IMPERIeIL P_4RLIAMEAT. HOUSE .OF PEERS, MONDAY, JUNE 28, THE PROROGATION. Ti-US day, at a Quarter before' Three o'Clock, His MA J ESTY came down to the House of . Peers, in the usual State, and being seated on the Throne in his ,Royal Robes, Sir FRANCIS MOLYN Et! X, Bart. Gentleman Usher 'of the Black, Rod,. was. dis. patched to '.order the attendance of the Commons, who forthwith,7,to a fionsiderable number,. with the SPEAKER- at their head, appeared at the Bar. • The SPEAKER, on presenting the Consolidated Fund, and the Imports and Exports Bills, for Hts _MAJESTY'S Royal Assent, delivered the fol lowing Address : " Most Gracious Sovi-reigAr, • " Fr is my duty to present to. Your Majesty, the Bills for 'cornpieting the Supplies which Your 'Majesty's faithful Com - irons have granted for the service of the year.. • " With heartfelt gratitude, they acknowledge Your Majesty's paternal goodness and wisdom, which have already enabled them to make, a large redtietion of the public biirthens; by the termina tion of a long and eventful War ; a War just and necessary in its origin, conducted with energy, sustained with fortitude, signaliZed by . triumphs surpassing the fame of oar ancestors, ,and obtained in Countries unvisited by their arms, and concluded at length by a Peace, which has added new con quests to Your Crown, and given repose and safety to these its andient dominions, whose Peers and Commons have now, for the second year, the hap piness of being , assembled in ONE UNITED PAK.. LIAMENT at the foot of Your Throne. " Thus circumstanced, Your Majesty's faithful Commons not 'only look forward with a sanguine hope that they may not soon be called to the hard necessity of augmenting the Public Debt by future burthens ; but they have deemed it their duty to 'look back to the debt already incurred : and with the same characteristic spirit, which first laid the foundation of an effectual system for file extinction of the National Debt, they have proceeded to ar range and settle a plan for accelerating that ex tindion, by pledging the future application of their growing means to the accomplishment of the same great object. - g‘ At a time, when their attention has been direCted to these considerations, and when they have also found that Taxes of unprecedented weight, though wisely imposed to meet the exigencies of such a War, .might nevertheless be now prudently repealed ; it has given the highest satisfaction to Your Majesty's faithful Commons, to relieve those pressing demands which the general difficulties of the times had cast upon ,the provision assigned by Parliament for the support of Your 'Majesty's household, and the honour and dignity of Your Crown : for this Country has not now to learn, thatits Monarchy is the best and strongest -security for its liberties ; and that the. splendour of the Throne refleas lustre and dignity upon the whole Nation. These, Sire, are amongst the memorable events br a Session thus far protraded ; upon which we reHea with a conscious satisfaaion, that to the discharge of great duties we have brought. pro portionate exertions. And we now indulge the flat tering hope, that we may safely apply ourselves to cultivate the Arts of Peace.—Arts icing dear to your Majesty and congenial to the temper of your people, whose spirit of enterprise in foreign corn. inerce and. internal improvement, unexampled- in its exertions throughout the War, may now. expand itself with redoubled adivity ; .and by .providing new sources of strength and wealth for this country, fix the stability of our own Power—and at the same time promote the common interests of Europe and of all the civilized nations of the world. " The Bills - which I have to present to your Ma jesty are severa►.ly intituled, t: An Aet for granting to His Majestycertain sums of money- out of the respe6tive. Consolidated Funds of Great Britain and Ireland ; for applying certain monies therein mentioned for the service of the year, 18oz ; and for further appropri . sting the Supplies granted in ;his Session of Par- ligment. An Aft for granting to His Majesty certain ad ditional duties on goods imported into and ex. ported from Ireland: " -To, which your Commons with all, humility entreat your Majesty's Royal Assent.'--'. His MAJESTY having previously signified , his Personal Approbation, the Royal Assent was then declared, in •the usual forms, to the Consolidated Fund Bill, the Irish Imports and Exports, the Illi :cit Games, and the Irish Militia Pay Bills. His MA JESTY was then pleased to conclude the Session with a most Gracious Speech from, the Throne---(for which, s2e our Paper ofyesterday.) After His MA J ESTY had delivered his Speech, The.LoRD CHANCELLOR came for ward, and ad &ebbed both Houses to the follolking died : 44 My Lards aid Gentlemen, • " /Cis Royal Wilf and Pleasure that this Parliament be prorogued until Tucsday, the 17th day of August next—and this Parliament stands prorogued till the said 17th day of ,August accordingly." After this farmat prorogation was announced, the Comutons withdrew to their own House, and ills. MAp-s - rY retired in the usual form.---The Sword of Stare was borne by the Earl of RostArt, :toil the Cap t;f Maintenance by the E,arl of MoR- ToN.