LONDON. June 25.-Parliament was
prorogued to-day.
My Lords and Gentlemen have
determined to release you from your
duties before the full accomplishment
o. the regular work Of the session in
order to ascertain the sense of my peo-
pie on the important proposal to estab-
lish a legislative body in Ireland for the
management Of Irish as distinguished
from imperial affairs. With this OBJ
ject it is my intention to Immediately
dissolve Parliament.
Il continue to happily maintain the
most friendly relation with foreign
Powers. have the satisfaction to ac-
quaint you with the fact that
the warlike operations of Servia
against Bulgaria have been brought
to a close through the wise counscls of
the powers and the forbearance OF the
Sultan, and also after period Of anx-
iety Of the adoption Of the pacific coun-
sells of Greece. The disarming of the
creek force, now in progress, has re-
moved serious danger to the peace of
the east of Europe. The state of affairs
in Egypt has improved. have been
enabled to materially reduce my force
in that country, and to bring it within
the southern limits Of Egypt proper. |
have concluded an arrangement with
Spain, which, if adopted by the Cortes,
will, trust, increase our commercial in
tercourse with Spain and also encourage
the importation of colonial wines. Ihave
felt lively pleasure in promoting the
exhibition of products, manufactures,
and art of my colonial and Indian do
mains, which is now being held in the
metropolis. feel that this enterprise
and the cordial interest the people exhibit
therein at once prove the sympathy
uniting the several portions of the en-
pire and powerfully tend to confirm and
promote that sympathy.
Gentlemen of the House Of Com
mons, thank you for the liberal sup.
plies you have provided to meet the ext
gencies of the public service until the
new Parliament shall have an opportu-.
nifty TO complete the amounts necessary
for the full service Of the year.
Ny Lords and Gentlemen, I have
with great satisfaction given my assent
10 the bill amending laws affecting
the Crofters, the bill efiecting impor-
tant reforms In the medical profession,
and the bill amending the law regard
ing the custody and guardianship Of
children. have given my consent to
the bill making such changes in the
law of international copyright as are
necessary to enable Great Britain to
enter the international Copyright
Union contemplated by the convention
about to be signed at Berne. In this
bill an opportunity is taken for con-
ferriDg upon Colonial and Indian au-
thors the benefits of copyright, which
shall be valid and uniform in every part
OF my dominions.
Finally, it is ny earnest prayer that
the Parliament about to be elected may
be so guided as to promote the peace,
happiness, and contentment of my peo-
pie, and the strength and union Of the
empire.
