FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. PARIS, AUG. 4.—Messrs.Coudert and Mathieu, vomiemned to five years' imprisonment by the 'Council of War, at Tours, who had been trans lerrcti to Paris, where they were detained in the poison of Montaigu, escaped thence on the night of Monday last.—(Constitutionnel.) The Gazette of Corfu, of June 15, contains an 44rdonnance of the Anglo-lonian Government, .which pronounces the punishment of death against .the exiles who may set foot . again in the Island :of Santa Maura.—(lbid.) The Echo die Midi reports that the Spanish In= •,surgents had taken Vich, after an obstinate con , test ; but as this Journal had previously falsely announced the capture of this town, the news w ants confirmation. • TRIESTE, JULY 20 —According, to the officiall Report published by. the Admiralty of hydra and Spezzia, under date of the sth July, on the i'ffair of Scio, the Turkish fleet suffered the fol lowing loss' :—the Admiral's ship of 130 guns has been blown up; three other ships of the line burnt have sunk ; terror having paralysed the Turks, seven frigates have stranded near Tchesme, and the greatest part of the crews have perished in the waves. The Greeks have taken 16 ships of the third expedition which sailed from Constantinople on the 4th of June ; the rest of this squadron is blockaded near Tchesme. The Asiatics have left Scio with more haste than they came. ConfuSion, .trouble, and con sternation are at their height. The Greeks, rid of the Capt. Pacha, prepare an expedition to Candia ; but we tremble for the unarmed and defenceless Greeks at Constantinople. LupsicK, JULY 24.—The 20th of this month several couriers coming from Paris have passed .through our city—one for Berlin, another for Petersburgh. Their dispatches are supposed to relate to the events of Madrid, which are to be the object of the deliberations of the Congress in Italy: All good intelligence concurs in saying, that the Turks are imperturbable in their system, and that there is little probability of a termination of the negociations before the Greeks are completely subdued or victorious. COURT OF ASSIZE AT COLMAR. SITTING OF JULY 30. The accused DUBLAR, being interrogated by the President as to the Motive of his journey to Alsace, declared that he went on a commercial speculation, and to examine the lithography .of Mulhausen. On arriving at his destination, he found his portmanteau, containing all his effects, had been stolen. The next day he was arrested and committed to prison. The fifty-eighth witness, M. Bonnay, Mayor of the town of Thann, deposed to the circumstances of the arrest of Colonel Pailhes, according to the report which was made to him by his Serjeant of Police. Jean Thiebaud Birrer, Serjeant of Police at Thann, gave testimony nearly to the same effect as the last. witness. J. Weiss and Antoine Tscheiller, Guards of the Police at Thann, did not speak a word of French ; the interpreter admi nistered the oath to them, and translated their dispositions to the Jury. The first of these witnesses stated, in addition to his original tesitmony, that when Colonel Pailhes fled, he heard him exclaim, " I am a ruined man" (Je suis perdu), which the witness pronounced, Ge souis beriou. The second witness being interrogated as to this point, asked the interpreter what we.; the French for Jch bin verlohren' " I am a lost man ;" and, upon hearing it, said, " Aye, now I re collect, the Colonel did say, Ge sonis bertou.'" M. VEnsr.—How could the witnesses, who know not a word of French, understand the words which they ascribe to Co lonel Pailhes ? Hote happened it that this circumstance escaped them on their first examination ? and how is it possible to be lieve tiur testimony of a witness, who, before he 'deposes to the words which he pretends to have heard, is obliged to ask the ..Thterpreter how the German words Jeh bin verlohren' are ren dered in French ? " The witness Weiss said he was not so ignorant of the French :language as the Counsetsupposed, for he knew the French for the words dann,tind :eaten to be de temps a autre. Several other witness were examined, but their testimony 'was as frivolous and unimportant as that of the last witness. STocanotim, JULY 23.—Mr. Aucidson, Editor of the Morganblari at Abo, who had also a place .as teacher in the University of that town, is ba nished, because he had been guilty of inculcating 'dangerous principles into th youth.---It seems now,-that his Royal Highness the Crown Prince -will not return from his travels in time to be . present at the opening of the Norwegian Diet. FRA:4I(FortT, JULY 23.