SPEECH PRONOUNCED BY HIS MAJESTY, UPON OPENING THE SESSION OF THE CHAMBERS. " Ermesagrr—The necessity which has long been felt of li. berating the Financial Administration from those provisional measures to which it has been necessary hitherto to recur, has determined me, this year, to anticipate the period of calling you together. In exacting from you this new sacrifice, I rely upon your zeal, and upon that devotion of which you have given me so many proofs. " Psovinewcs has preserved the infant which it has given to us, and it is a pleasing thought to imagine that he is destined to repair the losses and the misfortunes which have befallen my fa mily and people. " I have the satisfaction to announce to you, that my re lations with foreign Powers continue to be of the most amicable description. " A perfect unanimity has influenced the efforts, concerted between my Allies and myself, to put an end to the calamities which oppress the East, and which afflict humanity. I cherish the hope of seeing tranquillity restored in those countries with out the occurrence of a new war to aggravate their miseries. " The naval force which I maintain in the Levant has accom plished its destination, by protecting my subjects, and by afford ing aid to the unfortunate, whose gratitude has been the reward of our solicitude. " I have adopted precautions which have kept from our fron tiers the contagion which has ravaged a part of Spain. The present season dces not permit that we should relax these pre cautions, and I shall therefore continue them as long as the safety of the country may require it. Malevolence alone can discover in these measures a motive foreign to my real intentions. " Rash enterprises have disturbed, in some parts of the king dom, public tranquillity; but they have only served to display more signally, the zeal of the Magistrates, and the fidelity of the troops. 11 a small number of individuals, who are the ene mies of order, view with despair oar institutions consolidated and rendering a new support to the Throne, my people abhor their criminal designs. I shall take care that violence does not deprive them of the privileges they enjoy. " Positive calamities, though exaggerated by fear, have re cently desolated the departments contiguous to the capital. The aid of public and private benevolence has, however, mitigated them. The activity of the inhabitants shortened the duration of these disasters: authority seconded their zeal; justice will punish the guilty. "‘The exact state of the debt arricrL e e, is at length ascertained, and will be submitted to you. This debt, whose origin is iu times happily far removed from us, and whose liquidation has developed its full extent, will retard, for the present year, In spite of my most deep regret, a part of those ameliorations of which the various branches of the public revenue will be sus ceptible.--The advantages we have already obtained should en courage us to persevere for their maintenance add increase. " I rely upon your aid to secure, in our beautiful tiountry,that prosperity which Pitovine,:ca designs for us; this is the wish of my heart ; the incessant object of my thoughts; it is the consoling idea which alleviates the recollection of my pains, sad which embellishes tLe attiicipations of the future." PARIS, JUNE 4. A great number of scholars of the Schools of Law rind Medicine, and mercantile young men, formed the project of celebrating yesterday, at the ChurCh-of St. Eustache, a funeral set vice , in honour of their un fortunate comrade, young Lallemand, who was killed two years ago in the Place du Carousel. The young , being on their way to the cemetery, an Officer Gendarmerie, accompanied by two gendarmes, le up and asked where they were going?— To Lachaise," was the answer, " to pay a last duty comrade and a friend." The Officer then stated : lie had orders to prevent their entering the ce :ery. Explanations and loud complaints ensued, the gentlamics drew their sabres. The scholars an to reueat, but not retiring quick enough, other of my t cunsolii • wbich i 1 A i and 0 the p ti St. E form two y men of t; came i 1 Pere . . , ta a 1 .1 ' that mete a_ r•bc:, :-.!..4 1 i't.: __ gendarmes arrived, and thinking probably that there' was an attempt at resistance, thaw charged the young men, some of 'whom were wounded, and others ar rested. In the Rue de la Roquette the crowd over• turned a cabriolet, and seized a chariot, and by this means made a sort of barrier in the middle of the street, Stones were thrown at the gendarmerie,who charged. sabre blows were given. and the gendarmerie halted. The young men again assembled in the Boulevard, and went to the Rue de Petit Carreau to pass unco vered before the house of the father of the unfortu• nate Lallemand. From thence they proceedeli to the place du Pantheon, where they again met the gen darmerie, and a Commissary of Police; they had a parley, but instead of unfavourable dispositions the scholars .found only protectors, and the gendarmes sheathed their sabres. Unfortunately a detachment of Infantry of the line arrived to disperse the crowd. The soldiers, %% kb fixed bayonets, marched agairbt the young men, who pelted them with stones. The sol diers were compelled to retire, after which the scholars separated and returned to their homes.