ESPECIAL DISPATCHES TO THE GAZETTE.]
Propagation of ParIiament-The
Queens Speech.

LONDON. Aug. lO-Parliament was pro-
rogucd at 2 o'clock this afternoon. Shortly
before that hour the members of the House of
Commons were summoned to the Chamber OF
the Peers where the speech of the Queen, who
was not present, was read by the royal commis
siOner.
The first subject touched by the speech after
the announcement of pmroguing, is the contro-
versy over the American Indirect claims which,
the Queen rcioices to inform Parliament, has
been composed by spontaneous declaration OF
the arbtrators entirely consistent with the
views announced by Her Majesty at the open
ing of the session The Canadian Parliament
having passed acts necessary to give effect to
the treaty OF Washington within the dominion:
all arrangements contemplated by that instru-
ncnt are now in progress, and Her Majesty re-
fleets with satisfaction that the subjects with
which the treaty deals offer no longer impcdi-
mcnt to perfect concord between two kindred
nations. The formal notification from France
of the termination of the commercial treaty OF
1860 is mentioned, together with the fact that
the French government has indicated the de-
sire tor future correspondence on the subject
The conclusion of the extradtion treaty with
Germany is announced. The Queen declares
the determination of the government to take
steps for dealing more etfectually with the
slave trade on the East coast of Africa, The
usual acknowledg emcnts are rendered to the
Commons for the ample pecuuiary provision
made by them to meet the varying exigences
of the public service. The Queen reviews the
most Important measures adopted by Parlia-
ment during the session, and recouuts the
changes they are designed to effect and the i'm
provemeuts which must follow from them. The
tranquility and growing prosperity of Ireland
are favorably adverted to.
The Queen concludes as follows: "While l
cordially congratulate you on the activity of
trade and industry, hope it will be borne in
mind that periods of unusually rapid changes
in the prices Of commodities and in the value
of labor are likewise periods which more than
ever call for the exercise of moderation and
forcthought In bidding you farewell | ask
you to join with me in acknowledging the
abundant mcrcies Of Almighty God and implor-
ing their continuance.
