- PARLIAMENTARY.PROCEEDINGS. HOUSE OF LORbS, JULY. 12. THE PROROGATION. .~-.... Sow lo4icial business, which stood over from yesterday. was dispoied of. • .t tew minutes after two o'clock AN Royal Highness the Psi Ker. Ransil.; Itterr&d 'by the Royal •4uite (In which the Sword of State was borne by the Earl of Itycaroot., the Cap of Maintenance by the Mhrquis of Wtscuesraa, the imperial Crown of Mealtn,:ly.l.ord GRAVER, and the Prince of Wales's Crown by General Sir Jou N CR A DDOCK, K. G. C B.). entered•the House, and being seated on the throne in his Royal robes, Sir Tuostas Ty taw st fr . r, Kat. Gentleman Haber of the Black Rod, was dispatched to order the attendance of the Commons, whe forthwith to a great number, with the SPILAKILA at their bead, appearel at the liar. The SPEAKER then addressed the PRINCE REGENT as follows : it kate your Rval • " We, his M ajesty's faitlit ul subjects, the Commons of Great Britain and Ireland, in obedience to your Royal Highness's commands, attend your Royal Highness ; and, according to our ancient privilege, we crave leave to present with our own hands our Grants of Supply, which conclude the labours of the Session. Ia the ordinary course of our proceedings, much of our time has been occupied in discussing measures of great importance to the State, with respect to its agriculture, shipping, and finances. " We have endeavoured so to regulate our Coin Lives, with prudence and firmness, that protection and encouragtment may be given to the agricultural interests et eve: y part of the United Kingdom, with out endangering the prosperity of our trade and ma nufactures. We have endeavoured also to derive new means of maritime strength, from the valuable resources of our Indian possessions; and after devil. ing and preparing such plans for adjusting the public Revenue and Expenditure, as might suit a period of returning Peace, we have been called upon by tm- i 'Joked-for wants to renew our exertions and sacrifices upon the most extended scale of war. •, Scarcely had we closed our contest with Am.. j rica, and scarcely had the Congress of Vienna laid the first foundation of those arrangements which were destined to consolidate the peace of Europe, when in direct contravention of the most solemn engagements the disturber of Europe and destroyer of the human race reappeared upon the throne of France ; and the world was once more in arms. 64 In the short space of three months, by rapid strides, the fate of Europe has been again brought to issue ; and the conflict was tremendous, but the result has been glorious. Th 2 most warlike nations, headed by the most renowned Commanders, have met in battle ; and as Britons we have the triumphant satis faction to know (however much that triumph may be s iddened by private grief) that it is now no longer doubtful to what nation the world will henceforth asctihe rite preeminence for military skill and uncon querable valour. To consecrate the trophies and perpetuate the fame of our brave countrymen who fill in that un i•valled victory, we have declared to be onr ardent desire, and it will be the distinguishing glory of your Royal Highiless's days, to erect in the metropolis of this Empire, such a lofty and storable monument of their miritary renown and our national gratitude, as may command the veneration of our latest le sterity. 6 ‘ Great however and glorious as this victory has been in itself. it is not to the joint exertions and he ' roic achievranents of the British and Prussian arms in that memorable conflict that we mug limit our admiration. We have also to contemplate with equal pride and satisfaction its immediate consequences, military, political, and moral. 66 We have seen the illustrious Commanders Of the • Allied As mies advancing at once into the heart of Vrance ; and Paris twice conquered, has again open ed her gates to the conqu;vors. 66 The usurper of a throne, which he has twice abdicated, has sought his safety in an ignominious, flight ; .and the rightful Sovereign of .France has once more resumed the sceptre of his ancestors. " With these awful scenes passing before us, we , may presume also to hope, that the period is not now distant, when the hand of Pnovtoexce will finally extinguish the remaining effects of that guilty and perfidious spirit of domination, which has so long raged without controul, and restore to desolated Eu rope the blessings of Peace and Justice. " But, Sir, whatever may be the anal issue of these great transactions, we look forward with confi dence to their satisfactory conclusion, under the auspices of your Royal Highness; and we doubt not of the happiest rooks from the same Councils which have planned, and the same hands that have minuted those wise and vigorous measures, which have been hitherto crowned with such signal success. 46 On our part, it is our humble duty to strengthen the means ut your Royal Highness's Government;' . :aoa towards effectuating that purpose, we, his Ma jesty's faithful Commons, du this day present to your it o yd Highness a Bill intittaled, 6. An Act for en.ibling his Majesty. to raise the sum of Six Millions for the service pot Great Britsia." (The Vale of Credit Bill.) 4 , To which, with all humility, we intreat his Ma • jesty's Royal Assent.'? _ The Royal Assent was then signified by the since., Regent to the Vote of Credit Bill, the American w g . ak le Bill, die C•pyliold Estates, the Bread Assiae, , Ap .thecaries' R .gelation, Colebrodke's Estate Lreaaptinit, and to live private Bills. • • At;.er which the Prince Regent delivered the fol jovisng tipeech from the Throne: 1. 