On the 29th of July his Majefty put an 
end to the feffion of Parliament, by a 
fpeech from the throne. 
In adverting tothe Union Bill, he fays, 
€¢ Tris with peculiar fatisfaction I congra- 
tvlate you on the fuccefs of the fleps which 
you have taken for effecting an entire 
union between my kingdoms of Great 
Britain and Ireland. This great meafure, 
on which my wifhes have been long ear- 
neitly bent, I fha:l ever confider as the 
happiett event of my reign, being per- 
fuaded that nothing could fo effeétually 
Ae ee to extend to my Irith fubjects 
e full participation of the bleflings de-

{Sept. f, 
rived from the Britith conftitution, and to 
efablith on the moft folid foundation the 
rength, profperity, and power of the 
whole Empire.’ After returning thanks 
to the gentlemen of the Houfe of Com- 
mons for the zeal and liberality with 
which they have provided for the various 
exigencies of the public fervice; he in- 
fone them, that in the courfe of the 
campaign upon the continent, it had, bya 
fudden reverfe, difappointed the fanguine 
hopes which the fituation of affairs at its 
commencement, appeared fully to juftify, 
and had unhappily again expofed a con- 
fiderable part of Eurove to thofe calami- 
ties and dangers from which it had re- 
cently been refcued by the brilliant fuc- 
cefics of his allies. Much, however, as 
thefe events are to be regretied, it would 
always be a matter of jult fatisfaction to 
him to refie&t, that in the courfe of this 
bnportant conteft his efforts, and thofe 
-of his Pailiament, had been unremittingly 
employed for the maintenance of their 
ments and interefts.”” Ihe Lord Chaneel- 
lor then, by the command of his Majefty, 
announced that this Parliament would be 
prorogued to Tuefday the 7th day of Oc- 
tober next. 
Lord Whitworth, Jate ambaflador from 
this country to the court of Peterfburg, 
is returned to England, as is alfo Mr. 
Hailes, late Britifh Minifter at the court 
of Stockholm. Both thefe gentlemen, it 
is faid, have been difmifled abruptly by 
the fovereigns at whofe courts they re- 
fpectively refided ; and we have, at pre-~ 
ient, no diplomatic agent either in Ruffia 
er Sweden ; for Mr. Cafamajor, the per- 
{on appointed by the Britifh Government 
to act as Chargé d’ Affaires, in the abfence 
of Lord Whitworth, at the Imperial 
court of our late ally, was received by 
the Emperor in a manner the moft indif- 
ferent, and immediately after the audi- 
ence directed to take his departure from 
Ruflia in the courle of twelve hours. Nor 
was the treatment experienced by Mr. 
Hailes at Stockholm lefs difrefpeéttul 5 
for, if we may credit the accounts in the 
foreign journals, he was not permitted to 
take leave of the king, previous to his 
quitting that city, on his return to Eng- 
land.
