MESSAGE FROM THE COMMONS.
Mr. 8r0....dr.', mid whets from the House of Coilinionr,
maimed the Nth fur Reversing the Art of Attainder of
Lord &lewd Fingered, the fklillhank Pinitentisry Pill,
nod aev.r it whir bills, to which the House of Cunigiont
bad *greed.
[The Ladies appeared highly gained at the forms
prescribed by usage to the Representatives of boil:
Houses of Parliament, in this comrnunirattots be.
tween them. The three bows of the Commons
(not always the most graceful imaginable) on re•
tiring from the bar, after the delivery of each mvs-
sage, and the necerwity imposed on the Lord Chan-
caller of welking from the %Voolsack to the bar,
between the presentation of each Bill, excited some
noisy merriment.]
Soon after two o'clock his Royal Highness Ole
Prioce Regent entered the House and it-eel:de-I
the throne. The crown was laid on the Prince's
chair of state, on the right hand of the throne,
behind the choir stood the Lord Chanctllor. His
Royal Highness gave orders to Sir Thomas Tyr.

after the Speaker, attended by a great hotly of the
Members, approached the bar, and toldresied the
Prince Regent. The great noise occatanned ,
the Members rushing into the House, prevented
us from hearing him for some minutes distinctly.
He informed his Royal Highness, that during tie
continuance of an unusually long and leboriousSr--
sinn, the House of Commons had directed its unre-
mitting attention to the internal affairs of the con
try, and more particularly to the state of the vireo-
!sting medium, and to the financial cosicerus. The
result of a painful inquiry into the state of the cur-
rency was a determination to revert to the ancient
metallic standard of the country, but by the adoption
of such means as would obviate the danger whir 4
might be expected to arise from a sudden alteration iis
the system. The House, in undertaking HIS inveiiti.
gallon of the finances of the country, carefully coin-
pared the expenditure with the revenue, and feeling
that the disposable surplus of revenue was not ad".
quate in its amount towards the attainment of the
great object to which it was applicable, namely, the
sesieetion of the national debt, resolved nil the ne-
cessity of iocreasing the revenue by the imposition
of taxes, so that there might be a diaposeble .ink-
ing fund of five millions. This has been efferteil,
but his Majesty's faithful Commons, in forming
this resolution, did not conceal front themselves
how severe was the sacrifice on the part of the pres-
de. They were encouraged, however, to proceed
in fulfiling their determination, front a confident
hope that a great and pertnaw.nt advantage would
result to the country from thus encountering its
financial difficulties, and placing them in such a
state as would enable her to maintain her public
credit and character for good faith, by which *lie
has ever been distinguished. The Right Hots.
Gentleman then presented the usual Bill for apply-
tug the sums therein mentioned to the public ser-
vice, to which he prayed his Majesty's Royal As-
sent.

The Royal Assent was then given, in the name
of his Majesty, 10 the Public Service A pproprilt
Bill, Lord Edward Fitzgerald's Attaitider-reversDl
Bill, the M;llbatilt Penitentiary Bill, and several
other Bills.

The PRINCE REGENT then spoke as follows :
" My Lords, and Gentlemen,
a It is with great regret that I am again obliged to an-
nounce to you the continuance of bin Majeay's lamented

" I cannot close this Session of Parliament without ex-
pressing the sati•factiou that 1 have derived from the zeal

" Gentlemen of the Horse of Commons,

of making any addition to the burdens of the people; but
I anticipate the must important permanent advantscm from
the effort which yon have thus made for welling at vac* ail
the financial difficulties of the country; sad I &live ninety

to excite a spirit of disaffection to the lastitutieus and Go.
