PROM fat =On; DAM W 1:011111DAY, MMUS 13. ROYAL SITTING. This day, December 12, the King opened the Session, of the Chambers, at the Louvre. At a quarter before one, the King repaired by the gallery of the Museum to the Royal Sitting. Their Excellencies the Ministers, the Grand Dignitaries, their Royal Highnesses the Duke of Orleans, the Duke de Chartres, and the Dauphin, pre ceded the King. A salute from twenty-one pieces of cannon announced the King's departure. A deputation of twelve Peers of France, having the Chancellor at their head, and a deputation of twenty-five Deputies, con ducted by the officers of the ceremonies, went to receive the King in the hall adjoining the Mosaic. His Majesty, after stopping there and convening a few moments with the members of the deputations, en tered the Hall of Sitting, and took his seat on the throne. On the right of the King was the Dauphin, and on his left his Royal Highness the Duke of Orleans ; on the right of the Dauphin was the Duke de Chartres; in front and on the left of the King was the Chancellor of France; on the right and left of the steps of the throne were the President of the Council of Ministers, the Se cretaries of State, the Ministers of State, the Marshals of France, the Knights of the Royal Orders, the Grand Crosses of the Orders of St. Louis, and the Legion of Honour, the Commanders of St. L ouis, and the Grand Officers of the Legion, appointed by his Majesty to be near his person, Six Councillors of State, and Sit Mu ter: of Requests. The Peers of France were placed ea the benches in front and to the right of the King; the Deputies on the beaches La front and to the left of the King. The Dauphiness, the Duchess of Berry, the Duchess of Orleans, one of the Princesses. her daughter, and Mademoiselle d'Orleans, were present at the sitting, la galleries. The whole assembly stood uncovered. The Xing said, " Gentlemen Peers, sit down." The Chancellor of Prance informed the Deputies that his Ma- Je' permitted them to be seated. King then delivered the following speech: " Gentlemen, " Important labours have been prepared for this ses sion. Certain of your seal, I have not hesitated to anti cipate the ordinary period of your convocation. " Two codes will be submitted to your examination. They have for their object to perfect the legislation of forests, and to fix the rules of military jurisdiction. I have permitted few innovations to be made in this la bour. The bases are founded on the present system of the army, and on the ordonnance of my august ances tor on forests. 66 I could have wished that it had been possible not to direct your attention to the press, but in proportion as the power of publishing writings is developed, it has produced new abuses, which called for more extensive and more efficacious means of repression. It was time to put an end to its scandalous outrages, and to preserve the liberty of the press itself from the danger of its own excesses. A plan foe attaining this object will be pre seined to you._ _ _ __ _ _ " Imperfections have been remarked in the organiza tion of Juries. I shall cause to be submitted to you, a new project for their amelioration, and for establishing regulations more conformable te the nature of this institution. " The penalties enacted against the slave trade are not efficacious, and their application is capable of being eluded. A legislation more complete was necessary. I have directed the projects to be submitted to you. " I continue to receive from all Foreign Governments the assurance of the most amicable dispositions—and the most conformable to my own sentiments for the maintenance of peace. a Troubles have recently broken out in a part of the Peninsula. I shall unite my efforts to those of my Allies to put an end to them, and to prevent their con sequences. " The progressive increase of the produce of the in direct taxes will permit us this year to augment the funds appropriated to the public services, by a sum equal to that imposed by the last law of the finances. " This augmentation will be a real relief to my people ; it will ease the communes of the supplementary tax a bich they pay to their official servants, and the indigent classes will find abundant resources in the new activity which will be assumed in the public works, on our great roads, our fortresses, and our naval arsenals. 46 I have feason to hope that the appropriations which* will be made for the public services will be sufficient to meet all their wants for several years, and that I shall henceforth be able to apply the surplus produce to the reduction of the most burdensome taxes. 4 , Let us, Gentlemen, render thanks to DIvINI Pao- VIDUNCI for a situation so favourable, and labour in concert to improve and confirm it, in order that my people may long enjoy its fruits. France, industrious and tranquil, will acquire new greatness, and - her suc cess in peace will not shed around her less lustre than would, once more, her warlike virtues, if Inmost: should again oblige her to display them." The King's Speech being finished, the Chancellor, after receiving his Majesty's orders, read the form of the oath of the Peers as follows : 1 4 I swear to be faithful to the King, to obey the Conetitutiesd Charter and the laws of the kingdom, and to conduct myselflo every thing as beauties a good and loyal Peer of France." The Chancellor, after having again received the King's orders, informed the Deputies elected in the interval of the two Sessions, that his Majesty permitted them to take the oath before him, that he would read the form, that the Secretary of State for the Interior would call over their names, and that the Deputies were to answer,*standing in their places, in these words :- 4 , . I swear." - - - The Chancellor then read the oath as follows: " I swear to be faithful to the King, to obey the Constitutional Charter and the laws of the kingdom, and to conduct myself in every thing as becomes a good and loyal Deputy." 