FRENCH PAPDRS. OFFICIAL, VEfilt TUE MOWITEUR or SATURDAY LAST. • .. PARIS, NOVEMBER 50. Today, at eight o'clock in the evening, the King received, in his Cabinet, the simple Deputation of the Chamber of Deputies, composed of the President and the two Secretaries, who, conformably to the orders of his Majesty, delivered to him the Address voted by the Chamber of Deputies, in a Secret Committee, on the 26th November. It is in the following terms : " Stax—Your faithful subjects, the Deputies of the Depart ments, approach the foot of the Throne, with the profound esprosion of their devotion and respect; to which they are sappy to be able to add that of truth, which a legitimate King Is alone worthy of bearing. Your sorrows, Sire have been those of all France ; she cos. soles herself,with her King, on the sacred cradle in which reposes th heir of oar love and that of your xample. This infant will accomplish the prOmises of his birth, e and the desires of your tenderness. Ile will grow up under your eyes for the public happiness; and, full of gout mind, he will unite alt hearts. 64 We congratulate you, Sire, upon your continued amicable relations with Foreign Powers, in the just confidence that a peace an precious has not been purchased by sacrifices incompatible with the honour of the nation, and the dignity of your Crown. " The benevolent thoughts of your Majesty extend to all the, calamities which afflict liurope. Foreigners, as well•as French. mien, bless the protecting hand which aids them, for the honour of humanity. Let religion, let the interest of subjects, weigh Sully in the scale of a generous policy, and these calamities will Iliad a term. 0 Thanks are doe, Sire, to your tutelary foresight I Our menaced frontiers invoke it in their peril; they solicit the most effectual and rigorous measures, to close every channel of intro duction to the contagion. " The prospect of our internal situation ; the progress of in dustry and of the arts; the stew life promised to commerce by Increased futilities of communication ; the riches of the Public Treasury, which increase our credit ; the progressive reduction Of taxation, which a more extensive economy will still further alleviate; the hope of renouncing provisional measures, and the first steps made, under your auspices, towards a regular system of Administration; the order and discipline of a faithful Army, which honour, and a love of its King, have invincibly attached to its banners; all these features united, form, Sire, a picture of general prosperity, well calculated to affect the paternal heart of your Majesty. " Organs of the gratitude and filial piety of your subjects, we do not fear that we shall diminish a joy so pure, by causing to be heard at the foot of the Throne the respectful .complaims of the agricultural interests, that fruitful nurse of France. Their continually increasing distress in the departments of the East, Vest, and South, proves the inefficacy of the tardy precautions which are opposed to the fatal introduction of foreign corn. " An interest not less urgent affects the first necessities of your subjects. Full of those generous sentiments which your Majesty has known how t read in their hearts, they claim the completion of your gracious views. They await those necessary institutions without which the Charter cannot exist. They de mand of its immortal author that the whole of our laws may be placed in harmony with the fundamental law. " Then, Sire, all the wishes of your Majesty will he accom plished; the passions will calm of themselves, and mistrust will vanish. " The monarchical and constitutional spirit, which is the spirit of France, will attain, without effort, that unity of views which your high wisdom recommends to us. A Government constant in its principles, and firm and sincere in its course, will insure the glory and stability of that Throne, which has been so nobly styled by your Alajesty, the protector of public liberty." To which the king replied : I know the contents of the Address which you present to me. " I know the difficulties which attend the sale of corn. Not withstanding the recollection of a recent dearth, I have for the first time restrained the importation of foreign grain. The laws have been executed, but no law can prevent the inconvenience which arises from a superabundant harvest : the Whole of Europe experiences it at this 11101111:11t.- " The ameliorations, a plan of which the Chamber has traced, speak in favour of the acts of my 6..veritnient. They can only be preserved and multipliell by the loyal concurrence and wis dom of the Chambers. -- . 