dawned, when the people were in motion—

to assemble about ten’o’clock, and from thence

By halfcarter

most eager expectation prevailed, but which 
in the end was totally disappointed ; for Sir

who was waiting for him, proceeded in his

having, however, confirmed the intetlizence, 
mingled expressions of surprise and indigna- 
tion burst from many of the crowd ; but the 
Jatter sentiment was short-lived; the pecple

judgment until an opportunity was afforded

was prorogued, by the following speech 
from the Throne: or ae 
“¢ My Lords and Gentlemen.—H{His Majesty 
has commanded us to acquaint you, that, as 
the public business is now concluded, he 
thinks it proper to put an end to the present 
session of Parliament. We are commanded 
by his Majesty to express the satisfaction 
he derived from the reduction of the island 
of Guadaloupe by his Majesty’s arms, an 
event which, for the first time in the history 
of the wars of Great. Britain, has wrested 
from France all her possessions in that quar- 
ter of the world; and which, together with 
the- subsequent capture of the only colonies 
in the West Indies which remained in the 
possession of the Dutch, has.deprived his 
Majesty’s enemies of every port in those seas, 
from which the interests of his Majesty, 
or the commerce of his subjects, can be 
molested. . 
“* Gentlemen of the House of» Commons. His” 
Majesty has commanded us.to thank: you.fer 
the liberal and ample supplies. which you 
yo 
have granted for the services,of the present 
His, Majesty deeply ‘regrets the i

necessary extent of the demands which those 
services have created ; but we are commanded ; &. 
to express to you the consolation which he — 
has derived from observing that the resources 
of the country, manifesting themselves by 
every mark of prosperity, by a revenue 
increasing in almost all its branches; and by 
acommerce extending itself in new channels, 
and with an increased vigour in proportion as 
the enemy has in vain attempted to destrow ' 
it, have enabled you to provide for theex- 
pences of the year without imposing the 
burden of any new taxation in Great Britain 5 
and that, while the taxes which have been 
necessarily resorted to for [reland, have been 
imposed. upon articles which will not inter- 
fere with the growing prosperity of that 
country, you have found it consistent with 
a due regard to its finances to diminish some 
of tmose burdens, and relax some of those 
regulations of revenue which had)been felt 
the most inconvenient in that part of the 
United Kingdom. His Majesty further come 
mands us to return you his thanks for the pro- 
vision which you have enabled him to make 
for the establishment of his Serene Highness 
the duke of Brunswick.
