All good men will rejoice to behold you once more occupied in "providing for their hap piness, and the evil-disposed .will find in the Na tional Congress a barrier impenetrable to their cri minal projects." His MAJESTY having concluded his Speech, the PRESIDENT of the Cortes rose, and spoke as follows : " Satioa—The present Estraurdinary Cortes, called to provide for the urgencies of the State, to rid the nation of the bands of factious which infest the vari ous points of her territory, to make arrangements with foreign Powers, and to place the military laws and the criminal code in harmony with the institu tions. by which we are governed, will seize the op portunity of manifesting their seal in favour of these, important objects. a The principle on which depends the security and even the preservation of aily political society is, that it must be defended by an assernb)ed force against `any public insult or violence ; and since we are in a situation to repel the attacks made on the tranquil en joyment of the liberty which.we have sanctioned in our social compact, it is just and necessary that we should place the nation in the requisite state of power and activity, for repelling aggressors, putting down rebels, supporting our rights,.and rendering respect able the public voice, and the fundamental law which that voice has restored. Fortunately, the heroic virtues of patriotism and valour form the character of our warriors, and render them conspicuous wherever they are employed for the safety of the country.— The augmentation of those warriors, and the acquisi tion of resources, will finally raise us to that power ful situation, which, by tendering victory undoubted, will obviate bath the necessity of attack and the pre caution of defence. • Pi • - ; •.

The Constitutionnef contains an article 'hewing to what an extent the hostility.of 411 French Govern ment is carried against those who_clare to think for themselvei :—A venerable ecclesiastic,who for e)Oen years had been Curate of a small commune in Alsace, was ordered some time ago to appear before one of his superiors, who informed him that the order ema nated from a higher authority, and that he was ac cused, first, of not having done his duty during the last elections; secondly,with being on terms of friend ship with Liberals, patticularly the electors of his commune, who did not vote agreeably to the sense of Ministers ; and, thirdly, he was charged with read ing the Constitutionnel. His defence was, that he never meddled in political affairs ; that the men of his commune, with whom he associated, were esti mable citizens, whose friendship and beneficence af forded him the meatis of living comfortably, not. withstanding the small salary he received from the Government ; and that one of his friends,. who sub scribed for the Constitutionnel, was accustomed to send that paper to him after having read it. The superior dismissed him after a warning, accompanied! by menaces; and a few days after the Curate received an official notice to go to another parish, and was ' obliged to quit a place. where he had been cherished and honoured. • OTOCK ItItCHANGE, 'WWI LVE O'CLOCK.