4 In exile and persecuthm; I have sup ported my rights, the honour of my race, and that of the ench name. On the throne, surrounded by my People, I feel indignant at the bare .upposition that I can ever sacrifice the honour of the Nation, and the dignity of my Crown. " It is pleasing to me to believe that the majority of those who voted this Address, have not duly conuidered the Import of all its expressions. If they had had time to consider them, they would not have hazarded a reflection, that, as a Kiug, 1 ought nut to characterize—as a father, I wish to forget." VENICE, 'NOVEMBER 14. Apprehensions are entertained of a general revolt in Servia. Serious differences have at ken at Constantinople between the two Chief Functionaries of the State, the Grand Vizir and the Captain Pacha, which, it is thought, will lead to a change in the Ministry. The Vizir is for peace, and the other fur war.: A Morning Paper, on the authority of a private letter from Paris, says—" The report gains ground of a more intimate alliance between England and Austria and as conjectures are ever afloat when there is the slightest basis to build on, some go so far as to assert, that negotiations are on foot for a marriage between his Majesty GEORGE IV. and the widow of NAPOLEON; and what is more, the parties are so positive in it, that no argument can persuade them to the contrary. Russia will undoubtedly go to war with Turkey, or insist on a peace worse than a war." " You may keep what you like and return what you please." This is a handsome offer at any time, but particularly after the Drawing of the Lottery, and such in fact is the offer of the Contractors, who will allow the Public to return their Tickets 'or Share; at a very small reduction of price, after Next Tuesday, when a Prize of FIVE THOUSAND POUNDS at least is titre to be drawn. The demand, as may be expected, is most rapid, and certain dashing Speculators want to take them away by Hundreds, which the Office keepers endeavour to prevent, as it is their object to oblige as many of the Public as possible. COVENT-GARDM—The Two Gentlemen of Verona was performed at this Theatre last night. An apology was made for the absence of Miss HALL/tuns. We noticed yesterday that this young Lady was taken ill during the performance of the same l'iece on Satur day. The apology made for her absence last night, stated that her illness had since increased, and the indulgence of the audience was requested for a yoUng Lady, who had been for some time preparing for her appearance before the Public, and had kindly con sented, in this extremity, to undertake the part sus tained by Miss HALLANDE. This apology was *ell sreceived. The young Lady made her debut, and per- 1 fectly reconciled the audience to the substitute. Her name, we understand, is ABBOT. She sang the Tongs with taste and science, and in a style that commanded universal approbation. The new Afterpiece of The nue Pages of Frederick the Great, concluded the amening's entertainment. The House was crowded tom, every part, and Ole whole went off with gym eclat. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. TUESDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1621, TILE FUNDS. --- STOCK EXCHANGE, ONE O'CLOCK. Consols opened at 77% for Account, which is a 1 decline of 1 4 per cent. from the closing price of yes- , terday. Consols for Money have been done as low as 78 7 / 8 . Large Money sales have been made for some days past by the Stock Capitalists and the Public in general, for this day (the shutting of Con sols and Navy); in consequence, the market is likely to - suffer a further depression. The price of Consols at the last settling day not suiting the time-specula tors, very extensive operations were made for the Ja nuary Account: the fall this morning has defeated their expectations, and several Bull Accounts have been sold out at a great loss.—Current Prices: Bank Stock 236 1 / 2 -3 per Cent.

The French Papers of Saturday last have arrived. We have given, in a preceding column, the Address of the Chamber of Deputies to the lizxc, and his. MAJESTY'S Answer, which reached us at too late an hour for insertion yesterday. Much clamour took place in the assembly when it was voted. M. DE SERBS is said to have mounted the tribune three times, in order to oppose different parts of the Address; and M. LAINE spoke at great length, but with evident marks of disapprobation from the right side. M. DE VILLCLE did not vote. Of the three passages which Ministers wished to change, the first was—" We trust (nous arons la rotfance) that in the treaties which have taken place, the honour of Fiance and the dignity of your Crown, have not been corn • prafnised."—" You may well say," replied the Mi. nisterial people, " that you trust ; but the expression means that you distrust (volts ave.: mrflance)—an expression unbeComing on your part, and misplaced with respect to the Kixo."