“I must particularly express the jujt Sense I entertain of the falutary and effectual Provisions which you made for strengthening 'the Means of National Defence; and the Measures adopted for obviating the Inconveniencies which were to be apprehended to Crea dit, from the temporary Suspension of Payments in Cash by the Bank; as well as of the Promotitude, Vigour, and Effect with which you afforded Me your Allistance and Support in suppressing the daring and treasonable Mutiny which broke out in a Part of My Fleet; and in counteracting fo d'angerous and pernicious an Example.

“ I have the Satisfaction to acquaint you, that, finie the Aiceffion of the present Emperor of Russia, the Cominercial Engagements between the two Countries have been renewed, in such a Manner as will, I doubt not, materially conduce to their mutual Interests.

« Gentlemen of the House of Cominons, " I must return you my particular Thanks for the liberal and extensive Provision which you have made for the various Exigen:ies of the Public Service, and while I lament the N: esity which increased them to fo large an dingunt, it is a Confolation to Me to obferve the Attention you employed in distributing the heavy Burides, which they occafionéd, in such a vower as to render their Press fure as little fevere as possible to My People.

“ My Lords and Gentlemen, « The Issue of the important Negotiation in which I am engaged is yet uncertain; biit, whatever may be the Event, nothing will have been wanting on My Part to bring it to a fucis ful Termination, on such Conditions as may be consistent with the Secu

rity, Honour, and effential Interejts of Vy Dominions. In the mean Time, nothing can lo much tend to forward the Attrinment of Peace, as the Continuan e of that Ziai, Exertion, and public Spirit, of which Aly Suljetts have givin such conspicuous and honourable Proofs, and of which the Perfeverance and Firmness of Parliament has afforded them [ftriking an Example." The Lord Chancellor, by his vlajesty's coinmand, then said:

“ My Lords and Gentlemen, " It is his Maj-sty's Royal will and pl asure that this Parliament be prorogued to Thursday the fifth day of October vext, to b: then here holden; and this Parliament is accordingly prorogued to Thursday the fifth day of October next.
