The Patis Papers of Tuesday contain the speech of the King of France to the Legislative Chambers, on 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 mommen dation to alter the Law of Election, which has been advised by the King's Ministers, and is very lady ultimately 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 hotly, and conse quently more likely to be corrupted. The Speech presents a favourable picture of France, with respect to the improvement in agriculture, commerce, and the art , t:oe increasing prosperity or the country, and the flourishing state of the finances. The revenue sv lar exceeds the expenditure as to permit THE NATIONAL. REGISTER. the annual application of large sums to the discharge of the public debts, and even justifietka hope of the speedy diminution 9f the individual burdens of the people. His Majesty expresses a desire, so far to alter the Conetitttion 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 eorifortnable to the ex istence of public order." The King feels himself sufficiently strong to exercise mercy towards the exiles, and we find a long list in these papers of the persons who had been banished and are now permit. ted to return. At the conclusion of the speech, the Peers and Deputies present took the oaths of fidelity to the King, constitutionalcharter and Laws: It was generally known that the Abbe Gregorei had re solved not to brave the significant intimation which had been given him, by the omission to send I.ira the usual letter of invitation. Not only was he absent from the Sitting, bat the name of the sea discial Deputy of the Isere was omitted in calling over the list, according to the alphabetical order. This circumstance did not escape the observation of the Assembly, who listened with extreme anxiety from the end of the names which began 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. Hts MAJESTY'S HEALTH..--We have great pleasure in stating, that from the lutert, and os we believe the best authority, we are assured that the symptoms which recently gave ri.e to slam for the liii of our revered King have entirely subsided, and that his M.:jesty's health is now better that► it has beer► for a considerable time past. Collin:TT —A dinner wrs on Friday given at the Crown and Anchor, by the friends of Cobbett, in honrnii of the return of that demagogue to his conntry. The numbers tom assembled amt - Jed to about 500, but many of them were attracted more by curiosity to see a Radical dinner than amt :it t. wit oit either t.. Cobbett or radicalism.. Ab,..it 6 4.l:Sick, Coblict Lotere.i tiie mom acexon ponied by 'My dear Hunt," and some other reform worthies. The runagute was received with enthusiasm A scramble then took place our the dinner, us the live and sixpenny tickets did not afford viands enough for all present, and the see .e appeared like that of a garrison receiving its first meal after being obliged to surrender by himme. The business of the ev -sing wait of no interest to any but the radicals. The only two things curious were, the reconciliation between the " Luse' Woolcr (as he is called by Cobbett) aid Cobbett; and the tenni-16a. lion both on the pull of Cobbett and I-hint of any acquaintance with, or any respect for, Rune's infidel works. Cobbett took particular care to separate l'uine's bones (of which he has got possession) from his blasphemy. The company magnanimously re solved not to gratify their aristocratic taste fur wine, and determined to bring their enemies to terms by attacking the treasury through the medium of uls tantrum. We observed several guests, however who loved port more than reform, and fbund, no doubt, their "stolen" potations sweeter than water. INQUEST ON LEES.—The Jury were in attend ance, at the Stur-inn, Manchester, on Wednesday morning, according to their recognisances. Messrs. Harmer and Denison were also in waiting. Mr. Ferranti did nut appear; but his clerk, Bettye, came and intiirmed the Jury that the Court of King's Bench had set aside the inquest altogether. An inquest on the body of one Rhtxles, another person who was reported to have died of wounds re ceived ea the 16th of August, was held on Tuesday last, before slr. Milne, the Coroner, at Hopwood The Jury, after hearing the evidence of several medical men, returned 4 verdict of—Natural Death. Commas COUNCIL.—A Deputation at' Members of the Court of Common Council waited upon the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor, at the NLinsion Howie, on Friday, whit a Requisition, very respecta bly signed, of which tie following is a copy :- 14 th, Ito& 1. , 11 WV, ih of ikr C., / , ‘ o f ...... 01 C 4 ...... 11, a egiorst )our Lou rot. • Oats .4.1 y .14), is tnb>idyr our pk,ii-o WI) P 4111111 Mi thu,r alai using ii ..wee es 81. w N..,,. . is Minima' at, villa It mi..) wad to ruli.lKr U.