—The Deport of the Central Committee of Inquiry at Mayence is very volumnious, and accompanied by an Ap pendix of 3/ Documents. The public can hard ly expect before the end of the year the • pro - rased publication of the final Report. It is to -contain a very copious extract from the Principal and Supplementary Reports laid before the Diet, and also the accompanying Document, as without the latter it would not be sufficient to give the public the convincing' prodfs that are expected from it., The five last divisions of the plan for the-Mi . litary Constitution of the German Confedera tion were discussed in the last Sitting of the Diet. • Public expectation is excited in an uncommon 'degree by what has transpired of the result of the 15th Sitting of the Commercial Congress at Darmstadt, which took place on the Ist inst.:— Bavaria declared, as it appears, :that it was less disposed to renounce ,its system of depots, in compliance with the objections made to it in pre vious sittings, because its system had already iitood the test of experience, and that proposed as a substitute was a mere experiment founded on theory. It was also convinced that the -duties in the Bavarian Tariff might perhaps be raised, but could never be reduced . as circum- :stances now stood. , It is well known that .the objections made to the pinciples of the Bavarian system chiefly pro. ceeded from Baden, which was a.fterWards joined . by Ifesse Darmstadt. In the last Sitting, the _House of Tholmzoltern gave in a declaration .agreeing with the principles of Baden. The other Members were partly without instruction, as, for instance, the Agent of V4Turtemberg, and partly .:-as the Agent of Ilesse Cassel, induced to receive their opinion for important reasons that had lately occurred. Sr. PETERSBURGIf, JULY 16.—1 n the course of the month of May this year, there were imported -into Riga foreign goods to the amount of 837,282 '.roubles, and Russian produce „exported to the value of 5,241,361 roubles. We.expect that all the regiments of the Guards will be here this mouth. Itis said they hasten their march to be here at the great festival at Peterhof on the 3d of August. HAMBURGH, JULY 30.—Exchange on London-3G 111— 37 2A. PETEMBURGIT JULY 16. --:Exchanges.— London, 9 15-16 ; Amsterdam, 10 ; Ilamburgh, 9 3-16 ; Paris, 1031. GENOA, JULY 17.-41 is Majesty's squadron which .sailed from this port on the 15th June, ar rived on the 28th of the same month at Tunis. It experienced the most friendly reception from the Turks. The fort of La Goletta saluted the squadron with 21 gunsochich were returned with an'equal number, and the fort hoisted the flag of the Pasha in compliment to the Admiral. There is every reason to hope that the appearance of a squadron at Tunis will *duce the most bene ficial effects to our commerce, and the merchants who are_established there have already felt the advantages of it. ODESSA, JULY 7.—The news of the destruction of the- Capitan Paella has excited the most enthu siastic joy here, and it is not doubted that this event will have the most beneficial consequences for the Greeks ; -but it may. be imagined what an impression it will make on the mind of the Sultan ; we must be prepared for horrible ex cesses. The extirpation of the Greeks, which was resolved upon, and which was to be,accom plished under the ,cover of an amnesty, and, as it were, sanctioned by the European Ambassadors, has opened the eyes of the Greeks. An amnesty, and laying down their arms, ,would be • certain death. The Turks will often repeat the scenes at Scio. Thus we have still unfavourable ac counts of the state of Constantinople after the're ception of that bad news, but we have no ac counts by sea, as not a vessel from • the capital has arrived for several days. VIENNA, JULY 22.—Metalliques, 794—Bank; Shares, 784. JULY 23.—Metalliques, 79i—Bank Shares, 784 4-sths. SPAIN. . TIIE CONDUCT OF FRANCE TOWARDS SPAIN. A Madrid Government Paper of the 22d ult. thus expresses the opinion of the best informed party in Spain respecting - the late conduct and demonstrations of France towards the Penin- sula : In a late number we expressed the just complaints whicl Spain has to make against the French Government, and used the strongest terms which our indignation could suggest. — Some persons have given it as their opinion that we exceeded due bounds, and that we have done wrong in applying'the word " infamous" to those who rule in France. We declare frankly that we then employed the term as the strongest which occurred to us ; and that we would have employed any one more abusive, if the dictionary of our language had supplied it. If those who accuse us of exaggeration could see the corres pondence which we have