RECEIVED BY EXPRR.SS LAST NIGHT. IRON TUB MONITZUR, DI:C=IM PART. To-day, December 21, at eight o'clock in the even ing, the (hand Deputation of the Chamber of Peers were admitted with the usual forms, to present to the King the Address voted by the Chamber of Peers in answer to his Majesty's Speech. The Chancellor of France read the Address, which was in the following terms: Staa—lt is always with fresh eagerness that the Peers of your Kingdom approach the foot of your -Throne, to present the homage of their attachment and respectful fidelity. With the zeal and attention that such important interests require, they will devote them selves to the examination of the Law Projects which your 'Majesty has devised for the welfare of your pe.tple. Ag The necessity of the two Codes, which your Ma- 1 jesty has ca red, is generally acknow ledged. In the present day, especially, when maritime commerce has taken a wider range, the funds, which form a considerable portion of the public Wealth, ac quire still greater importance. The legislation to which they are subjected requires to be ameliorated ; the basis of them have Already been laid down by your immortal grandfather, in one of those Oidinances, the exalted wisdom of which has not contributed less than his other titles to gloi y, to obtain him the denomination of Louis the Great. " A military code will he considered as much a be nefit by the citizens ss the army. It is important for all that the military jurisdiction should be circumscribed within liusits determinate and precise. " We, Sire, even we also, should desire that it had been possible not to have interfered with the press; but your Majesty has considered that it was time to put an end to afflicting scandals. When the King expresses the intention of preserving the liberty of the press from its own excesses, this solicitude is a proof of the value that his magnanimous heart attaches to the maintenance of the public liberties. Animated with the same semi ornents, the Peers of your kingdom will eagerly unite their efforts with those of your Majesty. sg We a ill examine with an intention no less scrum loos tie Law Project, which is announced to us upon the organization .4 the Juries. This institution, which is consecrated by the Charter, should afford all the guarantees necessary for the dispensation of justice, the first want of nations. " Humanity -hadtailed with applause the abolition of: a traffic which is repugnant to our natural sentiments ;. but since cupidity finds the means of evading the pro hibitions of the law, it becomes indispensable to adopt effectual measures to make them respected. " The friendly diposition of the Foreign Govern ments•so conformable to the personal sentiments of your - Majesty, afforded the well-grounded hope,that a pesos obtained at the price of so many secrifices will be of long duration, and it troubles have broken out in a part of the Peninsula, which was lately the ifleatre of the glory of your august son and his valiant army, France awaits with confidence the result of' the efforts of your Majesty, who, in concert with your Allies, will put an end to them, and prevent their direful consequences. " The progressive increase of the product of the in direct taxes, that you r Majesty condescends to announce to us, is a sure sign of the general comfort. The excess of revenue will enable an allowance to be made to the different branches of the public service, of funds which have hitherto been refused with regret. This measure of administration not only supplies urgent necessities, but likewise affords ample resources to the indigent classes in the works required by the state of the high roads, the ma ritime constructions, and the repair of the strong places. And. if, as your Majesty holds out the hope, the Treasury. can henceforward take upon itself to pay the supplemen tary sums that the parishes give to the Ministers of Reli gion, this will be, under another name, a real reduction to those who pay the taxes; and yet we look with our best wishes for the period when the progressive augmentation of the Revenue will allow a reduction of those taxes which are acknowledged to be the most burdensome. " SlRE—After so many years trials and misfortune, it is consolatory to fix our eyes upon the situation of France. At a view of so happy a change, what French- Man would not unite with his King in blessing Heaven who had vouchsafed us so much prosperity . ? Yes— under your Majesty's auspices, we will labour to add still more, by th e arts of peace, to the greatness and honour ofthis