Tll E NATIONAL REGISTER.. LONDON : MONDAY, JULY 14, 1817. Saturday 'being appointed for the prorogation of Parliament, the House of Lords was crowded to excess .at an early hoer, both within and without the bar. Within the bar the hack benches were filled with ladies of rank and fashion. The presence of the Foreign Ambassadors in the costume of their respective Courts, Lildal to the Peers of Parliamcnt,.themselves being at tired in their robes, rendered the corip d'ecif still more interesting. Among the foutalcs of distinction who - were present was her •Royul Highness the Dushess of Cumberland. At two o'clock the Lord Chancellor took his scat on the woolrack, and, in half an hour the discharge of 21 puns announced the arcital of his R o y a l ili g li m .„ the Prince Regent, who, after the usual fornialiaes in the Robtug Ciranher, entered the Hnuse and took his 'teat en the Throne, every iudividtud preseut .stund;ng arid uncovered. An era.t tv.ts then given •by.his flnyal Highness to -summon the Commons to his presence. Shortly afterwards the Speaker of the House of Com- Amens uttended by the Members of that house. entered theilaos.e, and mlvancA to the'har. , The Speaker then aldretised biA naval Highners. His speech dwelt on the labours of his kiajesty's iltaithful Commons ; " ontlif (sail he) this Stis..hin has not been maaed with that brilliancy and splendour which hes characterized tanner Sessions, vtt we have the canscitus satisfaction to rtflect, that - having had great duties to perf rat, to the perform:meet; of those .duties we apilied a most tidthral and indefittigalle attention. " Sir, the Bit which•it is my duty litinib7w to prti 'Acta to your Royal Highness, la.entitleti, An act for - applying certain monies therein tuvnti.nicil.for. the ser of the year 1817 ; and for further ..ppropriating• 411! S ipplies granted in thitOessi9n of Pariiitracnt ' tv ". huh, with all humliity, we pray his Majesty's , royal usz:eot. _ At the conclusion of his 9pcceli the Lord Chancellor received the Bill, to which, together with the Eke tion Pull regulations Bill, the royid assent wa. given. THE NATIONAL ItEGISTEV His Royal Highness the Prince Regent then read his Speech, of which the following is a copy : MY LORDS, AND GrNTLEDIEN. I Cannot close this session of Parliament, without renewing my expression- of deep regret at the continuance of his 'Majesty's lamen ted indisposition. The diligence with which you have 'plied yourselves to the con sideration of the different objects witieli I recommended to your at tention at the commencement of the session, demands my warmest acknowledgments; and I have no doubt that the favourable cliamte which is happily taking place in our internal Situation, is to be mainly ascribed to the salutary measures which you have adopted for pre. serving the public tranquility, anti to your steady adherence to those principals by which the constitution, rusourcos, and credit of the country . have hitherto been preserved and maintained. Notwithstanding the tuts and industry which have been ton suc cessfully exerted in some parts of country to alienate the afiLvtions of his Majesty's subjects, anti to stimulate them to acts of violence and insurrection, I have had the satisfaction of receiving the most decisive proofs of the loyalty anti public spirit of the ducat body of the people ; and the patience with which they have sustained the most severe tern porary distress, cannot be too highly commended. I am fully sensible of the confidence which you have manifested towards me by the extraordinary powers which you hove placed in my hands : The Necessity which has called for them is to me matter of deep regret ; and you may rely on my making a temperate but ef fectual use of them, for the protection and security of his Majesty's loyal subjects. GEstYLEmr.w HE THE. HALTS): HE COMMONS, I thank you for the supplies which you bave granted to me ; and for the laborious investigation which, at my recommendation, you have made into the state of the income and expenditure of the country. It has given me sincere pleasure to find thnt you have been ena ble,' to provide for every branch of the public service without any addition to the burthena of the people. The state of public credit affords a decisive proof of the wisdom and expediency, under all the present circumstances, of those finan cial arrangements which you have adopted. I have every reason to believe that the deficiency in the Revenue is, in a great degree, to be ascribed to the imEivourable state of the last sea , on ; and I look forward with sanguine expectations to its gradual improvement. MY Loons ANT) GENTLEMEN', The Measures