received by to-day's post, and which lies before us while we dictate this artiele,we are sure that they would allow us credit for moderation in our expressions. But what necessity is there for suing private correspondence when the facts on which our complaints are founded are public ? Is it not certain that the French Government has repeatedly pro mised to the Spanish Government to confine within their limits the followers of Quesada, and that it never has done so ?, Can the French Government deny that at the time it was making . these promises, it was tolerating, and even openly protecting, the invasion which the traitor Eguia and his followers were organizing ? Is there in Bayonne, or in the whole kingdom of France, ' a single Frenchman who is ignorant that at the very moment when Louis XVIII. was solemnly declaring that he had no hostile intentions towards Spain, his Government was giving orders to send troops and artillery to the frontiers to give to the supposed cordon sanitaire the aspect of an invading army ? But they will say that these were precautionary measures which they took, because they anticipated what has happened in Spain. How anticipated ! Something more than presumptions were neces sary to hake them act so, and it does not require a conjuror to tell us that the house will be set on fire when alighted faggot is put to its timbers. But potting aside the secret manoeuvres which appear through the then disguises of diplomacy, we shall ask if the French Government can deny that at the present mo ment those recruits are passing to the interior of France which Eguia sent to Quesada as far as Bayonne ? Can that Govern ment, whose policy every one knows, be ignorant that there is now, a fine caravan of 50 mules employed to carry provisions and medicines to the insurgents commanded by Quesada, and that they freely enter and freely leave'San Juan de pie tie Puerto without passing . lazarettos or enduring fumigations ? Whom can the Authorities of Bayonne prevail upon to believe, that they are ignorant that on the Bth inst. Eguia received from. Madrid two millions (of francs we suppose); and that this money, together with sums previously received, are employed by Nunez A breu (after the necessary discount for his labour and commission) in purchasing clothes and arms for the soldiers " of the Faith ?" And after this, shall the French Govern ment complain that we call their conduct infamous ? How would the Pavillon Marsancall us if we were behaving with half the hostility which they are showing towards us.—Nol we are not sorry for having used the expression, and we shall re peat it if necessary. Eternal peace among all nations!. inter minable friendship with tlfe French nation, and eternal separa tion from all Governments that Will not treat us with the since rity and good faith which we evince toward them. It would be an excess of patience, amounting to stupidity, to facilitate to our enemies the means of carrying on their machinations against us with impunity. LFrom the Echo Du Midi.] A letter from the head-quarters at Urgel, dated July 23, states as follows : " The well-known manufactory of guns .at Rippol, in Cata lonia, which is in the possession of the Army of the Faith , is in full Work. They are employed night and day, in order to furnish that brave infantry with arms ; hut in spite of the zeal and good-will of the 'workmen, they cannot supply the de mand, and the General is obliged to refuse many soldiers who are eager to assist in breaking asunder the chains' which bind their Sovereign. It is.diflicult to describe the enthusiasm of those on whom the choice falls, and all the others wait with impatience the moment when they shall be admitted into the ranks of the brave. " The gallant Commanders, Don Salvador Malavilla and Don Thomas Costa, attacked in the commencement of the last week the Constitutionalists who had assembled in force in the neighbourhood of Vich, and, although the latter were much more numerous, they were compelled by the Royalists to bar ricade themselves in the town. Malavilla and Costa, perceiv ing that the intrenchments could not be forced, without much loss of blood, determined to wait for reinforcements, and hay ing taken up a position at half a . league from the town, sent to Urgel for more troops. The Commander, Basson, at the head of 2,000 men, immediately advanced. , As soon as he had effected a junction, the united troops 'marched againgst the Constitutionalists, and an estafette, just arrived, brings intelligence‘hat they entered Vich after an obstinate contest . The Provisional Junta of Urgel has already under ics orders a considerable number of Cavalry, and