His l'.l.tjesty was received at the bottom of die staircase liy Deputations of the ten Chamfers. After repent: : : a few minutes in his apartment, his Mijesty proc:eded into the Chamber of Peers. The King plated himse4 on his Thron e , having on his right Monsieur, on his left the Duke de Berry, the Duke of o:leat.s was to the right of the Kintz, beyond Monsieur. Thl Peers were Placed according t , i their rank, on benches in :Iv: space to the rigio of the King. and the Deputies on benches in the space to the left. The Duchess d'Angutta leme, the Duchess de Berry, the Duchess of 0, leans, the Duke de CI:4We%, And MatlernoiseLc Orleans, occupied a tribune fronting the Throne. 'nig As sert:Ay ‘,ll the King's r ntrauer stood uncovered.. — The Kith pave the word in the Prep, to he S 'Aled ; end :ht Chancellor, in t..e ii,ittie of his Nl.4i-vy, gave permission to the DepniLs to be seated. Tue &fie delivered the following Speech ; •• ME - hi-tams—At the op!:ning of ,the last S3.ion, I sp. k.e to you of the hopes insp;red by the oi.irri4ge of the Duke de Berti. 'ltriugh PuovtossicE has ton suddenly withdrawa the gift it bestowed, yet we be hold in it assurances of the future`accomplishment of our wishes. IS The Treaty with the Holy See, which I men s•oned last year, has since beta conclnded. I have desired my Ministers, in c9nimunicating it to you, to propose the Projet of a law, necessary to g;ve tl.e Legislative sanction to such of its conditions as may be susceptible of it, and to make it in unis to with the Charter, the Laws of the Kingdom, and those privileges of the Galilean Church, the precious inhe ritance of our lathers, of which St. Louis and all his successors were no less jealous than of the happiness of their subjects, " The Harvest of 1316, by its deficiencies, frus trated, in a great degree, my hopes. The sureriogs of my people have afflicted my heart. I have, how ever, beheld with emotion, 'that almost every where they have endued diem with a degree of touching fortitude : arid if, in some places, they have broken out into seditious acts, order was soon re-established. In order to mitigate the misfortunes of that period, I have found it necessary to make great effutts, and extraordinary pecuniary sacrifices. The details will be.presented to you, and the zeal with which you arc animated for the public good, will not permit me to doubt that these unfortunate expenses will have your sanction. The harvest of thit year is more sa tisfactory ; but, on thc other hand, some local cala :pities, and the blights which have fallen upon the vineyards, excite my paternal solicitude for pri vatit:ns, which, without your co-operation, I cannot relieve. ".1 have ordered that the budget of the current charges should be submitted to you. It the expenses resulting from treaties, and from the deplar.ble war they have terminated, will not permit any immediate diminution ut the taxes voted in preceding Sessions, I have at least the satisfaction of thinking, that the economy I have prescribed will preclude the twee'. sky of any augmentation, and that a vote of credit, inferior to that of the last Session, will suffice for all the wants of the year. " The Conventions which I signed in 1813, pre senting results which could not then be foreseen, have rendered a new negotiation necessary. Every thing leads me to hope, that its issue will be favourable, and that conditions far above our meant, will be +awarded by others more cr,.nformable to equity, to 111Wderation, and to the possibility of sacrifices, which Qty people support with a constancy that can add nothing to my love for them. but which give them new claims to my gratitude, and to the esteem of all nations. 4 , Thus, as I had the happiness cf announcing to you in the course of last Session, the expenses arising from the Army of Occupation are diminished a fifth, and the period is not tar distant, when we may be permitted to hope, thanks to the wisdom and energy of My Government, to the love and confidencerif my people, and to the friendship of my Allies, that those expenses will entirely cease ; and that our -timiney will ileume among nations the rank and tee sown due to the valour of Frenchmen, and thew noble character in adversity. " To attain this end, I shall more than ever re quite unanimity between the people and the throne that vigour, without which au:faulty is powerless.