—The rejoinder was strictly constitutional—that the expression did not apply to the KING, but to his Ministers; and M. LABOURDON NAYE (a Royalist), addressing himself to the latter, said—" Yes, this is the meaning of the phrase; an 41 it is fit Europe should know that you have lost the confidence of the Nation." The second passage upon 'which there was a dis cussion relateJ to the agricultural distresses, the im• portation of foreign grain, and the low price of that which is of native produce. In this passage M. Dr: iticitELtEu is supposed to be aimed at ; and the free entrance of corn from the Black Sea reprobated. We do not think those very wise politicians, who would enhance the price of any article of by artificial restrictions. In England, which is a country that exports its manufactures, such restrictions are injurious. In France, from whence, in comparison, few manufactured articles are exported, and produce of every kind is generally equtil to consumption, the mischief resulting from restrictions may be less; but most undoubtelly, if France means to contest with us in foreign mat kets the sale of manufactured articles, she must by all possible means endeavour to lower the price of the necessaries of life, in order that the wages of her manufacturing artisans may be also lowered, and that thus they may be able to com pensate, by the cheapness of their goods, for their looser texture. The third passage opposed by Ministers, and car ried by their antagonists, is that which demands the complete execution of the Charter. The Liberty of the Press is probably the chief point here contested, upon which it is superfluous to deliver an opinion to Englishmen; but it is of importance to state, that the numbers were—for the Address so offensive to the KING, 176 ; and against it, 98. The following are extracts from the Papers re ceived this morning: CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES. 31. SATZ; PRISIDENT. SITTING OF TUE 30TH OF NOVEMBER. The announcement that a Ministerial communica tion would be made this day, attracted a more Mt merous assemblage of the Deputies than has been known since the opening of the Session. Notwith standing the printed order of the day only stated there would be a public sitting, without specifying the object of it., and the Minister of Finances was alone on the Ministerial bench, it was remarked that there was much agitation in ♦arious pArts of the Assembly. The Last proces-verbal was read by M. DIL CASTEL. BAJAC. one of the Secretaries, and adopted. Several Petitions were referred to a Special Commission. The PRESIDENT.—The President has received let ters which he will now communicate to the Cham ber—(A most marked attention now prevaikd). " M. Pannonvr—You have done me the honour to ask the day and hour when his Majesty would receive the Address adopted by the Chamber of Deputies, in answer to his Majesty's Speech at the opening of the Session. His Majesty has com manded me to inform you, that it is his wish this Address should be presented to him to-morrow evening, at eight o'clock, by yourself, ILPrtil,dent, and the two Secretaries of the Chant ber—f ilents astoniuimeret to the rght and WV —conformably to tbs 2d and 3d Articles of the Law.—.

The Constitutionel says, the most profound silence reigned in all parts of the Hall ; but the Gazette de France states, that there was the most lively agitation on both sides of the Chamber. The second letter read by the President related to I the election of seven Deputies to the vacant seats of the Chamber. The sitting commenced at one o'clock, and was adjourned at two. PARIS, NOVEMBER 30. Yesterday evening, at eight o'clock, the King trans acted business with the Duc de Richelieu. The King did not take his usual promenade. Yesterday evening, the Duc de Richelieu and the other Ministers assembled at the house of the Keeper of the Seals. This evening, at eight o'clock, M. Rave; accom panied by Count de llethisy and liergolay, the Se cretaries, were conducted by his Excellency the Mi nister of the Interior, and had the honour of present ing the Address of the Chamber to the king. A Spanish Colonel arrived in Paris a few days ago, charged by his Government with a negotiation with the Government of France for the purchase of transpoits and other vessels. SPAIN. IRUN. NOVEMBER 25. EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER. " From the latest intelligence that we !Ave re. ceived from Madrid, we learn that the tranquillity of the Capital is only maintained by the vigilance of authority. Patrols of Infantry, Cavalry, and Militia, traverse the streets all night to prevent popular tu mults. We are assured that General Morino will return to New Spain on an important mission." BARCELONA, NOVEMBER 17. The number of victims is becoming less consider able, because the number of inhabitants is much di minished. The malady is, however, still deadly ; According to the Bulletin, the deaths on the 12th instant were forty-seven ; and on the 15th, thirty-six. Thus there is no doubt that the malady approaches its termination, for there are still 50,000 inhabitants in the city. The departure of the French Physicians is post• paned to the 90 th instant. The delay has been occa sioned by the illness of M. Jouy. Five militiamen, who were on guard at the gate of St. Antonio, fell ill all at once. They were put to bed in the guard house itself, and expired in twelve hours. Thirty-two Piedmontese or Neapolitan Officers, and a considerable number of French ex-Officers, are here hi the most frightful distress. N AP LES. EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER. " We are assured that, in consequence of a new Convention with Austria, the troops of that Power will not remain in this kingdom more than three years. Their number at present in the two Sicilies exceeds 40,000. The outrages of the brigands have been consider ably diminished by the activity of the Royal Cara bineers and the Provincial Police." TURKEY. