EUROPE.

SPAIN.-The King of Spain closed the Session of the Cortes on the 30th June, on which occasion, say the accounts, he was coldly received by his subjects; while the Deputies, after the ceremony, were greeted by the loudest and most enthusiastic acclamations. Recent accounts from Madrid, however, represent that city as tranquil, and the intelligence, from other parts of the Peninsula, state that peace and confidence have been generally restored. Merino's efforts to excite a civil war had proved unsuccessful; his followers were dispersed, and he himself had disappeared.

PORTUGAL. The King of Portugal landed at Lisbon, from the Brazils, on the 3d of July, and repaired with his Court in great pomp to the cathedral, where he heard Te Deum; after which religious service, his Majesty entered the hall of the Cortes, and solemnly swore to observe and maintain the fundamental principles of the free constitution decreed by the Cortes on the 9th of last May. On taking the oath, the King spontaneously added, "all this is true, and I swear with my whole heart." The Regency announced on the 4th, that they had laid down their functions, in consequence of his Majesty having assumed the reins of government. The Cortes then returned thanks to the members of the Regency for their conduct in the exercise of their important duties. Count Palmela, and others in the suite of the King, who were known to be hostile to the new system, had been ordered to retire into the interior. A new ministry had been appointed by his Majesty.

GERMANY.-Intelligence from Vienna states, that the Duke of Reichstadt (Young Napoleon) appeared in deep mourning, on the 20th July, at the palace of Schoenbrunn. When intelligence of the death of Buonaparte reached Baden, Prince Eugene and the Duchess Dowager Stephania of Baden caused the invitations which they had issued for that day to be countermanded, and immediately put on mourning.

TURKEY. The war between the Turks and Greeks, while it has hitherto led to no important results, presents a continued series of atrocities and vindictive barbarities on the part of the former, which have, in some instances, led to dreadful acts of retaliation by the latter. The massacres in Constantinople still continue in spite of the remonstrances of the Russian Ambassador. The wives and children of Christians have, it is said, been embarked in small vessels, to

VOL. IX.

the number of 150 or 200, which, at an appointed signal, were sunk to the bottom. Smyrna has also been the scene of terrible atrocities, and has been saved from complete destruction by the determined conduct of the European consols. At Sidonia, or, as it is called by the Turks, Ivalie, the Greeks rose upon their oppressors, and massacred several hundreds of Turks; but the latter, obtaining reinforcements, set the town on fire, and murdering all the males, carried the women and children into captivity. On the 15th or 16th of June, a Turkish fleet, which had passed through the Dardanelles to cruize in the Archipelago, was encountered by the Greek squadron off the island of Mytilene, and defeated; which had still farther exasperated the Turks at Constantinople, where the Greek houses were given up to pillage, the males massacred, and the women and children sold for slaves or assassinated. One hundred and fifty virgins, whose parents had been previously assassinated, and who were of the first Greek families, (amongst them were two Princesses, Murosi, and a Princess Maurojene, niece of the Turkish Charge d'Affaires at Vienna, lately recalled,) were abandoned to the brutality of the Turks in open bazaar, at the rate of a crown a-piece. The majority of these unfortunate young women perished in consequence of this frightful treatment.

The Russian Ambassador had repeatedly protested against these atrocities; but his remonstrances had been productive only of insult and contempt; and under these circumstances, a war between Russia and Turkey is supposed to be inevitable. The former power has, for some time past, been concentrating a strong military force on the Turkish frontier; and it is not indeed improbable that, while we are now writing, a war has been begun, the ultimate result of which will be the expulsion of this nation of semi-barbarians from Europe.

10th of June, which is said to have originated through the carelessness of a baker, and the amount of property destroyed was

very considerable, upwards of 60 houses being burned down.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-July 2.-The Earl of Darnley made his promised motion on the subject of the public expenditure, and endeavoured to show that reductions to the amount of two millions and a half might be effected in our present establishment. The Earl of Liverpool contended, that the Noble Lord had only shown one side of the picture, and that each proposed reduction, instead of producing a saving to its nominal amount, would do little more than create a load of dead expenditure to the country. His Lordship moved an amendment, containing a pledge of the earnest intention of his Majesty's government to carry retrenchment as far as may be consistent with the safety of the State and justice to individuals, which was agreed to nem. dis. The Earl of Liverpool afterwards stated, that not our silk manufactures alone, but all our branches of national industry, were now in a flourishing and prosperous condition. The Lord Chancellor pledged himself distinctly, that he will, early in the next Session of Parliament, introduce a bill for amending the present system of laws relating to bankrupts.

July 11.-From the 2d to this date, the House was busied in carrying through the bills that had been previously passed in the Commons, when it met for the purpose of being prorogued. At three o'clock their Lordships assembled, and shortly afterwards the Deputy Usher of the Black Rod was directed to summon the attendance of the other House.

The Speaker of the House of Commons, attended by a great many members, forthwith appeared, and having approached the bar, the royal assent was given by commission to the Duke of Clarence's annuity bill-the lotteries bill, the appropriation bill, and some other bills.

The following speech for the prorogation of parliament was then read by commis

sion:

"My Lords and Gentlemen, "We have it in command from his Majesty to inform you, that the state of public business having enabled him to dispense with your attendance in parliament, he has determined to put an end to this session.

