De )logendorp to the solemn Address by which Lis Majesty yesterday opened the Assembly of the States-General :— " SIILE,—The striking picture which year Ma jesty has sketched, with equal simplicity and truth, has excited a lively emotion in our minds. How much does the present epoch differ from those which have preceded it. Every one remembers, and your Majesty cannot have forgotten, how all our cuter pikes then failed, how all our efforts did but tend to hasten our rain, and how an invisible hand seemed to turn to nought the best concerted plans. Now the sun of prosperity illumines our horizon, all oar efforts are crowued with the happiest success, and this Divine baud visibly concurs in confirming our felicity. Even at the moment when distress and down. seemed to approach us, when the Oppressor of Europe was *gain seated on Lis execrable throne, his elevation has served but to hurl him from it for ewer, and to cansolklate more strongly the political state of Europe, and that of oar country. This re markable difference in the ways of Providence, is accompanied by a difference equally great lu the sen timents of the citizens. Formerly two powerful parties had arisen among us, civil war had broken out, and the flames of hatred and envy glimmered tinder the *sires. The cause of punishment became the instrument of it---.Discercl destroys St rength.— To.day all spirit of party is forgotten—ell hands are joined—all hearts united round the Throne; and new dangers serve but to draw slater the ties which bind the citizens to each other," and attach them to the country. " The generous blood of your son has flowed for us, and the whole people has offered property arid life for the common cause. Thus the cause of our prosperity becomes also the instrument of it; usioN eONSTITLITEI STRENGTH. It is not ouiy in the Northern, but also in the Southern Proviuces that the same unanimity and good will have been display. ed. Your discernment, Sire, your love for the coun try, have summoned from every part of the kingdom the most distinguished men, in order to modify, ac cording to the interests of your different subjects, as children of the same father, the Constitution under hich we live happy. 64 Our deliberations have given rise to reciprocal sentiments of affection and friendship, and in the fi eternal banquets which we have given each other, ac cording to the custom of our ancestors, and from which all mistrust, all reserve were banished, it was my lot to express the desire to unite in a toast different advantages, namely, our agriculture, our manufac. tures, our commerce,all the arts, and all the sciences, the Constitution, and peace ; on which one of the D..poties from the Southern Departinerts exclaimed with enthusiasm, We shall owe all these blessings to the Constitution.' " It is with such sentiments, Sire, that w►e begin this day the task which your Majesty has imposed upon us. We begin it penetrated with ardent zeal towards our King and country, with perfect and cor dial union among ourselves. We shall discuss with calmness, we shall not preciiiitzte our deliberations, and lastly, we shall omit none of the forms which become a solemn and numerous assembly. Mean time we recommend ourselves to your Majesty's fa vour, begging !leaven to shower down its choicest blessings upon your !louse and your Person."

LONDON: WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 16, 1815. The Paris Papers of the 13th, Sunday last, arrived this forenoon. The French people are again de riving hope of better days from a Declaration of the Allied Sovereigns, which is expected to appear iu al few days, and is reported to be of a nature to give satisfactiou to all parties. It will be a more won- I derful Declaration than any that has yet issued front the Congress, If it has realty this effect. The defini tive Fetes,* hich cast such a brilliancy over the Defini. tive Treaties, are about to be renewed. King Lousy, in the midst of all his perplexities, and the crapes and the sorrowing countenances that surround him ; whilst his capital is in the possession of foreign ar mies, and France is in distraction, is to give a grand Fete to his Allies and the conquerors of his country, which it is fund!y hoped will be that of a definitive arrangement, and will be followed by the evacuation df France by the Allied troops, except those which are to remain to preserve internal tranqoillity. This is a material exception, and though, perhaps, very well meant, is rather liable to give rise to Some un- pleasing conjectures in French minds. But this we suppose the Allies do not care for. The French do not tell us what it is that has satisfied the Allies so , soon. Is it simply placing Lours where Bostaeanirt was? The adherents of the latter are not all ester minated. Ilas it been found impossible to effect this with all Lord CAITLIALAGD'S one million eleven thousand men ? We suppose it has—even with all the additional Badeuers, Blunswickers, Prussiars, Austrians, " furious Franks and fiery Huns," Ilulans, and Goths and Visigoths, who have rushed in to swell the devouring mass stria bad before laid waste the fertile plains of France. They surely have not all taken fright at Lours's new-raised legions ; and from conquerors and dictators are willing to become I mere auxiliaries to Foecut's police, or the armies they had conquered.. Prince Ihectrea has said, that GOD has given him the will and power to tread on the neck of France, and humiliated she should be; at least, somebody has reported such a speech of the gallant Marshal. Mast he too leave France with out accomplishing the design which he knows would' be so agreeable to the heart of his Sove reign?