The Patis Papers of Tuesday contain the speech of the King at' France to the Legislative Chambers, ou opening the Session on Monday last in person. There is one part of the Speech that will excite much spirited opposition, and that is the recortunen dation to alter the Law of Election, which• has been advised by the King's Nfinisters, and is very likeiy nitimately to produce their removal. It is intended to alter the Law by making the Parliament Septen nial, thereby rendering the Representatives more independent of the the elective body,. and conse quently more likely to be. corrupted. The Speech presents a favourable picture of France, with respect to the improvcruent in agriculture, conuneroe, and the art,, t.. increasing prosperity of the country, and the flouriahing state of the finances. The revenue se Lir exceeds the expenditure as to permit THE NATIONAL REGISTER. the annual application of large sums to the discharge of the public debts, and eye* justifies a hope of the speedy- diminution of the individual burdens of the people. Ilis Majesty expresses a desire; so tar to alter the Constitution of the Chamber of Deputies, as to repeal the present practice of partial renewals in every successive year of the Chamber, and, to " ensure its duration more confbnuable to the ex istence of public order." The King feels himself sufficiently strong to exercise mercy towardt the exiles, and we (Lid a long list in these papers of the persons v. ho had been banished and are now permit. ted to return. At the. conclusion oldie spetch, the ' Peers and Deputies present took the oaths of fidelity to the King, constitutionalcharter and Lawn: It was generally known that the Abbe Gregorei had re solved nut to brave the significant intimation which had been given hiin, by the omission to send I.ini the usual letter of invitation. Not , only was he absent from the Sitting, but the name of the soi disant Deputy of the Isere was omitted in calling over the list,. according to the alphabetical order. Thivaireumstanco did not escape the observation of the Assembly, who listened with extreme anxiety from tile end of the names which begun with F, to those which had the letter H for their initial After this ceremony of swearing, the King withdrew, and the Sitting broke up. The Chambers were to meet in their respective Halls on Thursday. HIS MAJESTY**. HEALTH...-We have great pleasure in stating, that trout the latest, and as we believe the best authority, we are assured that the symptoms Mach recently gave rise to alarm fur the !lib of our revered King hive entirely subsided, and that his Mi.jesty's health is now better than it has been for a considerable time !Kist. COSIIETT.—A dinner wr son Frit'ay given a► the Crown anti Anchor, by the friends of Cobbett, in honour of the return of that demagogue to his native country. The numbers- that assembled amounted to about .500, but many of them wire attracted more by curiosity to see a Radical dinner than any attachment either to Cobbett or radicalism. About 6 o'Clock, Cobbit entered the room accom panied by " My dear Hunt," and some other reform worthies. The runagate was received with enthbsiusin A scramble then took place for the dinner, as the five an , l sixpenny tickets did not afford viands enough for all present, and the sce.'e appeared like that of a garrison receiving its first meal after being obliged to surrender by famine Tue business of the awning was of no interest to any but the radicals.. Tlie only two things curious were, the reconciliation between the " base' 11'ooler (as he is called by Collett) and Cobbett ; and the rentincia. tion.both on the part of Cubbett and Hunt of any acquaintance with. or any respeit for, Pairt's infidel works. Cobbett tank particular care to separate Paine's bones (of which he 11115 got possession) front his blaspltens,. The company magnanitnottsly. re solved not to grati:y their aristocratic taste for wine, and determined to bring their enemies to , terms by attackin A the treasury through the mediutu of ab stinence. We observed several guests, however who loved port more than reform, and finind, no doubt, their "stolen 'potations sweeter than water. Istourier .