"His Majesty, however, cannot close it without expressing his satisfaction at the zeal and assiduity with which you have prosecuted the laborious and important inquiries in which you have been engaged.

"He has observed, with particular pleasure, the facility with which the restoration of a metallic currency has been effected, by the authority given to the bank of England to commence its payments in cash at an earlier period than had been determined by the last Parliament.

"His Majesty has commanded us to acquaint you, that he continues to receive from foreign powers the strongest assurance of their friendly disposition towards this country.

"Gentlemen of the House of Commons, "We are commanded by his Majesty to return you his thanks for the provision which you have made for the public ser

"My Lords and Gentlemen,

"It is with the greatest satisfaction that his Majesty has observed the quiet and good order which continue to prevail in those parts of the country which were not long since in a state of agitation.

His Majesty deeply laments the distress to which the agricultural interests, in many parts of the kingdom, are still subject.

"It will be his Majesty's most anxious desire, by a strict attention to public economy, to do all that depends upon him for the relief of the country from its present difficulties; but you cannot fail to be sensible that the success of all efforts for this purpose will mainly depend upon the continuance of domestic tranquillity; and his Majesty confidently relies on your utmost exertions, in your several counties, in enforcing obedience to the laws, and in promoting harmony and concord amongst all descriptions of his Majesty's subjects."

A commission was then read for proroguing Parliament to Thursday the 20th day of September.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—July 2.—The

third reading of the Duke of Clarence's Annuity Bill afforded another opportunity for discussing the subject of the coronation, as connected with her Majesty's claim to share in that august ceremony. Mr Brougham and Mr Denman again entered into explanation, and defended themselves against the charge of delay in forwarding her Majesty's claims.-The Marquis of Londonderry incidentally made a communication of some interest on the subject, which was, that a memorial from the Queen had been presented, requesting to be heard by her counsel before the King in council, in support of her claim to be crowned with his Majesty. This memorial had been instantly submitted to his Majesty, who had been graciously pleased to direct, that as a matter of grace and favour, though not of right, the prayer of her Majesty's memorial should be granted. The Marquis of Londonderry distinctly stated his opinion to be, that the right of calling her Majesty rested with the Crown, and that his Majesty's confidential servants felt it their duty to advise his Majesty not to require her presence. The debate being resumed on the Duke of Clarence's Annuity Bill, Mr Bernal proposed an amendment for withholding the L. 18,000 of arrears, which was negatived by a majority of 61; the Bill was then passed and sent to the Lords.

3-The House adjourned for a week to allow time to the Lords to take up the business previous to the prorogation.

10.-Mr Hume presented a petition from Mr Jamieson, a writer in Edinburgh, complaining of the power exercised by the Court of Session in Scotland, of passing Acts of Sederunt, by which Acts of Parliament were ordered to be suspended. By this practice, the Hon. Gentleman observed, the law was made even more uncertain in Scotland than it was in England. Lord Binning considered that the Bench in

Scotland had great reason to complain of the conduct adopted by the Hon. Gentleman on this occasion, who having, as he said, had this petition for some time in his hands, had kept it back till the last day of the Session, when there was no one present who could answer the charge thus brought forward, and which must necessarily remain for some months uncontradicted. Mr Hume said, this was not the first time he had brought the subject forward; and he would give the Noble Lord an opportunity of defending the abuses in Scotland, and the conduct of the Lord President, in an early part of the next Session.

11. Mr Hume said, when he came down yesterday, he was not aware of the decision of the privy-council with regard to the Queen's coronation. We were now within eight days of the coronation, and no place had been assigned to her Majesty, the second person, and the first subject of the realm. Was it to be borne, that she, the only one of the family, should have no place; and, perhaps, should she attempt to obtain a view of the ceremony, she would be resisted by rude hands, and refused admission. It was to prevent this, and to afford his Majesty an opportunity of exercising his clemency towards this unfortunate woman, that he now took this course; (at this part, the approach of the Black Rod was recognized ;) that he would now move an humble address, praying his Majesty would be pleased to issue his royal proclamation, (here the Black Rod knocked at the door,) calling her Majesty to the coronation. The Deputy Usher here appeared, and summoned the members to the House of Peers. The Speaker and the members directly proceeded to the House of Peers, to hear the speech delivered by commission. The Speaker soon after returned, read the speech as usual, and the members separated.

JULY.

Account of the Coronation of King George IV For some time previous to the 19th inst., the day appointed for his Majesty's coronation, extensive preparations had been made in Westminster Hall and Abbey, for the celebration of this great national ceremony.

Westminster Hall, so well calculated to display the magnificence of the chivalrous festivals of the age in which it was erected, was fitted up in a style suitable to the occasion. Two tiers of spacious galleries were erected against the eastern and western walls of the Hall; over the principal entrance from Palace-yard an

orchestra was constructed in a style of architecture corresponding in design with the noble Gothic roof of the building. The throne was placed at the southern extremity of the building, and erected upon a spacious platform, which extended over the site lately occupied by the Courts of King's Bench and Chancery. The platform was ascended by three flights of steps, each ex tending across the Hall. The first and second from the area were covered with crimson cloth, and the upper flight immediately leading to the table, at the foot of the throne, was, as well as the floor itself, covered with a rich carpet. On the right of the throne, at the east end of the Hall,