two squadrons of Lan cers are now forming, composed for the most part of men who have already been in the same service. . A private letter announces that the Royalists are closely pressing the Fort of Cardona ; they have already cut off the supplies of water, and the place cannot hold out long. A letter from Bayonne, of the 25th, gives the following ,in formatidn :•••••-•" The park of artillery in this town is in the same 'a nation as if for the' fitting out of a large army ; even a bridge of. boats has just been prepared." A letter from Roucevaux, of July 18, states that the Divi sion of Junanito, which occupied the environs, after having beaten the Constitutitinalists in four engagements and entirely dispersed•them, set out to, join the troops of Quesadd., who are said to be full of ardour, and resolved not to, quit their posi tion ; they intercepted the last Courier from Navarre, and the Constitutionalists did not dare to attack them. - The different troops of Royalists, scattered throughout the provinces of the Guypuscoa, 'have also obtained successes in several encounters with the Liberates, particularly at Arpestia and ' Vergara where the Constitutionalists were dispersed, and left a part of their arms on the field of battle. At Veza the Constitutionalists attacked the Royalists, when they were so warmly received that they were put to the rout, and forty of them made prisoners. The last courier due from Pampeluna did ntitarrive. The write from Bilboa that many young persons have quitted the city to share in the glory of the defenders of the throne and religion. Madrid continues in a sullen torpor. The Government had received unfavourable hews from the Constitutional troops sent against the Royalists of Cordova and Siguenza. The eagerness of the communeros in urging violent measures renders this Go vernment every day more circumspect. They talk of the de- fection o's:veral of the line on the side of Seville and The mountains' f Bruch are filled with Royalists ; thelast courier from Madrid, escorted by 60 militiamen, was attacked by them and wounded, as were also some of the escort. It is not known whether the Royal Guards will proceed to Madrid to makc a second attempt, but it is certain that they are in force and in order, in the direction of the province of Toledo. EAST INDIES. We have received a few Papers from Bombay, to the beginning of March, from which we ex tract the following document relative to the ar rangements made lately by the Dutch Govern ment of Java, for regulating the Duties, &c. of the port of Batavia : " OFFICIAL. " First, That on the, transhipments in the Roads, one duty only shall be paid, with this understanding, that in every case the highest of the two must be charged. " Second, That by the work' lossen,' mentioned in our De cree, is to be understood the breaking bulk, but not the land ing of the goods, so that whenever it is intended to make use of the entrepot it must be communicated on the first entry. " That by the word' value' mentioned, is not to be under stood the prices of the goods at foreign places, but the prices as they really are here, or the invoice price increased with 30 per cent. " That no goods held in the value of 3000 rupees, shall be admitted into entrepot, with thetxception of Flour, Salt,'Pro visions, Wines, Spirits, and Beer, which will be admitted to the amount of 4000 rupees. " That no less quantity of goods than to the value of 4000 rupees - shall be admitted to be entered for Import or Export,' nor may they ,consist of parts, but only whole packages may be admitted. " That no export of Goods brought into entrepot is allowed before the same has remained 14 days, except in particular cases, when permission must be obtained from the Board of Finance. " That whenever the Goods in entrepot are not to be export •ed again, but really imported, the duty already paid of two per cent. shall be deducted from the import duty. " Third, That all ships sailing under the Dutch flag (but belonging to the Colony), when cleared out from Foreign, European, or American ports, are to pay the same import duty as foreign ships from foreign ports. The course of exchange for foreign monies for account; is the Netherlands guilder, 25 India stivers ; the pound sterling 16 guilders ; the five francs 2 guilders; the Danish dollar 2 do.; the Portuguese milrea 31 do. ; the Spanish dollar GO stivers ; the 100 Sicca rupees 110 guilders ; the 100 Arcot rupees, 105 do ; the Star Pagoda four do. ; the China fakil 31 ditto. " Fourth, That no hos. shall be of longer duration than eight days. " Signed at Batavia, " VAN-PER CAPELLAN." THE ARMY. Thursday a company of the 66th Regiment