This day, at two o'clock, his Royal Highness the Pewee REGENT went to the House of Lords, accom panied by the usual attendants, for the purpose of proroguing Parliament. His Royal ,Highness entered the Parliament Cham ber by the King's door, preceded by his Ministers and Officers bearing the appendages of Royalty. Having taken his seat on the Throne, with the Minis ters, the Archbishops, and the Royal Dukes, on his right and left, the Usher of the Black Rod was scat to desire the attendance of the Commons. The SPEAKER, attended by several Member:4ow after appeared at the Bar, and bowing, delivered sua Address, stating, that the Commons had voted the supplies for the year, and that they looked back with' satisfaction on the success with which th-,: arduous' struggle which had been so long carried on, had been finally crowned, by the liberation of our Allies from thraldom, the overthrow of lawless tyranny, and the restoration of legitirna.te government throughout Eur , pe. The SPEAKER having concluded, his Royal High ness delivered, in a distinct and audible voice, a most gracious Speech, of which the following is as correct 'a sketch as our time and limits will allow ; His Royal Highness began by expressing his regret at the continuance of his Royal Father's lamented in disposition, and after thanking both Houses of Pew' !lament for their attention to public business, his Royal Highness then, in highly dignified and appro priate language, congratulated Parliament on the glorious events which hid occurred since the com mencement of the Session, and on the termination of a war which had been the most disastrous in the annals of Europe. The negociations so happily. ,concluded for securing the future repose of Eis. rope and the happiness of the people, had also been attended with the best results ; and the approaching Congress at Vienna would no doubt finally. ratify the arrangements which had beep concerted for at. taining these great objects. His Royal Highness in alluding to the visit of the August Sovereigns of Europe, expressed his high satisfaction at the unanimous display of loyalty, zeal, and public spirit with which the Royal Visitors were received by the people of this Country—a reception which could not fail to make a most lasting impression on the minds of the Sovereign Princes of Europe. On the subject of America, we understood his Royal Highness to say, that there existed no want of a conciliatory disposition on his part towards that country, but at the same time his Royal Highness pledged himself for a most vigorous prosecution of the contest, in the event of its continuance through the obstinacy of the American Rulers, a pledge which he doubted not the spirit of the nation would enable him to redeem. His Royal Highness concluded by thanking the House of Commons for the 'supplies which they had so liberally granted, and congratulated the country on the near prospect of the reduction of those bur dens which had been so patiently borne during the arduous struggle which had just terminated. In addition or preparatory to the Ministerial ap pointments which we noticed yesterday, we have this day to present the following: Lord KIOSINCTON is to be appointed a Lord of the Min& raky, in the room of Mr. W. Dutton,. What &wage this latter Gentleinan Is to have, we do not yet Mew.

We bare received Paris Papers of 'Wednesday.— They afford a kind of hope in an article from Nurem berg. that Poland will be restored to its independence at the ensuing Congress. Ali article from Madrid speaks, evidently, in stifled tone of indignation, against the new Spanish Government. Alluding to the forged warrants for shooting the three most eminent Generals in Spin, the Editor hints, and we think with justice, that the times are out of joint, when a piece of paper with the Kings name at the bottom, is to be a sufficient au thority for shooting one of his subject without a trial. PANS, JULY t 7. There was a Meeting of the Chamber of Peers Teased''', at which the Chancellor of France pre- sided. The Hereditary Prince of Orange has arrived at Brussels. The anixellois (some say the Berme/hirer, i. e. the Ladies of Brussels) are so fond of the Scottish High landers who are in garrison is their city, that, having heard of the *pproachiag departure of this corps, the have made application in the propF'skuarter for amoral Officers of the British Navy and Engineers have arrived at Antwerp, in order that the Articles of the Treaty of Peace, so far as they concern the shipping at that port, may be executed. One of General Vanclamme's Aides.de-vamp, who has arrived at