—Constiltetionnel. A serious tumult took place in Paris on Monday. At eight o'clock a number of youths belonging to the Schools of Law and Physic, attired in deep mourning, came in procession to the gates of the ceme tary Pere Lachaise, which had been closed by autho rity. They were followed by a numerous multitude. , M. Benjainin Constant also made his appearance in a hackney-coach, accompanied by another person, who, it was said, was the Count de Thiars, Member of the Chamber of Deputies. Cries were re-echoed of " Benjamin Constant for ever I—The Charter for ever !—We will enter !"—The Students demanded to pass to the tomb of their deceased fellow, Lallemand; this was refused, and some disposition being evinced to enter by force, the military were brought to the spot, and the place was promptly cleared. They ral lied again on the Boulevard de Bonne Nouvelle, and marched in files a second time to the burial ground, where, on being refused entrance, a volley of stones was directed against the military, two of whom were grievously hurt by these missiles. On this the horse gendarmerie vigorously charged sword in hand ; above twenty of the Students were in consequence wounded, and eight takes prisoners. Up to ten on Monday night, no further tumult had taken place; the refractory being awed by their repeated discom fiture, and the strong patrols which were on foot.— The posts round the Palais Royal were doubled, and every measure adopted to repress any hostile ef fort.—Quotidienne. The Moniteur says, that some of the military, and the officers of police, were wounded. The French accounts from Spain, as usual, teem with insurrections. The intelligence from Madrid is to the 23d ult. On that day news had reached the capital that the remnant of a band of 400, of whom 2(X) were cut down on the field of battle, sought re fuge by , passing the frontier of Portugal, but were received with discharges of musketry by the Portu guese soldiers. The project of a law for giving the Ministers the power of establishing martial law in the disturbed Provinces, was rejected by a majority of 82 to 48, on the grounds of its severity and liability to abuse. Accounts from Pampeluna, of the 26th ult. state, that a courier extraordinary, arrived this morning from Madrid, informs, that in pursuance of a message of the Cortes, the KING ordered 30,000 men to the Pyrennees, in three corps of MOOD each, under Ge nerals BALLASTEROS, ESPOZ MINA, and LAZAN, with power to command the assistance of the militia.

Cosiraton of an Yesterday a Coart'of Caoncil was held arGaildhall, for the election Under Marshal, and two Clerks of the Court . of Requests, and for the dispatch of other buiiness. The REMEMNRANCER stated, in answer to a ques tion, that it was intended by the present Licensing Bill now before the House of Commons, to alter the day of granting Publicans Licenses frcim the 4d of March till the month of September. On the motion of Mr.Doanrono, a Committee was appointed to watch the progress of this Bill through Parliament. A Report was presented, recommending the re ception of Plans for building a new London Bridge,. of five arches. Mr. OLotrAx conceived this a ruinous and unpro fitable plan, which would be destructive of much property. He was present when the Member for Surrey moved, in a Committee of the House of Com- I mons, that a new bridge should be erected. Only one Member of the Committee opposed the motion ; .and he heard some threats held out that if the Cot. poration gave any more opposition to the measure, the whole should be taken out of their hands by Par liament. It was proper that they should spew the Public that they had nothing to do with this matter, except by compulsion. They ought also to take care that the Bridge House Estates should be charged with no more of the expense of this stupendous un dertaking than they were able to bear. He was a Radical Reformer as to the formation of a Committee of