Parliament, as we announced in our laft, was pro-
rogued yenerday in the ufual way followed of late
years, by a c,,mmiffion and a fpeech delivered by the
Loan CHANCELLOR in the name of the KING. The
Proclamation announcing the Diff lotion, is expelled
to appear in the Gazette of this evening.
This event has taken place snore fuddenly than
was expelled. It was very generally underfic.od that
Minifiefs v.:fhed to make an eatly appeal to the peo-
ple, but it was equally well known that his Muerte
was for iitme time averfe to the meafure, and that
the idea had been in cnnfequence abandirned.—
Thule who, Cr' m tlotir lunation and conneflinns,
ought to he informed on fuch a fubjell, area, that
when at laft refolved on, the meafure proceeded en-
tirely, and without folicitatinn from his MAJESTY,
who came to town on pnrpofe, and ordered the Conn
cil to be fummoned, which on Saturday evening de
tided on the lips to be taken.
It is afferted on ore hand that this meafure has
been halleued from a with to fkop the proceedings of
the Committee of Finance, which would have led to
the arraignment of (owe perfons high in rank and
ofEce.—On the other hand it is afferted that this
could not be the veafnn for the difolution, becanfe
this event does not deflrny the evidence, which Rill
continues upon record ; and it will be in the power
of the new Patlisment again to tertian the inqnirys

On the one band, it is affirmed, that the Members
of the Committee being in the Houfe, and the Chair-
man ready to prerent the Report, which would only
have required a few minutes time, the appearance of
the TT:her of the Black Rod, to common the Com-
mons to attend in the Houfe Pecrs, at that critical
montent, was the Ore& of management.—On the
other, it is *fretted, that Clough h had the t fee to
prevent the report :torn beinx prefented, it was the
refult not of difign or of management, but merely of
accident.

We can form no opinion on this point. but what-
ever may be the fat), we believe there will be found
few well-willters to their country, whi will not feel
tome regret that matters were not lo managed as to
allow fo interelling a repot t to make its appearance ;
for the cortetlion of altufes ought never to be a fillet.-
tion of party, nor is it eafy to fee that Mininers could
have any motive for preventing a report of the nature
of that alluded tu, from being received by Parliament.

A report prevailed in the City ycllerday afternoon,
that a Cartel had arrived from• France, bringing a
pacific overture froft) BONAPAII.Th. This was fo con•
fluently alleged, that for a time it produced a mate
vial rife the Funds. These was, however, no fuch
arrival, but part of the contents of the difpAtches
received from Lot! HUTCHINSON, on Thurfday ball,
had traofpired, and gave rife to the rumour. It was
Bated iu the difpatches alluded to that a pacific over-
ture had been received from Bosararrs—by the
Emperor of Ruffs and King of Pruffia—which
both tefufed to liften to, without Great Britain
being • included in the negotiation. Repi)rt adds,
but we know not with what truth, that NAPOLEON,
after fume helitation, had agreed to the propofcd
fiipulation.—lt was alfo rumoured yellerday, that
an armillice had taken place in Poland, but we believe
no fuch account► have been received.

Sir ARTHUR PAGAT will go to Conllantinnple in
the Cambrian ft igate.
We yenerday received American papers to the 2 t It
ult. the following ate the only articles they contain.
‘, It is tiated that the moat ferious .apprehentions
are entertained by the Americans to a Rupture with
the Bey of Tuni►.
A paragraph is given in the Cotantercial Aelvertifir
of the r6tl4, (striated from the Norfoli ( America)