Paris, contradicts the story of that General having gone over to the Turks. On the contrary, he is on his return to France. A German Journal announces, that the Archdu, chess Maria-Louisa dined, on the .sth July, at 13adets, with the eidevaße King of Holland, CALAIS, JULY 24. The English Admiral Eereiford arrived this morn ing in our pert. on board an English smuggler, and set off immediately far * Paris, The passage, of Cabiriet Couriers through this town is very fmquent, but nothing transpires as to the ma dscs for their journies. A gang of swindlers has been detected here 3 they were all Jews ; some have been arrested, others have fled, and we are now rid of them. The English have adopted the most rigorous mea sures to prevent smuggling: no vessel under 100 tons burdentan come closer than four leagues to the French coast. The French Douane system, on the other hand, is also very severe in preventing the importation of goods of English manufacture. LEIPSIC. JULY 17. - The Emperor of Russia arrived here yesterday unexpectedly, and in the evening the city was bill. !gutty His Majesty walked on foot through the city, and, with his usual condescension and humanity, visited several officers and soldiers who had been grievously wounded at the Battle of Leipsie. To-day the Emperor went to the. Greek Church, and after reviewing the garrison proceeded Ott his route to St. 'etersburgh. The fate of Saxony is by no means fully decided: several Prussian Public Funciioaarfes, employed In our fortresses, assure us that the Circle of Wittenberg and Lower Lusatia will be detached from the King. dose of Saxony, and incorporated with thelrussian -Mnnarchy letters from Berlin confirm this intelli gence. Prussian Officers of Engineers are now occu pied in drawing full plans of several districts of Saxony, particularly of those which ate adjacent to the Marche of Brandenbetg. The Cities of Wittenberg and Torgau Wave con- stantly Prussian garrisons. These two fortresses are still kept upon the war establishment. We do not believe the report that Prussian troops are to occupy Dresden. MADRID, JULY 15 One of our Journals continues its declamations * it attacks the Freemasons with as much ardour as if they were truly formidable. This poor Journalist , boasts of the sacrifices which be has made in order to maintain his ephemeral existence; and be confirms our suspicions on this head. Messrs. Galilean and Count Torre-Musquies have been his benefactors: thus be pronounces eulogiums on them, which would be more lettering if they had the air of being disin souptil. The Reverend Father of the Malaya pro mises them immortality. A Decree of the King confirms the truth of what we already said respecting Generals Elio, O'Donnel, and Villavicencio, who were all upon the point of being shot under an order of the Minister of War, which order was forged by one of their enemies. His Majesty has declared himself highly satisfied I with these officers, boasts of their services, and offers a reward of about 40,000 franks for the discovery 01 the author of the fictitious orders. Pardon is offered to the accomplices if they denounce the guilty, and their names shall be concealed. The reparation is complete, it is true, but it was upon the point of arri ving too late. It is net Ins true, however, that there is some inconvenience in the method adopted, of rt. garding half a sheet of paper, in which the Minister makes, the King speak, as a sufficient title to shoot any bidividual, without any form of process. Three Magistrates, Messrs. Torres, Gomey, and Tons, the Consul, are directed to examine into ) th. - ,condnct of all persons holding official situations is. Madrid dining the troubles of Spain. A similar ce m. ion is to be forred in the Provinces, and the Ent /altlft will be retained or dismissed uccording to the remit of that cavity. NAVAL INTILLICENCL ••••••...

This civil war has been attended with various fortune, The superstition of the guide of the rebel army on one occasion saved the Imperia lists, and occasioned the entire overthrow of their ,entagonistssr-he fancied that he saw the Red Dragon of Chin& descending, from the clond4 go.teire him; the vision was, however, too late to gave lum, and he fell in the general massacre. There is one circum stance connected with this rebellion, of greater inte test by much than the inaccurate or exaggerated ac counts of the numbers that have fallen—[ia Pekin, whose gates were closed three days, it is stated, II: I: a million were slain)—the fate of the battles, or the ingenious punishments that have bees inflicted on the captives.
