France of Thursday reached us last night; extracts from which appear in o ur front p a g e: the former are chiefly filled with accounts of the proceedings at the opening of the Legislative Chambers by the KING. All the liberal papers express satisfaction at the coot' nts of the KING'S Speech, and contrast that part ,i it which alludes to the pacification of Greece, with a correponding passage in that of the King of ENGL A ND. The contents of the Gazette de France are of little importance. Count CAPO D'ISTRIA, the expected future head of the Government of Greece, had removed, for what reason it is not stated, from Corfu to Malta. Whilbt measures have been taken in France to re strain and lessen the influence of the Jesuits in that country, the Emperor of AUSTRIA, probably to console them for their discomfiture, has granted them additional privileges in his dominions, and entrusted them in par ticular wi.h the education of youth. We have received this morning Dutch Papers to the 7th; also, H4mhurgh and Frankfort Journals, to the Sd inst. The following are their principal contents : HAGUE, JANUARY 31.

COPENHAGEN, J•sVA&Y 26. On the 16th of this month a •et y important Royal Ordinance, relative to the due and speedy administration of justice, was published, with a view to check as fir possible the abuses which h tee crept in since the Ordi nance of the same nature issued on the 3d June, 1796, The principles and regulations cf that Ordinance, are not only renewed, but so improved and enlarged, that persons engaged in law sans will be secured as far as possible against all undue delays, and protracting of their suits.

There were formerly at Augsburg one Gymnasium for the Catholic youth, and another for the Protestants, so that every father of a family was able, to intrust his children to a Catholic or Protestant teacher, as he thought fit. Under an administration, which is be yond the reach of blame, since it has ceased to exist, the two establishments were united, and parents obliged tointrust their children to masters of a religion, different to their own. On the accession of his Majesty King L uis, who desires all his subjects to enjoy the benefits of justice and reasonable liberty, the constraint, which had hitherto ken imposed on so many parents, ceased, and the two seminaries hare been re established. Frankfort Papers, Feb. 2. ST. PETIMSBURGH, JAN. 22.

Yesteruay a Court of Directors was held at the East India House ' when Captain Hamar MUM was sworn into the command of the ship Prince Regent, consigned to Madras and Bengal. Mr. BROUGHAM, in the Court of King's Bench yes terday, gave audible testimony of the arduous exertions of the preceding nighr. His voice, in praying for miti gation of punishment, in the case of the King v. K bert Bolton, was hoarse, and he did not speak with his usual animation. In his person he bore no marks, as he might naturally have been expected to do, of the mete task he had gone through. ..~- .. THE KING, &c. • WIN DSO.., r sue aIT 6.

NlAGARA.—Captain BAIL HALL, it appears, visited this celebrated cataract lately, and made observations with a barometer, with the view of settling a question much agitated, as to the density of the air below the waterfall. The top of the rock over which the water rushes hangs forward about 35 or 40 feet, base, and at its base is a bank of shingle about 20 feet above the surface of the pool, which receives the cascade. It is common for visitors to walk along this bank of shingle in the cavern thus formed by the overhanging rock, on the one hand; and'the sheet of descending water on the other. A more *rifle situation can scarcely be ima gined. Capt. HAIA advanced 150 feet into this fearful recess, till he was stopped by the mass of rock in the middle, which divides the fall into two parts. The gusts of wind and tremendous showers of spray rendered t no easy matter to observe the state of the barometer n such a situation ; it was done, however, and, at :sight have brew anticipateee the result was, that the iessure was the same as cn the dry ground adjacent the tall at the same level: fib , of lauusidl acquiri eeiti that w "tiated.
