The British Parliament was prorogued 1
on the 23d, hy the King in person—a ce- J
remony which lias not occurred before *
since the demise of George HI. The !
pageant Os the roynl procession to St. '
Stephens, was brilliant and animated.— •'
llis Majesty entered the House of Lords (
and ascended the throne punctually at 2 *
o'clock. The Duke of Sussex and the 1
young King of Wirtemberg accoinpani- 1
ed his Majesty on this occasion. The f
Duke of Wellington, who rode up in his *
usual morning dress, attended hy a sin- 1
glc servant, about live minutes before 1
two, was loudly cheered by the people, J
and soemod to share in the popularity of .
his Royal Master. The King was dress- 1
ed in a full naval uniform, over which he 1
wore his robes of State. The King was 4
attended by the Duke of Wellington, the ‘
Earl Marshal, (he Lord Chancellor, the 1
Lord Chamberlain, and the other H'gli 1
Officers of State. 4
Immediately after Jus Majesty had ta ‘
ken his seat on the Throne, the Usher of 4
the Black Rod was sent to command the 6
attendance of the Commons, and in a *
few minutes after the Speaker appeared
in liis full official costume, attended by 1
many Members of the Lower House, at 4
the Bar, nnd addressed his Majesty at
some length, expressing the loyalty of 4
the Commons, and their late parliamen
tary proceedings. 1
llis Majesty then addressed the Lords f
and Commons, in the following Speech: 1
“My Lords and Gentlemen, 1
“On this first oesassion of meeting f
you, I am desirous of repeating to you, 1
in person, my cordial thanks for those I
assurances of sincere sympathy and as- 1
ftrowfelr awv Sl&fcf nKaitv*
fectionate attachment which you con-*
veyed to me on the demise of my lamen
ted Brother and on my accession to the
Throne of my ancestors.
“I ascend the Throne with a deep
sense of tho sacred duties which devolve
upon me—with a firm reliance on the af
fection of my faithful subjects, and an
humble and earnest prayer to Almighty
God, that He will prosper my anxious
endeavors to promote the happiness of a
free nnd loyal people.
“ It is with the utmost satisfaction that
1 find myself enabled to congratulate you
upon the general tranquility of Europe.
This tranquility It will he the subject of
my endeavors to preserve; and the assu
rances which I receive from my allies,
and from All Foreign Powers, are dicta
ted in a similar spirit.
“ I trust that the good understanding
which prevails upon subjects of common
interest, and the deep concern which
every State must have in maintaining the
peace of the world, will ensure the satis
factory settlement of those matters which
still remain to be finally arranged.
“ Gentlemen of the House of Commons,
“ I thunk you for the Supplies which
you have granted nnd for the provision
which you have made lor several branch
es of the public service, during that port
of the present year which must elapse
before a new parliament can be assem
bled. I cordially congratulate you on
the diminution which has taken place
in the expenditure of the country, on the
redaction ofthe charge ofthe public debt,
and on the repeal of some of those taxes
which have heretofore pressed heavily
upon them.
‘•You may rely upon my prudent and
economical administration of the sup
plies which you have placed at my dis
posal, and upon my readiness to concur
in every diminution of the public charge
which can be efiected, consistently with
the dignity of the Crown, the mainte
nance of national faith, and the perma
nent interests ofthe country.
' ‘ J/y Lords and Gentlemen,
“I cannot put an end to this session ami
take my leave of the present Parliament
without expressing my cordial thanks
for the zeal which you have manifested
on so many occasions for the welfare of
my people.
“You have wisely availed yourself of
the happy opportunity of general peace
and internal repose, calmly to review
many of the laws and judicial establish
ments of the country, and you have ap
plied such cautious and well-considered
reforms as are-consistent with the ; spirit
of our venerable institutions, and are
calculated lo facilitate and expedite the
administration of justice.
“You have removed the civil disquali
fications which affected numerous and
important classes of my people.
“While I declare, on this solemn oc
easion, my fixed intention to maintain to
the utmost of my power the Protestant
Reformed Religion established by law.
let me at the same time express my ear
nest hope 1 hut the animosities which have
prevailed on account of Religious dis
tinctions may be forgotten, and that the
decision of Parliament,, with respect to
these distinctions, having been irrevoca
bly pronounced, my faithful subjects will
unite with me in ad vancing the great ob
ject contemplated by the legislature, und
in promoting that spirit of domestic
concord and peace which constitutes the
surest basis of our national strength and
happiness.”