111 8 . Lords pad Gentkmas, I cannot close this Session of Parliament without _ again expressing my deep regret at the continuance et his Majesty's lamented indisposition. • 66 At the commencement of the present Session I .entertained a coisliaent hope, that the Peace which I had concluded at Lonjunction with his Majesty's Al lies would tract with no interruption; that, atter so many years of continued warfare and unexampled calamity, tine Nations of Europe would be allowed to enjoy that repose for which they had been so long • contending ; and that poor efforts might be directed • to alleviate the hurtbens of his Majesty's people, and to adopt 49th measures As might best promote the in. tonal prosperity of his dominions. 66 These expectations were. disnppointed Fly an act of violence and perfidy of which no' parallel c* 41 found' n history. - • • • •• The usaapation of the - Supreme Authority In 4c.c by Wearing, in consequence of the defcctleo ,4 of the Ft each armies frorrethetr legitimate Sovereign. appeared to me to be so incompatible with the gene ral security of other countries, as well as with the engageinaus to which the French tiastion had recently been a party, that I felt I had no-alternative but to employ the military resources of his Majeity's domi nions, in ct njnnction with his Majesty's Allies, to prevent the re-esta'alishment of a system which expe rience had proved to be the source of such incalcu lable woes to Europe. " Under such circumstances you will have seen with just pride and satisfaction the splendid success; with which it has pleased DivINE PROVIDENCS to bless his 'Majesty's arms and those of his Allies. 64 Whilst !he glorious and ever-memorable victory obtained at \\ aterlao, by Field-Marshals the Duke of Wellington ad Prince Blucher, has added fresh lustre to the characters of those great Commanders, and has exalt d the military reputation of this coon try beyond all former example, it has at the same time produ:ed the most decisive effects on the opera tions of tho war, by delivering from invasion the do minions of t! e King of the Netherlands, and by placing, in the short space of fifteen days, the city of Paris, and a I.trge part of the kingdom of France in the military occupation of the Allied Armies. 66 Amidst events so important, I am confident you will see how necessary it is, that there should be no re laxation in our exertions, until I shall be enabled, in conjunction with his Majesty's Allies, to complete those arrangements which may afford the prospect of permanent peace and security to Europe. 66 Gentlarma of the Hoare of Commie:, " I thank you for the very liberal provision you have made for the services of the present year. 64 1 deeply lament the continuance and increase of those burthens which the great military exertions of the present campaign, combined with die heavy ar• rears remaining due for the expenses of the former war, have rendered indispensible, and which his Ma jesty's loyal ,subjects, from a conviction of their ne cessity, have sustained with such exemplary fortitude and cheerfulness. " You have already seen, however, the fruit of the exertions which have been made; and there can be no doubt that the best economy will be found to result from that policy which may enable us to bring the edntest to the most speedy termination. " Lord: and Gentlenses. " The brilliant and rapid success of the Austrian arms at the opening of the campaign has led to the veneration of the Kingdom of NAples to its ancient Sovereign, and to the deliverance of that important portion of Italy from foreign influence and dominion. U I have further the satisfaction of acquainting you, that the authority of his Most Christian Ma jesty has been again acknowledged in his capital, to which his Majesty has himself repaired. 4. The restoration of Peace between this country and the United States of America his been followed by a Negociation for a Commercial Treaty, which I have every reason to hope will be terminated upon conditions calculated to cement the good understand ing subsisting between the two countries, and equally beneficial to the interests of both. " I have great pleasure in acqu tinting you, that' the labours of die Congress at Vienna have beau brought to a conclusion by the signature of a Treaty, which, as the ltatific.itions have not yet been ex changed, could not be communicated to you, bit which I expect to be enabled to lay before you when 1 next meet you in Parliament. 4 $ I cannot release you from your attendoece with. out assuring you, that it is in a great degree to the support which you have afforded me, that I ascribe the success of my earnest endeavours for the public welfare ; and on no Occasion has that support been more • insFortant than in the course of the resat Session. 46 In the further prosecution of such Tonsures ss may be necessary to bring the great contest in which we are engaged to an honourable and satisfactory conclusion, 1 shall rely with confidence on the upe. rienct-d zeal and steady loyalty of all classes of his Majesty's subjects; and they may depend on m efforts to improve our present advant a ges li4 Rich manner as may best provide for the general tran quillity of Europe, and maintain the high character which this country enjoys amongst the nations of the world." At the conclusion of the Royal Speech, the LORD CHARCILLOR having approached die Throne, and rewind the Prince Regent's commands for the pur pose, :17 forward, and addressed both Houses, as Ify Lord: mid Gawkwons, a It is his will and pleasure of his Royal High ness the Prince Regent, acting in the name and on behalf of his Majesty, that this Parliament be pro rogued to Tuesday the twenty-second day of August next, to be then here holden t and this Parliament is accordingly prorogued io Tuesday the 22d day of August next.'

