Paris Papers of Thursday and Friday have since our last. were enabled by an express on Saturday to befOre oar Readers an exact copy of the Kinci's on opening the Session of the two Chambers Thursday. This ceremony took plans, uOt as with House of the Peers, but,in the Hall of the of the Commons. A Deputation of twelve , and another of twenty.five Deputies of De partments, received his PdAs.resTe on his arrival.-- Kulp, on taking his seat on the throne, had on right Mousteue, on his left the Duke of Bemis. bake of ORLEANS occupied the place on the next to Moseteue. To the right and left, at. distance of a few steps from the threat, were the President of the Council, the Secretaries and Mini- State, a number of Marshals, Chevaliers of Orders of St. Louis and the Legion of Honour, ' CounciLlors of State, Masters of Requests, and other of State. The Peers were placed on the the circular enclosure on the right of the and the Deputies of Departments on the seats _ on the left. The Duchesses of BRUIT and Oautetta, and Mademoiselle OILLTANS, occupied-a • in front of the throne. the Kum had finished delivering his Speech, . said to have made a most profound impres on all present, M. Lux:, the Minister of the In- read the form of the oath to be taken by the Deputies of the second series lately renewed by the Electoral Colleges, which was conceived in. these I swear to be faithful to the Kum. to obey Constitutional Charter and the Laws of the King and to conduct myself, at all times, as becomes ' and loyal Deputy." Each of the new Depu _ the number of fifty-two, on being called upon, answered from his place, standing, and holding up band, I swear it." • the moment when the Marquis de la FAYLTTZ take the oath, the Journals remark, thin was a general buzz of curiosity throughout Hall. the ceremony of swcar:ng in the new Mem. being concluded, the CHANCELLOR announced §ession of the Chambers of %era and Depu the year 1818, was opened, and that both Chambers would meet on Monday (to -day), to pro ' with business. MAJESTY then descended from the Throne and the Hall in the midst of the universal accla of the Assembly. _ae terms of the king's speech, on which ourlimits precluded us from offering any remarks on Saturday, general such as might have bees expected from existing circumstances of France, and the course an obvious policy prescribes to the restored dy- The departure of the foreign troops from the frontiers, forms, 6f course, a primary subject of affec. congratulation to the French people, and oc taken from it to bestow a tribute of well praise on the heroic resignation of the inla• of those provinces, which sustained the im burden of the occupation. Now that this epoch has arrived, his MAJESTY announces a Resolution which he had delayed to execute until entire liberation of his territory—namely, that solemnly crowned in the midst of his people, tendering, in the face of Heaven, the oath he has already taken to confirm and maintain litutions flowing from the Charter, and to pre. the rights, both of Sovereign and of people, inimpaired. In making this announcement, his MA. • has descended to make use of a parody upon iptural expression, which rather surprises us, considering the character he has obtained for piety, iudgment, and classical taste it is undoubt , unfortunate exception to the general character speech : shall take to witness," he says, " the GOD by Kings reign—the Goa of CLoyts, of CHARLI - of ST.

We do not object to such a caution, because undoubtedly the love of liberty has more than once degenerated merely into a love of power ; but it viere to have been wished that his Majesty had also alluded, which he might have done with equal justice, to those who, ander tha mask of royalism, have committed the most abominable excesses, and have net scrupled to assert, that the Charter, and all the privileges possessed by the people, ought to be abolished. His IVlassary, towards the conclusion, regrets that he cannot propose a diminution of the public bur dens; but the bounds of the debts ate said to be fixed, and its reduction by the Sinking Fund to be rapid and unquestionable. The first project, it is said, which will be submitted to the Chambers, will be a provisionary law upon the Finances, in order to maintain, during the first months of 1819, the existing imposts, until the Budget for the year is presented, discussed, and voted. The Duke of RICHELIEU has, we learn, been for some days seriously indisposed. A private letter from La Fleche, in the Depart ment of the Sarthe, states, that a revolt had taken place among the scholars of the military school of that place. The boys proceeded to acts of violence, but were quelled by the stout arm of a single Pro fessor, who put the ringleader into the black hole. The S per Cents. have suffered another very consi derable decline—on Wednesday they left off at 67 fr. 40 c.: on Thursday at 65 fr. 70 c. Among the foreign notices in the papers now re ceived, the most important is that of the death of the Grand Duke of BADEN on the Bth instant. Intelligence from Madrid of the 26th ult. mentions that M. ZEA, at present Ambassador to the Court of Russia, was to succeed the Marquis •de Irmo. as Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, the latter having expressed a wish to