According to the report of the Morning Post, Sir Robert
Peel, in replying last night to a remark by Mr. Shell, said
" The right honourable gentleman said he presumed that the sole cause of the adjournment, instead of prorogation, was the position of the Irish State trials. I cannot say with truth that that is the sole cause ; because there are circumstances, to which I need not more particularly refer, which render the prorogation of Parliament at the present moment out of the question."
This mysterious allusion excites curiosity. The most °lesions interpretation is, that Queen Victoria desires to prorogue Parliament in person ; which she cannot do at present. Is that it ? Or does not the Premier like to let Parliament go until he shall have seen a little more distinctly what the French are going to be about?