which were in pmgress at the commencement of the Session, for the issue of a new Silver Coinage, have been carried into execution in a manner which has given universal satistisetion; and to complete the system which has beensanctioncd by Parliament, a Gold Coinage of a new denomination has betn,provided fur the convenience of the public. I -continue to receive from foreign powers the strongest assurances of their friendly disposition towards this country, and of their desire to preseive the general tranquillity. The prrrpeet of an abundant harvest thmagliout a considerable DZITI. of the continent is in the highest degree satisfactory. This happy dispensation of Providence cannot fail to mitigate, if not wholly to remove. th4tt pressure under which so many of the nations of Europe have been suffering in the course of the last year ; and I 'trust that we may look forward in consequence to an improvement in :the commercial relations of this anti of all other countries. I cannot allow you to separate without realm/tending to you. that upon your return to your severid counties, you should use y our ut most endeavours to defeat all attempts to corrupt arid niiiircad the I.iwt r classes of the community; and that you should lose no oppor tunity of inculcating amongst them that spirit of coneard and obe dience to the lows, which is not less essential to their happinese as individuals. than it is indispentadde so the gtheral welfare and pros perity of the kingdom. Then the Lord Chancellor, by the Prince Regent's command, said.;— NY LORDS. Alnl CrgTtrstrg, It is the will and pleasure of his !loyal Ilit;hness the Prince Re gent, acting in the name and on behalf of hs Majesty, That this Par liament be prororudi to Itlond.ty, the 25th day of August next, to be then here holden • and this Parliament is accordingly prorogued to Monday the 25th 'day of August next. It having been finally arranged to dose the Session of Parliament on Saturday. Mr. Nose went to fetch the Crown from the Tower, which he has done fur these • forty years past. The cream-coloured horses, which draw the State carriage, had been exercised for some time previous. Orders had been given for guards of honour, &c. and they were accordingly in attendance, as well as various detachments in different parts of the Park, St. James's Palace, the streets, the House of Peers, &e. A little hefore•one o'clock, a detachment of-the Life Guards took their station at the gate of Cmiton House yard, in St. James's Park, and escorted the Prince Re gent in his private carriage to the Palace, where he .ca!ered by the garden gate, and directly aft er hi s R o y a l Highr.ess received Colonel Hill, the Field Of in waiting, who laid bctive the Prince the effective state of the three regiments of Foot Guards. Colonel Davis, the Colonel of` the King's Guard, also attended, and took the military password of the day from the Regent. Most of the great Officers of State and the Household . were in readiness to receive Lis Royal Highness, and he was conducted to the state carriage by the Lord Chamberlain. The Duke of Montrose, as Master of the Horse, and Viscount Lake, es the Lord in waiting, rode in the state clerkge with the Prince. The otherattend unts were, the Treasurer of the Househeld, the Comp troller of the Household, the Hon. Gen. Finch, us (;roan in waiting, Earl flarrington, as Gold Stick, the Captain Or the Yeomen of the Guard, Sir William .Kep pAl, as the Maeter of the •Rdbes, •fieneral Bailey, as• Equerry in waiting, Master Net, the Page-of Hon our, the State Page, &c. The otter attenden es "(Klein three carriages, with six • &wan' bays, ornamented with red ribbonr, and one cariage with eight tine blacks, cram...need with crim son ribbons. They were escorted by the military, six • nutr,halmen, twenty-fottr tbutmen, two and two ; ten . yeomen of the guard, and. one at each wheel. The Prince was dressed in blue and gold nniform, decorated with all his- eplentlA orders. Ile-entered the state carriage exactly iLs the clock struck two. The procession moved •at a slow pace down the centre mil of St. Jurne..'s Pink ; at the Horse Guards the Prince • egAlt was saluted with the sound of truirpets, tb irrnd of the regiment of Life Guards. The, WLY 14. windows of- the houses in Parliament -street, were filed with females genteely pressed, who as well as the populace, received hi 4 loyal Highness with every marl; of respect and attachment, as they did when his loyal Highness alighted from his carriage to enter the Parliament House, where the band of the Ist regiment of Foot (;bands were stationed, and received him with " God save the King." The Prince entered the