MifLTA. Letters of last month from Malta state, that ap plications had been :nide by the Merchants at Malta to General MAITLAND, which were renewed on his arrival from Florence. The General said, that the, determination of his Majesty's Ministers roust be waited for. Up to the year 1811, the duties levied at Malta on imports were scarcely sine half per cent. A new tariff was established, which raised the duties on exports and imports to one and a half per cent.= The interior of Milt.' affords a very limited consump tion ; it-can only be commercial place in the way of transit, for which its situation is so advantageous. Augmentation of duties on the passage of goods, it it urged, must affect the trade. From such causes ` Malta is ceasing to be the depot which it was expected to be. Scarcely two small vessels in a year find lading at Malta for this country. Parliament has opened the trade of India to Malta ; butt the French, Americans, and others, supply the Mt:diturraneau with East India produce. FRENCH PAPERS. PARIS, NOVEMBER 19. The following is the Address of the Deputies to the King, which was read to his Majesty yesterday, by M. de Rene. " SlMl—Your faithful subjects, the Deputies of the Departments, bring to the toot of your throne the homage of their respect and their love. " We arrived here with our souls penetrated by the misfortunes that afflict our country; we are grate ful to your Alajesty Inr the word of consolation and hope, which you have caused us to hear. The exhaustion of long wan, the disasters of two invasions, the pressure of tributes, the occupa tion of our territory, all these evils are aggravated by a severe scarcity. In the bosom of countries the most fertile, your people have experienced the mise ries of famine. a This crisis has revealed great private and public virtues. Your Government, faithful to the prin ciples or the administration, have perserved a tree citculation of prnvisiohs. and carried its assistance to every place which was menaced with want. Your personal donations, Sire, and those of your family. together with the benevolent acts of citizens, have been incessantly multiplied ; the suffei ings which could not be healed have been endured with ad •thirable resignation; and if in any quarter patience was not able to conquer distress, the firmness of the Magistrates, the appearance of the public force, , • promptly restored the order which was fur a moment intet re pied. a The national spirit is strengthened by the expe rience of ns•slonune; the bonds which connect the Monarch with his subjects, and citizen with citizen. have been rendered more compact. In these dispo sitions the nurnernus Electoral Colleges were as sembled ; every where order and tranquillity prevail ed ; tree and nation '1 elections, proved the unio n of ' doe people with the King ; they stewed that a sincere effectioa for your dynasty, for that charter, which you. hay, given us, has struck the deepest roots into the hearts of Frenchmen. , a Thus are displayed the motives of our security . the guarantees of our stability, and your Majesty has azcoedingly thought; that Justice may soon resume bet accustomed course. • « The progress of ibings, and the necessity arising from ear situation, confirm the hopes which we have received from the mouth of your Majesty. Your people submitted with grief, bet in 'Ocoee. to the .Trasies of November, liploi, after baying made the greatest efforts faithfully to esteem them ; alter ea brinitOocyears have infinitely added to the severity of their explicit conditions, we cannot believe that they • conceal.esorbitant consequences, which none of the couwacing parties could have anticipated. The wis dom of your Majesty will be understood and second . . . ad bi the enlightened politics which preside over the 'destinies of the other nationeot Europe ; an equitable . • limit es Übe fixed to enormous sacrifices ; the jieriod . 'of the ton oppressive occupation of our country will be diminished l' our territory will he liberated. Then, ;alone. France will taste of pate; her credit will be ebasolidated, her internal prosperity restored, and Me boreal( will resumer her rank among nations.' ~ " The spirit of the charter and national honour (save breathed tbrogbout the communications which your Majesty bas de pod to make to us upon the in *utioas or the law prepared by your order for * re gruituunt.of the army. All your subjects, Sire, an swer to the voice of a Sovereign who is pre-eminently French; nothing will be consideredll them as a sa crifice which goes to secure to the crown its dignity, and to the country its independence. 66 The increase of expenditure which the execution of this law will demand, and the miscellaneous charges to which the Treasury must be liable, will be found partly compinsated by- the system of goo. *nay which your Majesty pursues, and which tem _ peony mishatuaeshave rendered more than ever im perative upon us. - . 66 The Chamber of Depaties, has constantly parti cipated in the zeal of your Majesty for the re•ssta blishment of the French Church I already in pre aediug &Woes the Chamber has relieved its pressing ,weemsideshy several mos, the wise distribution of (Idlielailltletwaptaly. its Ministers with an honourable newsmen, 'The sem lases which your Majesty has allallonnokfeemalid,, as *fry are upon the charter, end *Pee the egitleielt kswi of the Ongdom, will este blisb perpetual 'haraiony bitwewl .tbe Church and .State.