—The above proceedings conclude the sittings o f the i sii;Purliamgnt of Great Britain, and the first PartiamOili of the 'United Reahn of Great Britain and Ireland. 110 USE OP cOMMONS, tIONDAY, JUNE 28. - The SPEAKER took the Chair about half, past two o'clock. An Account ikev presented, from the Treasury of .the Arrears and Balances in the .hands of the c).fßoers of th►e Land lZevenue of the, Crown, in the UOUtlty or iVIOOMOUttI, WnICII was Ordetea to Ile rul the Table, and to be prin'ted for the use ot the Members. About three o'clock Sir FRANCIS MOLtNEUX, Gentlemas Usher of the Ea& Rod, suit awned the liOtlie CO . attend HIS MAJESTY in the Hoare of Peers. The Sr F AKER, attended by all the Members pre sent, went to the House of Peers. On his return, the Members present assembled 'at the Table, at which the SPEAKER read His MAJESTY'S Speech, after which the Members dis perbed— To the INDEPENDENT FREEHOLDERS of the COUNTY of SURREY. ENT L EMLN, I should estimate but ill the ,Value of your Cony fidence and Favour, if, after the repeated and unequivq. cal marks I have received of them, during a most eventful period of nearly . tburteen years for which I have had the Ho- . nour of representing you, I were to.hesitate one moment io offering you, my Services, shoill.d they be thought worthy your acceptance in another Parliament. Your experience of my past conduit will direa you what to exped from me in future, should you think . fit again to honour me with yoUr SuffrageS. I certainly can pretend to no Other merit than that my actions have never belied my profes sions, and that I have strialy adhered to the salve political sentiments and attachments on which I originally tbunded _rrry claim - to your. favour. All I have to boast of is Consistency : this you - have hitherto been kindly pleased to accept, in lieu of other most important qualifications for a Member of Par liament - and have, supported me, when called upon, against the weight of Ministerial power, with a firmness that has proved .the County of Surrey to have remained ttatainted, amidst the almost general influence of Corruption, 'that noble spirit of Independence which has been in,all times its pre eminent charatieristic. Permit ma to add, thati shall never think any sacrifice too great to evince my gratitude fur the various acts of kindness I have received from you, and to subscribe rnyitelf, . _ Gontleinen, Your much obliged and devoted humble Servant, WILLIAM RUSSELL.

THIs morning' we received a Moniteur of the z6th instant, which contains a Letter from the Principal Commissary of the Marine at &lir deaux to the Minister of the Marine and Colo nies, giving some details of the landing of the, French Armament. at Guadaloupe, and the taking . peaceable possession of that Island. These details will ‘ be found under the Paris. Head.' The Mani/rue likewise contains an Aa of the French Government respeding the Posiage of Let. ters from AM's Country,and Ireland, which we have given at length, as being. of some interest here. This morning arrived 'a Hanzkurgb Mail, the contents of which have, as usual, been anticipated by the French. Papers. / HIS MAJESTY yesterday came to Town from Windsor, and went to St. james!S Palace, where His MAJESTY gave audience, and field a Council, at which the following Cabinet Ministers (being of the KING'S Privy Council), attended :—His Grace the ARCHBISHOP 01 CANTERBURY, the Right Hon. the LORD CHANCELLOR, the LIIANCELLOR Of the! Ex- CHEQUER, the Right Hon. tale SECRETARIES Of STATE, and his Grace the Duke of PORTLAND, Weft'. present ; when His MA; Es-ry issued his Royal,Pt , ,_ clamation to prorogue the present Session of Parlia ment.

His MAJESTY on his return from the House, left Town for Windsor. The Popal4ce greeted HIS MAJESTY With loyal respea, and the KING appeared in great spirits. Mr. PITT left Town yesterday for Cambridge University. Viscount NELSON appeared in the House of Lords, in his Turkish , attire, ati.l the regalia presented to him by the EMPEROX of Russx4. This morning arrived a Mail from 'New-York and Halifax, brought to Falmouth by the Spenc . er Packet, in 3o days ; and 'a Mail from the Leeward Islands,. by the Queen Charlotte Packet, in 36 . days. JOHN SPENCER SMITH, Esq. late Envoy at. Con. stantinople, and his Lady, were landed at South ampton on Friday, from on board the . Rose Packet, and set off for Town on Saturday morning. Yesterday the two Battalions the 3d Regiment of Foot Guards were - reviewed by Gen. MILNER, in Hyde Park. At the close of yesterday's Poll, flit' Bridge-Mas ter of the City of London, the numbers were- 7 —Mr. GALAYSIN267O ; Mr. MAAR toT 186 o; Mr. YEO - 16+8. It is much to be regretted that the CHI Eis CON SUL is not aware of the tyranny which is prac tised in the inferior departments of khe French Go vernment. Nothing like the insolence and rapa city which .are now prevalent in,that Country, were to be found under the Old Government, and the 'real friends of BoNAPARTE should apprize hitn'of this arrogance and rapacity, as they. contribute in a great degree to promote popotar discontent, and to , render France odious to all Foreigners who visit that Country. iVAYIiL 1Y B PORTSMOUTH, jtr : Nt zB.

