F L I 'WHITT, Knight, Gentleman Miser of the Black Rod, was sent to desire the attendance of the Commons; who forthwith, to a considerable number, with their Speaker. appearfil at the Bar. A Commission for authorising the notification of the Royal Assent to a Bill was then read ; when . the same was dechred in the usual form, to a Bill " For the Relief of Certain Insolvent Debtors in England." The LORD CHANCELLOR then, as Organ of the Commh aloners, delivt-r. d ate tollowtog Speech. in the name of his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, to both Houses of Parliament : " My Lords, and Geneve:a i , "'ln termina4ag the preseot Session of Parliament, his Royal Highness the Prince Regent has commanded us to express to you the deep cotiteen which he feels at the cofitinuance of his Mijesiy's lain" coked inclispOsitien.

" His Royal Highness most warmly participates in those sett thnents of approbation which you have bestowed on the consum mate skill and intrepidity displayed In the operations which led to the capture of the important Fortresses of Ciudad Rodrigo and Badajoz, during the present campaign ; and his Royal Highness confidently treats, that the tried valour of the allied forces under the distinguished command of General the Earl of Wellington, combined with the unabated spirit and steady perseverance of the SpaniSh and Portuguese Natione, will finally bring the con test in that quarter to an Issue, by which the Independence of the Peninsula will be effectually secured.

His Royal Highness is 1. nevertheless wining to hope, that the accustomed relations of ! penes and amity between the two Countries may yet be restored; - - 1 bin if his expectations in this.respect should be disappointed by ' ' the conduct of the Government of the United States, or by their „ perseverance in any unwarrantable pretensions, be wiil most filly rely on the support of everT class of his Majesty's subjects, - tea contest in which the honour of his Mejesty's Crown and the llPst ipterests of his dominion. must be involved.

The Common* then withdrew to their own Houe, and their Lordships separated. received this morning from the other side of the Atlantic : FROM THE HAUJAZ PAM OF JULY S. " BOSTON, JUNS as. THZ WAR AT SFA.....2The first fruits of war will probably be on the ocean. The British hay. on the Halifax, Newfoundland, and West-India stations, three' sail of the line, 21 frigates, 19 sloops of war. and 18 smaller vessels, making a total of 61 armed vessels : the greater part of these will receive the Declaration of War just made, in a few days, and will be in immediate readiness to carry it into caeca- , tion. To meet this force, and to check the depre dations on American commerce, we have the fol lowing remains of as gallant a little navy as ever floated on the ocean: ts The President, 44 guns, Commodore /Looms; United States, 44, Commodore Ducarea ; Congress,l 36, Captain SMITH ; Essex, 32, Captain Poem ; Hornet, 16, Captain LAWRINCE ; and Argils, 16, 1 Captain SINCLAIR ; all these were a few drys since i lying in New-York, ready for sea. The Constitution, 44 guns, Captain HULL, was at the last dates at-An napolis, bound round to New-York. The Chesa peake, 36, is now repairing in this port ; and the Constellation, of the same force, in Washington. • The John Adams, Captain LUDLOW, of 24 guns, and the Nautilus brig, of 12, Captain CRANE, are now in this port, ready for sea. Beside these, the Siren, of 16 guns, Captain BAINBRIDGE, the Enter. prize, of 12, Captain BLAKrLEY, and the Vixen, of 12, Captain GADSDEN, are also in readiness. On the exertions of this naval force to give to our menaced commerce all the protection in its power, we have the most perfect confidence, and lament that it is not infinitely greater. All that valour, skill, and patrio tism can do, will be done ; and if the mercantile com munity shall suffer loss, no imputation could justly fall on the naval officers orour country, for whose success in its protection they have the best wishes of every American citizen. 44 Mr. FOSTER is making preparations to leave the country, much to the joy of M. SERRURIZR. Yesterday, on the promulgation of the Decla ration of War, the feelings of the commercial part of the town were immediately expressed by all the ves sels hoisting their colours half-mast high, with the exception of four coasting vessels. It is said that 12 privateers were fitting for sea in Baltimore, on Thurs day last." STAR-OFFICE, TWO O'CLOCK. We stop the Press to state, that an Embargo has been this instant laid on all American Property at the Custom-House. Similar instructions were last night sent off to all the Out-ports. Orders have been also issued for all American vessels to be seized And brought in by our cruizers, wherever they may be fuund ; but even this measure does not remove our hopes of an amicabli: adjustment being finally accomplished by a temperate line of conduct in the Ministers of both countries. Yesterday, their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of YORE gave a singularly magnificent en tertainment t,) a numerous circle of Illustrious Per sonages (foreigners ai well as natives), together with a few select friends, at their superb chateau at Oat :lands. The PRINCE Ream left town for that seat as early as noon. The QUEEN and the Newman; ' arrived about three o'clock ; at which time there were assembled together the Dukes of CLARERct, KENT, CUMBERLAND, SUSSEX, and CAMBRIDGE; the French Princes, i. e. Monsieur, the Prince Da CONDE, Dukes DE Bouttame and De Bum ; kewise Colonels BLoom- FIELD, UPTON, and CoNonave • Sir CULLING SMITH, Lady and the Misses Smrrn, Mr. Gantswoon, &c. Yesterday Earl CAMDEN left town for Ireland, on a visit to the Earl of LONDONDERRY. The Countess and daughter will reside in the Isle of Wight during the stay of the Noble Earl in Ireland. Wednesday the Earl of LIVERPOOL gave a grand dinner to a numerous party at his house in Whitehall. The Countess of Cowper' entertained a large party of fashionablcs with an elegant supper on '1 uesday, after the Opera, at her house in Maddox-street, Hit. fovea -square. Among them were 1 be Duke of Devonshire, Lords Palmerston, Castkreagh, Le. Viioll Gower Byron , Roulyn , Binuing, Asocial; Woes Met bourn. C. La mb, C.satiereagh, Harrowby, Bathurst, L. Cower, Hon.