House at twenty-five minutes past two o'clock, which was announced by a discharge of a Royal salute from cannon statimed on the Lambeth shore from a signal on the roof of the House by one of the artillery. His Royal Highness remained in the House half an hour, and his departure was announced by another Royal salute. The procession returned in a slow pace, the public cheering the Prince Regent the whole of the way. They arrived at the Palace-yard about twenty minutes past three o'clock. The intelligence received from the Continent during the week is of very little interest in a political point of view ; but as far as humanity is concerned it is of the most pleasing description. Accounts from all parts agree in representing the harvest ns most abundant, and the reduction in the price of grain as averaging 100 per rent. An articlein one of the French Journals mentions the arrests of Generals Donaage and Belair, and of the Marchioness de Lavalette. This lady is no relation to the celebrated persons of that name. She is the widow of a Revolutionary general who was guillotined on the same day with Robespierre. The prevatal Court of Lyon continues its proceedings against the persons concerned in the late conspiracy. Three have been executed and seven sentenced to transportation. The Paris Papers of the 10th have arrived. The Court is in anxitn►s expert:l6m of the approaching birth of a Royal infant.

It was brought on by an accident, which happened to him in the act of stepping into bed, when he fell back on the floor with such violenoc, as to remain an hour and a half senseless. The Bth, being the anniversary of the King's re turn to the capital, his Majesty reviewed the thirtven Legions of the Parisian National Guard, upon the Ikadevard Caumartin. The streets through he passed were lined with military, and the white flag, and other appropriate emblems, were displayed fruns the windows. The number amen under arms is es timated at 36,000. The city was illuminated at night, and popular pieces were played at the several Thea tres. The Five per Cent. Consols were, on Wednesday, GG 13:trik Actions, ,:tt2 7. A Harnburgli Mail bas just arrived with rapers from that city to the 4th inst. Thee contain an Imperi.:l Decree for vstablishiu , r a new Imperial Comnwrcial Bank nt St. Petersburg% • The Parliamentary proceedings of the last week have been rather interesting, particularly those of Friday. Mr. Brougham as if desirous of giving the Minis ters a complete triumph over himself and his party, brow , -ht forward his promised motion on the state of the Nation. This is a species of motion, which in the better days of the opposition was frequently brought forward as a trial of strength, and by the discussionscin such motions, the public generally gained much valu able information. In the present ease Mr. Brougham brought nothing before us but persomtl almse, and that in the groisest terms, of an individual member of the ad ministration. Charges of the blackest hue which have been an 'hundred times preferred and an hundred times refuted, constituted the base and super-structure of this mighty edifice, the erection of svhi( b has required the industry of a whole session. It fell, imwever, like house.of sand, before the overwheiming eloquence of Lord 'Castlereagh ; and though the learned mover and a few of his friends aid afterwards peep forth and at tempt to make a stand, they were instantly overthrown by Mr. Canning in one of the very best ceeeles tee ever remember Lim to have made. The statements made in both Houses of Parliament on Vedncsdav and 'fltursd:Tnights, atlirrd a inelanclioly proof of the ineffcieney of all our exertions to repress tare horrors of the Slave Tnute. It mattei's littic that the British Parliament and the British Nation should enact, and express their strongest indignation against those who still traffic in the blood and misery of their fellow -creatures, when we find even our own subjects embarking their capital under the protection of foreign fhigs, in.the continued prosecution of it. But even were it possible to repress this part of the•evil, the force of our laws and the expression of our indignation Aiwa no protection-to the miserable Africans, while they ore exposed to the cold.blooda relentless cruelty of Portu guese and Spaniards. Their sufferings, which are ga thered from -authenticated papers, congeals the blood witit horror, and inake.s us Wash for lattnanity—makes us almost lament the superiority of unierstanding with which ntaniti•ctulnwed, 'whey it alone enables him to speculate in the miseries of his species, and to practise the refinements of a more systematic cruelty.
