Parliament to be prorogued to October 26.

[Footnote 20: It appears from these dates that it was not yet understood that Parliament could not be prorogued for a longer period than forty days.]

The House was immediately prorogued after a session of only two months, not to meet again till January, 1865.

A decree of the council declared all the parliarnents prorogued until the formation of the great bailliecourts.

He next insisted that the Chambers, if prorogued without acting on the subject, should be reassembled at a period so early that their action on the treaty might be known in Washington prior to the meeting of Congress.

We expect to prorogue on Friday and dissolve on Saturday.

But on that same day Parliament was farther prorogued from the 16th of September till the 11th of November,[20] and it was not till after that prorogation, on the 24th of September, that the Order in Council was issued.
