LON DON,
THURSDAY. JUNE 20.

An important Message from His MAJESTY was
delivered last night to both iI4 ises of Parliament.
A correct copy of it will be f its proper place
in our Report of Parlianlentary Debate. It states,
that the communication. ailutled to in His MAJES-
TY'S Speech, at the opening of the Ses.ion, between
this country and some of the Continental Powers,
are still depending, and have not been sufficiently
brought to a point to enable His MAJesry to lay the
result before Parliament. The Earl of Ca R YSTOIT
in the House of Lords, and Mr. Gear in the I !wise of
Commons, severally gave notice, sons! days since,
of motions, both of which are fixed for this day,
for the porpose of obtaining 1,011,C explanation
upon this suhjoa. Although His MAJESTY'S

Mcssagc may not prevent them, their objea
. may be now considered unattainatrie, as, under the
exist ingcircurnstances stated in the Message, no such
explanation can place. We own that we feel no

surprise at the substance of His MAi UT V's Message.
We have more than once endeavoured to chew that
there was no ostc:-.siLIJ ground for the sanguine
es;Eta•ims whkh soma of our Contemporai its
