London, Jan. 20.
It is whispered, the Ministers are anxious that his Majesty should open the Session of Parliament with a Speech from the throne--to this the King is extremely indisposed--and it is said that the main object of the journey of the Earl of Liverpool and Lord Castlereagh, to Brighton, was to beseech his Majesty to comply with their wishes in this respect. What effect their application produced, we know not--but their solicitude seem to arise from the consciousness of insult they passed on the two houses by the abrupt and unceremonious way in which they dismissed them at the close of the last Session, and the degree of amende which they think his Majesty's presence on Tuesday would make for the indecorum.