Harnburgh Papers to the 12th inst. fully confirm the previously received intelligence of the successe“S the Greeks. The evacuation of the Mor.ea by the Turks is stated both from Vienna and Constantinople ; accounts from the latter place state that the Persians have gained a signal victory over the Tulks near Trebisond. They even go so far as to say that the Turks lost 50,000 men. The following are extracts.: EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM CONSTAXiIXOPLE, Madrid Papers to the 10th inst. have been received. They contain an important document on the subject of Spanish Finance, and an account of the opening of the Sessions of the Extraordinary Cortes on the 10th inst. by the limo in person; and it is worthy of remark that the QUEEN, of whose bad state of health we have heard so much lately, was also present. Her MAJESTY was accompanied by the Infanta Donna MARIA FRANCISCA DE Asis and the Princess of BEIRA. After the preliminary 'ceremonies were gone through, the KING, having taken his .place on the throne, read the following speech : " SENORES—Circumstances truly important have induced me to draw around me the representatives of the nation, who possess so many claims to its con fidence. My own is revived on beholding them thus assembled in this sanctuary of the laws, where they are about to apply an immediate remedy to the urgent necessities of the country. " The Cortes, guided by the sublime and benevo lent Weds of producing the common advantages of mankind, and impelled by the political principle that to place in full force the spirit of international right and commerce, and of mutual and reciprocal assist ance, is labouring for the welfare of the nation, will concur in making arrangements with those States in which are to be found the guarantees of our national dignity, and of the bonds of social bodies. - 6 ' The Cortes, in their late ordinary Session, de voted a portion of their labours to the regulation of the army, being convinced that the military law should be made to correspond with the fundamental law. This conviction, seconded by the just claims of the armed citizens, will speedily put a period to these pending labours. " Judicial power, -though it be that which most firmly secures subordination, legal obedience, and even loyalty itself, may at the same time, by perver sion, become the most terrible of all things, particu larly when it decides on the honour, the liberty, and the lift of the citizen; and since this power is consti tuted in guarantee of their rights, it will necessarily follow that the reform of the legislation in all its parts, regulated in the spirit of fundamental princi ples, must concur to complete the work of our happy restoration. With this view the Cortes will consider attentively the code of criminal procedure in order to the better and more speedy administration of justice in that department. The,Cortes, Senor, rejoice to receive from your Majesty the testimony of your confidence; and rely ing on the energy of the Government,, and on the in timate and harmonious union of all lovers of liberty, they concur with your Majesty in predicting the ter mination of the misfortunes under which the country is labouring, particularly as the sentiments which your Majesty has just expressed are indicative of that virtue and firmness which are, no less in Monarchs than in political bodies, the only sure guarantee of the public prosperity and happiness." In the Sitting of the Bth, an application was made by the Secretary of State for the War Department, for an augmentation of the Army, in consequence of the present state of the country. According to his communication, the present force of the Army is 51,000 Infantry, and 6,500 Cavalry, to which the Government is desirous that the Cortes should make an addition of 57,956 Infantry, and 7,637 Cavalry, to include the replacing of the soldiers retiring after the completion of their period of service, which had been decreed by the preceding Cortes. This measure was stated to be necessary, not only for the important services the Army has to perform, but also for the public advantage, and the consolidation of the Con stitutional System. "The enemies of the Constitution, employing every means which can be suggested by a passion as bar barous as infatuated, have succeeded in enticing into the career of crime a considerable number of Spa niards. The misfortunes which the disorders have produced in Catalonia, Arragon, and other frontier provinces, weigh heavy on my heart and on yours. It. is for you to apply an efficacious remedy to such lamentable disasters. The country demands the as sistance of numerous and vigorous arms to restrain at once the audacity of her rebel sons ; and the brave and loyal soldiers who are serving her in the geld of honour call for vigorous and effectual measures to ' insure the happy success of the enterprises in which they are employed. " Nations mutually entertain a respect for each other in proportion to their power, and to the energy they are capable of displaying under peculiar circum stances. Spain, from her situation, the advantages of her coasts, her productions, and the virtues of her inhabitants, merits a distinguished place in the poli tical fabric of Europe. Everything conspires to secure to her that imposing and vigorous attitude, which must obtain for her from other countries the consi deration to which she is justly entitled. Everything combines to point out the necessity of forming new relations with those States which know how to esti mate our true riches and resources. " I need not call to your attention the glories and the merits of die Spanish Army, the model of disin terestedness and patriotism. The heroic sacrifices it has made for national independence are well known ; all Europe is acquainted with the services it has ren dered in the cause of liberty and the country. Those citizen warriors call for the establishment of military • ordinances and regulations in harmony with the fun damental code, and the improvements of the art of war. The ordinary Cortes were occupied during their late meeting with this interesting subject, and its con tinuation is one of the objects to which your attention must iu the present Session be directed. " As we are already in possession of a Criminal Code, and as the promulgation of so necessary a work relieves those who have to administer justice from the immense fatigue of lOoking for it in the innumerable •olumes by which it was formerly obscured, it be comes absolutely necessary that the code of legal procedure, modelled in the same spirit, should com plete the removal of the ob.tacies which are still op posed to its prompt dispensation. After some conversation, this application was re ferred to the consideration of the War Committee. We have received the French Papers of Monday. They are full of speculations on the probable mea sures of the approaching Congress, according to the party views of the respective Journals : the Ultras, I however, do not seem quite so arrogant on the sub ject as they were a shott time ago. The Journal des Debar, inliscussing the right of other Powers to is teller* with Spain, says—" It is France alone, which, bordering on Spain, has a right to decide,iithether " Those, Senores, are the important subjects to the • 4 , • 1' . • , . , • • • I • I • , passer from the PlNCidep dOteilit returning home across the Atlentid of Gibraltar, has been effected months, a celerity not common even ustorned to such long voyages... • uvantageof Iso se7tostlettitteorith our own vessels, expeditions to such :emote countries, is one I the benefits wkiels areprocored us by the free. dom which our flag enjoys.: 3, A French brigantine his also arrtvell,.vetish sa n e ,' on the 7th of September from Calamata, in 1 1 :e Morea, where the Insurrectional Guvernment of ch., Greeks for some time rtsided : this vessel confirms the bad net: respecting them which we have already learnt from the public Papers, and adds that magi of their vessels are now dispersed about those seas.