retire. Some diplo matic changes are also talked of. The Private Letter to-day of our C9rrespondent at Paris states, that it is generally understood that such is the difference of opinion existing among the Mini stry, that the form of a Speech could not be agreed upon by them, and that it was left to his MAJESTY himself to draw it up as he pleased. A Dutch Mail has brought us this forenoon Papers to the 12th instant. The following are extracts: BRUSSELS, DECEMBER 9. On the 4th the Duke of Ar.gouleme reviewed at Lille, the Garrison and the National Guard, amount ing together to 10,000 men. The Duke spoke in the most affectionate manner to all the soldiers, as well those in active service as those on half-pay ; and, when opportunity occurred, even reminded the latter of past events in which they had distinguished them selves, respecting which the Prince was very exactly informed. It is affirmed that he even said to several Generals who were presented to him, that all those who had once shed their blood for their country, should be, from time to time, again taken into active service, and that the King had not the smallest doubts of their fidelity,'which contributed to make a most favourable impression on their minds. All the fortresses that were occupied by the Allies, are now garrisoned by French troops. The departure of the Army of Occupation has had a favourable in. fluence on the price of various necessaries of life. On the 6th the Duke of Angouleme arrived at Dunkirk. On the 7th General Jumilhac, in an Order of the Day, signified the satisfaction of the Duke of Angouleme with the manner in which he had been received by the garrison and the National Guard of the faithful City of Lille. In Dunkirk also the Duke was received with much joy and respect, he again assured the Magistrates of that City that the Govern ment attached great importance • to the post as the only military post in the North Sea, and that works would soon be begun to improve and to deep's* According to private letters from Path, the report that the Duke of Richelieu would retire from the Ministry is wholly groundless. It was affirmed that the question had been again considered, whether per mission to return to France would be given to some persons included in the second Ordinance of 1815. Among these persons, they spoke of Marshal Souls, Merlin de Douay, and Arnault. There has just been printed at the Hague—a A new Petition to their High Mightinesses the Mem bers of the Second Chamber of the States General, by Ni. Cauchois Lemaire ;" without prejudging the fate which this Petition will have, we content our sabre; with quoriag one of the passages which ter mina, it : a I Ochre," says M. Lemaire, a it is not only for priva4, interest that I speak, but for the interest of all, * frill duty ; and this duty is imposed on me by my situation ; it is to chew to the citizens who are oppressed, by what means they may reach their pp pressor:, and to teach the latter that they have ceased to be invulnerable ; for if once their htviolabi- j lity becomes established as a custom, it is all over with public and individual liberty ; the nation has submitted tothe yoke." ' It is curious enough to see a stranger come and give lessons to the Government of our country and to the representatives of the nation. What an ample subject for reflection, if the misfortune which he la bours under did not withhold our pen ! New York Papers to the 14th November arrived this morning, from which it appears that the opposi tion of the Indians to the encroachments of the Uni• ted States, on the side of the Floridas,lis not likely to be followed by any results favourable to the latter: " NEW YORK, NOVEMBER 13. " THE Swop:m.lc Wo.i.—We have says the Mil ledgeville Journal), intelligence from the Florida posts on the east of the Appalachicola, in the occu pancy of our troops, to the sth instant. The hostile Indians, amounting to about 1,000 strong, warriors who had not come in, were in a state of starvation— many had died of hunger. A woman arrived at St. Mark's the first of the month, :with intimations for some of the principal out-lying Chiefs of a wish to surrender, provided their lives were spared, and the little remaining property they had left, of which the friendly Indians are inclined to rifle them, should be secured. These dispositions have been humanely en couraged by the Commanding Officer of the Fort and little doubt is entertained but there will soon be a termination to the Seminolean war, which has exis ted on our borders, and with many acts of sever ity, for nearly two years past. " Major-General Gaines has transferred his head quarters from Fort Hawkins to St. Mary's. _ " The President of the United States has appointed the Hon. Smith Thompson, Chief Justice of the State , of New York, Secretary of the Navy, in place of the Hon. Benjamin W. Ciouninshield, resigned." The Duke of Yone held his first Levee since the death of her MAJESTY, on Tuesday last, which was numerously attended by Of of the first distinc tion; among whom we noticed— Genera Sir John Cradock ; Major-Generals Sir E. Barnes, Sir M. Power, Sir E. Stopford, Sir James Kempt, Molyneua; Colonels Sir Dudley Hill, C. B. Sir Charles Doyle, C. B. Sir Robert Arbuthnot, E.C.B. Sleigh, C. B. 11th Dragoons, Piper, C.

