The galleries, although spacious, can scarcely hold the crowd of spectators. The first row of the upper gal leries is reserved for Ladies : the men stand behind.— The Peers of France and the Deputies occupy the two ranges of covered benches at the bottom of the hall, viz. the Peers on the right of the throne, and the De puties on the left. Between the places reserved for them and the gallery appropriated to the Foreign Mi nisters, are 1.5 or 20 covered seats, into which Ladies alone are admitted. All the members of the foreign legations accredited at the French Court are collected together in the Fo reign Ministers' Gallery. The spectators, after having spent two hours in ex pectation, at length beheld the members of the first bo dies of the State arrive. Towards half-past twelve an usher stationed at the extremity of the hall, in a loud voice announced " the Chamber of Peers," and immediately the French Peers, irt their state robes, entered the hall, with the Lord Chancellor of France in his violet gown, and the Grand Refetendary, the Marquis of Lemonville, at their head. " The Chamber of Deputies" was announced and in troduced in its turn. The deputies were preceded by their ushers and State messengers; the President (by age) and T. 5 members composing the deputation. • All the Deputies, even those of the most distant de partrnentF, a:e already at their post. Never was seen so full an assemblage at a royal sitting. Atbne o'clock a salute of artillery announced the de parture of his Majesty from the Tuileries. The King traversed the great gallery of the Louvre, and passing through the Apollo Gallery arrived in an antechamber, where he re , eived the grand derration of the Chamber of Peers and that of the Deputies. The procession immediately moved forward ; the heralds at arms, and the guards de la Manche, clad in their gold and silver tunics, and armed with halberds, were ranged along the estrade of the throne. Their Royal Highnesses the Dauphiness, Madame Duchess of Berry, and the Princess of Orleans, took their places in the special gallery, with the ladies of their suite. To the left of the throne were the Digrihals of France, and a deputation of the Ministers and Councillors of State appointed by his Majesty. On the upper covered bench were placed the Lord Chancellor of France, the Count de Villele, President of the Council, the Count de Peyronnet, Keeper of the Seals, the Baron de Damas, Minister for Foreign Affairs, the Ccunt de Corbiere, Minister of the Interior, the Marquis de Clermont- Tonnere, Minister at War, the Count de Chabrol, Minister of the Marine, and the Duke de Doudeauville, Minister of theßoyal Household. • The Marquis de Di eaux- Breze, Grand Master of the Ceremonies, and the Prince de Talleyrand, Grand Chamberlain, remained in front of their seats, the for mer on the right, and the latter- on the left of the Throne. The most lively acclamations greeted the entrance of his Majesty. Cries of " Long live the King !" " Long live the Dauphin !" " Long live the Bourbons !" re sounded over and over again. The Peers of France, the Deputies, and the specta tors, remained standing. His Majesty took his place on the Throne, having the Dauphin and his Royal Highless the Doke of Orleans on his right, and the Duke de Bourbon on his left. Tire King was attired in Royai state costume, and the Princes wore Peers' robes. Tux KING.-.-" My Lords; be seated." Tnr CnANcet.r.oa.—" Gentlemen Deputies, the Kirg permits you to be seated." This was the first time that the King formally ap peared i a public clothed with the insignia of royalty; it was the first time that iris voice was heard in an As sembly ; and his presence, as well as his words, pro duced an inconceivable effect. As soon as he made his appearance, a general movement, more expressive than all the acclamations, was displayed through the whole Hall, and immediately followed by a burst of plaudits mingled with reiterated cries of " Long live the King r When his Majesty commenced speaking, the most pro found silence prevailed in an instant; whilst, with a strong and sonorous voice, he pronounced the follow i.-g speech: " GEYTLEMEN—The first wish of my heart is to speak to you of my grief and yours. We have losta wise and good King—tenderly beloved by his family, venerated by his people, honoured and respected by foreign Go •e4 nments. glory which the nation has acquired under hi?. reign n ill never be effaced. Not only has he restored the Crown, but he has consolidated it by insti tutions which, comprehending and uniting the past and the present, have rest' red to France tranquillity and happiness. " The affecting sorrow which tl,e whole nation felt in the hut moments 4.f the King, my brother, was to me the most soothing consolation ; amid I say it with truth, tl•at it is to that alone I ant indebted for having 'bee:: able fully to enjoy the confidence with which my acct-ssiiin to the Throne has been hailed. " Titi, confidence, Gentlemen, will not be lost. I know all the duties of Royalty.

" I announce to you with pleasure, that the disposi tions of foreign Governments have 'tin undergr , ne any orange : they leave no doubt of the preservation of the friendiy relations that exist between them and rue. " The spirit of conciliation and peu.ience which ani mates them, gives to nations the strongest guarantees they have ever had, to check the scourges which have so lung desolated them. fA I s ehall neglect 'lathing to maintain this happy aireetuent, and the peace which is the consequence of it.

