ind assiduity wherewith you have applied yourselves
to the several objects which his Majesty recommended
so your attention at the opening...of the Session. •
His Majesty entertains a confident expectation
dat•th e provisions of internal regulation which you

aeried into effect, tend to remove some of the evils
which have so long afflicted that part of the United

orpena upon the firm but temperate exercise of those
powers which you have entrusted to his Majesty for
the suppression cf violence and outrage in that
coaurry, and for the protection of the lives and pro-
perties of hi: Majesty's loyal subjects.
It is with the greatest satisfaction that his Ma-
jesty is enabled to contemplate the flourishing con-
dition of all brandies of our Commerce and Manu-
factures, and the gradual abatement of those diffi-
culties under Which the Agricultural Interest has so
long and so severely suffered.

41 Gentlemen of the House of Commons,

We have it in command from his Majesty, to
thank you for the Supplies which you have granted
lathe service of the year ; and to assure you that
De has received the sincerest] pleasure from the
relief which you have been enabled to afford to his
People Ey a large reduction of taxes.
" My Lords and Gentlemen,
Ilis Majesty has commanded ns to inform you
that he continues to receive from all Foreign Powers
the strongest assurances of their friendly disposition
towards this Country.

Deeply as his Majesty still regrets the failure of
his earliest endeavours to prevent the interruption of
the peace of Europe, it affords him the greatest con-
solation that the principles upon which he has acted,'
and the policy which he has determined to pursue,
have been marked with your warm; and cordial con-
currence, as consonant with the interests, and satis-
iretory to the feelings, of his people."
At the conclusion of the Speech the LORD CHAr-

cruon said,
.4 My Lords and Gentlemen—l am commanded by
his Majesty, by virtue of a Commission under the
Great Seal, to us and other Lords directed, to de-
clare, that Parliament is Prorogued to Tuesday the
13th of September next."
The SPEAKtR and the Members of the House of
Commons then retired..

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
The SPEAKER entered the House a few minutes
before Two o'clock.

The Chaplain immediately proceeded to say
prayers, and being very much pressed for time, he
certainly van a most godly race."
He had scarcely concluded, when the Gentlenian
Usher of the Black Rod summoned the House to
attend in the Hotise of Peers to hear the Prorogation
of Parliament, by Commission. The SPEAKER, at-
tended by several Members, immediately proceeded
to the House of Lords.

The alterations made by the House of Lords in the
Bill fOr repealing the Spitalfields Acts were so great,
that it was scarcely known on being returned to the
Hoe of Commons last night, and certainly was not
recognized. There was no Member found disposed
to move the customary proposition, " that the House
do concur in their Lordships' Amendments." At last,
llr. CAI.CRAPT distinctly put it to Mr. HUSICISSONI
the father of the Bill, what he intended to do respect-
ing it? Mr. iluskissoN replied, that it certainly
was not his intention to move that the House should
concur in those Amendments, which, in fact, defeated
the Bill as sent from the Commons. No one else made
such motion, so that the Bill was, what is technically
termed, " dropped r it is thus lost, at least for the
present Session. Several Members of the Silkweavers
Committee, who were in the gallery, on learning the
fate of the Bill, communicated the news to the crowds
of weavers assembled about the House, who mani-
fested their joy in temperate exultation. When the
rews reached Spitalfields the bells of St. Matthew,
Bethnal-green, were immediately set ringing, and co-
lours were placed on the Church steeple. In the
evening an almost general illumination wok place ;
bonfires, and fire-works of various descriptions, were
let off, and several pieces of small cannon were fired
at intervals. The whole passed off with the greatest
order and decorum. Many convivial parties met,
and the health of the King, and several other toasts,
were drank with enthusiasm.

Theliritish Government, faithful to the neutrality
it has maintained during the whole of the negocia-
lions pre‘ious to the war between France and Spain,
as well As since its commencement, has refused to re-
tognie the Regency of Madrid, as it formerly refused
to acknowledge that of Urgel, and the other Authori-
ties which have successively assumed the Government
