IMPERIAL PARLIA NI ENT. HOUSE OF L,ORLiS, MoNtiAy, AUGUST T ER PROROGATIOIt About half-past three o'clock i .the Loan CHAN CELLOR, the Earl of :BUCKINGHAMSHIRE, and Viscount itlymytt.t.E, attended, and their Lord ships having robed, took their, seats as his Ma jesty's Commissioners, on tli4 benPh, in trout the Throne.. • Mr. Quarme, as Black Roil, was then ordered to desire . the immediate attendance of the Com- Mons, who (being represented on this oee►t'ion by: Mr. Ley, jun. one',of the principal Clerks;. anti other Officers, of the House) forthwith appealed at the Bar, and the Royal Commission, au►horis ing the Lords therein named, who were generally those of the Privy Council, or any three, or more of them, to declare the Prince Regent's pleasure witl► respect to the further prorogation of Parlia ment, was read by Mr. E. Waltuesley, us locum tenens.tor ti►e Reading Clerk. The Loan CHANCELLOR, as organ of the Com mission, then said tt Ml' Loans ANn GeNTLEMZN, irtue of the Commisiion under the Great Seal, to us, t►nd other Lords directed, and now read, we do, in obedience to the commands of his Royal Ilighness the Prince Regent, in the name and on behalf of his Majesty, prorogue this Parliament until Monday the Ist day of Noveui6et next, to be then here holden and sit; and this Parliament is ac cordingly prorogued until Nionday, the Ist Isioveuther next." The Commons then withdrew front the Bar, and the Lords Commissioners retired. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCA. The letters by the Qottenburgh Mail were. de-‘ livered from, the Post-Office yesterday, Those frotnOdesia are to tl►e Bth, from Vienna to the 15th, from St. Petersburgh to . the 28tb,: and trelm Berlin to the 31st ult. and those ti-gm Gotten burgh to the 14th instant. We are extremely sorry to find that the plague bas re=appeared in Odessa, and the adjacent country, sip that all business is suspended, and the large supplies of corn 'to •the Mediterranean must, in consequence, he obstructed. The fol. lowing is an extract of a letter from the Austrian capital : " VIENNA, Jut W.—Great preparations con tinue to be matte by the military, apartment, so that the: army, in the event of war, will be in the highest fitateof discipline and equipment. The opinionhere is, that should unfortunately hosti lities recommence, the EMPEROR will become an active party in the conflict for the indepemlenciof Germany, and will support the Allies with all his forces." The intelligence from St. Petersbargh is in no respect of political or military impoltance. Ar ticles of import had risen, in the expectation that Eastern Ciernutuy would he supplied thronli Russia. " BERLIN, JULY 30.--,-The CROWN PRINCE has already under his command an army of 130,000 men, and the territories assigned to his immediate protection are the Duchy of Mecklenburg, and the Marquisate of / Brandenburg, comprehending the whole country 'between the Lower .Elbe and the Lower Oder. It is impossible to describe in adequate terms the ardour of the Prussituts for the renewal of the war.'' _ _ The accounts irons Gottenburgb would lead uni formly to the expectation of the revival of hosti litieli. , TO THE EDIT()a OF Tag SUN. • •, August ai, 1813. has.ever been a cause of regret that intelligence cannot he obtained, by means at the telegraph, in hazy weather, or by night. 'll - it, is not trespassing.. too much upon your columnsil should wish to make a few observations upon this' very iraportant subject. it. has occurred to the that cannon might be made subservient to this purpose.,,lV L atition ball, it is well known, may easily be,w,o4ected, two miles. I would, therefore, propose i that cannons should be placed at two miles distance from each - other ; I believe the telegraphic .stations are not . much farther apart. The balls intended to cam municate the news should be cast hollow, and . unscrew in the middle, so as to contain -theintel ligence, which might be conveyed either in spa; bolie figures of mail, or in partichlars' written with a twine upon thin plates. of Copper, as . should seem best. The ball should then be closed, and` transmittal to the next station, 'which; on being received, should be 'answered by a 'signal . gun, and forwarded to the next station. in - the same manner. Should the ball become too lunch heated try heing so frequently tired,• it shottld be inonerscd for a taw minutes in cold water. eeeive the bulk a mound should ,be etested at vnch station of about the extent, of three or foot. hundred y.tros. •r celerity in obtainitik;counnu nications in this way cannot be doubted, as a cannon ball will traverse the distance of two mites i n t h e amazingly short time of about three iecoilds sit that, allowing foe: the delays at ea ch station, connntlniCations might be had at the metropolis from Portsmouth, a distance of seventy- two miles, in' the course of two hours at the far thesi. The only objection to this-plan is the de tection which is made by balls from the direction in which they are projected, in consequence of high winds, the quantity and quality of the. pow der with which the piece is loaded, aura other cir ettinstances ; but Should suppose that skilful en lo gvers mighteasily counteract thi4 inconvenience. iltuo.Ang,atated what has occurred to me, upon the subit*, leave it forthem to judge of its pradi cubiiity, I Am, Sir, Your very obedient servant, VELwc.

