PROROGATION OF PARLIAMENT. This day being appointed for the prorogation of Parlia ment, the Life Guards were ordered out to attend upon the occasion. They lined the road from the Park to the House of Lords. At ten minutes to two o'clock, his ) 1 ( S• V ~.11.1/CATOS ------ MAJESTY arrived at the Horse-guards, which wa announced by a grand flourish of trumpets, and the State band playing " GOD save the King."— The cheering of the immense multitude upon this occa sion, and the waving of handkerchiefs by the elegantly dressed females, baffles all description. His MAJESTY was drawn by eight Arabian horses, surrounded by all the Royal Family. The number of Noblemen and Gen tlemen's carriages attracted on this occasion was immense. His MAJESTY entered the House precisely at two o'clock, which was announced by the roaring of the can __ non from the Park and Tower. His MAJESTY, on enter. ing the House, was saluted by the Peers, who all rose ok his entrance. The scene at this moment was truly grand, the House being thronged with Peers, Peeresses, Ambas sadors, and officers of the first distinction. All the Cabinet Ministers were present. The Peers were dressed in their grand robes. The Ladies were brilliantly ornamented. The Kiva being seated on the Throne, and the Com. mons sent for, and come, the Honourable SPEAKER addressed his MAJESTY, on the part of the House of Commons. He set forth, that the Honourable House now approached his MAJESTY for the first time; that it had come to the termination of an arduous and important Session ; that at the opening of that Session the Com mission, on the part of his late MAJESTY, had recom mended certain duties, particularly as to the revision of the laws, and the relief of the people ; that the House bad performed the duties which his late MAJESTY had en joined, and had been able to relieve the people materially from the burdens of taxation, and to economies ,the public expenditure; that it had accomplished seve ral reforms in the laws ; that the law of forgery had undergone revision, and other judicial improvements had been satisfactorily carried into effect—more particu larly, as regarded the administration of the law in the Principality of Wales. He concluded by stating, that the House of Commons had now certain Bills to present for his MAJESTY'S sanction. These Bills were severally presented, and received the Royal Assent, in the usual form. His MAJESTY then delivered the following most gracioas Speech to both Houses of Parliament : " My Lords and Gentlemen, " On this first occasion of my meeting you, I am desirous of repeating to you in person my cordial thanks for those assurances of sincere sympathy and affectionate attachment, which you conveyed to me, on the demise of my lamented Brother, and on my accession to the throne of my ancestors. " I ascend that Throne with a deep sense of the sacred duties which devolve on me, with a firm reliance on the affection of my faithful subjects, and in the support and co-operation of Parliament ; and with an humble and earnest Prayer to Almighty GOD, that He will prosper my anxious endeavours to promote the happiness of a free and loyal people. " It is wits► the utmost satisfaction that I find myself enabled to congratulate you upon the general tranquillity of Europe. This tranquillity it will be the object of my constant endeavours to preserve ; and the assurances which I receive from my Allies, and from all Foreign Powers, are dictated in a similar spirit. " I trust that the good understanding which prevails apon subjects of common interest, and the deep concern which every State must have in maintaining the peace of the world, will ensure the satisfactory settlement of those patters, which still remain to be finally arranged. " Gentlemen of the House of Commons, " I thank you for the supplies which you have granted, and for the provision which you have made for several branches of the Public Service, during that pail of the Br the Canada New York packet, which arrived at Liverpool on Tumidity, we have been favoured with files of Ameican papers to the Ist of July.

