The recent transactions in Spain and Italy have exhibite.: " new and striking pribel of the unbounded and unprincipled am • g' bition which actuates the eoatraou enemy of every establisher. 46 and it•dependent Nation in the world. " His Majesty views with the liveliest interest, the loyal and ac detet mined Writ manifested by the Spanish Nation, in re sisting the violence and perfidy with which their dearest rights 46 have been nssailed. ' 4 The Spanish nation, thus nobly struggling against the t'- " ranuy and usurpation of France, can no longer be consideri " as the enemy of Great Britain ; but is recognized by his,,;Nia " jest.. as a ti.:tural Friend and Ally. 66 We are commanded to inform you that his Majesty has re " ceivA communications from several of the provinces of Spain, " soliciting the aid of his Majesty. The Answer of his Majesty *' to these communications has been received in Spain, with " every demonstration of those sentiments of confidence and af " fection which are c,ngealal to the feelings and true interest of " both nations ; his: Majesty commands us to assure you, 46 that he will coi:tinue to make every exertion in his power " for the support of the Spanish 'catNe : guided in the choice " and in the direction of his exertions by the wishes of those in 46 whose behalf they are employed. . . 44 In contributing to the success of this just and glorious cause, 44 his Majesty has no other object than that of preserving Intim " pared the integrity and ind:Tendence of the Spanish Nlo -44 starchy. But he trusts that the same etibrts which are directed g 4 to that great object may, under the blessing of Divine Provi " deuce, lead in their eTects, anti by their example, to the 46 restoration of the liberties and the peace of Europe." The Commission for proroguing the Parliament being then read, the Lord Chancellor addressed both Houses as follows : " MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, " By virtue of his Majesty's Commission to us and to other " Noble Lords directed, and now read, we do in his Majesty's " Dame, and in obedience to his commands, prorogue this pre " seat Parliament to Wednesday, the 20th day of August next, ac to be tben here hcidcn and this Parliament is accordingly 6 ‘ prorogued to Wednesday, the 20th day of Aug ust next." The Coalitions having withdrawn, their Lord ships soon after separated. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY, JVLY 4._ 11r. W.

AFFAIRS OF SPAIN. Ma. WHITHRE4D rose and said, he had waited to the very last moment that an opportunity could be allowed him, in anxious hope and expectation that his Majesty's Ministers would, in some shape or other, have endeavoured to produce from that House some declaration of its sentiments with regard to the interesting affairs of the Spanish nation, under the know ledge of those important circumstances which had recently trans pired; and he felt some surprise that no such endeavour was made before the moment destined for the separation of Parlia ment. Upon a former night, when the situation of Spain was in some degree urged upon the consideration of the Hot 1., he was the person foremost to deprecate discussion on the subject, and the reason was, because it bad not then been known that the Spanish nation had, with any thing like a general senti ment, declared against the proceedings of the French Govern ment towards their country ; in which case, discussion in that House might expose the Spaniards to the danger of new and ac cumulated severities and oppressions. Things had since, how ever, taken a new turn : the Spanish nation had nehly and generally declared its determination to resist the tyrannical en croachments of France, and had flown to arms for the purpose. Sincerely did he pray that God might send them success; and this be was sure was the devout and earnest wish, not onl . . civilized world ; ane as the intention of his unanimous desire of rt w hich the resources should be given to the and glorious struggle. - throughout this country, but through the he had not theliOutA .

He did hope, however, that after the recent letter addressed by Ihe Noble Lord opposite to him to the Lord Mayor of London on the subject of Spanish affairs, that his Majesty's Chancello; of the Exchequer would, re this, have come down to the p: House to call for a Vote of Credit mould his Majesty i n t h e sup port of Spain ; and he was sure if he had done so, L would have met the chearful and unanimous acquiescenc e o f toe Il onse who would havejoined in the declaration of their oarmest probation of a purpose in is hich every I;ritbh subject must h.el :• lively interest. It was now, however, too late, and t h e :souse must for the present only regret the privation of tin op portunity of declaring their hearty approbation of a purpose, hich opened one more prospect of the salvation of Europe; !int he could not suffer the prorogation to take place without e pressing his sentiments on the subject; and having done so, he ished not nny farther to detain the House, than by expressing .lis firm conviction, that io expressing his own sentiments, he had declared the unanimous sense of Parliament, and of the country at large. Loan C4STLEREAGH said, the sentiments just expressed by the Hon. Gentleman, were not only congenial to the feelings of his Majesty's Ministers, but, he was confident, to the unanimous feelings of that House, and of every man in the county. With regard to the regret expressed by the Hon. Gentleman that 111i nisters did not come down to the House to clai m.from Parliament some expression of its sentiments on this subject, he thought it would have been rather premature in them so to have dace, be fore circumstances were ripe for a cu-operation, in which he relied with confidence for the ready concurrence and support of both Houses; that they had not come down to claim a Vote of Credit, because they felt no want of ample means to pursue measures of effective aid to the Spanish •nation. At a future time they might find it necessary to apply to the liberality of Parliament, both for aid and counsel, in pursuit of those mea, sures, in which they were about to embark with energy, and he hoped with effect. He could, however, assure the Hon. Gentle man, and the House, of the determination of his Majesty's Go vernment, that no exertion which could he made, ror any effort which the strength and resources of this country could furni;h, should he wantio:7 to the support of the Spanish nation. A Message v. now brought down from the Lords, by Mr. Quartile, Deputy Black Rod, desiring the attendance of the II:)use in the house of Peers, to hear his Majesty's Commission read for declaring the Royal assent to certain Bills, and for pro roguing the present Parliament. 1111.. Speaker, tionerously attended, went forthwith up, an d ! being returned. read to the Members a Copy of his Nlajesty s Speech, proroguing both Houses : immediately after which the Members separated.

We have to state, upon unquestionable authority, that on the `3d of last month. some men, women, and children, assembled about a mile from Newry, to dance round a bonfire, as is customary on St. John's Eve; when in the enjoyment of their old and harmless amuse inent, the poor people were attacked by a number of ?men, ;!rmed with muskets and bayonets; one young nixi was killed, and others severely wounded. There was a per,ou a rrested at Cie time, charged with taking an active part in this shock ing outrage, but the assailants attacked the house in a hick he was secured, and were in the act of burning it until he was set at liberty."