Di'latches front both are hourly expected,.and . scarcely were they' ever, of greater interest or.importance.- The tate Of the, Armistice on the one ' hand, anti the condition of the war on the Pyreunees on the Other, severally constitute objects of as high, moment as any former period of this mighty Struggle has -presented.' i3ut,.thal.►ls Heaven,: the day of doubtfulness and apprehension has closed, and the efforts of Britain have been crowned with success .so glorious, that we Dow look, for in formation only front anxiety to learn, the extent of out , • Not so the Talents Croakers.--" Fears (they tell us) are naturally entertained by many, that'he (SucnET) will be enabled very speedily to join SOULT, and that the latter will thus have so great a superitirity of force as to enable hinr to raise the ,ieges of. St. Sebastian and Panyeltina, and emu , pui Lord WCLLINGTON to retreat." Most cgregioosty and brilliantly ko litical ! But thus it has ever been. 'Within a week at most, (sometimes within tWO days) after every victory, these gentry have discovered that Lord WELLINGTON was in inure danger than ever, and , the prodigious enemy always about to return, in some way or other, to snatch the fruits of conquest from hint, and force him Co retreat. SocueT, forsooth, is the bugbear (.1 day.--Now, whai is the tremendous Sucuwr doing, who is so soon to come about to over whelm Lord WELLINGTON, and raise the sieges of St. Sebastian and Pamplona Why ! be is even running away from Lord W. tictrrisbx, in Cata lonia, the last province in Spain in which FrenCh men have a-- touting If his speed conveys Mini safely through the Perpignan Pass, be may indeed traverse the French departments f0r250 miles, and unite himself to the redouhte'd Lieutenant, but then must Lord W. BawritlqK, with his superior force, stay all the while at Tortosa, or may be not by some glorious march across about seventy miles of a friendly province, join himself to the Great Lord Should be be able to accomplish this, and really though the enemy are better rim tiers than our Amor, we do not see that they ought to be considered so much our stifle, riors in marching as to render it improbable, then all the new fears of the Party are little better founded than their old prophecies, nolle•of w have ever come to puss—for they never pointed to the Pvrennees In our Naval News, under tbe head of 'Foivey, is Mentioned the arrival of a Cartel from Mur laix; with liberated prisoners. 'Fhey state that SOULT'S defeat wits well known ut ChM port, and represented 03 ' n/tore disastrous than it is under stood to, be in this country. .This .we readily be lieve. It is the -nature of suppressed information to augment the disaster it was intended to have concealed, and objects seen through - a mist appear of much gteater magoitude than they are in re ality. From the knowledge of this tact we may infer that, in spite of all the pains taken by the Tyrant, the accounts of his reverses,'in Spain at least, are circulated throughout France, and _ that they seem only more fatal ,from the comparative darkness of the public mind. We wilt not enter at length into ti n - foolish political controversy upon the subject of the propriety or iMpropriety of invading FrilliCe.

But the analogy will not kohl good, in' the iniParii.ble endeavours of our seditiOns and disconterited scribblers to es-; tablith it, and to.soeak tif the Usurper as it on a - level with their ownPridee and other Crowned heads; onlytlisnlays their own want of. knoMettge, or greater want of hiinesty..

They 'therefore resort to means to guard 'themselves--which means destroy them. This is the history of all Ustiriferi and Despots. We have many reasons for hoping that it is about to be verified o u the Murderer who • tyrannizes over Fiance,, and tti haSten an event so desirable,,,;nothing could so preeminently cor:tri-s lilac as the entrance of France by a great and victoOotts , Britol Army. 'Yesterday, certainly not intending the slight est allusion against the Credit and veracity of the Sunday Newspaper, in which Sotay's real or fabricated proclamation first appeared, of •which We have too high an ()pillion to suppose it capable of admitting into itsyespeetable columns a forgery, unless deceived by specious and apparently au thentic data of those who furnished the produc tion, we stated to . the public that we had reason to believe that this article was an imposition which had been manufactured in London. We continue to be-of that opinion, though it would afford us infinite satisfaction to find that we were mistaken in classing this document with those inventions the number of .which has. lately discredited and disgraced the. Press. In truth, there scents to have sprung up, even among '4ournals possessing character, a contest for precedence in this race .of dishonour.- We scarcely know what to bileve, so impudently and unblushingly, put forward are these mischievous fabrications. Pretended private letters—utterly un founded asse;:tions-repOrts invented for the pri vate purposes of their writers—uttrOal arrivals front foreign parts--.let tors to Lloyd's —every thing, in . short, that can. prove their -entire disregard to truth, is resorted to for the idle, and ultimately self-injarious purpose of . attracting a momentary importance. in ,they eye of the public, as the nos seSsors of (well may.it be so) exclusive intelligence. The Fahey and the 4 Speculator, our two !fiat arrivals Irma Spain, , have indeed heen rendered worthy of their names—for imagination and speculation have proceeded to a more shameful pitch upon the corn municationS they really brought than We recollect ever to have noticed inc any former instance. The following letter we copy from, Tice Times we dare ray, tram the character of that Print, that they 'received it from Spain, as mentioned, and the more so us; it so ,decidedly exposes. and reprobates the infamous practices which have led to these ob. servaticrns. All, the military matter. it contains Might as well have been written, in Fleetrstreet Extract of . a letter from 'An Officer witli Lord WELLINGTO'N'S army; dated Head , tiOartcrs,.