Saturday, the Duke of YORK loft York-House, St. James's, fur Windsor, from whence he proceeded to Oatlands, where his Royal Highness had a select pafty,to dinner. The Earl of UXBRIDGE left town yesterday to join his Regiment, the 7th Hussars, at Shepperton. We are sorry to announce the death of the Right Honouiable Lord ELLINBOROUGH. His Lordship died last night, at six o'clock, at his residence in St. James-square. The Hon. Mr. Krrox has received intelligence of the death of his venerable father, aged 90, at his seat in Duncanrfon. He is succeeded in the title and estate by the Hon. T. KNOX. LADY Joust CAMPBELL.—The death of this Lady is thus announced in a Paris Paper of Wednesday: Lady John Campbell, au English Lady, distinguished by birth and talents, died yesterday in Faris. She was carried off in a few days by a defluxion of the chest. Lady John Campbell was sister-in-law of the Duke of Argyle, and eldest daughter of William Campbell, of Fairfield, Esq.' Wednesday, the VENOttlit, of 74 guns, arrived in Leith Roads, when the Admiral's flag was immedi ately hoisted on board of her, and received the custo mary salute. The DRIVER sloop of war arrived in the forenoon, and likewise saluted the flag of the Admiral. By virtue of the Act 58th Geo.III. cap.7l, Wess's Offices, 9, Cornhill, and 17,Ludiate-street, are autho rized to remain Open until Twelve o' Clock to-night; as the Lottery begins To-morrow, and the First Drawn Prize will receive £30,000 Consols in addition. G. CARROLL sold the Last Prize of £30,000 Con sols, and why should he not sell the NErr, which must be drawn TO-IVORROW, when the Drawing will commence. Three Prizes of £20,000 have also been sold by him within the last few Months, and if we may reason by analogy, Tnnzv, perhaps all the Four, £30,000, will be sold by him, at his New Office, No. 19, Cornhill, (his former one, 7, Cornhill, having been destroyed by fire), and at his Old Office, No. 26, Oxford-street. FLORINCR MACARTHY.--The circumstances under whicb this new Work of Lady Morrows's has come forth, and the undeniable talents of the Author, has caused such a sensation as was never before witnessed on any similar occasion. We have already hinted that the Author has occasionally personified herself in the delineation of her Heroine. Among an im mense number of other characters are, 11 Libradot; a Guerilla warrior of great renown, from among the' Patriots of South. America, drawn upon the model of BONAPAR.TE ; a young English Gentleman, namedl 'De Vert, of singularly eccentric temperament, a com-1 pound between fancy and fashion, much occupied in mental abstractions—t man of superior intellect, but of whom it was difficult to decide whether he was more fop or philosopher, dandy or poet—(we scarcely observe this portrait is intended for our. Noble Poet, Lord I3YRON) ; Darby Crawley, an At torney who,.with his whole family of brothers and sons, have obtained wealth and promotion by their servility to the Government and oppression of the people ; Mr. Terence Oge O'Leary, an old School master ; Mr. Daley, an ancient and unchanged Hiber nian Patriot ; Lord Eversham, Aide-de-Camp to the Lord-Lieutenant, a Dandy of much humour and in tellect ; Baron Barker and Judge Aubrey, our two Irish Judges ; Lord Rosbrin, a Nobleman, madly addicted to Private Theatricals ; Padreen Gar, a sup posed Leader of Rebel Marauders, ttc. Sm. — Lady MonoAN has evidently made an improvement in her acquaintance with the characters and manners of her country ; and notwithstanding that she has taken her chief characters from the master cast, yet this work is much more rich than any former one in scenes and dialogues of low life, which, for the most part, it must be confessed, are conducted with exquisite fide lity, and are evidently copied from actual observation. tory this THE NA FALMOL 'Wind E.—Arrived deaur, to London London, for Grenad, and sailed for Jamai, on the 9th and 10th PLYMOL Came in the Marg. , to Tencriffe, leaky, Kam, from Saloe, PORTSM: Wind N.