— In proportion as that authority is strong, will be the elienwished necessity of its becoming austere. The manner in which the depositories of my power have . used, what the laws have entrusted to them, justifies my confidence. However, I feel great satisfaction in announcing to you, that I do not consider it.re quisite to corainue the Prevetal Courts beyond the term fixed for their existence by the law which created. them. " I have digested, conformably to the Charter, a Law for recruiting. I, wish that no privileges should be sought; that the spirit and dispositions of that Charter, our true compass, which calls all Frenck. men indiscruninately to offices and employments, should not .be illusory, and that the soldier should fled no other lia.it to his honourable career, than these of his talents and of his services. If the execution of this salutary law should demand an aogmentation in the Budget of the War Minister, you, as the interpre ters of the sentiments of my people, will not hesitate to sanction arrangements which secure to France dint' indepeocient", and that dignity, without which there can be neither Xing nor Nation. " 1 have detailed to you our difficulties, and the measures they will require ; in conclusion, I shall direct your attention to objects . of a more engaging description. Thaokt to the peace restored to the Chinch of France, Religion, that eternal basis of all felicity, even on earth, will., I doubt not, flourish amongst us; tranquillity and confidence begin to re appear ; public credit is strengthening itself; Agri_ -culture, commerce, and induatiy, resume their acti . 'ay ; new master-pieces of art excite admiration,— One of my children is traversing, at this moment, a tart of the kingdom, and in retain for sentiments so deeply engravin on his heart, and manifested by his Aeontiuct, he is every where greeted with benedictions; . ..trbile I, who have but one krill*, the happiness of my people—who am desirous, f their good alone, tot that astboeity which I shall *lend hoed all at, , peti, at wbptever kind. I know that I UP beleltd by them, end 1 End in my heart the assuroce that this consolation will never be denied to me." The Speech being finished, the newly.elected De. puties took the oath in the preswee of his Majesty. The Chancellor declared, in the name of the King, that the Session of the two Chambers, for 1817. was operted, and e.elt Of them were desired to assemble on Saturday the Bth instant. His hi...jetty descended from his Throne, and re tired with the same toms as on his entrance. Salvoes of artillery announced the King's depar ture from, and his return to, the Thuillerie.. Marshal the Duke of Ragusa is expected to return to Paris home-dia.-dr. The Pitvotal Court of the Rhone at Lyons termi nated on the &l instant, the trial of the conspiratnrs. Veruay is sentenced to death, hut recommend .d to mercy; eleven are sentenced to different terms of im prisonment and surveillance, and Madame Lavalette and the rest sore set at liberty. THE IrENING STAR. LONDON. MONDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1817. LORD MAToll'ill DAT (Herr).-Halltlay at the Baak, Lachaver, it 34 South-bra A Hamburg!), and Also a Flemish Mail, arrived last night ; and this morning a Lisbon Mail, and also one from Holland. Our Readers hive repeatedly been informed of the assassinition of the lley of Au.tens, on the 18th of September, and the appointment of a succer.rir, named ALt. The new My seems disposed to live on terms of peace and amity with the European Powers. On his elevation, he instantly ordered the release of a vessel and crew belonging to Hamburgh, and one belonging to this country. A letter from the Lower Elbe. speaking of the Russian squadron which sailed lately hom Revel, says, 4 , Spam had applied to Russia first to obtain permission to build some vessels in the Baltic. Rus sia did nut think fit to accede to this, but it sold the squadron in question to Spain. It seems certain that Spain gives to Russia for this acquisition, 5e400,000 sterling, which England has promised to pay her for the abolition of the Slave Trade !!!" MARSEILLES, OCTOMER 14, The new Dry of Algiers has declared, on entering upon his Government, that he will live at peace with all the European Powers. The crew of the released Hamburgh ship, the Reiherstieg, WAS immediately delivered to the English Consul. The Swedish Con. sul has communicated this agreeable news to his Col. leagues at Marseilles. BRUSSELS, NOVEMBER S. We learn that the Prince of Broglio, Bishop of, Ghent, has lately sent from his present place Ofl abode in France, a protest against the legality of the summons which has been issued against him by the President of the Court of Assizes at Brussels. It is supposed that we may flatter oursekres that the concerns of the Church, upon which negociations are carrying on at Rome, will soon be definitively regulated by the•conclusion et a new Concordat. Several officers of cavalry, who are on half-pay , have lately received commissions for the East Indies. HELDER. RIOVEMBER 4. His Majesty our revived Sovereign and his Royal Highness Prince Frederick, have been to this place to view the new and asteni►hing works that have been carrying on for the improvement of the port ; the greet port, the sluice, the dock, &c. are of the grandest enterprise ever executed. 