—But it would really appear the Mar shall must ; and what is still more provoking to the whole tribe of criers out for humiliation and vengeance, the veil is drawn aside and the rebel armies, the men. of Jena and Austerlitz, are dis closed, collected, and ranged in full force on the King's establishment, with all their wishes granted, except their desire to repel the invaders, and no change made in the French armies but a tenfold in• crease of their numbers. The army of the Loire, which we were told had been dissolved, is declared to be .15,000 strung, and the first title of the new organization states, that the soldiers of the present army. are to be admitted into the new one. ID fact, I this has already been done, and the very Royal Guard is to be composed of the old troops. 1 —But though the Allies cannot fashion Louis's army to their mind, or assimilate his Government in every respect to their own, they may provide',, against any reaction detrimental to themselves, by keeping possession of the strong holds which they ' have obtained. This they will no doubt do; but this will neither end the war nor "satisfy all parties." We observe it is announced that Mezieres, which has been so vigorously pressed, has capitulated ; but the con ditions on which this is done are sufficiently remark able. The military occupying the place are to retire with their artillery to join the army of the Loire, a measure perfectly in unison with the plan which ap pears to regulate all the movements of tbs French troops. Marshal Svcsnr 41111 occupies Iteanne ) with a strong corps. COURIER EXTRAORDINARY, Sunday 11farnIng. The Allied Sovereigns are to dine to-day with the King. Marshal Sachet still occupies Roanne, with a trench corps d'arrnce. The Prussians were to enter Mantes on the 9th kat. All the stores and ammunition were taken out of the castle. At Avignon, after the death cf Marshal Brune, two effigies of Bonaparte were paraded and burnt iu the market-place. It does not appear that Europe is yet to_ be al- lowed to return to a seitleTiaite. - dtahi tied discoveries avow making. It iefouud out by the Allied Powers and their Ministers, who hive taken upon themselves to clean and- repair the machinery of Europe's harmony, that the removal of NAPO LEON BONAPANTE, Whit+ cost them so much pains has rather increased the discord, that he has carriud with him the key which alone could regulate the varying spirit of the strangely constituted cen tre nation, and that there. is no making the French dance in any thing lite order to the tune of Louts's grating Ltd fiddle. There is, of course, no little surprise in the countenances, and wrath in the hearts of the Powers composing the , " dancing Congress" at this discovery, which some people contend ought to have been no secret to i l them before; but ts ho could sunp•me that, after such a national disaster as the French sustained hi the battle of Waterloo, any native of that country would not be glad to be allowed to live on the condition ofl dancing all the Feat of his life to any given tine, or' that the people of France should continue to talk and to act as if they were not a conquered rtstion.=' " Was not Box tranve conquered, and is he, not in our possession ?" " Grant-41. But BONA PARTE is not the whole of tke Frencis.oation. Had he been so, had you been candid enough to say in your. Declaration of War, that it was against the , French nation you were, to direct your arms, and that its overthrow should he fotlkiived by its dismern hertneot, thin result ..f the late struggle might have been different. We admit you that it is a humane policy in ambitious men.to- steal , kingdoms, when the ac-' quisition of them by more forcible means might be at tended with much bloodsited-v-but, we are not dis posed to be stole; and see here our reserves which • the prudence of out free • Governmeut kept within the bounds of their.departments—they are the people of eighty-six depertMents whirl+ are marshalled into eighty-six legions for the pre servation of their respective districts." --- —Such we may suppose, from what is at present ex hibited to us in France, is the sort .of coh.que be tween the Representatives of the States most in'erest ed, which has beets , styled negotiations for peace.— Peace! it was never more unlikely than at the pre- I sent moment, though we are told the causes of na- I tional hate are for ever removed, and that with them have been removed all iuterroptioos to the commerce The riots seem to continue, but there is less sail and the amicable relations of the countries.