marched into Stirling Castle, to relieve Capt. Baird's company of the 77th, who have been ordered to join the Regiment at Edinburgh. During thelast week the 7th Dragoon Guards passed through Carlisle, on their route from Manchester to Glasgow, where they are to replace the Scots Greys, ordered to attend his Ma jesty at Edinburgh. cITY, TuEsDAy EVENING. A respectable merchant has received a letter, dated on the 24th July, from Vienna, which contains news in every re spect favourable to the cause of the Greeks, and which con sequently is highly satisfactory to all who take an interest in that deeply injured nation. In addition to a confirmation of the capture of the Castle of Athens, these advices likewise communicate the important information that the Christians had carried Arta by storm, but that many of their ablest ofli, cers had'fallen in the assault. Only three fortresses now of any importance, in the Morea, remain in the possession-of the Turks, viz.—Modon, Coron, and Patras. The whole of them had been treating for a surrender, on the same terms as had been granted to the garrison - of Napoli di Romania ; but the Greeks having received an account of the destruction of the Capitan Pacha, and conceiving themselveS thereby made masters of the sea, the Senate had refused to grant to these ' cities the same lenient terms which might have ;been nbtained before their naval victory was made public. This event had filled all the inhabitants of Ancient Greece with the greatest joy, and had added confidence to them of finally succeeding in their splendid efforts to effect the liberation of their country. The Admiral of the Fleet of the Pacha of Egypt, who had effected' a landing in Candia, has not long had cause to rejoice in his good fortune,_ for his fleet consisting of 53 vessels having been defeated by the Greeks, he has been forced to retire, with the loss of 600 men, leaving behind him many horses and tary stores of every description. These are the effects which naturally result from the butchery of Scio. Every Greek arm is now raised against the barbarians, and the certainty that either success or death awaits them has increased their deter mination, and added to their courage in executing all' their un dertakings. There are letters from St. Petersburgh, dated on the 16th . July. They announce the arrival of the Imperial Guards in that capital. , After their splendid services -lately in the cause of Russia, the CZAR must review them with pride and satis faction: Their conduct during the last twelve months has ex 'cited the surprise of civilized Europe, and their disinterested • behaviour in permitting the, Greeks to rear all the glory of clearing. Europe of the Ottoman Power, will fill a prominent page in history. Trade *as extremely dull, and the Exchange was 9-15-16. being a little lower. A few more sales of Tallow had been made at 101 R.—No European or civilized nation feels the want of a free and unrestricted trade at present more severely than the Russian Empire. ' From Hamburgh the,advices are of the 30th July. The Ex change on London was 364 1 and on St. Petersburgh, 9 1-32. The New Prussian Loan was 854, and the Old 864-. Discount Was 3per cent. - Both Coffee and Cotton maintained their value,'but Sugar and Rice were uncommonly dull. The weather was fine after some heavy rains. Rape-seed was advancing, but nothing was doing in Grain or in Clover-seed. . •On ,the Royal Exchange very little mercantile business has latterly been done. The-Exchange on Paris varied from 25. 671 to 25. 70. ;on Hamburgh, 37. S. to 37. 6. Amsterdam, 12f: 5. to 12f. and on Rotterdani, 12f. 51 to 12f. 6. 'Antwerp, 12f. 3. to 12f. 3i, and rather looking up in All places, except ing Amsterdam. Coffee is steady. There were two small pub lic sales of this article. Sugar is decidedly ls. to 2s.' cheaper. The sales consist only of from 500 to 600 hhds. There is no alteration in the value of rums.' The inactivity in legitimate commerce is fully supplied by the large transactions which daily take place in the Foreign Securities. Money is very abun dant. Confidence increases in these loans, and the profit from them is much greater than can be obtained by lending money either on good Bills of Exchange, or by investing it in the British Funds. The French Rentes have advanced to 92.50; Prussia old Bonds are 89, and M. Rothschild's new Prussian Loan u6a ,Columbian new Bonds arc inquired after at 86- t, and the Chili have risen to 81i.

PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, TUESDAY, AUGUST- 6. PROROGATION. This being the day fixed for terminating the third Session of the Seventh Parliament of the United Kingdom, which as sembled on the sth of Feb. last, the benches of this House were nearly filled by Ladies at the early hour of one o'clock, when there was likewise a sprinkling of Peersin their robes; and at ten minutes past one, the LORD CHANCELLOR came in procession to the Woolsack, up the body of the House.—Prayers were im mediately read by the Bishop of EXETER.—At half past one, His Royal Highness The Duke of YORK entered the House, when there were assembled, in addition to many of the Foreign Ambassadors, the Marquis of Cholmondeley, the Earl of Liver pool, the Earl of Shaftesbury, Lord Stowell, the Earl of H arrow ' by, Lord Redesdale, Earl Bathurst, and Lord Calthorpe.—lt wanted four minutes to two o'clock, when the discharge of guns indicated the arrival of Hill MAJESTY at the regal porch; and precisely at five minutes past two o'clock, the KING, hav ing robed, and wearing his superb Crown, took his royal seat upon the Throne.—Hereupon the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod (Sir THOMAS TYRWNITT, Knight) was directed to inform the Commons that his MAJESTY now required their attendance. Mr. SPEAKER, with several of the Members, the Marquis of LONDONDERRY on his left, and attired in his full-dress robes, soon after came to the Bar (which had previously been Covered. with a scarlet embroidered cloth), when, having made his obeisances, he addressed the SOVEREIGN in 'the following words distinctly and impressisvely THE SPEAKER'S SPEECH. " MAY IT PLEASE YOUR MAJESTY, " We, your MAJESTY'S faithful Commons of the United Kingdoin of Great Britain and Ireland, in Parliament assem bled, attend your MAJESTY with the last Bill of Supply of a Session most unusual in its duration, and in which subjects of the highest importance to the country, and I may add, toe. of the greatest diffieulty and delicacy, have engrossed our anxious and unwearied attention. " Your :Majesty was graciously pleased at the commence ment of the Session to suggest for our early consideration the distresses under which the Agricultural Districts of this coun try were labouring, and the disorders and outrages that were prevailing through large Districts in Ireland. " Sir, in ' considering these distresses of the Agricultural Districts—a subject over which Parliament could alone have but a very partial and imperfect controul—it is obvious, that the only efficient relief within our reach was such a reduction of taxation as could be effected consistent with an adequate provision for the services of the State, and with a due regard to the maintenance of public credit. " After a detailed and scrutinizing examination of the Esti mates of the current year, a remission of taxation large in its amount, avid we hope as considerable in its relief, has been effected by a new apportionment of the - burden arising from the payment of the Military and' Naval Pensions and Civil Super annuations, and by the reduction of the rive per Cent. Annui ties, one of the greatest financial measures that the history of this country can afford, and carried into execution with less difficulty, delay, or embarrassment, than could have been anti cipated by the most sanguine expectations. And further, we have made such new regulations with respect to the introduc tion of Foreign Corn into the Home Market, as we hope may relieve the British grower from those inconveniences and losses to which, under the former law, he might have been, subjected. " In considering, Sir, the state of Ireland, we lost no time in passing such measures as seemed best calculated to restore peace and tranquillity to the disturbed Districts. These mea sures, severe as they were, from the emergency that called for them, were enacted but for a very limited period; and when the time arrived for their re-consideration, though compelled to renew the Insurrection Act, it was matter of great consolation to us that no necessity existed for further continuing the Suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act. " Scarcely, however, had we concluded these painful delibe rations, when a louder and more lamentable call was made on our attention—Famine, with its usual attendant, deadly disease, were raging in large and populous districts in Ireland, and were extending their ravages with a speed and malignity that threatened death and destruction to all around. " This was no time, Sir, to discuis the difficulty and deli cacy (under more ordinary circumstances) of the interference of Parliament with the food of the people. " There was but one course consistent either with the feel ings or with the duty of a British House of Commons,—libe rally and promptly to advance every supply that