'His Majesty, ac. companied by the Minister for Public Works, in_ spected the whole in the minutest detail, the docks, the steam-engine, and the immense flood-gates, acc, through which several vessels passed in his Majesty's presence. His Majesty also went along the grand quay of the port to inspect the canal which is dig : ging and the works, or dikes for damming the braet, called Koegras, alter which he returned to the Hague. The Paris Papers of Thursday have arrived since our last. The Speech of the KING of FRANdIt, on opening the Session of the two Chambers, will be found in a preceding columns It is en important and interesting document—as much so, perhaps. as any previous prozuction of the same kind since the resto ration of Lows XVIII. to the throne of his sneer ,tors. On the subject of the external relations of France, it is particularly deserving of attention.— The Conventions concluded in Hifi, being theist we presume, respecting the liquidation of the debts owing by France to Foreign ['fivers and their subjects, having presented certain results which' were not foreseen, a new negotiation had, it is stated, besune necessary ; and every thing leads his Majesty to hope that ie its issue will be favourable, and that conditions far above the means of his people will be succeeded by others more conformable to equity, to moderation, and to the possibility of sacrifices which his peepte support with a constancy that gives them new c l a i ms to hi s gratitude and to the esteem of all nations." In other words, if we understand his MAJZSTY, the Allied Sovereigns are expected to abate theii. just claims, or rather the claims of their subjects on France, *lid allow her to escape all further taxation, whilst every other country in Europe is loaded with imposts to repair the consequences of her system of plunder. It is but barely decent. we think, in Louts, an d, with a view to the success of hi 3 negotiation, marvellously ill advised, to offs r any thing in inopu- Cation of the equity or modcredion 0 4i:inventions, sn, deliberately lormed on existing facts as those in tines itoo• were. The'debts due toforeign subjects, and shpt;. issta'a % - - • - 41&& _ _......_ i1t.1.. . l'j ILe t.s be discharged, st ere of a fixi d nature, and their amount was long aguknown tothe French Government. Claims founded upon such debts canhot surely be represented as among the 1, unforeseen results" of a promise under which they were to be liquidated. Another, arid we apprehend no insignificant portion of the demands now murmur. d :it by ihe Court of Franee, arc on account of 'contributions ard other spnlations and robberies inflicted upon foreign coun• tries by French Generals and political agents within the last ten years. That demands for redress and reparation, however moderate, on behalf of the multi tudes aggrieved through such cruelties as these, should exasperate the passions of those by whom they were per petrated, is much more likely than that any appeal. however jest, should rousetheirhumanii y ora wake their conscience. But that Ministers ir. the service of Louts XVII I. could bring themselves to impeach the equity of those reclsmations, and to evade the acknowlyd . ),- ment of rights so irrever.ihle, is something beyond what we had calculated upon. The roraprirside of the claims is stated to be another grcritid tor irj:•cting or reducing ti::.-m—.but the attatil:nt of such claims for redre:s is an indication, though not perhaps an accu rate measure, of the magnitude of the crimes and oppressions which they are brought to: ward to wipe off. It follows, therefore, from the reasoni,,g t hi s passage of the KING'S speech, that France is to be indulged in propoition to the wrongs which she has committed. The trial of tl:c alledged' conspirators at Lyons terminated on tie 3d instant. The details of it ate not given, but from the result the charges appear to have nearly evaporated in the course of the process. Only one of the indtvidu ils accused has been sen tenced to death, and he is recommended to mercy ; eight were condemned to different terms of imprison ment, three placed under surveillance; and IG, includ ing the Marchioness de LAVALFTTE, were acquitted. The Duke of RAOVSA is, it seems, expected im mediately at Paris, on his return from his mission to Lyons and Greauble. French 5 per Cents. 6th Nov. 65 fr. 50 c. NAVAL INIELLIGENCii. MAlLS—aua. DUI.
