HOUSE OF LORDS—THIS DAY.
The business of the Session having, with the excep-
tion of giving the Royal Assent to a few Bills, termi•
sated on Saturday, Parliament was this day prorogued-
by Commission.
At three o'clock, the Commissioners, in their robes,
took their seats ; when Sir TWOIEAS TYIWRITT, the
Usher of the Black Rod, was directed to require the at-
tendance of the Commons, in the House of Peers, in
order to hear the Royal commission read.
The Commons having accordingly appeared at the
Bar, his Mitautt's Speech, of which the following is a
correct copy. was then read by the Lona CSANCILLOR
"My Lords and Grodletwert.
16 We ST, commanded by his Ma.serrc to express to
yon the satisfaction which his MAJESTY feels in being
enabled, by the state of the public business, to release
yon from further attendance in Parliament.
“ His blc.raitz directs us to inform you that he con-1
thanes to receive from all Foreign Powers assurances
of their earnest desire to cultivate relations of friend.
ship with his MAJESTY, and that his MAJESTY'S
best efforts, as well as his MaJeors's communications
with his Allies, are unceasingly directed to the nomina-
tion of existing hostilities, and to the maintenance of
general peace.
" (16111k/flea of rie House of Commis,
44 His blatarrT commands us to thank you for the

.of the country with a view to every diminution of ex.
penditele which may be found consistent with the ne.
cessary demands of the public service, and with the per.

" My Lords and Gentlenron,
46 His MAJESTY is confident that yots participate with

Corn Laws have not led, during the present Session,
_ a permanent settlement of that important Ques.

went of it may finally be adopted, as shall satisfy the
easonable wishes, and reconcile the substantial inte-

By the Stammer packet, which arrived on the 29th
Alt. at Falmouth, Government have received dispatches
to the 17th June from Sir W. 4. cf. 111.03!, G.C.B.
commanding the British Army in Portugal, and from
the Commander of the British Naval force in the Tagpi:
By the same conveyance Papers and Letters to the
,7th inst. were received. The contents of the former
do not possess any great degree of interest, particularly
op the substance of them had been anticipated by us
throagh other channels. The private information, how.
ever, is of very considerable importance, as it announces
that, as the packet was on the point of sailing, intelli-
gerFe had been received from the Spanish frontier, that
eeeginsent n' Lancers, belonging to SARSTIBLD'S army,
bad been suddenly ordered to Madrid, in consequence,
it is said, of a quarrel between twn regiments of the
Guards lo that capital, respecting political affairs. Be..
`ides, it was confidently reported at Lisbon that the
great bolt; of the Spanish army was ripe for de..
mending a Constitution, and that it FiRDRIAND did
not ;Et speedily make some change in his Govern:
mint in favoer of liberal principles, there was every
probability that the Spanish people, backed by the
army, would takc the business into their own hands.