nation, ambitious of every kind of success and glery.We can pursue in full security the career that is opened before us, assured that the longest peace would not be able to deteriorate the watlike virtues in which the national. character glories ; through so many vicissitudes of misfortune they have never betrayed it. Who, then, can entertain doubt of them, or of honour ? At the call of her august Chief; all France would rise in arms with all her pride and all her energy." The King replied— " I always received with the same pleasure the ex• pression of the sentiments of the Chamber of Peers; I feel an equal satisfaction, Gentlemen, at seeing you disposed to examine with frankness and serious atten tion the important projects which will be laid before you. Your concurrence, on which I depend. will be a new proof of your seal for the happiness of France. T have always been certain, that if the honour of my Crown ahould ever require new sacrifices, my faithful subjects would hear my voice, and would hasten to answer it; and I am pleased to see the Chamber of Peers of the Kingdom participate in my conviction. This satisfac tion is the more pure, as my Allies unite their efforts with mine to prevent the events in the Peninsula from disturbing the tranquillity of Europe, and I have a . ell-founded hope that my people will long continue' o enjoy the blessings of peace." runt Crrou.s. PARIS, Dooms 22. According to the latest Inters from Vigo, it appears that the Captain General had just informed the Com mander-in-Chief of the province of Tuy, that by an ex traordinary courier his Catholic Majesty had just let him know bow dissatisfied be was with the conduct of Gen. Silveira and of the Portuguese refugees in Spain, who, by their return to Portugal in arms, had given cause to just remonstrances from the Courts of Lisbon and Lon don. According to the Royal Orders, instructions have, it seems, been transmitted to all the Captains General to pursue General Silveira, as well as all his countrymen who have followed him, with a prohibition to receive in future any Portuguese refugees. MADRID, DEcaxasa it. The King continues to enjoy goad health, but that of the Queen is not so satisfactory. Her Majesty, though perfectly recovered from the indisposition which she experienced at the Escurial, is still very delicate and rather weak. His Royal Highness the Infant Don Francisco de Paulo was slightly indisposed last Satur day. Their Serene Highnesses the Infants and In• fences are well. • Last Thursday, die 7th instant, the King held, in his magnificent chapel, of his palace, the Grand Chapter of the Royal and Illustriou s Order OfCharles 111. in which his Highness the Infant Don Sebastian received the religion. institution of that order. Their Royal High. news the King's brothers, the Grandees of Spain, the Knights Grand Crosses, and a great number of Knights of tilt first class, all wearing the rich mantle of the order of .Chanel 11.1. were present at this brilliant cere mony, which attracted a greater number of persons than the Royal Chapel could contain. The Queen,' the Infanta, and the Princess of Beira, were in the Royal gaiter ie.. On the following day (the Bth), the fete of the im maculate Conception, ilie grand fete of the order of Charles 111. such of the Knights of the 'floret Classes as, are at Madrid, at the head of whom were the King and the three Princes of his august family, followed br almost all the Grandeesof the kingdom, all wearing the costume and mantle of the order, repaired to the Church 1 , of St. Francis, in the Franciscan con sent,when they heard high mass, at which one of the Knights Grand Cross officiated in pontificalihns. Ti.is tine ceremony, which was rendered so edifying by the devotion of all the Knights of the order without exception, was celebrated with all the pomp suitable to the occasion, and to the presence of the Sovereign and the Princes of the Royal Family.—We this moment learn that negociations have, been commenced between Portugal and our Cabinet,' with the mediation of England, and that it will not be surprising if a treaty should be signed within 24 hours. We know for certain that Sir W. A'Court has said to several Members of the Cortes, that within a week a great number of English troops would arrive in the Tagus.—Mentorial Borcklai4. On the complaints of the English Ambassador, *he knows very well all that is now passing, and how the intrigue of Silveira has been managed, the Government , has summoned to Madrid the Captains General Longa and Egnia to answer for their conduct.

