The Queen having quilted Osborne House
for Ireland, on the LIST instant, the Parliament
was prorogued by commission. The speech
delivered at the close, contains nothing very
novel. ~. -.
The inhabitants of Cork, Dublin. and Bel
fast, are making the most active preparations
to give loyal reception TO the Queen, and
political feelings are almost forgotten in the
general excitement which prevails.
In Ireland, the grand theme of comment re-
lates to the Queens visit The proclamation
of the Lord Mayor of Dublin, for general IL
Elimination in that city, is much censured by
all parties therein. Of it, the Freeman's Jour-
nal says Dublin throws herself, not upon
her knees to her majesty, but on her face
She spreads not her cloak on the mire, for her
majesty 10 walk over, but gives herself to be
the gangway Proud be the step of Majesty
as she iramples on her, and naughty her tread
as she spurns her. So will she best fulfill the
wishes of subjects of Dublin, as these wishes
are represented by the Lord Mayor and the
Corporation, who have neither dared TO init
mate that they had any memory of the past,
any sense of the present, or any hope for the
future, save only that Royalty might shine
and shed blessings on them"
The Irishman of this day, August 4, on the
same subject. is very caustic, and cuts up the
affair in a most unmerciful manner The Colk
Corporation have refused to issue proclama-
ton for illuminating that city.
FTance-The President of France is on a
tour to the South On his return to Paris he
is to review the whole of the army of the
Seine, amounting to $4,000 men. The spec
tacle is fixed for The 18th of August
There seems to be every prospect OF a most
abundant harvest In some departments the
wheat has already been cut, under the most
favorable circumstances.
The funds also are on the advance, so that
national prosperity seems 10 be within the
grasp of the government.
The President is still accused of aspiring to
the imperial crown.
Hafy-AIthough the French have restored
the Government of the Pope at Rome, they
have not succeeded in persuadng his Holiness
10 return to the Vatican.
The Milan Gazette of the I'd, states that
rumor was current on the Neapolitan frontier,

sort of safeguard or watchword.

Lisbon on the 28th of July.
Gen. Oudinot has been at Gata, IN the hope
of modifying the intentions of his Holiness,
but with what effect has not been announced.
The Austro- Piedmont treaty is not yet set
tied, nor, from appearances, is it likely TO be
at present, if at all. On conserving 10 the pay
ment of seventy five millions of indemnity
money, the Piedmontese Government further
insists upon amnesty being granted 10 the
Lombards, the Venetans, and to the inhabi-
tants of Parma and Placentia, which Austria
peremptorily refused TO comply with, Both
parties have expressed their determination TO
make no concessions, and it is said that, I'M
der the circumstances, Sardinia has demanded
the support of France.
Hungarian War.-The Hungarians con-
tinue successful. They have defeated and
out-maneuvred the combined armies, placing
the Austrians in peril, and cutting off the Rus
slams from their base of operations
The three grand divisions OF the Hungarian
army, under BEN, Dembinski, and Georgey,
are in full communication with each other,
and ready to act in concert-their respective
positions being rendered secure by the nature
of the country. The whole population are
assisting the Hungarians by buying them food,
horses, &C., and giving intelligence OF the en-
emy's movements.
The London News of the Sd, contains vi
emma dates 10 the 28th July. Lord Palmer
ston's speech fell like thunder-cIap upon the
Ministers The news of Georgey's victory
over the Russians at Coasser, and his entry
into Rostham, came at the same time. There
were rumors even of the Austrian Generals
having instructions to negotiate for peace
It's reported that Sonora has surrendered
to the Magyars Ban Jellachich was contin-
uing his retreat to the South OF Seryia. Cen

gary through Paris and Vienna, announces
another battle at Ezlaw, in which the Hunga-
rians were victorious.
1t appears that the troops of Dembinski and
Paskiewitch, came to an engagement which