" The just security which we derive from our exter nal relations will favour the developement of our inter nal prosperity. I will second, Gentlemen, these salu tary movements, by causing those ameliorations which the interests of religion require to be successively pro posed to you. " The King, my brother, experienced great consola tion in procuring the means to close the last wounds of the Revolution. The moment is come to execute the wise plans which he had conceived. The situation of our finances will permit us to accomplish this great act of justice and of policy without augmenting the taxes, —without cramping the different parts of the pub lic service. ' " For these results we are indebted to the order esta blished by your concurrence, to the fortune of the State, to the peace which we enjoy. I entertain the firm conviction that you will enter into my views, and that this act of reparation will be performed with a great harmony of will between my. people and myself.—Avec un grand accord de volonte, cube mon peuple et moi.) 14 I intend that the solemnity of my coronation shall ( terminate the fist Session of my reign. You will be present at that august ceremony, and in the presence of Iltxt who judges Nations and Kings, I will take the oath to main the institutions granted (octroyees) by my brother. " I thank DIVINE PROVIDENCE for having deigned to make use of me to repair the last mi sfortunes of my people, and I conjure it to protect this beautiful France, which I am proud of governing." The tone in which these words were pronounced in creased the effect which they would otherwise have pro duced, and the acclamations which followed them were as lively and as energetic as those which preceded the King's entrance. The Peers who took the oaths, as administered by the Chancellor, are four in number—MM. de Brancas de' Malleville; de Villele Archbishop of Bourges; de Cha bons, Bishop of Amiens; an Dalman de Chatelier, Bishop of Evreux. . ThsMinister of the Interior administered the oaths in the Chamber of Deputies • the members who took them are—MM. Dupont de l'Eure, L'Abbe de Pom pieres, Burosse, Delpit, de Courtivion, de Fougieres, Ilennesy, and Knopf. To-morrow there will be a public sitting of the Cham ber for the formation of provisional bureaux, the veri fication of the powers of the newly elected Deputies, and the nomination of candidates for the Presidency, and of Secretaries. FROM THE MONITEUR or WEDNEIDAY. The official part contains a Royal Ordonnance, of which the following is the preamble: CEIAALZI, &C. " Considering that almost all the theatres in the departments have been for some years in a state of decay, that a great number of cities have made vain efforts to support these theatres, and that managers have impaired their fortunes ; " Considering that the dramatic art is interested in the prospe rity of the ptoVincial theatres, since they afford to young actors, with the advantages of gradual instruction, all the means to make themselves known, and to attain one d.y engsgemeots itt the Royal 'theatres ; " Desiring to favour the progress of an art which has always been cultivated in France with success, and to enable the managers to have in our cities better companies of actors; " Considering the necessity of organising the theatres of our de partments on new bases ; " On the report of our Minister Secretary of State ef the Inte rior, we have ordained, and ordain, as follows: (The regulations, in 28 articles, fellow.) OCT. 12 —This being the anniversary of his Majesty's birth, and of his proclamation as Emperor of Brazil, a salute of 101 guns was fired, at sunrise, by all the for tresses arid the vessels in the harbour. At 10 o'clock, all the troops were drawn up in the square, under the command of the Governor• General, Senhor Joaquim Xavier Curado ; and at 11, their Imperial Majesties arrived, with a numerous retinue, at the Palace do Campo. After The parade, their Majesties and suite attended a solemn Te Deum in the Imperial Chapel. They afterwards received the congratulations of the Diplomatic'Body, and a vast number of persons of distinction. • In the afternoon, their Majesties went to the country seat of Seignor Christovao. Wherever their Majesties passed, they were received with the most joyful accla mations ; flowers were thrown on them from the win dows ; the streets, too, were strewed with flowers; and the fronts of the houses adorned with hangings. OCTOBER 30.—The letters brought by the Born Suc cesso, arrived to-day from Lisbon, refutes all the re ports that have been spread relative to that kingdom. The Portuguese squadron was all dismantled, and no preparations were making for an expedition to Brazil. A Buenos Ayres Mail arrived this morning, with ac counts from Pernambuco of the 4th of October, from Bahia of the 11th October, and Rio de Janeiroyf the 3d of November, but they possess little interest. In a preceding column we have given the Speech of the King of FRRNCE, on opening the first Session of the two Chambers, since his accession to the throne. Those politicians who expected it would unravel some mystery, or contain some revelation of a policy hitherto doubtful, will be disappointed. His MAJESTY commences with - toxpressing his grief at the death of Louts XVIII. and then declares his determination to discharge the duties of royalty with courage and firmness. CHARLES X. next states, that the dispositions of foreign Governments have undergone no change, and that' there is no doubt of the friendly relations that+ exist being preserved. The protracted occupation t.,f Spain by a part of the French army, is called a tem porary measure, 41 calculated to conciliate the interests of the two Monarchs." His MAJMY then alludes to the indemnity to the emigrants, which he says will be done without augmenting the taxes ; and the speech concludes with announcing the Coronation at the end of the Session. Our Correspondent in Paris states, that although there is nothing remarkable in the speech, yet the funds had fallen 60 centimes. at ,my Son plpyed . ia tke allowed trade in a4av ale,thpitschas Freschtian ordetti tie Board e pf Conwneice, l'iapt i • •;,Btekto burst of ac- te nd t h e requ i s ite on* the finis . r . !o . condition of , reign 'Affairs, C .

We have lately conversed with a Gentleman well acquainted with that country, who gives it as his opinion that the whites Imust have been the original transgressors. • By the arrival of a Brazil Mail, we have received a fiie of the Diario Fluminense, from the 20th September to 2d November inclusive.