In the conviction of the good of which the heart of your Majesty is the source, your Majesty may well say,* I feel that lam loved by my people.' Happy the nation whose King can pay to himself this con scious mummy with the universal assent of the people. Yes, Sire, the love of your people surrounds you. their confidence is increased by every thing which your Majesty does. This reciprocal co.ifiJrnce be coming every day more intimate. will give to our Government a force superior to that which might spring from temporary laws rendered sometimes ne cessary by circumstances; it will efface even the traces of our long misfortunes. " May Heaven, in repairing our losses, soon crown our wiales with new heirs of your spirit as well as of your rights, thus granting us new pledges of pros perity and glory 1 4‘ One of your children, Sire, so worthy of the same, has been traversing our provinces. sowing every where upon his journey the seeds of concord and peace. Together with the expression of his sa tis,action of his King, he receives also that of the na tiunal gratitude ; it is the patetnal heart of your Ma jesty ; it is the consecutive spirit of our institutions And our liberties that the French revere and bless in your August nephew." His Majesty's answer was in.the following words : —" I am profoundly touched with the sentiments you express towards me in the. name of the Chamber of Deputies. I accept, with delight, the happy presages tltoy offer. To realize them, I rely upop a unison of opinions, cf deliberations, and of conduct, which can alone secure the repose of France." An affair litio that of M. Fuaides has lately been before the Assize Court at Rochelle. A Mr. Bal. longer. a man of very estimable character, residing near Rochelle, together with his daughter, his son, and a servant maid, were found assassinated in his house, on the fith of December last. Some time passed before any clue was found to the murderers ; at length they were discovered and convicted upon' the following strong circumstantial evidence ; they were two brothers of the name of Brund ; they had owed some money to Ballanger ; they were proved to have been absent from their homes on the night the assassination , was committed, and that they did not return before day-break ; that they washed their clothes in water, which being 'bus made bloody, they poured into the privy ; that they hid in their posses sion knives like those, the blades of which were found in the bodies of the victims ' • that four or five days hadafter the assassination they paid a number of their creditors in half-crown pieces, pieces which Ballenger had received a great quantity of the day before he was murdered ; that several of the pieces were found spotted with blood. The brother Bru net endeavoured to chew that they bad received those pieces from persons whom they named, but - in this they failed. They were found Guilty, and were ex etuted on the 13th inst. THE EVENING STAR. t! li4lifBl7Roll AND Dffir4 MAILS. IitUSSELS, NOVEMUIt to. A funeral service was performed this morning in the Protestant Church of the Ancient Chapel of the Court, on account of the death of her Royal High. nets the Princess Charlotte of Wales. All the Eit lid' who were present at this pious ceremony were in deep mourning. A part of the Church was hung with black. fitted up with crape. The silent and devout grief of all who were present gave to this ceremony es air of gloom and solemnity. It is said that a warm altercation between his Royal Highness the Prince of Orange and the Commissary. meral of War has led to the resignation of the lag. ter. If we may believe public report. what hasgives rue to this altercation is, the granting of favours to , some recommendatioos io prettiest* to others veep honourable to their authors, and which ought to have been of great weight with him to whom they were made. Several linen manufacturers of the district of Cans bray having represented to the King, that a great num ber of thread looms was unemployed for want of means to buy thread, his Majesty, on the Report of the Mi nister of the Interior, has ordered, by a Decree of , the 6th of thi; month, that the suns of 100,000 Dumb florins shall be advanced to these manufacturers. HAGUE. NOVEMBER le. His Majesty arrived here from Brussels this after. noon. STUTTGART). NOVEMBER 6. The prevailing tone of the public mind at Stmt. gard is a kind co suppressed consternation. The re moval of many hundred persons filling public offices from the capital into provincial towns, must clash with the interests of many persons. This great and decisive measure, it is said, will be takes without the consultation pith the Privy Council. In poets), it seems that a new system is about to be Introduced into the Government. Novaasnaa 13:—The publication of many impor-1 tent Edicts. it is said, may be shortly mineetelli they relate to the new organisation of the administration, the army, and the fir.ances. It is thought that a new Diet of the Kingdom of Wurtemberg will be con voked at the same time. For Ewe days past, they have been busily at work in tie Royal Printing Of fice. The printers are not Allowed to have commu nication with any body, and the greatest secrecy is observed. M. Calla, who acted a very honourable part in the last Wtartembeg Diet, where he was one of the most *Mutts defenders of the throne and of well•regulated liberty, against the aristocracy of the mediatized Princes and that of tl►e ancient Provincial States, has received from his Majesty letters patent of nobnity.