Licc. JUNI' FUOLIOHILID. GIENTLCIICN-... It would be superfluous in such a work as this, to detail the great sad paramount influence which your opinion must at all times hare with the public, whenever that opinion shall be ear pressed through the constitutional medium of Coma, Meetings. You, Gentlemen are the natural portraits of the rights and the liberties of the people • mid it ha , hovel you to be active, prud e nt, and sedans in their defence, because the riches sad comforts you pos sess—riches and comfint• whirls no other country affords—are derived solely and entirely from the uncommon industry of the English people • an in dustry which has been ex c ited and foste red, and which is only to be maintained by the security they have enjoyed. or are 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 order and govern ment, resulting from that combination of events which produced the British Constitution, and with that Constitution you are so-saistent. No other country in Europe is possessed of soch a powerful engine for the support of free institution*, end accordingly no other country in Europe i,really !free. You are indeed the true middle clam, which re serves the balance of powers and interests in the country. Ido not speak with relation to your pro perty, education, or importance, for in all of these you are at least equal to any other class in the com munity, but with relation to that peculiar political station which you hold, a station which gives yen the means of speaking with effect to the highest and the lowest, to the weakest and the most powerful. From your habits of life, being intimately acquaint ed with the feelings, customs, and dispositions of the working elastics, you are able to appreciate justly their wants, their discontents, and the effect of legislative enactments upon their welfare; while frum your education, and your independent dignity as gentlemen, yau are enabled to see through and to check, the sinister or the foolish design, of those nutiseruusaini aspiring members of the community, among whom the executive powers of the state ate usually distributed,. Peace, tranquillity, .and order, being the vary sources from whence you derive your power haat* state, you Ca 17 never. us a body, entertain say ambitious or violent intention•—and henceit follows, that when necessity calls for your interference, you are enab.ell with o ut danger of misrepntsentation or even suspicion, to assume a high and determined tone in your remonstrances to Government, and a contident one when you step forward as the leaders and thre,:tors of the people. The forme.r would feel it absurd to accuse you of exciting tumult for the pur ► sscs of anarchy, sod the latter would has. ten gla i to arrange the►nselvt., under the banners of their natural and most efficient leaders Your power then is equally great and beneficial:• it is In act clic power of ► ,ublic opinion, which must al. ways be fitvourablo to you, in as much as it is your plain, direct, and immediate interest to support the came of justice and freeduni, the parents of tran quillity. . . Such, gentlemen, is your situation ; and although I would by nu means recommend a light or hasty display of your power, vet there are times when not to put fiwth your whole ►tgength would be base and criminal. That such an occasion has arisen--that now is the time fur you to display your power and your patriotism, it dual be the object of this Ad dress to prove In the first place, I talc it for granted that a con. viction of the absolute necessity of some kind of refimn exists generally throughout the kingdom. It is self-evident that a state cannot be rightly governed in all its parts, which, possessing the re sources of industry, science, and morality, atter • series of victories, and in the midst of triumphs occa. sinned by the most complete success, discovers in the FIVTII year of the must profound peace! a deep. rooted discontent among the working classes, and an undefined terror mating the upper, a dread of some. thing terrible about to happen, something to which they fear so 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 effectual remedy is to discover and eradicate that oitil. I lie question; is, hot-, shall that be done, and by whom? 'hull we expme the infected parts, to be cut out by the rude halals and jagged knives of a starving and irri•ated population ? Or, shall we allow it to spreuct under the cover of a court plain. ter, till it cut out every healthful part of the Con tittition, and present one diseased and disgusting swiss of corruption ? Shall we n:)t rather remove •he knife from the hands of the populace, and tisk. m g , alvamo n -e of their se.ll, make use of thee as Assistants, while we skilfully avert, the mischief, awl store the patient to health ?" 111 -
