Mr. Sec.etary PEEL moved the Common' Adjourn-
ment, in consequence, we regret to say, of the indisposition of Mr.
CANNING, caused by the great exertions of the Right Honourable
Secretary, on the preceding evening. It was stated by Mr.
Secretary Pam., that the professional persons, who attended Mr.
were of opinion, that, in his present state of health,
,stry unnecessary effort or excitement should be avoided; but;
added the Right Hon. Gentleman, " Ills Right Hon. Friend,
anxious to state to the llou.e the grounds upon which his MA-
JESTY'S Gi.vernment had felt it their duty to adopt the line of po•
hey respecting Portugal, of which the House had been already in-
formed, twice, for the moment, his indisposition; and the conic-
quince was, that his Right Hon. Friendcould not with safety attend
it. his place that evening." There will be but one feeling throughout
the country uprn this circumstance; a feeling of unaffected regret
that the discharge of a great public duty should have been attended
with midi consequences-