I cordially congra tulate you on the diminution which has taken place in the expenditure of the country ;on the reduction of the charge of the public debt; and on the :e -1 lief which you have afforded my people by the repeal of some of those taxes which have heretofore pressed hea vily on them. _ _ " You may rely upon my prudent and economical ad- ministration of the supplies which you have placed at my disposal, and upon my readiness to concur in every dimi nution of the public charges which can be effected, con sistently with the dignity of the Crown. " My Lords and Gentlemen, " I cannot put an end to this Session, and take my leave of the present Parliament, without expressing my cordial thanks for the great zeal which you have mani- fested, on so many occasions, for the welfare of my people. " You have wisely availed yourselves of the happy opportunity of general peace and internal repose, calmly to review many of the laws and judicial establishments of the country ; and you have applied such cautious and well-considered reforms as are consistent with the spirit of our venerable institutions, and are calculated to facilitate and expedite the administration of justice. " You have removed the civil disqualifications which ' affected numerous and important classes of my people. " While I declare, on this solemn occasion, my fixed intention to maintain, to the utmost of my power, the Protestant Reformed Religion established by law, let me, at the same time, express my earnest , hope that the animosities which have prevailed on account of religions distinctions, may be forgotten, and that the decision of Parliament, with respect to those distinctions,having been irrevocably pronounced, my faithful subjects will unite with me in advancing the great object contemplated by the legislature, and in pro meting that spirit of domestic concord and peace which constitutes the surest basis of our national strength and happiness." --dam— After delivering the Speech, the KING departed at a quarter to three o'clock, amidst the enthusiastic cheers of a vast multitude, who lined both sides of the way ' from the House of Lords to the Horse Guards ; and from the Horse Guards, towards Buckingham Palace. The general deportment of the people was orderly ; at the same time 'hewing the most enthusiastic and attached feeling to his MAJILITT. We cannot but congratulate the public on the events of this day—not that we wish to be understood as rejoic ing at the approaching dissolution of Parliament : for we are not among those who are over sanguine of obtaining a better in its place ; but we sincerely congratulate the country, that his M♦ I IST T not only has the health but the inclination to comply with the old customs of the country, and avail of so pleasing an opportunity of showing himself to his subjects, in the performance of his highest legislative function. If we refer to the period when his late MAJZSTY had a similar duty to perform, we cannot forget that serious indisposition incapacitated him from undertaking the fatigues which it occasions; and if we reflect, from that time to the period of his decease, how frequently he was compelled, from similar causes, to adopt seclusion from his people, we should surely be inclined to view, with some degree of commiseration, his past sufferings; and not be critically and unjustly severe in attributing to him, as a fault, the omission of those duties which the dispensation of PROT IDINCZ incapacitated him from performing. The new era opens fortunately under more propitious circumstances. We have, by express, the Gazette de France of yes terday's date, and letters and papers of Wednesday night. We give an extract of a letter dated Wednesday evening :—" All sorts of reports have been circulated again to-day. It has been asserted that the Chambers are to be assembled at Lille, instead of Paris; that M. DI VITROLLES is to be Minister of Finances, instead of MOWTSEL—others say DUDON. As vigorous measures are the order of the day, the politicians are providing si tuations for some energetic men, such as FRONCHET and DILA VON, who are to assist in sabre:ng the good people of Paris in the month of August or September, when the l operations against the charter are to commence." The Courier Francois says, " It was observed yester day, that the Kum, in answering the felicitations that were addressed to bim, avoided touching upon the ques tion of the occupation of Algiers. Some of the minis terial papers announce to-day that the division Loverdo is to return to France. General Bov aIIONT speaks of sending back the materiel. This measure, far from offering any presumption in favour of a lasting establish ment, would only show evidently that the General is pa euliarly anxious of tranquillizing the jealousy of Eng land. The position of the Ministers in presence of the Chambers will be much less embarrassing, as they will have but few supplementary subsidies to require. The following intelligence by the express is interesting "We are assured," says the Journal du Conufferce,l " that the Prince de POLIONAE applied to persons best able to give him information, for a statement of the opinions of the Chamber of Paris. The first report being by no means satisfactory, a second enquiry was de manded, which, however, was not more encouraging than the former." which appertains to the name of Bouv an is of some in terest, we have thought it proper to present cur readers with extracts from the New York Commercial Adver tiser of June 30. These extracts all breathe a spirit of enmity towards the retiring hero, that sounds moat harsh in our ears. In the United States, we are sorry to ob serve, he is no favourite. We my we are sorry to ob serve it : for if our appreciation of that celebrated man's character be correct, what can be our sentiments regard ing his detractors ? The people of the United States we have always regarded as a people governed more by a plain good sense than perhaps their relatives in Europe— that is to say, we have been apt to attribute less passion and prejudice to them in deliberation. But the feeling that appears so perceptibly to predominate towards the New South American States, is really not creditable to their character. That there may be far-sighted people who may be strangely far-sighted in their jealousies and am bitions, no one can doubt ; but that their numbers should be considerable, is a truly remarkable instance of the selfish principles in man's nature, being allowed to obtain to a degrading ascendancy. We feel, however, persuaded that the majority of cool thinkers, and the