FROM THE NEW YORK DAILY ADVERTISER, SEPT 19. His Britannic Majesty's ship Iphigenia, Commc dore Sir Robert Mends, arrived yesterday in elevo i days from Havannah, on her passage to.

Whilst on the coast, the Commodore lent a Lieutenant and 25 seamen to the Augusta, for the purpose of cruizing against the slave traders, and they succeeded in cap. curing one vessel under Swedish colours, which was condemned by the Mixed Commission at Sierra Lone, it having been proved she was in reality Spaniql,be longing to the Havannah. The Iphigenia will sail in a couple of days for England. The Boston Avertiser states that Mr. llatl,ews has arrived at Providence, and proceeded to Boston.

BRITISH NORTH WEST EXPEDITION. MONTREAL, SEPTEMBER In addition to the communication which appeared in the Montreal Herald of the 17th ultimo, relative to the Arctic Expedition under the orders of Li:lite nant Franklin, we are happy to be empowered eto state, upon the authority of more recent art ivals, that the Expedition had arrived at the Factory in Hu& son's Bay, and was about to embark for England. It appears that the toils and the sufferings of the Expe dition have been of a most trying description; and that, if they do not exceed belief, they were at least of such a nature as almost to overcome the stoutest heart, and deter all future attempts of a similar ten dency. It was fitted out in the summer of Isl 9, and in the course of the following year the Expedi tion was enabled, by a liberal aid and reinforcement from the North %Vest Company, to advance to the shores of the Great Rear Lake, which we think is situated in about 67 degrees north latitude, where it encamped and wintered. In the ensuing spring it approached the Copper Mine River. In forcing their melancholy way through the untravelled wilds be tween the Copper Mine River and the Great Rear Lake, they fell completely short of provisions, and were for many days under the necessity of subsisting upon sea weeds, or a powder produced from pound ing the withered bones of the food whica they Lad already consumed. Tuesday, the KING visited Windsor Castle. His MAJESTY passed through all the alartments, and seemed minutely to examine their state of repair.— His MaJame appeared in most excellent health.

" Since the last post from the Morea very bad news for the Porte has been received. It is confirmed that the Morea is again evacuated by the Turks, and that their expedition has cost them very dear.— The accounts from the neighbourhood of Trebisond are equally unfavourable. The Persians have gained a great battle, and the number of the Turks killed or taken prisoners is stated at fifty thousand. From all this it should seem that the Porte has hardly ever been in a more critical situation than at this moment. An the measures that are adopted indicate that the Imperial Treasury is exhausted. A Firman has just been published, which is directed against luxury, and orders all gold and silver to be delivered in to the Treasurer. Receipts are to be given for it, which looks like a beginning of Turkish paper currency.— Thus the Sultan is obliged to introduce European in novations, which may place him in a very embar rassing situation if he should attempt to pay the Mus selmen in paper. Some consider this embarrassment of the Treasury as a consequence of the extermina tion of the rich Greeks." VIENNA, OCTOBER 2. It appears from highly credible accounts that the Turks have been forced to retreat from the Horn by want of provisions, and that they suffered severely in their retreat from the attacks of the Greeks. For these four weeks past many Greeks have passed through these parts in the most wretched condition, having been obliged to leave Russia by order of the Russian Government. The German Correspondent asserts, that Mr. Cats- SING will be present at the Congress, and that he will proceed direct to Verona. Exchange on London-30 11 }-37 Sti.