your Majesty's confidential advisers in Ireland could conceive necessary to arrest the progress of so grievous a visitation. " Sir, we performed' this duty most promptly and most cheerfully, and we trust most sincerely the object will be ac complished. " It would ill become me to detail at greater length, the va rious other subjects of great importance with which we have been occupied,—but I may be permitted in conclusion to ex. preis a perfect conviction that your MAJESTY'S faithful Com mons, by their unwearied assiduity of deliberation through this long laborious Session, and by their sincere and zealous exertions to effect whatever might be most conducive to the present relief and to the permanent interests of the Empire at large, have entitled themselves to your MAJESTY'S most gra cious approbation, and to the full and entire confidence of the public. " The Bill which 1 have now humbly to present to your Ma jesty, is entitled An Act for applying certain Monies therein mentioned for the Service of the Year 1822, and for further ap propriating the Supplies granted in this Session of Parliament,' to which, with all humility, we pray your Majesty's Royal Assent." The Royal Assent was then given, with the usual forms, to the Appropriation Bill, the English and Irish Insolvent Debtors' Bill's, the Irish Tithes' Leasing Bill, and the General 'vurnpikes Bill. THE KING'S SPEECH. 'His MAJESTY . then, in an audible voice, delivered the lowing Speech from the Throne:— " MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, " I'cannot release you from your attendance in Parliament, without assuring you how sensible I am of the attention you have paid to the many important objects which have been brought before you in the course of this long and laborious Session. " I continue to receive from Foreign Powers the strongest assurances of their friendly disposition towards this Country ; and I have the satisfaction of believing that the differences which had unfortunately arisen between the Court of St. Pe tersburgh and the Ottoman Porte are in such a train of adjust ment,as to afford a fair prospect that the peace of Europe will not be disturbed. " GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS, " I thank you for the Supplies which you have granted me for the service of the present Year, and for the wisdom you have manifested, in availing yourselves of the first opportunity to reduee the interest of a pan of, the National Debt, without the least infringement of Parliamentary faith. " It is most gratifying to me that you should have been enabled, in consequence of this and of other measures, to relieve my people from some of their burthens. My LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, " The distress which has for some months past pervaded a considerable portion of Ireland, arising principally from the failure of that crop - on . which the great body of the population depends for their subsistence, has deeply affected me. " The measures which you have adopted for the relief of the sufferers . meet with my warmest approbation; and seconded as they have been by the spontaneous and generous efforts of my people, they have most materially contributed to alleviate the pressure of this severe calamity. "nI have the satisfaction of knowing that these exertions have been justly appreciated in Ireland; and I entertain a sincere belief, that the benevolence and sympathy so conspi cuously manifested upon the present occasion, will essentr.lly promote the object which I have ever had at heart, that of cementing the connection which subsists - between every part of the Empire, and of uniting in brotherly love and affection all classes and descriptions of my subjects." Then the LORD CHANCELLOR, by his MAJESTY'S Com mand, said : " MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, • " It is his Majesty's royal will and pleasure, that this Par liament be prorogued to Tuesday the Eighth' day of October next, to be then here holden ; and this Parliament is accord ingly prorogued to Tuesday the Eighth day of October next." After which his MAJESTY retired, with the same ceremo nies which had attended his entry, the Duke of WELLINGTON carrying the Sword of State. HOUSE OF COMMONS, The SPEARE;;;tereatfieHWse at about ten minutes be fore two, and a few minutes after was summoned by the Usher of the Black Rod to attend his MAJESTY at the House of Lords.—The SPEAKER, with the Members then present, im mediately left the House, and returned in about half an hour, when the SPEAKER having invited the Members to approach the table, read a copy of his MAJESTY'S Speech on proroguing the Parliament, for which see Lords.
