LONDON.
WEDNESDAY, JULY 14, 1819.

The Panics REGENT proceeded in state yester-
day to the House of Lords, when, after the usual
address from the SPEAKER of the House of Com-
mons, and the Speech from the Throne, the LORD
CHANCELLOR, by command of his Royal Highness,
prorogued Parliament until Tuesday, the 24th day
of August next. Our readers however are, we
presume, in general aware that this early day is
specified, not with the intention of assembling Par-
liament actually on that (I,ly, but solely for the pur-
pose of securing to Members, by short prorogation.
from time to time, their parliamentary privileges,
which would determine if both Houses were to
stand prorogued for the long space between July
and January. The appearance of the House of
Lords on this occasion was extremely magnificent.
With the exception of the front bench on either
aide, the body of the House was filled with Ladies,
elegantly, and in numerous instances superbly
dressed ; the Peers, who occupied the front bench
at either side, were in their robes of state; and at the
upper part of the House, at the right hand of the
Throne, were the Austrian, French, Russian, Ba-
varian; Persian, Algerine, and other Ambassadors,
in the court dresses and costumes of their respec-
tive countries, attended by their several suites. The
Dukes of YORK and KENT took their seats in their
respective chairs at the left hand of the Throne,
near which the Officers of State also ranged them-
selves. Soon after two o'clock the PatNce RE-
GENT entered the House, in a Field-marshal's uni-
form, most magnificently attended. The Peers
and Ladies all rose, and bowed to his Royal High-
ness. 'The Duke of WELLInoTosr bore the Sword
of State, and stood on the left hand of the PRINCE.

The House of Commons being summoned by
Sir THOMAS TYRWHITT, Gentleman Usher of the
Black Rod, the SPEAKER, accompanied by Lord
CAsTLEREAGH and the CHANCELLOR of the Ex-
CHEQUER, in the 11'indsor uniform, and a great
number of the other filembers of the flouse of
Commons (who entered very tumultuously), ap-
proached the bar, amid addressed the PRINCE.
—The Right Honourable Gentleman chiefly re-
ferred to the measures adopted by the House for
restoring to the country the old metallic standard
of value, and to the addition of three millions of
taxes to the bin-delis of the people, for the purpose,
as lie said, of maintaining the good faith and credit
of the country. lie then presented a Bill for ap-
plying to the public service the sums therein speci-
fied, which. with several other Bills, received the
Royal Assent. The Speech delivered from the
Throne by the PRINCE REGENT referred to the
mine topics as had been noticed by the SPEAKER of
the House of C1111111101),I. and, besides alluding to
the (sown:mince of the KING'S indisposition, and to
the assurances rt ct ivitl by his Royal flightless from
Foreign Powers I f their It-lewdly di-pic.itiou towards
this country., expmsed regret at the attempts which
had been 'node in the manufacturing districts to
excite a spirit of disaffection towards the bonito-
timus and Governine, t of the country, and pro-
mised that his Royal Highness would employ all the
powers intrusted to hint by law for preserving the
tratispiillity of the country. It w.ts remarked, that,
in reciting this pint of the Speech, his Royal
Highness trituke w a firmer and more energetic toile
than lie seemed to hove thought it necessary to use
in the (giber pats of it.

We have no doubt of the determination of the
Government strictiy in enforce the laws against all
who may so fir violate them as to disturb the ge-
nt ttauciodlity, and in so doing the Ministris of
the Crown will well deserve the gratitude of the

country. But 7t 7s impciiiilsle not to lament tint dress

PROROGATION OF PA RAIAMENT.
Yesterday being the day appointed for the
PRINCE REitENT closing the Sessioirdtpartiatisent,
arrangements were accordingly [vide for his Royal
Highness to exercise one of the most idmovtant acts
of Sovereignty. New gravel i►as laid from the
Horse Guards to the House of Peers at an early
hour fur the procession to pars on. It 6Anit twelie
months since a state procession of thiadescription
took place, considerable interest was excited.
The different guards niouuted tray .in white
gaiters—the King's, at St. Jameei Palace, with
the state colours, the 3d band in their state uni-
forms, &c. Detachments from the two regiments
of Life Guards were stationed in different parts of
St. James's Park ; the band of one near the Stable-
yard, and the other at the Horse Guards. The
colours of St. Martin's and St. Margaret's churches
were flying during the day, and the bells rang as
the Royal procession passed.
The PRINCE REGENT left Carlton House in his
private carriage between one and two o'clock, for
St. James's Palace. The Royal carriages to form
the procession consisted of the state carriage, with
the eight beautiful creams, decorated with lilac
rilibands, drove by Mr. ROBERTS, the state coach-
man, with fOtar others, three with sets of bays, and
one with blacks, decorated with ribbands. The
arrangements being ready for the Royal procession
td move, the Patrice REGENT proceeded through
the spacious suite of state rooms in the Palace to
the Court-yard• attended by—
His State Page, Meter Paget, the Page of Honour is
Waiting; the Gentlemen Ushers; General Bailey, as
Equerry; Lord George Beregoril, and Lord Cbu. BentincE,
the Comptroller and Treasurer of the Household; Earl of
Harrington, Gold Stick; the Lord Chamberlain ; Sir Wm.
Lumley, as Groom; Viscount Melbourne, Lord in Waiting;
■nd Sir William Keppel, as Master of the Robes.
The Duke of MONTROsE, as Master of the
Horse and an Officer of State, attended his Royal
Highness in the state carriage, carrying the Royal
Speech in *his hand. Viscount MELBOURNE also
rode in the slate carriage, as Lord in' Waiting.
The PRINCE REGENT wore regimentals, with his
numerous Orders, and we were happy to observe
appeared in most excellent health. The other
attendants rode in the carriages which preceded the
state carriage.
They were conducted by, besides the different
parties of the Life Guards, four Marshalmen, 21 of
the livery servants, 10 Yeomen of the Guard, and
four to the royal carriage, with TOWNSEND,
SAYERS, and a numerous assemblage of the police.
The PRINCE REGENT entered the state carriage at
25 minutes before two o'clock, when the Guards
presented arms, the colours grounded, and the baud
played God save the Kiag.
His Royal Highness entered the House of Peers
one minute before two o'clock, which was announc-
ed by a royal salute from cannon placed on the
Lambeth shore. His Royal Highness remained in
the House exactly twenty-six minutes. The pro-
cession returned to St. James's Palace in the same
order. His Royal Highness was cheered by the
populace as he went in his private carriage to the
Palace, and as he went and returned in the Royal
procession.

At an early hour the bustle in the streets leading
to the ilouse of Lords was considerable. At eleven
o'clock carriages tilled with elegantly-dressed fe-
males began to set down at the entrances of the
avenues to the different offices belonging to the
Mouse of Lords, and the greatest exertions were
made to obtain admission at that early hour. The
dresses of the Ladies who graced the ceremony in
the House of Peers, were extremely splendid, the
head-dresses were beautiful, and consisted chiefly
of plumes of white feathers springing from pearl
ornaments, which were elegantly placed. All the
windows in Whitehall and Parliament-street were
tilled•hy.spectaators. St. James's Park, and indeed
the whole line of the procession, was crowded by
perseni of, eSeiy description; the utmost order pre-
vailesi•—an occasional shout wee given at the ap-
propchof his Royal Highness, who acknowledged
the tribute by repeated übeysances. Nothing very
