PROROGATION OF PARLIAMENT.

The Lords Commissioners of His MAJusry's
Treasury assembled this day, and the Loup
CHANCELLOR delivered the Royal Speech on the
termination of the Session of Parliament, of which
the following is a correct and literal copy
Mg Lords and Gentlemen,

" Th e Business of the Session being now
brought to a conclusion, we are commanded by
His MAJ [STY to express the great satisfaction

vilnch lie feels in releasing you from your labo-
rious attendance in Parliament.

" His MAJESTY returns you his wannest ac-
knowledgments for the zeal and assiduity with
which you have prosecuted the inquiries into
the state of Ireland, which he, recommend-
ed to you at the opening of the Session.
" It is a particular gratification to Ills
J E,T Y that the tranquillity and improved condi-
tion Of that part of the United Kingdom have
rendered the extraordinary powers, with which
you had invested His MAJESTY, no longer neces-

sary for the public safety.
" 'l,t.rr.s.ry is happy to be able to an-
nounce to you, that he receives from all Foreign
Powers the strongest assurances of their friendly
disposition towards this country, and of their de-
sire to maintain the General Peace.
" While hi IS MAJESTY regrets the continu-
ance of the War in the East Indies ‘vith the
Burmese Government, lie trusts that the gallant
exertions of the British and Native Forces,'
employed in'Operations in the Enemy's Terri-
tory, may lead to a speedy and satisfactory ter-
mination of the Contest.

" Gentlemen of the House of Commons;

" We have it in command from His MAJESTY
to thank you for the Supplies which you have
grnotcd to Him for the Service of the present
Year, and at the same Lime to etpress the satis-
faction which he derives from the reduction you
have found it practicable to make in the bur.
thens of His People.
" My Lords and Gentlemen,

64 His NIA.I!3TY }MS commanded us to ussuie

you, that be is highly sensible of the advantages
which must result from the measures you have
adopted in the course of this Session, for extend-
ing the Commerce of His Subjects by the remoNal
of unnecessary and inconvenient restrictions, and

for the beneficial relaxations which you have
deemed it expedient to introduce into the Colo-

ial Sys+ern of this Country.
" These mensurvs, lii RIAJE3TY i 9 pPrStlatied,

will evince to his Subjects in those distant pos-
sessions, the solicitude with which Parliament
watches over their welfare; they tend to cement
and consolidate the interests of the Colonies with
those of the Mother Country, and his MAJESTY
confidently trusts, that they will contribute to
promote that general and increasing prosperity,
on which His MAJESTY had the happiness of
congratulating you on the Opening of the present
Session, and which, by the blessing of Providence,
continues to pervade every part of ills Kingdom."

Our Readers will perceive that the case of
the Deccan Army was last night again agitated
in the House of Commons, and received the at-
tention which its extraordinary circumstances
and singular hardship - deserve. One incident,
riot the least remarkable in the course of tile pro-
ceedings, excited considerable surprise, and may
welt serve us a specimen of the injudicious zeal
with which the Trustees are defended. It was
confessed by Colonel LUSHINGTON, who on Fri-
day presented a petition in favour of the existing
state Of affairs, purporting to be signed by four
Officers of the Deccan Army, that the name of
Colonel NOBLE had been attached to the docu-
ment without his knowledge, from a presumption
that he would have signed it if he had been in
London ! By this strange proceeding, the. violent
and indiscriminating partisans of the Trustees
have proclaimed to the world, first, that they
thought it of extreme importance to proctire sig-
natures to the Petition among the officers, and,
second, that with all the exertion which such a
feeling would instigate, they could only prevail
on THREE to sanction their attempt. Surely,-
when the reputation and the influence of the
Duke of WELLINGTON are considered, and the
interest SN hiCil the captors individually have
to secure his favour, such a fact is conclu-
sive evidence of the feeling which pervades
all ranks of the Army on the subject of the Prize.
Well may the Duke of WELLitioToN, who has
shewn himself so able to subdue his enemies,
pray to be saved from his friends! On the other
side two Petitions were presented of a very dif-
ferent Character. The first wasfromSir Ev Msc.
cattuoonovho spontaneously came forward toVindi-
elite the Law Agent from the insinuation conVeyed
in Sir JOHN MALCOLM'S Petition, that he desired
to involve the Army in Law, and which he dis-
tinctly and indignantly repelled. The other
Petition was from the Law Agent, Mr.. ATCHE•
sosr, who felt called on to lay before the House,
a complete history of the proceedings, in order.
to strew that lie had no interest in encouraging
litigation ; that he had from the moment when
the claims of the army were recognized, de-.
precated litigation ; that all his measures
were taken under the advice of eminent Coun-
sel ; and that he had bestowed unwearied labour,
and made costly sacrifices, solely from the
desire to obtain justice for those who had corn-
nutted their , cause to his hands. 'These objects
lie has triumphantly effected ; and his Petition
will be read with deep interest, not only as a
complete vindication of his own conduct, but as
,throwing strong light on the case of the expect-
ant and suffering army.

The Paris Journals of Sunday are barren of
I►olitical intelligence. Some of them are occupied
Kith re►narks on the late law for the Conversion
of the Itentes. The 'Minister indeed seems to have
underrated the difficulties attendant on such a
measure, and intent only on the desire of reduc-
ing the public expenditure, never considered

how far Elia state of the money market would
assist him in the attainment of his object. A
forced conversion was not attempted, and if an
alternative was given, it was but natural to suppose
the Capitalists would employ their money in
the way that afforded the highest and surest pro-
fits. Hence then it became a necessary prelimi-
nary to the success of a measure for the conversion
of the Reines from 5 to 3 per cent. that the in-
terest of money in the market should have fallen
in a corresponding degree,• an event, however,
the Government did not:await, and to this cir-
cumstance we may trace the difficulties and hos-
tility the measure has encountered.
The Greek war also furnishes a subject for
disputation, especially as it appears that num-
bers of French military officers are in the ser-
vice of the Paella of EGYPT, and are still al-
lowed to retain their French commissions and to
receive their half pay. The Liberal Journals
thence infer (but unjustly as it should seem)
that die Ministry is tinfavotirable to Greek free-
,
(Awn. Extracts will be found in another c6lunitt.

The German Mail of this day has brought us
Frankfort Papers to the 19th June, but they
contain little intelligence of moment.—They
say that the activity lately observed in Com-
merce was merely the result of speculation, and
has now abated.
