FE= t . FRENCH CHAMBERS. linitai or Louts xvm. ON OPENING THE SESSION. fleortestro—lt is always with confidence, and, on the present occasion, under favourable auspices, that I Come to open this Session. In preceding years I was compelled to participate my griefs with you. More happy now, I have only to return thanks to the Mt : Powerful for the constant protection which he has vouchsafed to France. The son, with which Heaven has soothed my sorrows, grows with the public prnspe rite, and continues to be to me a source of consolation and hope. This child, my heart feels confident, will be worthy of us; be will merit the love with which my subjects surround his cradle. My relations with foreign powers hive never ceased to be amicable, and I have a firm confidence that they will continue to he so. Great calamities afflict the east. Let us hope that they approach their termination, and that the prudence and cordiality of all the Powers will foul the means of eatis fying what religion, policy and humanity may justly demand. The naval force, which, under these circumstances, I have stationed in the seas of the Levant, has accomplish ed the object which I contemplated. Our ships have always effectually protected my subjects; and often they have afforded to misfortune a timely aid. A destructive scourge desolates a petition of Spain: I have prescribed, and I will maintain, the rigourous pre cautions which protect our coasts and frontiers from the contagion. If we take a view of our domestic state, what motives -bare we not to bless Providence! The sensible progress of industry, agriculture, and the arts, attests that of commerce; and very soon new channels, by multiplying the means of communication and of traffic, will extend the general good to all parts of the kingdom. The prosperity of the finances, the intelligible expo sition of the public accounts, and fidelity in engage ments, have consolidated public credit, and increased ti.e resources of the State. The period at which I have convoked you, and the orders which I have given that the finaecial laws should he first submitted to von, sufficiently manifest my desire to put an end to provisional grants ; the Chambers will, doubtless, be eager to second my intentions. • Our anspicioussituation, and the return of internal and external tranquillity, have already admitted of a di ed notion in one of the most onerous of the taxes,that which attacks reproduction in its source, by overwhelming landed property. Next year, those so assessed will wi,olly enjoy this reduction. I desire that successively, IA as soon as the exigencies of the State and the dig nity of France will permit, the various taxes which con stitute the public revenue shall be investigated, and, if it be Practicable, diminished, or better assessed. The laws are respected, and the depositaries of my power become every day more and more imbued with their spirit. Order anti discipline reign in the army. Every where passions are subsiding, and suspicions we. ring away ; and it gives me pleasure to ackuow ledge, Gentlemen, that by your loyal cooperation, you have powerfully contributed to all this good. Let us persevere in the wise measures: to which such prosperous results must he attributed. Let us persevere in that unity of views, which has so efficaciously de feated the vigilance, and restrained (the last efforts of the spirit of trouble and disorder. In this the repose of Europe is not less interested than ours. It is taus that all the generous sentiments will be developed with which I know your hearts abound and that you will establieh, upon the gratitude, the love, and the respect of my subjects, the Throne, which pro • tests the liberties of all. When his Majesty had concluded his speech. the Chancellor having received the King's orders, in fotnied the new elected Deputies who were present, tv at his Majesty would permit them to take the oath before himself. He then read the formula, and the Minister of the Interior, calling over the names, each Member stood up in his place, and replied by the words. 1 . I swear." The following was the form of the oath : I swear to be faithful to the King, to obey the Consti tutional Charter, and the Laws of the Kingdom, and to conduct myself iu respects, as be fi ts a good and loyal Deputy. The Deputies having thus taken the oath, the Chan cellor announced, in the name of the King, that the Session for the year 1821 was opened, and all of them were invited to assemble on the following day, in their respective Chambers, to commence their labours. His Majesty descended from the Throne amid the liveliest acclamations of rive le Rui! which were pro loc ged for a considerable length of time. Salvos of artillery announced the return of his Ma jesty to the Tuileries. THE KING. Extract of a letter from Hanover. October 27th Yesterday his Majesty dined with the Duke of Cam bridge. and in the evening honoured the Theatre with his presence. The impatience to obtain places ex ceeded all conception, and there were several persons wl.o seated themselves as early as twelve o'clock in the day, lest they might not afterwards be able to ob tain admission. Nothing was left undone that could ] give eclat to the interesting occasion. Shortly after seven o'clock his Majesty's presence was announced by loud cheers from all