At the conclusion of the speech the
Lord Chancellor proceeded to prorogue
the Parliament in His Majesty's name.

the FRENCH AT ALGIERS.
La Cassalba, July 8.
‘ Prince—The taking of Algiers seem
ed necessarily to lend to the submission
to nil parts of the Regency. The more
the Turkish soldiery was feared, the more
has its prompt destruction raised in the
minds of the Africans the power of the
French army. The soldiers themselves
set the example of obedience. In each
ol their barracks a few soldiers have suf
ficed to disarm them. At the first order
they received, all have brought their
muskets, and their yntagans to the place
appointed. It has been intimated to them
that the fhtaers Ot families would be per
mitted to remain at Algiers, but that the
unmarried men would be conveyed by
sea to whatever place they should choose.
I Ins decision appeared to make but little
impression upon them. Most of them
Blt> natives ot Asia Minor, ami have re
quested to he taken there The number
of soldiers connected in tho barracks is
about two thousand five hundred. These
are all unmarried; many of them arc
old and unfit for military service. The
bravest and the most robust have perish
ed in the late campaign. The married
soldiers, are lodged in private houses:
their number does not seem to bo above
1000. For the last throe years the block
ademade it almost impossible to obtain re
cruits. A considerable reduction in the
strenght of the military force was the
consequence.
The Dey came yesterday lo see mo at
La Cnssuubo. He expressed a desire to
go and settle at Leghorn. Admiral Du
pderre is taking measures that the un
married Turks may be embarked almost
at the same time. The Moors and the
Jews look for their departure With im
patience. Then, and not before, will
they think their yoke forever broken.
- “The Bey of Titery has been the first
- to perceive that it was impossible for him
» to Continue the struggle. The day after
that on which the French troops took
> possession of Algiers, his don who is
j hardly 16 years old, came to inform that
- he was ready to submit, and that if 1 a
i greed to it he would come to me himself.
- This young envoy acquitted himself of
j his mission with a simplicity like that of
t the sages of antiquity. I delivered to
him a sate conduct to ids father, who on
t the following day came to Algiers. I
i have Jell him at the head of the govern
. meat of his province on condition of his
f paying to us the same tribute as to the
- Dey . The condition was accepted with
, gratitude. The inhabitants appear to be
. convinced that the Boys of Oran and
Cnnstnntina will speedily follow the ex
- ample of the Bey of Titery.”
i “Confidence already begins to return,
i Many shops are opened. The mar
■ kets are supplied with provisions.—
The prices are higher than in ordinary
i times; bu*. competition will soon put an
end to lhi« momentary dearness. I have
intrusted the direction of the police
i to M. d’Atbignose, a Frenchman who
i has long resided in the East. A commis
sion of which M. Denice, the Chief In
( tendant is President, has been charged
to point oat the modifications which the
. late events render necessary in the ad
i ministration and form of government.—
■ Gen. Tholose has been appointed com
■ mandant of the place. His firm und hon
, orabie character render him peculiarly
i j -roper for this impotant post.
“The line cf communication beginning
at ‘"•idi FeiTuch will soon be useless, and
1 henceforward the supplies ol the army
will be sent-to the port of Algiers. This
will produce a great saving in the ear
• riage. In a lew days the redoubts which
■ had been erected between fcsidi-Ferruch
i and the camp of the besieging army, will
be dismantled. Lastly, the depot itself
will lie abandoned immediately after the
hospitals have been transferred to ano
ther place., and the provisions there cither
consumed or embarked.
“Orders have already been given to
send back to France the material of the
artillery which had not been landed.—
' The train of artillery employed in the
seige remains almost entire. We have
’ found here an immense quantity of pow
der, cannon balls, Ac. and above 2,000
pieces of cannon, almost all of bronze. —
The value of these articles, that-of iron
belonging to the government, and, above
all, that ofthe treasure, of which the Pay
master general is taking an inventory,
seems to be sufficient to pay a great por
tion ofthe expenses ofthe war.
“All the French prisoners who were at
Algiers, were delivered to me on the slh,
in the morning before the French troops
took possession of the place.
“The heat has been very great for some
days past. Several times Reaumur’s
thermometer has been at 23 degrees.