His Majesty's Sloop Alonzo, Capt. FALCONAR, has sailed up to Chatham, to collea men for a pas. sage to Scotland.. DEAL, JUNE zB. ARRIVED and sailed for the River, the Earl St. Pirant, J9HNso!I, from. St. Vincents, and Zeskyr, Gft EA* Es, from Oporto. have received American Papers up to the 31st of May. They contain several reports of the terms of . To USSA,I NT'S surrender, but nothing is cer tain)), known on the.subjed . . According to one ac. count, the Negro Chief submitted on the conditions of being maintained in the undisturbed possession of his estates, and being appointed to the rank of Lieu tenant-General of the Island, CrialtiTOPHE had . obtained terms.equally favourable, and was to have a considerable command in the North.• At the Cape the general opinion was,' the Rebels. had obtained ample assurances of a complete amnesty 'from the French General. • Another account places this affair in a very diffe, rent light. TOUSSAINT'i surrender, was, it is said, the immediate consequenee . of a severe battle, in which the French were completely, vidorious. Finding all further resistance ineifedual, he offered to submit,•. provided all his Officers were allowed to retain their command. LECLERc reftised to listen to such propo sitions, and under the embarrassing circumstances in whiuh he found 'himself placed, ToussAtwr agreed to an unconditiOnal surrender. His stipu, 'lations did not go beyond an assurance of personal safety. .From the French account itself, however, it is not difficult to coiled that the surrendet was not of the humiliating kind here stated. A Letter from Baltinactre, of the z4th of M'ay, mentions the arrival of Capt. ROGEILS, of that Pori, and Capt. DAVIDSON, of the Si, Dantivso ;Packet, after experiencing the utmost 'severity of treatment in the Island. It is sAid that they were "immured for eighteen days in a Inatlisome, • pestiferous prison, at the Cape, four of which they passed in a separate dungeon. Paring these four days they were not suffe.red to take , any other sus= tenance than bread and water, and they were wholly debarred from the visits of their countrymen." On being released, they were 'peremptorily ordered, to quit the Island in four days, on pain of death, and withoUt having the causes which led to their inipri soon-rent in the slightest degree explained. The Ameriean Journalists inveigh in very warm terms against the condua of TAC LE RC, and call loudly for the Government to take upthe businesSavithbe coMing spirit. Perhaps no debate that ever took place in the flouSe of Commons was productive of so much good as theAiscussion of the Definitive Treaty. 'the very. feeble giound which Mr. WINDHAM and his few supporters maintained, in their long harangues, when they brought forward their opposition to that Treaty, immediately gave way befbre the speeches of Lord HAW KESBURY, and those who so ably defended the Peace, and the wisdom of all the Measures of Gavernrnent; from ,the time. of signing the Preliminary Articles' to the present moment. It was in a great measure . owing to this Debate, that the mind of the. Public has been touch more en lightened, and much better informed on the sub. jet which was then 'agitated, than could have been expelled or ooked for by any .other means consequence of it, 'Addresses to the, Throne on the blessings of a Peace, so happily and honourably, con cluded, were poured in from all quarters, insomuch that there are . few Counties and. Boroughs that have not already laid their congratulations at the feet of Majesty, though'rnany judged it,.pr 'per to wait till after the public inurninations, and the day. of thanksgiving was over ; and it is remarkable, that - upOn no occasion have Addresses been more respedahly attended, both when they were moved, and when they were brought. up. Two Bulls have lately been baited in the Isle of Wight': one of , these poor creatures had' his horns sawed to - the quick in order to provoke ferocity: Me other, when he lay down quite exhausted, and panting 'for breath, had gunpowder .put under MS eye, the explosion of which was.. judged to. lie a happy means-of re.animating his spirits and vigor. is it possible such brutes in human ,shape-can exist, whoe.grand delight seems to center. in tormenting the innocent and helpless part of,the creation,,whiol `,providence has put under - them fur Use comfort.? But these ate some of the.bappy effet4s of tejeaing the Bill 14 prevent I3ull.baiting., • • AT Exeter, Sir Cti,\RLES BAMFYLDE and Mt.