parts of the house. sad " Ood save the King" was played amidst enthusiastic accla rs.Ations. Upon the rising of the curtain the same air was given, with German words, from behind the scenes, . there being in , view an exact representation of the town of Hanover, with the surrounding country. Im mediately after, one of the performers presented himself on the stage, with wings, and all the other attributes of Mercury; and, having made a profound obeisance, he began to recite a long poem. in honour of his Majesty. The next was an allegorical spectacle, and various moral qualities aa:d virtues assumed an identity in the persons of young girls, one of whom represented Jll3. tiers with•a pair of scales in her band. These ceremo nies over, the regular performance commenced, which consisted of the opera of Tattered. • The floe music of .Rosial lest nothing in the execution, .and his Majesty was so well pleased that he several times cried oat 4.,Uravol" Is as audible voice. His Majesty appeared le such better health and spirits titan when 1 saw him a• the theatre in Brussels. He was dressed is the Windsor uniform, sad attended in his box by all the slicers of his Hanoverian household. The Princess of Hasse Homburg, his sister, and the Duchess 401 Oasabridge. were on the right of his Majesty ; the Dachas of Camberland sat on his left. TM Dukes of Cambridge andCamtherland came occasionally into the hen. and cosvereed with their sagest brither. As snot as the opera was ever. "Hod save the King" was given. au had hoes Were. sad the ease descent' ties. of tepid were mimed as his ligaleety retired. .ATEsijIA THE S: THE KING'S RETURN TO ENGLAND. Einbeck, 0ct.29, Monday, 12 o'Cloek. Last night there was a Concert at the Palace, and his Majesty gave audience to the Public. Authorities previously to Itia departure lot Bognor , . As early as three o'clock this morning the Duke of Cambridge drove up to the post-house at Tbiedenweisi ( a Place , about two Gorman miles from Hanover on the- Mat's. route,) and informed the ‘ post-master that his Majesty was to have set out at tenp'elock precisely. His Majesty has determined to reach Cahill in 10 date if possible; but it is thought the journey will take . 12. tir per hap 14, as he cannot ?owed • without some inter mission, though he bears fitigue;.wonderfully.

It is said that his Majesty may probably embark at Dunkirk ; but this will depend on the report given as to the facilities and convenience of leaving the harbour. it may not be unworthy of notice, that when his Majesty reaches the shores of Old England, be will have tra velled more both by sea and land (including bi's visit to Ireland), than any Sovereign in Europe was ever known to do within the sawe short space of time. Six o'cLocx.—His Majesty has just passed through I the town amidst loud acclamations. The inhabitants have illuminated their houses, and the bells are ringing merry peals. His Majesty did not stop a moment, and I understand he prosecutes his journey in the morning at an early hour. TILE KING'S ENTRY INTO GOTTINGEN. GOTTINGEN, OCT. 311.—This morning, at eight o'clock' precisely, his Majesty left the Duke of Cambridge's lodge, where he slept on the preceding night, and at 12 his arrival was announced here by a discharge of artil tillery. Gottingen is celebrated for its University, which was founded by Geo. 11., and now holds the first rank of any on the continent. It was therefore natu rally expected that his Majesty would not pass through such a town with the same baste as he would through a place of less consideration ; and the public opinion was not disappointed, for he was resolved to stay as long as the very short time be bad prescribed for his journey would admit. When his Majesty's carriage arrived at the principal gate of the town, where a grand triumphal arch was' erected, a numerous train of young females, dressed in white, and each carrying in her hand a fes toon of variegated flowers,• approached with a poem placed on a scarlet velvet cushion, and his Majesty was pleased to accept it in the most condescending manner. The first place to which his Majesty proceeded on his entrance was the Riding School, where the students had made all the necessary arrangements for entertaining him with a carousel in the style of ancient chivalry. Here his Majesty was received by the Pnblic Authorities, and the Professor of Riding in the University was in waiting to exhibit before his Sovereign, specituensof his art, from the first essay up to the acme of proficiency. The students rendezvoused at an early hour, in an open space opposite to the library, and were placed in array by Marshals chosen from among their body, wearing black coats, cocked hats, and scarfs of white silk tied round the waist. They marched to the Riding School, in files of four deep, and formed an immense cavalcade. There were beside about fifty students on horseback, who were to serve as a guard Of honour to his Majesty ; those who wore blue coats with red collars, buff leather small clothes and large boots, and cocked hats, with white feathers. Each of them carried a drawn sword in his band. The Riding School is in the form of an oblong, square, and on one side of it the students ranged themselves along iu double rows, the inhabitants standing opposite to them, while his Majesty