EDINBURGH Races.--Our races commenced this day, Monday, July 27, on Leith Sands.—Two horses were booked for the city's purse of 50 guineas, the Earl of Ei.ou►'s grey mare, and Lord MONToomgm'a grey mare. Yesterday morning, while the tomer was training on the race-ground, she met with a fatal accident. and died in the course of the day. There being no other entered but Lord Montgomerie's, 10 guineas were paid, and the entry money returned, in terms of the advertisement.

We regret to state, that another Banking-House in the City, that of Messrs. JOHN and ALEXANDER ANDERSON and Co. of Philpot-lane, stopped payment this morning. Wednesday afternoon Lord CATHCART and suite arrived at Nelson's Hotel, Yarmouth, and yesterday morning his Lordship, accompanied by Admiral MURRAY in his barge, embarked on board the AQUI LON frigate. His 'Lordship *as saluted by 17 'guns from the Admiral's flag tip. andby a. similar num ber from the AQUTLON, wilds arriving on board. We s regret to add, that the wind was so unfavourable as to prevent the A QUILON from instantly getting under weigh, for surely his Lordship's immediate presence in the North is most imperiously called for. Lord WatcroLe, his Lordship's Secretary, has not yet lett London, and will, most probably, follow in another vessel. Netwithstanding the hostile character of the Ame rican Declaration of War, and the apparently cor responding sentiments addressed by the:Patscs Rs- GENT to Parliament on the subject, upon a temperate review of the causes of complaint urged by the Ame ricans, we cannot allow ourselves to suppose that the hostilities which certainly have been commenced, will be of long duration. A most querulous and captious spirit does indeed pervade the American Docu ment, but like all frothy productions, the very length of it evidences a want of real solid grounds of com plaint. The Orders in Council, which are now revoked, furnish the main topic for invective—the impressment of American Seamen—the maintenance of blockades without a sufficient force to prevent access to the blockaded ports, and the alledged duplicity of em ploying HENRY to dismember the Union, while our Minister at Washington was professing peace and amity, are mere make-weights, which America will not sturdily insist upon, or which may, by a few wise and temperate concessions, be dismissed from the scale of grievances of which she complains. Notwithstanding the expression of " unwarrantable pretensions," as applied to America in the PRINCE REGENT'S Speech, we do not understand that Minis ters have, by uny means, adopted a line of conduct, inconsistent with the spirit of conciliation, keeping in view at the same time a due regard to the dig nity and interests of the nation. As we stated yes. redo& an unusual bustle prevailed at the Cab:not Counal, which did not rise till three o'clock, and the rrecise determination to which Ministers came, has not been suffered to transpire. That something like an embargo on vessels bound for America was resolved upon, until the receipt of further intelligence frqm that country, see believe may be inferred from the circumstance of the mail coaches having Ix en detained last night fully an hour beyond their usual time, in order to convey certain in structions on this subject to the out-ports. • Such a measure must be regarded as precautionary only, for surely it would be reposing too much confidence in the lenity of the American Government to put our property within their reach, until their real sentiments are known. While on this subject, we believe we can state with certainty, that at two o'clock yesterday Licences to American ships continued to be granted, but from that hour they were suspended ; and when Mr. SAN. kW, on behalf of the American Merchants, waited on Ministers in the course of the afternoon to enquire the reason, he was informed, that they were not pre pared to make any decisive communication. In the mean time, it is gratifying to find that strong symptoms of disaffection burst forth in Ame rica the moment the President's denunciation of war was made known. The colours of the merchant vessels in the American harbours were hoisted half mast high—minute guns were fired—and the Presi dent of the united Ststeb with the Emperor Napo.
