having already communicated to our readers very useful information on this subject. And we flatter ourselves with the hopes of furnishing whatever further elucidations a subject of such magnitude may require.

If we direct our attention to foreign parts we are naturally induced to enquire in the first place, what is passing on the theatre of war, and what is the true situation of those immense armies which have long faced each other without venturing to put their honour and their existence to the hazard of a general engagement. In the expected shock of these immense multitudes, lesser operations pass by almost unheeded; and what at some periods would make a deep impression on the public mind, is now heard indeed with sympathy, but soon forgotten.

The British Arms have suffered disadvantage in Egypt; though we persuade ourselves that none of their lustre has been tarnished by misbehaviour. Those checks which our forces meet with from time to time, should teach them to mingle caution with their ardour; and never to indulge the folly of despising their enemy. Our troops at Alexandria have been reinforced from Messina; and this expedition may yet prove of essential service, in occupying the Turkish forces.

But if the Turkish army have obtained an advantage over us, it does not appear that it' has added much to the strength of that empire. The Turkish fleet, which those not acquainted with that people would have considered as formidable, when opposed to Admiral Duckworth, has not yet quitted its own shores, nor has ventured to abandon the protection of its own batteries. The blockade of the Dardanelles is the blockade of