was conducted to an open pavilion that was placed at the upper end of the room, and hung with a rich drapery of crimson velvet and white satin. To this there was an ascent of seven steps, and two young gentlemen of the guard of honour stood on the first step in front of his Majesty. In the pavilion with hie Ma jesty were the Landgravine of Hesse Homburg, the Dukes of Cambridge and Cumberland with their Duchesses, several minor Princes, and the Noblemen and gentlemen of Isis Majesty's suite, who took their stationin the rear. A large party of the students now got on horseback, and went through various eques trials exercises, brandishing their lances with great agility, while they made a profound obeisance every time they passed his Majesty. His Majesty partook of some refreshment before be re-entered his carriage, end was presented with two poems, one in German and the other in Latin. After leaving the Biding-school his Majesty passed through the principal streets, and thin procuedefi to the Hall, where the Professor of Natural History gives lectures. Here his Majesty received the Wan of the University sad the Civic Authorities... HO then re turned to his carriage and left the town amidst the reiterated acclamations of thousands of spectators. At five o'clock precisely his Majesty arrived at Monde, a town situated in a synaptic vale in the Hessian fron tier. His Majesty being to remain here for the nitebt, the inhabitants illutninated their houses in a splendid' style, and the streets were intersected with partieo lowed lanterns, which, when lighted up, produced i 1 1 meet interesting effect in association with the pic 4evessine scenery round the town. I , Marbootg, Oct. 31, Wednesday night, halt 1 . past eight o'clock. His Majesty has just arrived here from Cassel, 1 which town 'neutered, contrary to his original inten• doo, the Elector having made, the cascade hoaarable for conduct that had justly excited the displeasure of our Sovereign. His Majesty's reception at Cassel was attended with all the splendour 'that military pomp wield finish. The Elector waited on the steps of the - Palace to receive his august visitor, anti it was ob served that his Majesty declined the offer of his arm, distigls he consented to partake of an elegant dejesme which had been premed foetal's, Hit Illalesty sleeps , this sight at the roviuswo here. add will :wit of to-.. voocrow, shwa gem o'clock, foc . Weida, his soot f Weiser, Four o'clock. The King has this moment come in and proceeded to the Hotel Kaiser (the Empe►or's Hotel.) where apartments are provided fo► his Majesty. The Saxon General Thielmann, now in the service of Prussia, and Military Governor of the provinces of the Rhine, ha' been sent by his Sovereign to pay his respects to his Britannic Majesty, on his re-entering the Prussian do minions. He travels with the Marquess Conyngbam. Ceblents, Friday, Nov. 2. His Majesty arrived here at fonr o'clock, and pro ceeded immediately to the house of General Thiel mann, the Commandant, where apartments were pro vided for his reception. However strong the differences are which exists at • present between the Courts of London and Berlin upon a great political question, they have not prevented his Prussian Majesty from paying every possible attention to our Sovereign.— He has visited the works of Ehrenbreitstein, a fortress on the left bank of the Rhine, and was surprised at the impregnable appearance they presented. The Duke of Wellington Las said that the Germans can never show gratitude enough to the King of Prussia, for having done so much for their protection. His Prussian Majesty's Rhenish subjects are not of the same opinion with the Duke upon the subject of gra titude. The Duke of Cumberland accompanies his illustrious brother as far as Brussels. Cologne, Saturday, 3d Nov. three o'cliock. P.M. The King has this moment come in, and was re ceived by the Civil and Military Authorities at the hotel which had been hired for his accummodation.— The expected interview between him and the King of Prussia does not take place, and the reason surmised is, that Frederick William is afraid, at so critical a juncture, of giving offence to the Emperor of Russia, by meeting iu a cordial manner a Sovereign whose po litics are not in accordance with his own. If his health should not suffer by over-exertion, his Majesty is determined to go on to London without stopping a single day on the road. NINE O'CLOCK AT NIGHT.—His Majesty was re ceived here with the saute honours as in the other parts of the Prussian dominions through which be passed. The band is now playing national and pa triotic airs opposite his Majesty's Hotel, and the in habitants are greeting him. with loud cheers. His ►Majesty has had several persons of the highest dis tinction to dine with him, and when " GOD save the King" was sung, he joined in the chorus, substituting the name " Frederick" for George. This, though it might be expected from the well•know'n courtesy of our Sovereign, is still a proof of his personal regard for the King of Prussia. The Marquess of London derry has travelled in advance of his Royal Master from the commencement, The determined language which his Lordship made use of in opposing the am bitious view► of Russia, afforded matter of much con versation here in the political circles.