MARSHAL NET AND BONAPARTE. LETTER FROM VIE PRINCE OF MOSKWA SKY), TO lIIR EXCELLENCY TIIE DUKE OP OTRANTO rouaig.) N M. La Doc—The most false and defamatory reports ha ve been spreading for some days over the public mind, upon t he conduct which I have pursued during this short and unt'ortunate campaign. The Journals have repeated these odious calumnies, and appear to lead them credit. After having fought for 25 years fur my country, after having abed my blood fur its glory and in dependence, an attempt is nude to accuse me .1 attempt is made to mark me out to the people, and the army itself, as the author of the disaster it has just experiences,. Pureed to break silence, while it is always painful to speak of one's-self, and above a.l, to answer calumnies, I address myself to you, Sir, as the Pleskleut of the Previsional Governateut, for the purpo 41 of laying before you& faithful statement of the events I have witnessed. On the lab of J use I received an order from the Minister of War to repair to the Imperial presence. I had no command, and no information upon the composition and strength of the army. Neither the Emperor nor his Minister had given me any previous hint, from which I could anticipate that I should be employed in the present campaign. " 1 was consequently taken by surpprise, without horses, without accoutrements, and without money, and I was &Algal to borrow the necessary eapences of my journey. Having ar rived on the 12th at Leon. on the 13th at Avesnes, and 011 the 14th at Beetunnot, I purchased in this last city two horses from the Duke of 'Freels.), with which I on the 15th to Charleroi, accompanied by my first At r - ed de-Camp, the only calker who attended me. I arrived at the moment when the enemy, attacked by our troops, was reaming upon ileums and Gossebes. _ _ " The Empetor ordered me Immediately to put myself at the bead of the Ist mid 44 corps of infantry, commanded by Lieute nant-Generals d'art's: and Reale, of the division of light cavalry of Lieutenant General Pine, of the division of light cavalry of the Board under the command of Lieutenant-Generals Lefebvre Des na:sett*, and Cullom, and of two divisions of cavalry of the Count Valmy, forming in all eight divisions of infantry, and four of cavalry. With these troops, a part of which only I had as yet under my immediate command, I pursued the comity, and forced hint to evacuate Gokelies, Frames, Millet, and Hoppegnies.— There they took up a position fur the night, with the eite ption of the Ist corps, which was still at Marchicnnes, and which did not join me till the folios:Avg day. " On the 16th I received orders to attack the English, in their position at Quatre Bras. We advanced towards the enemy with an enthusiasm difficult to be described. Nothing resisted our im petuodty. The battle became general, and victory was no longer doubtful, when, at the moment that I intended to order up the Ist corps of infantry, which had been left by me In reserve at Prunes, I learned that the Emperor bad disposed of tt without advertising me of the circumstance, as well as of the division of Girard of the rd corps, on puipose to direct them upon St. Amend, and to strengthen his left wing, which was vigorously engaged with the Prussians. The shock which this Intelligence gave me confounded me. Having no longer under me more than three divisions, instead of the eight upon which I calculated, I was obliged to renouuce the hopes of victory; and in spite of all my efforts, in spite of the intrepidity and devotion of my troops, my utmost efforts after that could ouly maintain me in my posh. don tilt the close oldie day. About eke o'clock the Ist corps was sent me by We Emperor, to whom it bad been dm service. Thus - 2.1 or 44,000 men were, I may say, parylised, and were Wly paraded during We whol of the battle from the right to the left, am! the lc.r to the right, without firing a shut. " It is itispo..tlble for me, Sir, rot,to arrest your attention for a moment ttpwt these detalls, in order to bring before your view all t'..e eunsequenceA of this false movement, and in general the bad arrangements during the whole of the 44. By what fatality for example, did the Emperor, instead of leading all hie farces opiate Lord Wellington, who v. add have been attacked roam water., and could not have resisted, comider this attack Moscow dart' ? How did die Rammer, after the passage of the Sambre, conceive it posable to light two battles so the same day 1 It was to oppose forces double our's, mod to do what ratiltary men, who were witnesses of it, can scarcely yet coospreitend. " Instead of this lead be kit a coops sat observation to watch the Proedans, and marched with his most powerful masks to sup- I port me, the English army bad andenbeedly been destroyed De bate Quatro.