majority of the influential classes in the United States, feel as warm, and as pure an interest in the fortunes of the neighbouring infant republics, as is felt in this country. That Bo Liv A a has enemies in the country he has forsaken is indisputable, and that those enemies are of the most malignant character, is likewise beyond dispute; for what insures malignity se much as a secret consciousness of ingratitude to those who have conferred favours. The Commercial Adver tiser says:— " Bolivar has arrived *em Bogota, ostensibly with the intention of going to Europe ; but it is certain that he will not go. Before bis departure be wanted to make a disturbance, instigating the human and grenadiers, which foamed the garrison of Bogota, through the medium of the Generals Silva, who has married his niece, and Per. tot:arra° ; bat the firmness of the government and of the people of Bogota, who armed themselves in sell-defence, balled his inland machinations. Silva and Perm:urn* had left Bogota, in order to join Ximena ; and Bolivar, the author of all our evils, when he saw he was left without resources to cast' his abominable seisms of self aggeandisentent on the ruin of the people, is new at Tea bees, the Ate of a civil war, and like Nero looking from Tespp• on the land of Raw. He must have seine idea of succeediag, as be is already resolved not to leave this country tad his satellites glee oat that before a year is mired be will be restaged by the united efforts of Flores, Ximenes, end Montilla. This sesolution of Be. liver, of not leaving the aiontrf, has been taken, it is said, after a long deliberation with Juan de Francisco, and Garcia del Rio, Ms agents in the Congress." " We have received," says the mans Paper, " two new journals of Bogota, to the 20th ult. inclusive, entitled La Aurora as* RI Deaseevats. Both are devoted to republicanism and the meat choice of rulers, and contain very severe strictures on the helps and character of Bolivar. We infer from their statements that the selection of filmgoers sad Cayeedo, as President and Vice-Pad. dent, was not altogether free on the part of Congress, who seem to have been overawed by the people of Bogota. A very encouraging spirit of republicanism, however, pervades the history of the pre. endings and all the :impart articles, connected with the late election and the departure of Bolivar. We like particularly the motto of Al Dearerata.-thls fine sustain at Cicero—Cum sint duo genera disertaddt, some per diseeptationew, aberw.a per win: ilia, Fugitives hoisinis ea, Aso beliaarras : nee eonliegiendlein art ad posterior, nisi obi wit ass diet superiors settipergue poet eat mosttlewttna."--Nat. Gantt& Despatches were this day received at the Colonial Office from Mr. POSSONST, the British Colwell at CITY, TWELVI O'CLOCK. The arrivals this morning are of minor importance. The estafette from Paris brings the 3 per cents. 78 65. This gradual decline is attributed to a gloom which over hangs the speculations at Paris, ascribed to an opinion that the Ministers are firm in their determination of push ing the expected obduracy of the Chamber by a coup d'etat, and they are all anxiously waiting for the result of the King's Council. There is also another report, that the former garrison of Algiers has taken up a strong position at no great distance from that city, which occa sions doubts as to the result of the campaign. The mercantile letters from Sores to the 20th July in form, that the Albanian insurgents have taken measures to repel any serious attacks on the part of the Ottoman Government, and have concentrated their forces to the number of 20,000 men, and have invested the towns of Ronal and Sadism, where they pillage and destroy all that falls into their power. The intelligence from Satanic& is of the most alarm ing nature, and trade has been completely suspended. The plague has made its appearance at Glatina, in Wal lachia. Accounts from Toulon state, that 260 transports are now laying in that harbour, part of the expedition to Algiers. Ten transports are taking in provisions and water for the fleet off Algiers. Accounts from Madrid state that Government have formed a new Junta for the ratification of the treaties. The object of this Junta is to decide the just debts of Spain due to foreign Powers. Consols opened at the same price they left off yester day, 92U for the account, and 92N, at which price they remain steady at present. The public attention this day, is for the perusal of the funds. In the foreign market nothing doing as yet. CITY, HALP.PAST ONE. COURT INTELLIGENCE. At the Levee held by his Majesty on Wednesday, at his Palace in St. James's, Me. M.

DELIVERY or • LETTER TO THE QUEEN IN HELL Csotat•ce.--Yesterday, after the insp ection of the troops on the Parade in St. James's Park by his Majesty, a female, very fashionably attired, and her face veiled, was taken into custody by Serjeant Pearse, of A di vision, and carried before the Commissioners of Po lice in Scotland-yard, charged with presenting a letter to her Majesty, just as the Royal carriage was leaving the residence of the Earl of Bathurst. It appears that the lady, whose name we were not able to learn, had held a situation in the establishment of the late Princess Charlotte, and at her death was discharged with a yearly pension ,which she had been paid for some time after the demise of her Royal Highness, but it had subsequently been withheld from her ; and, although she bad made many applications respecting her claim, they were never attended to, and she bad, therefore, written a letter to her Majesty, stating fully an account of her grievances, and humbly soliciting her Majesty's interference in her case. Knowing the uncertainty of the letter reaching her Majesty through the hands of others, she resolved to deliver it herself in person, and had, therefore, em braced the opportunity that ofered itself, by throwing it into the carriage. It further appeared that the lady told one of the policemen on duty near the Foreign Office, in Downing-street, her intention, and gave him her name and address. The policeman placed her in such a situation that would enable her to put the letter in at the carriage window as it passed ; and the mo ment she'did so, the Queen was observed to break the seal instantly, and begin to read the contents as the car riage proceeded, and the next moment the female was ar rested. The Commissioners, after hearing the ease. allowed the lady to depart upon her giving her real name and add4es, which she did to their satisfaction. The lady appeared to be about 50 years of age. I