STOCK EXCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The funds which left off yesterday at 7811 opened this morning at 74, with a heavy market. and re main at 78 to I. This is supposed to be owing to the King of France's speech. Letters from Odessa received this morning, dated the 12th October, mention that the Russian troops had gone into winter quarters. Letters of a recent date have arrived from Tortoss, and various other parts of Spain, bringing the agree able intelligence that, in consequence of the rains set ting in, the ravages of the fever had been much abated. The above letters, however, add, that a destructive malady had arisen among the cattle, and that in one week, out of three hundred sheep, seventy-five only had survived. Paris papers to the 6th lust. arrived this morning. The following is an article they copy from the dug& bear: Gazette of the 30th ult. :—. 4, It is generally be lieved, that the journey of Prince Metternich to Han over ill- an incontestible proof of the pacific views of the Cabinets of Vienna and London.

Letters from Sores in Macedonia, of the sth of October, announce that the Paths of Salonica, recently arrived from Asia, had attacked the second time, by means of I reiefortemsenti, the positions occupied by the Greeks 'seat Cassaudria, and which cover that city and Mount Athos ; bat that this brisk attack had taet.the, same fate as its predecessor. if. was beiten and lost a multitude of men.

The discussion %ilea very live; I : IThe Members who spoke in favour of the a r ei c t e, „ id that this arrangement was conformable to the pried pies of the French Constitution of 1791, which w ee d as a model for the Constitutions of Spain and P ot . tugal. Their opponents replied that it was i t consequence of the power of being re-elected to th e sovereign functions that Bonaparte, when Pirst Co me % became a derpot and a tyrant. One speaker, the Ah'e de Medrones referred to the examples of Rome asd Athens, and strove to demonstrate that the toPereipty of the people would be compromised by this re-ele s . tion. The article, nevertheless, passed by a mirth., of 64 votes against 32. On the I.Bthof Ike month, was celebrated in the Church of Saint Domingo, wo the express permission of the King. magnifi em obsequies in memory of the authors and ab e tt ers of what was called the conspiracy of 1817, w h o perished on the scaffold. A subscription opened to raise a monument to these persons. In the Sittings of the Cortes on the 18th .a very warts dig. cussion anise on the question whether the Portngui s government should send troops to Pernambuco. N agy members alleged that this measure was useless. A estes• mission was appointed to make a report on the subject. In the same sitting, the Deputy Fernandez worths raze the buildings of the Inquisition, and to erects. their ruins a column, which should bear this inscripties, " Eternal execration on every Portuguese, who tent not horror at so infernal an invention." This props sition was postponed to another sitting. Letters from Madrid of the 25th ult. represent the tranqnillity of the capital not to have been materially disturbed on that day. Trifling agitations in other parts of Spain are given in detail, but they are scarcely worth notice. French Funds (Monday) 89f. 75c. The speech addressed by the King of France to the two Cha►►►bers was looked for with anxiety, in the pectation it would have annon need something decisive on the points in dispute in the East. It will be fotuvi, however, to have been as vague on this and other points as any speech ever wade to Parliament. The points, however, on which the King speaks oat are those on which we believe he is well warranted, the protection his navy has afforded to his own and other people in the-East, and the improvement that is tail% place in the Finances and the general state of France. , The hirelings of sber press, loons here ana sa Ire. land, bare lahourid to persuade tho.cOintry. thmtLe insurrection in the county of Limerick is coeskei with political societies hero - had Is 'ltaly, and pally slur over the atrocities of the Orange murderers, sell now and then setting them off as inoffensive 1941 gentlemen, the Kirin's most affectionate subjects.
