HOUSE OF LORDS, TUESDAY, JUNE 23.
About a quarter before three o'clock, the LORD
CHANCELLOR and feveral Peers attended, and nuttily
after Prayers (by the Junior Bi(hop) were read, Lord
ELDON (Chancellor). and the Earl of AvLesvoan,
and Lord WALSINONAM, as his Majetly's Commit•
lioners, took their Seats in their Robes on the Bench

in front of the Throne.
Mr. Q.DARESI (A ling Mier of the Black Rod)
en was thdeputed to defire the attendance of the
Commons • who forthwith, with Mr. Aasorr, their
newly chofen Speaker at their head, appeared at the
Bar. The SPEAKER was fupported on the right by
Mr. YORKE, and on the left by Mr. BAKKE!.
On his arrival at the Bar, Mr. Assory addreffed
the Lords Corm:amen nearly to the following
effea :
es My LORDS—The Commons of the United King-
dom of Great Britain and Ireland, in Parliament
affembled, have, in obedience to his Majefty's direc
tions, and according to their ancient and efiablinted
right, proceeded to the choice of a Speaker, and it
now becomes my duty to acquaint your Lordlitips,
that their choice has once more fallen on me.
• In humbly fubmitting that elation for his Ma-
jelly's Royal acceptation, I have the fatisfaelion to
reflect, that in the event of its being his Majefty's
Rcyal pleafure to difellow the choice of his faithful
Commons, they will find no difficulty in finding
among them many with greater qualifications, and
far more capable of difcharging the important duties
Gf the high office to which I have been elated, more
to the fatisfaaion of his Majefty's faithful Coinmons,
and to the advantage of his fubjeas at large."
Lord ELDON (Chancellor).—" Mr. Abbott, his
Majefty has commanded us to Rate to you. that be
is lo perfealy fatisfied of your ample competence.
and of your fufficiently tried ability to execute the
great and important duties of the high office to which
you have been repeatedly called—that his Majefty
fully allows and approves of the choice of a Speaker
made by his Majefty's faithful Commons—and ac-
cordingly he has commanded us to inform you, he
allows of and confirms their choice."
Mr. SPEAKER. then faid—" Since his Majefty
has been gracioufly pleated to allow and to confirm
the choice of a Speaker made by his faithful Com
mons, it is my duty, with all humility, and to the
utmoft of my power, to bow down to, and to endea-
your to fulfil the duties of thatoppointment in which
his Majefly's royal grace and favour has confirmed
me, and to acknowledge the fame with the moll
profound gratitude. I have now, my Lords, in the
name and on the behalf of his Majefty's faithful
Commons, humbly to lay their claim for the full and
free exercife of all their ancient rights and privileges,
efpecially the freedom from arra, and all other
moleflation of :heir perfons, fervants, and eliates—
freedom of fpeeck and debate=free accels to his
Majefly's Royal Perfon, as occafion may require—
and, that all their proceedings do receive from his
Majcfly the moll favourable conftruaion. For my-
fclf I have only to pray, that any errors I may
commit in-the execution of that arduous and impor-
tant office in which I have been confirmed, may be
imputed to rnyfelf alone, and not tonfidered as attri•
butable to his Majefty's faithful Commons."
Lord ELDON (Chancellor) replied to the follow-
ing cilia Mr. SPEAKIR, we ate commanded by
his Majefty to fay, that his Majefty is to well con•
vinced of the prudence, temper, moderation, and
affeaion of his faithful Commons, that he molt freely
allows and confirms all their rights and privileges,
in as full and ample a manner as the fame have been
heretofore fanaioned by his Majefty and his Royal
Predeceffors. As to what you have Paid, Mr.
Speaker, concerning yourfelf, your former conduit
in the Ration in which you have been jolt confirmed.,
affords the cleareft evidence that you will not Rand
in need of thofe allowances to which you advert.—,
But, for your further encouragement and fupport in
the executiort of the important will you have been
appointed to fulfil, we have to add, that his Maeßy,
in his royal goodnefs, will always put the molt fa-
vourable conftruaion upon your own official con-
duff."
The SPEAKER then bowed, and retired with the
Members, who were very numerous, to the Lower
Houle, and the Lords Commiffioners withdrew to
unrebe.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
The Hosfe met this day, at three o'clock, and
foon afterwards, Mr. %tame, the Deputy Ulber of
the Black Road, appeared at the Table, and addref
fed tit. Speaker, who at that time took the Chair, as
follows
" Mr. Speaker, the Lords, authorised by virtue of his Wei Ty's
Coututilaoe difire the attendance.of tbh Houoarabk Houle, at
The Isar of the Houfe of Lois's."
The SPBAKEIL, accompanied by the Members pre
fent, accordingly attended Paid fummons, and, on his
return, he addreffed the Houfe as follows -
"46 I have to acquaint the Houfe, that I have been
in the Houk of Lords, where his Majelty, by his
Royal Commiffion, has been gracioufly pleated to

elellion they have made of me humble their Speaker
and that I there laid claim, by petition to his
Majeny, for all our ancient and undoubted rights,
in regard to the privileges of this Houfe ; and more
efpecially, fafety from arreft and all moleftation for
the Members of this Houfe, and their fervants ;
freedom of fplech in debate ; and that all our pro
ceedings may receive the molt favourable conftruc-

granting to this Houle the whole of thefe privileges,
as folly, and in as ample a manner, as ever done by
any of his Royal predeceffors. And now, Gentle-
men, placed in: this Chair, by the favour of the.
Houk, for the fourth time, I have to repeat my
humble and heartfelt acknowledgments to you for

fibly receive. In my endeavours to execute this troll,
I mull entreat the continual affiftance of the Houle,
in fupport of its own honour and authority, and for
maintaining order in its proceedings ; affuring you,
at the fame time, that it is my purpofe to ad, in all
matters of bufinefs, with the Meted delicacy, and
impartiality, and the otrooft regularity and difpatch.
I have only now to remind the Houfe, that the firft
thing to be done, upon the prefent occafion, is, for
the Members to take the neceffary and anal oaths of
fupremacy, abjuration, and qualification;as by law
required."
The Honfe was accordingly fo occupied during the
remainder of the fitting.—Adjourned till to-morrow.

No frefh intelligence of any kind has been received
this day from the Continent. Some French papers,
a day later than thofe we announced yelterday,
have come to hand, but their contents are of no im-
pOrtance.
We underhand that by the !aft accounts received
by Government from Lord Hyatt( mom, it appears
that both the French and Ruffian armies are fo
ftrongly entrenched, that which ever may firft pre.
fume to attack the other may count upon a certain
defeat. In fuch circumftances what is to be done.
The French it is thought will endeavour to draw
out the Ruffians, by undertaking another important
liege. Nepotism by the double contingent voted
to him by the Confederation of the Rhine, expeas to
be able to (pare men for any fervice of this kind
without weakening his main army. It is the opinion
of many politicians that the preterit hate of things
will probably lead to Come negotiation—a little time
will Chew with what truth.