Though the seige continued only six
days, the activity with which the works
were carried on has caused the troops to
sustain great fatigues. Dysentaries are
becoming more frequent, but those who
are attacked by them are not so ill as to
quit their corps. We have hardly 250
fever patients in the army. The num
bers of nu n put hors de combat since the
14th, is 2,300; 400 are dead: 1,900 woun
ded have been sent to the hospitals.
Here as in Egypt, they soon recover,
'lostof the fathers of these who have
shed their blood for the country and the
king, will be more fortunate than 1 am.
...y second son bad received a severe
wound in the battle, of the 24th.—When
1 had the honor to inform your Excel
lency of this, I was full of hopes of pre
serving him; this hope has been deceiv
ed; he bus just expired. The army loses
a brave soldier. I lament an excellent
son. I beg your Excellency to tell the
King, that though struck by this family
misfortune, I shall fulfil, with no less vi
gor, the sacred duties which his confi
dence imposes upon me. I have the
honor lo be, &c.

Among the captives delivered at the
taking ol' Algiers, there were some who
had been nearly 30 years in captivity.

THUNDER STORM.
On Saturday evening last, an angry
cloud, of most portentous aspect, was
seen rising in the north west from this
place. The violence ofthe storm contin
ued about fifty minutes, when it gradual
ly passed oil' to the South. A larger
quantity of rain fell during the same time,
than during the whole season before.
We have heard of no serious effects from
the storm. The lightning struck in this
place the stable of Mr. George \V. Shaw,
and the kitchen of Mr. William Bearing,
but fortunately did but little damage.
We have had a summer of inipreoe
dont drought. The memory of our el
dest inhabitants cannot refer to its like
within their recollections. The scarcity
of water had indeed, in some places, be
come alarming. Many springs never
known to fail before, had become ex
hausted, and branches;, creeks, and oven
rivers had dried np. The Ogcechee,
near its head waters, we arc informed
was as dry as a wagon road. Cattle
were carried in some instances two or
throe miles to a watering place. Sever
al ofthe wells of our town had gone dry,
and from most others it was difficult to
obtain a sufficiency of water for the or
dinary purposes of life.— Athenian, ’ithinit.
VALUABLE HORSE.
Mr. George A. Wyllie, of Virginia, who
came passenger in the ship William
Byrnes, Captain HaCkstaff, arrived at
New-York, from Liverpool, has brought
with him the celebrated race horse
Leviathan, purchased in England, for
Janies Jackson, Esq. of Alabama This
I beautiful animal was formerly owned by
' the late King, and recently by the Earl of
Chesterfield, and was allowed, in Eng
land, to be the most valuable stud horse
in the Kingdom.
The present King of Great Britain is
the only European monarch who has
trod American ground.—The Lord Chan
cellor of England (Lord Lydhurst,) IVom
whom the present King ofEngland re
ceived his oath to office; and the beauti
ful and accomplished Marchioness of
Wellesley, who has been appointed First
Lady of the Bed Chamber of the British
(.|ueen Adalaide, are both Americans;
one a native of Boston, the other of Bal
timore.
— QQf) ■ ■
from the Camden Journal August 48.
We agree perfectly with the Richmond
Enquirer in its views in relation to the
importance of the next Presidential Elec
tion. If there ever has been n time since
the formation of our government when
the selection of an individual to fill itsfirst
office assumed an imposing importance,
that time is the present. What would be
the state of things were Henry Clay Pre
sident of the U. S. at tills time' Wrought
into an exasperation little short of actual
willingness to stake our rights upon the
issue of physical force, w hat would in
vert that calamity were a man so obnox
ious and so justly obnoxious as Mr. Clay,
at the bead of this government! The
Union would not, and could not lie pre
served in its integrity one month! Nor
could there in our belief be any chance
for its preservation should Henry Clay
go into the Presidential Chair two years
hence. We are indulging in no random
speculations; we are expressing opinions
grounded Upon some knowledge ofSouth -
ren temper, and upon reflection maturely
and considerately made. If a majority
of the people of the United States, reck
less of our feelings. and disregardful of the
consequences, can be brought to a trial of
the experiment, can so far forget the in
terests of this great nation and the princi
ples which ought to govern its career, as
to place this man at its head, the result
will prove us trueprophets! The election
of Henry Clay to the Presidency would
be,signing the death warrant of our Na
tional integrity, would be the opening
chant of Federal dissolution.- So far then
from the indifference which some of our
brethren feel, or uflect to feel in relation
to the individual who .will next be raised
to the chief magistracy of this Union, we
never felt a deeper solicitude; nor did it
ever behoove our citizens to be more a
liveto the high importance of this mo
mentous question.