the House of Commons. On this Committee they had the Treasurer of the Southwark Bridge, two or or three persons connected with iron works and quar ries, and two or three connected with architecture and bridge building. He would sooner trust his property with a Court of Requests of the City of Lon don, than with such a Committee of the House of Commons as this. If they had a new bridge, let it be one that would do honour to the City of London, and to the whole country. Let the approaches to it be made handsome ; and the whole expense could not be less.than one million, or one and a half mil- lion. He then moved some Resolutions to the effect of his observations in his 'speech ; and that all that should be charged on the 'Bridge House Estates ;o wards the erection of a new bridge, should not ex ceed £400,000. Mr. HANSARD thought it would hardly be ex pected to abstain from opposing this job, because a Committee had threatened them if they opposed. Mr. OLDHAM said, the Court had already agreed that there should be a new bridge, and the only ques tion was, whether they would advertise for Plans? Mr. HANSARD thought that they should agree not to advertise for Plans, and then the thing must stop sub sileutio. They ought to oppose the measure by all the means in their power, and spew the House of Commons that they had still some of the spirit of their ancestors in them. Sheriff GARRATT thought it sufficient to appoint a Committee to watch the progress of the measure in Parliament. Sheriff ViNABLES thought the present bridge would last longer than a new one, and they could get as large a water way ; but it was in vain for the Court of Common Council to set itself in array against Parliament, if the latter was determined to have a new bridge. He, however, thought the Corporation should be in no hurry in advertising for architec tural Plans and Estimates. Mr. OLDHAM explained, and said, he should be happy if they could get the Bill thrown out in the House of Commons, though they must prepare a Bill and send it there. Mr. S. Dixon thought they had better, allow the House of Commons to build this bridge its own way, and let it find all the money. Mr. DORNFORD said, it would be quite inconsistent to oppose a Bill which they must direct their own Re membrancer to prepare and bring into Parliament. Mr. CROCKER wished that there should be Plans and Estimates advertised for. The Comptroller of the Bridge House Estates, in answer to a question from Mr OLDHAM, said, that the beads of the clauses of the Bill had been drawn up; but it was not probable that the Bill itself would be introduced into Parliament during the present Session. Mr. OLnti A st was anxious that they should now tack about without involving themselves with the House of Commons in getting rid of the measure. Alderman WOOD said, it had already been agreed, by an unanimous vote of the House of Commons, that there should be a new bridge. Would they, then, expose themselves to such vacillating conduct in one fortnight? Mr. S. DIXON said, let those that had a wish for a new bridge find the whole of the money themselves to pay for it. Alderman WOOD said there was already a fund for the purpose, so that no one would be taxed a shilling for it. To keep up the present bridge shewed that they had no regard for human life. It was only last week that a man was struck off a barge and drowned, by the tiller striking him overboard, in consequence of the violence of the waterfall at the bridge. If the Court vacillated in this manner, it could never ap proach the House of Commons again to ask for any measure. The Hon. Member for Surrey (Mr. Holme Sumner) took every opportunity of attacking them ; and he hoped they would not give kitn better cause to do so in future. _ _ • Sheriff VENABLES denied that they intended to vacillate. He therefore moved that the Report should lie on the table. Alderman BRIDGES said, the House of Commons expected that the Court would carry this measure into the fullest effect. Mr. S. DIXON said that, by agreeing with the amendment they would - give time for the examina tion of this measure, especially as it was not to come ' before the House of Commons this Session. Mr. OLDHAM agreed, as much as any man, that this was a complete job ; but they committed them selves to no Bill by advertising for plans during the vacation of Parliament. If anything detrimental, to their interests were done by Parliament, he would be the first to tell them to take the whole management of the bridge into their own hands. 