POSTPONEMENT OF THE PROROGATION.
The Prorogation of Parliament had been decidedly
fiazd by the Ministerial arrangements, to take place
this day, and up to a late hour in the forenoon all the
usual preparations were in progress for the PRINCE
RzGENT's going in person to prorogue the House. In
consequence, however, of what unexpectedly took
place in the House of Commons last night with re-
%vet to the Alien Bill, it has hien found indispensably
necessary to continue sitting for two or three days
longer, The circumstance which has occasioned this de-
lay, our Readers will see fully explained in our Parlia-
mentary Report. It will be recollected that a clause
was introduced into the Alien Bill by the Lords, in-
vzlidating the effect of an old Scotch law, by which
it was enacted, that the purchasers of Stock in
the Bank of Scotland, should be deemed naturalized.
The introduction of this clause being of a nature re.
lating to the money concerns of the subject, was last
night objected to in the Commons, as 'an infringe-
ment of tier peculiar privilege to originate all mo-
ney measures, and the &MAUR concurring in this
opinion, the amendment was accordingly unani-
mously rejected, and a conference appointed to be
held this day with the Lords on the subject.—
Ministers had thus no other alternative left, than
ei her to aband.in the measure of an Alien Bill alto-
geher until the meeting of a new Parliament, or to
postpone, as they have done, the Prorogation for a
few days longer, in order to give time to bring in
and carry through a new Bill.
It is expected in the Ministerial circles, that the
new Bill, whatever may be the opposition with which
it is met, will ix pushed through all its stages in
!louses, before Thursday next, so as to allow
the Prorogation to take place on that day, and the
Dissolution to appear in next Saturday's Gazette.
Our Readers will do us the justice to take note.
th-t: but for this unexpected interruption, the Proro-
gation by taking place to-day, would have happened
on the cxact day which we were the first, several
week's ago, to announce.