WEST INDIA TRADE.
The New-York Evening Post, of Mom
duy, contains the following paragraph,
which places this subject in the proper
tight.
“The West India Trade.— The Phila
delphia papers contain a letter from this
city, written on Saturday, in which the
writer announces us a fact, information
of which had been received here, that the
poi-tu of the British West Indies are open
to our flag. The statement we believe
strictly taken, is erroneous; the ports had
not been opened at the time of the sailing
of the last packet, but from information
in our possession in which we place eve
ry confidence, we are enabled to stale
that the British Ministry had determined
upon opening the ports to our Hag. The
next arrival will probably bring intelli
gence of the execution of the treaty.”
The following extracts from tho Al
bion, a British Paper published in Ncw-
Y r ork, and strenuously opposed to the
opening of the West India ports to onr
commerce, leaves np room to doubt that
the next arrivals will bring a confirma
tion of this desirable intelligence.
“It lias boon recently stated, and upon
the bestjauthority, that the Agent for New
Brunswick, in London, Mr. Bliss, had
communicated to his friends in that pro
vince, his apprehension that the ports
would be opened in September next.—
We have also in our possession private
information in relation to Mr. McLant s
negotiations, which lead ns to the same
conclusion. Under all these circumstan
ces, we should bo warding in duty to our
colonial friends, if we did not distinctly
intimate to them that the chances of this
trr.de remaining closed are materially
diminished,”
Important to the Tobacco trade.— . The N.
York Mercantile Advertiser says;—“We
learn by letters from Paris, that the Con
cows for Tobacco, (on sale by tender to
the French Government,) is abolished. —
The letters further state, that the Regie,
having its full supplies of Virginia To
baccos for 1831, none will be w anted be
fore 1832. This had been antipated from
a previous official communication recom
mending to the French merchants not
to import Tobacco with a view of selling
it to the Regie.”— Baltimore Jlmerican.

mngham, in Edgefield District. From this spec,l,s
the utility of fibgging mmiufiietured from our Southern
Staple, we should suppose there can be no doubt, ut lead
of the equality, if not the superiority of the article w
Hemp Bagging j and if it can be introduced into comm,*
use, there needs no argument w shew the vast kiicm
that would he derived, hy Uic Cotton Planter, from tho
great additional consumption of the main product of his
lal-or, in supplying the dcinund for so heavy and exte tt .
sive au article of commerce. That this will be the cu.-s
ultimately, there can be no doubt; but people are always
slow to adopt new customs, and it will requires,,me „i
erted energy and public spirit on the part of the South,m
Hamer, to bring it into general use in any reasonable
Ume, The sooner it is done, the better. And can th,*
so deeply interested, want encouragement to uitivdua’t,
custom so vastly beneficial to them 7
The Colton above-mentioned, was grown on the plan
tation ofCol. Paul Fitttimru ; and from the excellence
the Bagging, 4. the beautiful manner in which it is packoV
it fbrms one of the handsomest lots we ever saw cr
probably ever brought to the city. Except oue I,ale,
which was packed round, as a specimen of the utility of
such Bagging in that us well uathc square mod« of pack Inc,
ills oil in square packages, and exhibits an extraordinary
neatness, compactness, uniformity of size, 4c. Tim
Bagging, though packed exceedingly tight and close, has
not stretched or given at all, us might have been expeep
Od i but exhibits as much evenness of surface as couU
have been produced with (be best Hemp Bagging. Thu
is the same w ith the round bale as wild the squait one-,
notwithstanding that the former contains 3W pounds iu
five yards of Bagging -, and that the packers have not beta
ut all used lo packing round botes-CU. Fiiz.-draon* lav
ing always packed in square bales, altogether.
The Iflumers who visit our city, should make a point
♦f examining this lot of Cotton; and after doing so, and
jcfleeting on the gfcat benefit to be derived from (biiuw
"ig the example, We think they will be in4ncc-l, (hr tl«,
luturc, to adopt the same kind of baggi-jg_ fV en though,
for a short time, they may necessarily l* suljtctcd lo »
Imle more trouble and cost in obtaining it.