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM CONSTANTINOPLE, DATED ocroseft 2s. ". We have here little business, and little money, but perfect tranquillity. Further letters from Russia continue to be tranquilizing: we know nothing cer tain, but we still hope. " Hostilities have commenced between the Turks and Persians: it is added, that the Turks have been beaten. This :ircumstance will prevent the Asiatic troops from coming to Europe. The day before yes terday, the Government sent thirty persons into the different provinces of Turkey in Asia, to snake levies, which are to march against the Persians." The Augsburg Gazette says—" Letters from Con stantinople of the 27th October, state that when the Sultan was apprized of the invasion of the Persians, he sent one of his Equerries to the Court of the Shah to appease the storm. The Pachas on the frontiers had, at the same time, orders to do everything possi ble to resist the attack. The troops last arrived from Asia continued their march towards Greece." " It is also stated the Divan (of which the Deputies of the Janissaries form a part) had resolved not to yield to the last demand of Russia. The influence of the English Minister (Lord Strangford) is much di minished, and the Porte distrusts all Christian Envoys. —lt is hoped, however, that this resolution may be changed, but the Janissaries are only anxious for war. A great catastrophe appears approaching the Otto man Empire." The Gazette ilniversdk says—." News hat been re ceived from Constantinople of the 28th ult. The De puties from Servia, which had long been there, have been arrested, by order of the Grand Seignior." A rich caravan, going from Belgrade to Salonica, had been pillaged by the Turks, near Nissa. The Nuremberg Gazette says, that ten Janissaries were beheaded at Constantinople on the 10th ult. for disturbing the public tranquillity, and several others were ordered to be bastinadoed.—The Greeks are said to have raised the siege of Patras. CORFU, OCTOBER 26. EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER. H A general Congress of the Greeks wdl soon pke •r i place in the Peloponnesns.

Instead of calmly satisfying the Deputies that the Govern. merit had not been unmindful of the national honour, however much circumstances might appear to coon. tenance such a suspicion, he assumes the language of an absolute Sovereign, and talks of his exile and his persecutions as if they would justify any conduct he might please to pursue. " In exile and persecution; be says, "I have supported my rights, the honour of my race, and that of the French name. On the Throne, sm. rounded by my people, I feel indignant at the bare supposition that I can ever sacrifice the honour of the Nation, and the dignity of my Crown." This may, perhaps, be considered by some as a proof of energs and determination, but energetic measures by a So. vereign in the situation of Loots XVIII. would be better directed against any other body of men thau the Chamber of Deputies ; and a quarrel with Aus tria or Russia would not endanger his Ma.ntsrfs Crown half so much, as an avowed opposition to the measures, or a contempt for the remonstrance, of the National Representatives. It is a matter of curious conjecture to know slut line of conduct will be adopted by the Chamber d Deputies on their next meeting. The Censorship m the Press restrains every Journal from making the slightest comment on this affair; but as it exempts the proceedings of the Chamber of Deputies, we via with some anxiety for the next report of their pro• ceedings. In the meantime, it is said, that immech• ately after the KING'S Answer, the Ministers tendered their resignation, which his MAJESTY refused toe. cept : it is, however, extremely improbable that tley should retain their situations, after their administ* tion has been condemned in the Chamber of Deptie by a majority of 176 to 98. The latest intelligence from Turkey strengths the opinion that a war between that Power and Roil is inevitable. It is stated in letters from Conn* tinople, of the 27th ult. that the Ottoman Porte to refused to accede to the demands of Russia. Stases this not the case, the opportunity for realizing the b. ling project of the great CATHERINE, is too tempting, even for a man of ALEXANDER'S moderation, to suffers to escape him. The Greek:have been in open insane' tion for several months without the Turks being ablest make any decisive head against them ; and now that the Persians are said to have entered Asiatic Turkey, the Throne of the Ottoman Empire is shakes to its very foundation. It only requires Russia to declare war against Turkey, and of all European Powers has always been the most ready to go to war to er tend the limits of her empire, and the Emperors brother, CONSTANTINE, whose name and ducal were all prepared for such a destiny, may soon 14 proclaimed Emperor or Viceroy of European Turk, in Constantinople.