PRIVAIS A report has just been spread that the two Swiss regiments in the service of France, which are here, and which is almost the whole of the King's guard, will go away on the Ist of January. a It is certain that the French Government, in the last dispatches which it has sent to our Court, speaks of withdrawing those two regiments. But, however, it does not speak in positive terms, and it ap. pears inclined to leave the • Swiss here some time longer, upon certain conditions. Since the return of the King to Madrid, Mr. Lamb has not once appeared at Court, and still keeps his travelling carriage ready to set out at a moment's notice. However, nobody believes that Mr. Lamb will depart ; on the contrary, it is thought that he will obtain all the satisfaction that he demands,' ' and that our Cabinet will abandon the Apostolics rather than risk a rupture with England, the immediate con sequence of which would be the loss of the island of Cuba ; the only thing that we have remaining of our , ancient and vast transmarine possessions. But it is not the same wish de Ponte de Lima, the Charte d'Affaires of Portugal, to whom, as I told you in my last, M. Salmon has announced that his functions are at an end; this Charge d'Affaires, who has long resided in this capital, and who has here been married to a Spanish Lady, is making preparations to depart,. and he will probably set out on' the 14th or 15th—that is to say, at the same time when we expect here le Mar quis de Casa Eores. Letters from Valladolid an nounce that General Longa was expected there on the 10th, on his return from Zamora ; but they heard, that during his stay on the frontiers and in the neighbourhood, he caused above fifty waggons with ammunition and provisions to be sent to the Por tuguese insurgents. It seems that this General, as well as General St. Juan, who commands in Estremadura, are to return to Madrid to give an account of their conduct. These two Generals, and perhaps General Quesada, commanding in Andalusia, will, if necessary, be sacrificed to prove the innocence .of our Cabinet; and, in fact, if they should be brought to trial, they will not be able to shew any orders by virtue of which they have acted, though they have done nothing but according to instructions emanating from an autho rity which, though not ti.e regular anthot ity of the Minister of War, are no lebs imperious in an abso lute Government. " A mixed commission of Capuchios^and Jesuits had been ordered to examine the Opera of the Two Figaros, which was to be acted for the benefit of Mercondante. It has prohibited not only the representation of this PRICE SEVENPENCE. Opera upon any stage, but to sing the airs in concerts. Metcondante has post-horses ready to set out the mo ment after the representation of the Barber of Seville, which has been granted him." FitOM THE COURIER ram%AIL "PARIS, Diesnraza 21. 44 Don Pedro has very speedily learnt, at Rio de Janeiro, the first opposition that his charter bas ex perienced at Lisbon. He was extremely incensed at it„ and has taken the strongest measures against those who :hewed themselves adverse to his will. He has summoned them to appear before him in Brazil, and enjoined them to repair thither without delay, under severe penalties. What will happen when he is informed of the rebellion of Chaves and his accomplices ? He is, more than ever, attached to his charter ; and we learn, from letters worthy of credit. he is resolved not to suffer any kind of modifications to be made in it, whatever may be the intrigue and solicitations of certain Cabinets to that effect. Ile is resolved, and with reason, that an appeal shall be made to time, and that experience alone shall decide, after the lapse of some years, upon a work which it is absurd to judge, and especially to condemn, before it has been put to a fair trial. " Recent letters from Vienna confirm what we said yesterday, that the Infant Don Miguel, being counselled by the Emperor in person, and Prince Metternich him self, has finally resolved to remain faithful to the Queen, his future consort, and that he has solemnly disavowed the traitors who, pretending to place upon his head a usurped crown, were perhaps serving, besides their per sonal ambition, secret plans of the Cabi ne t o f M a d r id for the uniqn f Portugal with Spain, and for the for mation of a Peninsular compact in the hands of the inquisition and triumphant monachism. " The courier who brings this declaration of Don Miguel, passed through Paris three days ago, and pro ceeded to Madrid and Lisbon. It is incredible why our Ministry, to whom this document, so decisive in the present state of things, was communicated, has not con firmed its authenticity : it is doubtless, afraid of sfnict• ing too soon the admirers whom the revolt of Chaves bas found in our Chambers and elsewhere. But even these begin to feel cold towards their hero, since his chances of success have vanished before the virgorons resolution of the British Parliament, and unanimous language of the Cabinets of • France, Austria, Russia, and Prussia. For we must do the justice to the diplo. made' body residing -among us to say, that it has nut ,hesitated in this last crisis to declare against the perfidy ,of the Court of Madrid. and of its Apostolics." CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.—Serenee or Dec. N. ' All the Secretaries being chosen, the Chamber was , completely constituted, and M. Raven took the chair as President.

This motion' was carried with applause. The President then observed, that as the Chamber was constituted, information thereof should be com municated to his Majesty through the medium of the Minister of the Interior, and to the Chamber of Peers by a message. It was too late to meet in the Bureau:, but he proposed that the Deputies should meet on the following day at two o'clock to verify the powers of the new members, and afterwards mine to their Bureaux to elect the committee for drawing up the address.--Agreed to.