'the newly-elected Deputies having taken the oath, the Chancellor declared, by order of the Xing, that the ses%ion of the two Chambers for 1827 was open, and that each of them was invited to meet to-morrow, at noon, in their ordinary place of sitting, to commence their business. His Majesty was conducted back to the Hag adjoining tbe Mosaic Saloon, in the same manner in which be was received on his arrival. A second salute of artillery announced the return of the King to the Chateau of the Tuileries. Reiterated aim of " rack Rey," [PRICE SEVENPENCE. greeted his Majesty on his arrival, were uttered after his speech, and accompanied him at his departure. The Chambers will meet to-morrow, Wednesday, at noon. It is thought the Deputies are in sullcient numbers. According to the latest intelligence received at Paris, the party of the Nugent was at Ryon, and the party of Don Miguel, which en tered by the route of Bananas, was at Evoram nte. Nothing is known of the Marquis of Chaves's column since the occupation of the Castle of Braganca. The following are the only articles of interest in the Paris journals iof Monday, including the Ftoik dated Tuesday, which were received last night : FROM TUB JOURNAL DES !MATS. MADRID, D. S. PiIVATIL The English Minister at our Court appears to be in no way satisfied with the explanations given by M. Sal mon in a note dated on the 28th, and on the 29th be addressed a note to M. Salmon. Mr. Limb, in. the first place, proves that arms. for warded thence to Estremadura, under pretext of arming the Royalist volunteers, have been distributed to the Portuguese refugees. His Excellency names the plate and the day where and when they were distributed. Mr. Lamb afterwards adds, that a report from Ge neral St. Juan had been communicated to him, in which that General announces, that when he r. ceived the or der to deliver up the arms of the refugees to the Portu gueseGovcrnment, he could not execute it immediately. because the troops which he commands were absen:, arid that he had to apprehend a movement on the part of the Portuguese refugees, which it was not in his power to repress. To this Mr. Lamb replied, that General St. Juan bad himself removed his troops, by collecting them at Al. cantara under the pretext of a review; that he went thither in person, and that he was so well informed of the movements of the Portuguese refugees, that the rations, which a detachment of 800 men received in passing through Almendral to enter Portugal, Wel, furnished in pursuance of orders of General St. Juan himself, signed at Alcantara. It has been thought fit also to communicate to me, continues Mr. Lamb, a report of General Longa, in which it is stated that that General had proceeded to the frontiers of Portugal, to watch in person the move ments of the Portuguese. To appreciate the justice of this report, it should be compared with the secret correspondence which has passed between General Longa and the late Intendant of Leon, Pastor. In that correspondence the true motives of the journey of the General is to be found. It alone explains the real cause of it General Quesada, in his report, pretends that it was from motives of humanity, that he allowed the Porta. geese refugees who were at Exija to be removed to Ayamonte, in order that the greater proximity to Poe. toga' might enable them at a less expense to exchange the Portuguese money which they had brought with them, and which is not current in Spain. This report, Mr. Lamb remarks, is net better (ounded than that of General Longa ; for if General Quesada had in view only the pecuniary interest of the Portuguese refugees, the Spanish Government had within its power, without displacing the refugees, to exchange their money, with out loss either to them or to it. From the manner in which Mr. Lamb's note termi nates, it would appear that he has not received the ne cessary instructions either for demanding or accepting anything from our Government. On the other hand, it would also seem, that it is less from London than from Lisbon that this diplomatist has to look to for the direction of his conduct. The Portuguese Government being informed, on the morning of the 2Sd, of the invasion of the province of Tras-os-Montes, the Minister of Foreign Affairs wrote on the same evening to the Marquis of Cassa-Flotts, our Ambassador at Lisboa, that his functions as Am bassador bad ttrminated, and that as soon as he pleased passports for leaving Portugalwould be delivered to him. This fact is correct—perfectly correct—and as there is no doubt that the Portuguese Government d;d 1113 t take this unexpected step without consulting Sir W. A'Court, it may be presumed that its conduct will re gulate that of Mr. Lamb, who will doubtless terminate his mission at Madrid in a manner as abrupt as that is which our Ambassador's hai been closed at Lisbon. However, out Government, which foresaw the storm does every thing to allay it, and offers to dismiss the Minister Calemarde, and the three Captains-General mentioned above. General Longa is at present about five leagues frqm Braganza, at the village of Alcanizas, which is situated on our extreme frontier ; and General St. Juan is on the banks of the Caya, in Estrernadura. These Generals have each about 2090 men with them ; and they cer tainly are not there for the purpose of securing respect to the Spanish territory, which never has been threatened with any invasion by the troops of the Portuguese Regency. M. de Moustier was to have left Madrid on the Ist, hnt his dlpa►t ars lute nos yaps taken yiesc. 4l Mr. Lamb, however, who has not announced his departure, is selling his horses, and preparations are making in his hotel, which indicate that he does not expect his resi dence here to be of long duration. The contest at Brapnsa appears to have been of the most o►- stinate description, for we are assured that the number of killed and wounded on both sides is about SOO men. TAM WI sows, DATED TUESDAY. A letter from Badajos contains the following state ment;—The Governor of Badajoz lately receives orders from the Minister of War to transmit 800 muskets to Merida, a place only a few leagues from Portugal. The Government sent a detachment of 12 men, under the command of • Lieutenant of Artillery, with the muskets. When they arrived close upon the frontier, the Lieutenant and his dozen men suddenly foynd themselves in presence of a Portuguese Colonel, who [ was one of the Portuguese refugees that some weeks ago entered Spain. The Colonel accosted the Spanish Lieutenant very politely, and summoned him to surren der the 800 muskets. The Lieutenant refused. The Colonel replied that he might give them up without having any thing to fear ; that he would not be blamed by thetiover nor of Badajoz, nor by his Capt.-General. The Lieutenant declared to the Portuguese Colonel, that he would only yield the SOO muskets to force. The Colonel then caused the Spanish detachment to be surrounded, and • Do lie* states that be left Madrid so the Ab.
