After brief consideration, the King
decided upon dissolving Parliament in
person. This resolution was taken
at l2 o'clock, and such was the sud.
denness Of the determination, that
there was not sufficient time to make
the arrangements usual on such occa.
sions. His Majesty's characteristic
expression is said to be. If the car.
risge cannot be got ready, I will 60 in

be understood TO give as an idle ru-

majesty exclaim, If the long boat

was the rapidity with which this deci-
sion was carried into effect, that the
guards which were appointed to re-
ceive his Majesty at the doors Of Par
Lament, hardly arrived in time to save
appearances. None of the troops had
sufficient notice To enable them, as or

the royal cortegc was deficient in ma.

daring spirit than any Of which our
annals present in example, the House
Of Peers assumed the appearance OF a
disorganized popular assembly. In
the most unsettled periods Of our his.
tory, there can hardly be found such
an instance OF extraordinary and sud
den abandonment Of the dcliberatiye
character. The courtcsies Of society
were violated on oil sides. and person
aliIics, amounting almost 10 ruder
modes OF expression, passed amongst
the lords during the clamor. Instan-

communicated to us, which, hOwey

remarkable; but we are more accus.
