The King held a Council at St. James's Palace on Wednesday, and prorogued Parliament from the 20th of October to the 6th of December next.
Lord Lyndhurst is gone to Paris ; where Sir Robert Peel is now sojourning, and where it is said a congress of wise men will be held, to consult together on the means of resisting the Movement. Lyndhurst will, we suppose, be taken as the representative of the English Tories, having both the head to devise and the band to execute. Peel may be useful to him, however, in Paris as in London.
Lyndhurst's arrival was not at first very pleasing to Lady Peel, for it announced a disappointment. The Paris correspondent of the aurier tells the anecdote to which we refer " During a soir6e given by Lady Peel a few evening ago, the arrival of a courier from England was announced. Oh l' exclaimed her Ladyship, starting from her seat, this is a message from the King, recalling my dear Sir Robert.' Lord Lyndhurst had just entered the saloon, and undeceived her Ladyship, and fetched a sigh. A Frenchman who was present assured me that he never witnessed a more extraordinarychange than took place in Lady Peel's features on
hearing it. C'etait bien tragique, je vous assure.'"