" OnOut 17th, the anty marched so the direction of Mount St. Jean. "Oa the lath the battle began, at one o'clock; and though the Width which details it makes no mention of me, it is not ne. I l eac/try for me to mention that I was engaged in tnant General Count Dram has Aunty spoken of c hatt battle in the tiptoe of Peers. His narration is aces: ate, with the exception of some (parinaat fins which he has pissed over in silence, or of which be was ignorant and which it is now my duty t J declare. About stern o'clock in the evening, aftsr the : oast fright.ui car- 1 aims which I have ever witnessed, Genera! Labetioyere came to me with a message from the Emperor, that Marshal Grouchy bad arrived on our right, and attacked the left of the English and Prussians united. This General °dicer, landing along the liar, =au intelligence among Abe 'Wised, whose courage and remained unshaken, and who gave new proofs of them at that moment, in spite of the fatigue which they experienced. inunediately alt er, what was my astonishment, 1 should rather my indignation, hen I learnt, that so far front Marshal Grouchy having arrived to million us, as the whale army had been assured, between 40 and 50,000 Prussians attae)ted oor extreme right, and forced it to retire ! " Whether the Eniperee wee deceived with reran to the time when the Marshal could support him, ei whether the march of the Matshal was retarded by the efforts oldie enemy longer than was calculated upon. the fact is, that'at the moment when his ar rival was announced to us, he was only at Wane upon the Dyle, 'which to us was the same as if be had been one hundred leagues from the field of batik. " A abort time afterwards .1 saw fear regiments of the middle guard, conducted by the Emperor, arriving. With these troops he wished to renew the attack, and to penetrate the cameo( the enemy. He ordered me to lead them en; Generals, Officers, and soldiers all . disßlayed the intrepidity, but this body of weeps was toe weekTO — • or aka' darn thellortee apposed to it by the enemy, and it was am asproarr to ratimat tlmK , hope which this stack heifer a few stolbeota a red..

" In this state of matters, havbig no knowledge of his Majest; nor of the Major-General, confusion increasing every moment, and, with theexception of some fragments of regiments of tit guard and of the line, every one follow/8g his own inclination, determined immediately to go to Paris by St. Quentin, to disclus as quickly as possible the true state of affairs to the Minister c. War, that he might send to the army some fresh troops, and ak a the measures which circumstances rendered necessary. At w arrival at Bourget, three leagues from Paris, I learned that the limperor had passed there at nine o'clock hi the morning. " Such, M. le Duc, a history of this Warn:lout campaign. " Now, I ask those who have survived this line and numerou. army, how I can be accused of the disasters of which it has been the victim, and of which your military moats furnish no example ? have, it I. said, betrayed my country—l who, to serve it, ha,. showed a zeal which I perhaps have carried to an extravagani height; but this calumny is supported by no fact, by no einem stance.

It was reported yesterday at Mons, and it appear to be true, that a French Officer, commissioned by his Majesty Louis XVII!. to summon the town c' Conde to surrender, had been arrested, and that upo. the glacis of the fortress, a thing without parallel in the annals of the law of nations.

The war is hardly begun, and it already mimes a terrible character; the Allies advance, but witl. great circumspection ; there has been a very serious affair near Altkent, where a large corps of National Guards was assembled.
