PROROGATION OF1 PARLIAMENT.
The business of Parliament was yester.
day finish'd, and this day the prorogation
look place. The commissioners appoint,
ed by his Majesty for this purpose were
the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Liverpool
•and Lord Walsingltam. The following

Speech, as delivered by his Commission,
ere, to both Houses of Patliament t
His Majesty states, that the business of
t WT* Session being <y»ncludfcrt, he has !
I hough* proper to brinfg it to a close. His
Majesty congratulates both Houses upon
the capture of Guadmoujie, an event which
for the first time the history of Great
Britain, has depii^ed Fj,uftce ol the last of
her possessions in the West Indies; and
also upon the subsequent captuie of the i
Dutch possessions in the same quar er of J
the globe—acquisitions which must inevi- j
-lab!? deprive the cnerry of all further ;
means of annoyance to our daily extending ,
commerce*
In he speech to'.he House of Commons
his Majesty thanks them lor the supplies
which they have so libeialty granted for
the services of the year—and while he re
grets the continuance of the arduous strng*
gle in which we are engage d he ccngratu
lales the countiy on the daily increase of
otlr resources and revenues from the un.#
■precedented extension of our commerce to ;
. all parts of the world—circumstance j
’j*hich happily tenders the imposition of;
^new'burdens or fiesh taxation wholly un. !
^tiecesspry*
His Majesty next aUudes to the modifi*
cations and regulations which have been J
adopted during die session, respeCttr g the j
revenues of Ireland, as having relieved
that country from the pressure ol many
burdens, without losing sight of a due re.
gaid lo the necessary receipts from taxtu
lion*
His Majesty thanks the House of,
Commons for their liberal provisions
made lor the Duke of Biumwick.
His Majesty next congratulates both
Houses oi Parliament that Portugal,
has been rescued from the grasp of the |
enemy by the strenuous efforts of his j
Majesty’s army aided by the exertions
. ‘ .of the Portuguese nation—and that
\ Spaim notwithstanding the many re
*Vc rscs of fortune she has experienced
stiJjT maintains her resistance to the
invader with an unabated spirit of
zeal and perseverance.
His Majesty then assures both Hous
es of Parliament, that he deems it e
, qitally for the honor of his Crown and
ti e interests of his Kingdom to contin
ue his nrm and unshaken support of
both these loyal nations.
His Majesty concludes by recom
. mending to the members oi both Hous
es of Parliament to exert themselves,
during the ensuing recess, in their res
pective counties in propagating a spir
it oi unanimity and concord, with o
• * bedience to Older and the laws, as the
\ onjy means of enabling his Majesty to
give eflrct to his exertions in toe con
tinuance of the arduous struggle in
winch we are engaged ; and while his
Majesty thus exhoitsbbth Houses of
Parliament, he assures them that his
conduct. will ever be regulated by
there dictates—a line of conduct which
his Majesty’s long reign, and the gen
eral loyalty of his subjects has con
vinced him, is best suited to enable
him to meet the foreign enemy with
efltct.

AN INqjAN WARRIOR
Died,-—at Parkers-town, (Vermont}
Capt. JOHN VINCENT, an Indian,
aged 95.—4af1755, he had a command'
among the Cognawogga tribe, then op
posed by French influence, to these
then colonies and provinces. Gen.
Braddock was at that time, defeated
at Fort du Queaoe, near where. Pitts
burgh now is.—-Capt. Vincent had
reconn^itered the country southerly to
the mouth of the Scioto, and ,ha<J re
turned before the engagement—-He
formed the ambuscade which defeat
ed Braddock. Upon the death of
Braddock he commanded and conten
ded against Col. Washington, and has
often, sspd, that if Braddock had known
the great man then .advising him, he
would have beenpreserved—that Brad
dock did not consider Col. Washing
ton as a soldier, and therefore lost his
l*fe—th.*t Col. Washington harrassed
the French and Indians, where they
supposed themselves to be conquerors.
At that time capt Vincent returned
with his warriors to his tribe—that at
the commencement of the revolution.,
ary war, he, capt. John, soon learned
that col. Washington was commander
in chief—that hia tribe being in the
British interest, he Jeft them, fully be
lieving the Great Spirit had preserved
col, Washington ; that a number of
his yopng warriors, after the death of
Braddock, had shot at Washington, but
nobody'-could kill him ; that about the
year 1799, capt. John received from
Gen. Wasington a captain's commis
8,un* n“ puoteu the American troops
from Cambridge through tde province
of Maine to Quebec. He was at Que
bec when Montgomery fell. He well
understood the history of the revolu
tionary war, having in 1775 espoused
the American cause.—The Legislature
of Vermont having known this distin
guished chieftain, long since made him
a pensioner.—Captain John was early
educated by a Roman Catholic Priest
in the French ^language, and in the
tenets of that church. These early
impressions were not erased. At no
time was this tenant of the forest known
to rise without his orisons, to sleep
without his vespers or to eat without
at least offering up his silent but
reverend petition- From his Roman
instructor he had received a large quar
to French bibh;. This he often Yead,
& preserved as his best inheritance ; &
it is said, has bequeathed it to the Rev.
Heman Rail. It is not supposed that
'capt Vincent wa9 perfect, but he was
brave, generous, humane and pious.
An uniform coat, presented to him by
G*en. W ashington, he bequeathed, with
some other articles, to Mr. Richard
son.

FRIDAY, August 10, 1810,' ***
Cobbet, in his Political Register of
the 8th of June, 1810, speaking of the
W heat Crop in Great*Britain, says,
The tearful prospect of the wheat
crop, unless timely precautions be ta*
ken, will, in my opinion, expose, the
country to most awful calamities. « I
hope the ministers will, in time, take
care to secure supplies of wheat from
the continent of Europe, and to keep
it in hand till winter ; for, from very
expensive information, I give it as my
decided opinion, that not one half so
mtfch zuheat xoill be grozved this year as
zuas grozved last year ; and, it is well
known that last year’s was'a short
crop. r I am of opinion that one eighth
part,^or thereabouts, of all the wheat
land is actually ploughed up ; and that
not more than half, or at most, two*
thirds of the ground is covered of that
which is not ploughed up.”

discredit or dishonor of the United

^ the silence of the people proceeds
from opposite causes—the people look
for a different course of public mea

who would betray the rights of an in.

alone justify the nation.