MTATE OF TIIE COUNTRY. 31)9 EXTRACT FROM " A L'T I It TO THE GENTLIIIIIIi op Ksaf.Atio." JUST PIUIILISHED. GENTLEMEN--.lt would be superfluous in such t work ter this, to detal the great and paramount inflaence which your opinion must at all times hays with the public, whenever that opinion shall be ex. pressed through the constitutional medium of County Jl eetings. You, Gentlemen are the newel guardians of the rights and the liberties of the people; and it be• hovel you to be active, prudent, and jealous in their defence, bee fuse the rielies and comforts you pos sess—relics and conithrts which no other country affords—are derived solely and entirely from the uncommon industry of the English people; an in dustry which has been excited and *inter r ed, and. which isunlv to be maintained by the security they have enjoyed, or arc likely to enjoy, under the pro tection of just and equal laws, supported by a free representative Government. You are a link in the chain of ostler and govern. meat, resultit.g from that combination of events which prottuced the British Constitution, and with that Constitution you are co-existent. No other country in Europe is possessed of such a powerful engine for the support of tree institutions, and accordingly nu other country in Europa la really frees- You are indeot tae true middle class, which pro. serves the balance of powers and interests in the country. Ido not speak with relation to your pro. putty, education, cr importance, for in all of these you are at least Lilted to any other class in the cont. immunity, but with relation to that peculiar political station which you hold, a station which gives you the means of speaking with effect to the highest and the lowest, to the weakest and the most powerful. From your habits of lite, being intimately ac suaint ed with the feetings, customs, and dispositions of" the working classes, you are able to appreciate justly their wants, their discontents, and tile effect of legislative enactments upon their welfare ; while from your ed,teation, and your independent dignity as gentlemen, you are enabled to see through and to check. time sinister or the foolish desi.:na of those numerous and aspiring intantx.rs of the community,. among whom 'he executive powers of the state ar usually distributed- _ _ Peace, tranquillity, and order, being the very sources front whence you derive your power in the state, you cad never, as a body, entertain any ambitious or vi lent intentions—anti hence it follows, that wlteu .necessity calls for your interference, you are enabled without danger of misrepresentation or even suspicion, to assume a high and determined tone in your remonstrances to Government, and a confident one when you step forward as the leaders and directors of the people. The former would feel it absurd to accuse you of exciting tumult for the purposes of anarchy, end the latter would bus• ten gladly to arrange themselvei under the banners art their natural and must efficient leaders Your power then is equally great and beneficial : it is in act toe power of public: opinion, which must al. ways be favourable to you. in as much as it is your plain, direct, and inunediate interest to support the cause of justice and freedom, the parents of trait.. quality. Such, gentlemen, i 3 your situutiou ; and although I would by no means recommend a light or hasty display of your power, yet then: are times when not. to put forth your wholestiength would be base and criminal.. That such an ecoision has arisen—that now is- the time for you to display your power and your patriotism, it shall he the object of this Ad dress to prove In thi; first place, I.tal•e it for gmnted that aeon.- viction of the absolute necessity of some kind of reform exists generally throughout the kingdom. It is self-evident that c state cannot be rightly governed in all its p.trt", which, peeeessing the re• sources of industry, science, and• morality, after a series of victories, and in the midst of triumphs occa. slimed by the must complete success, discovers in, the stem year of thy most protOund peace! a deep. rooted discontent among the working classes, and an• undefined tenor among the upper, a dread of some— thing terrible about to happon, something to which they. t6nt to give a name. To produce such a state of feeling among a rich, industrious, and moral people, some evil principle in the Government,. 'some abuse in the Constitution must be at work,. and the only etkettial remedy is to discover and.. eradicate that evil. 1 he question is, how s':all that lie done, and by whom? -hall we expose tha infected parts, to be cut out by the rude heads and jagged knives of a starving and irri•ated population ? Or, shall we allow it to spread . the cover of a court plait'• ter, till it cut out every healthful part of the Con. stitution, and. present one diseased and disgusting. mass of corriqiiion Sh:.ll we not r idler remove the knife from tie hands of the populace, and tab. ing advantage of their zeal, make use of them at assistants, while we skilfully avert the mischief, sad estore the p.victit to health r 1