The provincial papers received tl•is mornirg cor tinue to describe the solemn manner in which the Feast of Sorrow was observed in their respective di!- trios on Wednesday last : there was but one feeling every where—one uniform expression of deep and unfeigned sorrow throughout the land. Business was entirely suspended—shops shit as or the Sabbath— private houses were all closet'—and devotion uni versally mingled with grief thrrughout the whole Empire. The Paris Papers of the 20th and 2lst have ar rived since our last. The Address of the Chamber of Dzputies to the KING, (of which we took notice on Saturday) will be found at length in a preceding column. It re sembles very much in spirit that of the Chamber of Peers ; but is more distinct on those parts on which, to foreign nations, distinctness is most desirable. The consequences of the treaty of 1815, it denounces with a degree of blunt severity, which the more cour teous Members of the Peerage, however similar may be their feelings on the subject, have not ventured to display. Some people," say the Deputies, u submitted with grief, but in silence, to the Treaties of Novem ber, 1815. After having made the greatest efforts faithfully to execute them ; after calamitous years have infinitely added to the severity of their explicit conditions, we cannot believe that they conceal exor bitant consequences, which none of the contracting parties could have anticipated.. The wisdom of your I Majesty will be understood and seconded by the en- I lightened politics which preside over the destinies of the other nations. of Europe; an equitable limit will be fixed to enormous sacrifices ; the period of the too oppressive occupation of our country will be dinr fished ; our territory will be liberated. Then, alone, France will taste of peace; her credit will be consoli dated, her internal prosperity restored, and she will resume her rank among nations." Now, as to the Treaty of November, 1815, the modification of which is thus so loudly called for, what was it that it really prescribed ? A gradual repayment of one five-hundredth part of the expen diture which France wantonly brought upon the Al lies—a restitution to some of them of money forcibly extorted from them and carried into France—and an occupation of some fortresses, as a security that the Treaty of 1815 should not be immediately broken, as that of 1814 had been. Of these three provisions, the ffreo's Speech was understood to allude only to "one—the restitution of the French exactions from terrain of the Allied Powers (the indemnities); but the Chamber plainly remonstrate against two, the occupation as well as the indemnities; and they even leave it in doubt, whether they do not also mean the contributions, of which England has yet to see the first here. Are these conelitioos to fie branded as exorbitant, and thrown off with reproach, because it is more convenient to keep than to restore ? Can it be forgotten bow far all that has been exacted from France falls short of that full retribution which strict jostles demanded, but which a healing policy has thought it fit to spare her t The ruin of France was not the aim of the Allied Powers. Mer existence, as a great and properous na tion, was deemed essential to the happiness of the civiKzed world. She was spared, from a conscien. tious regard to the interest of those nations whom she had conceived it for her own interest to lay waste and ruin. The Arany of Occupation has only two objects— to pretreat a civil war in France t and to prevent the domestic tranquillity of France from being purchased at too high a price, namely, by an attack upon her neighbours. The Allied Sovereigns are wise enough to reflect that the anxiety expressed by France, for a removal of their troops, being coupled with a deter mination to augment her own, furnishes them with abundant grounds for postponing the departure cf the Army of Occupation to a longer period than they might think eligible under a different aspect of the spi rit in ithich the French Chambers have assembled. The _-4th of October being the anniversary of the deliverance of Moscow, it was celebrated by a solemn religions service, which was distinguished by the pre sence of the Emperor Ap-TANDER, the two Estraasses, and the Princes of the imperial Family. After ser. vice, the Eareattost laid the first stoim.of a new and ' magnificent church, which he has ordered to IA built andNiedicated to our SAVIOUR. • - It is naettioned in the Franifore Gatielte, as a mat ter of rumour in the political circles of Germany, that in August next year, there will be a great camp laser Prague, to which the Emperors of RUSSIA and urratA, -tbe Xing of Piepstin, and ntl.er Princes, vial repair, and afterwards protecd the:l6c tn the Congress so ofteit reported as about West of Germany.