'Sheriff VENABLES moved an amendment, that the Committee should proceed no further in the execution of this Report till the next Meeting of the Court. That amendment was negatived on a shcw of hands, x; : ~. -~ ~.R- LONDON. FRIDAY, JUNE 7, 1522. THE FUNDS. and the Report referred back to the Committee to 1. 4 ,carried into effect. Mr. OLDRAM then moved his Resolution, t h at 'London-bridge, as it now was, could be made suffi. cient for all its purposes ; that if Parliament deter. mined for a new bridge, it should provide funds to the amount of One Million for its erection. After some desultory conversation the Resoin. tions were agreed to, except one, specifying ti e height of the centre arch of a new bridge; and it was re• solved that the Resolutions should be adverti•ed— ( See Advertisement, first page.) ' A Petition was presented from theßoyal Universal Dispensary for Children, praying for a grant in a id of their funds, which was referred to the G”neral Purposes Committee, to consider and report. A Petition was laid before the COUT t from srn , dr 7 inhabitants of the Ward of Cripplegate Withii , , again , t the union of the two Wards of Cripplegae and Without, which was referred to the Committee of General Purposes, to consider and report. The Court then proceeded to fill up the vaca nc y in the office of Under Marshal, when Mr. WA DH A:4 COPE, Citizen and fishmonger, was elected by a large majority. Mr. ARTHUR KETTE, Citizen and Tallow Chandler, was unanimously elected, by chew of hauls, to the situation of Second Assistant Clerk or the Court of Requests; and Mr. JAMES AoccicK, Citizen and Merchant Taylor, was elected, by ballot, as the Third Assistant Clerk of the said Court.

The Speech of the king of FRANCE on opening the new Session of the t;so Chambers, which we gave in part of our impression of ) e.:erday, does not pre sent anything worthy of remark. It is as unmeaning, and as uninteresting as such documents generally are, and does not give a single fact with which we were unacquainted, or throw any additional informa tion on French politics. The doubtful manner in which the KING speaks of peace between Russia and Turkey, is likely to induce a suspicicn that the ne gociations are not yet terminated. The reply of the Chamber of Deputies will be looked to with more interest, since it was last year the means of overturn ing a Ministry which certainly seemed quite as im movable as the present one, whose conduct in office has not been such as to increase the number of their friends. The Court of Exchequer has, for the last two or three years, been much occupied in prosecutions for selling" Vegetable," or" Imitative Breakfast Powder,' and several humble individuals, both in England ani Scotland, have been fined, and some entirely ruined, for selling substitutes for the heavily taxed articles of tea and coffee. Long Returns have been made to both IJouses of Parliament, illustrative of the extent of those prosecutions; and now those proceedings, which were the object of terrific, because ruinous in formations, are, it appears, to be declared legal by Act of Parliament. On Tuesday the House of Commons went into a Committee on the New Excise Act, when the two following Resolutions were moved by Mr. LUSIIING• TON, and agreed to : " First—That it is expedient to allow the manufacture and sale of scorched or roasted corn, peas, or beans, by persons no 4 being dealers in coffee, cocoa, tea, tobacco, or snuff. " S:condly--That any manufacturer, dealer in, or seller of, such scorched or roasted corn, peas, or beans, shall take out a license for that purpose, for which license the sum of is. tiel. shell be payable." The statute which prosecutes for selling Vegetable Powder is ene of the most oppressive enactments in the whole of the Excise laws, and, like many other enactments, it has crept into an Act of Parliament in which no person would think of looking for it. — The Act to which we allude is the 44th of Geo. 111. e:129, and purports to be to amend the Excise Laws, 4. as far as they relate to the exportation of tea to Ire land." Will it be believed that this Act declares " That if any burnt, scorched, or roasted peas, beans, or otter grain, or vegetable substance or substances, prepared or manufac turedfor the purpose of being an imitation of, or in any respect t resentblc,clice or cocoa, or to stave as rt substitute for coffee or cam, or alleged or pretended by the possessor or vender thereof so to be, shall be made or kept for sale, or shall be offered or exposed to sale, or if any burnt, scorched, or roasted peas beaus, or other grain, or vegetable substance or substances, not being coffee or cocoa, shall be k:allsd by (Ls. 1.1,11414:r, trato,fAuturer,
