On Saturday evening, about six o'clock. his MA MITT arrived at his Palace iu Pall.assll from his 1 Palace at Brighton. Parliament will be opened to-morrow by the KING in person, and as it will be the first occasion of his Winne/ meeting his Parliament since his coronation, the august ceremony will be performed with the utmost magnificence. Speculation has been very busy in regard to the probable character of the opening Speech, and the Stock Exchange experienced on Saturday some of its beneficial effects. It is generally believed that with respect to foreign affairs the Speech will be of • pacific tendency. There has been of late • very ac tive interchange of couriers between the Court of Carlton House and the Cabinets of the principal Continental Powers, and we are as sured that the Ministers entertain the firmest hopes that the peace of Europe will not be dis turbed. In the negocistions between Russia and the Porte, Great Britain hes taken a very promi nent part, and it has not been concealed that her efforts have been strenuously directed towards the preservation or general tranquillity. To Turkey, therefore, our Government has appeared in the character of a friend ; bet should the interests of Greece be sacrificed to the preservation of Turkey, humanity will have no cease to exult in the success our exertions. The domestit concerns of the empire must, how ever, form the topics of most immediate interest, attdthe Speech, no doubt, will be framed in a man- I air to Litter odt iotaiest wishes. the WANT, to the retells - of the 'ensue is the last r, may now boast of the ileatocdd reaterees the country = sod ig rompatima with aim* late years', the traoq oil hty of the people of Great Bri tain may body:eft spun with coutplocoacy. But to !relied Mw can the Speech refer with confidence of that unfogtometsywietyy must be thin:lo'6pm to the wisdom Jiiatasent, fur the power 4 the Executive has Ames tried with its utmost strength, and has unhappily been found inadequate to correct the evil. Promises of economy closed the lad Session, and must commence the present. The estimates are now framed, and every rye is turned with anxiety to the remit of the labours of the Ministers. The public is every part of the country deinsod re trenchment with a spirit which will not be satisfied by the pitiful sacrifice of a few clerks. The Paris Papers of Thursday last, like Shag many days preceding, are chiefly if not exelnaivefy occupied with the lengthened debates in the Chats bee of Deputies, upon the project of law for pre venting the abuses of the press. Pains have been taken by the Ministers and their friends to enlist upon their side in this discussion every feeling which might be influenced by a knowledge of the wishes entertained by the KING and the Royal Family upon this subject. M. PxyaosexT, the Keeper of the Seals, was complimented by bis MAJESTY, in presence of the whole Court, upon the speeches which he delivered in the Chamber, iS support of the law; and the King's brother and heir presumptive, we are also told, expressed his 'sties faction to the Minister at his conduct in the mod flattering terms. There is much wisdom in the principle of soar constitution, which presumes that the Sovereign's feelings are not deeply involved in any question Submitted to Parliament by his Mi. 'bider*, and the sehinould not be considered as acting very judieiourly were he to neglect its ids. vious policy. The influence of the Ktmo's name does not seem to be at all required by the Minis ters of France in the present struggle; theii success has been as great as they could desire. The discussion on Wednesday commenced with thi seventh article of the new law, which enacts that all intentional mistatements in the publication or the debates in either Chamber, shall be punished with a line not less than 1,000 fr. and not exceed ing 6,000 fr. ; and that in case of a second offence, or where the statement shall be offensive to the Chambers, or to any member of the Chambers, the editors of the journals 411 suffer imprison ment from one month to three years, and the joornala offending shall be prohibited final ever after publishing the debates. An amendment pass proposed, mitigating the severity of the 1 iOhroent. The intendment was supported [ 119 M. B. CONSTANT, who in the course of his speech alluded to • postage in Humes His tory of 4logiond, in which the philosophic Histo rian condisilled the use of spies and of suborned witnessee,‘Ami practised in the reign of the infa mous Commas 11. "The writers of those times," said M. CONSTANT, " have shewn the canoes of the troubles that agitated the reigns of CHARLIS H. and hien 11. These Princes endeavoured to or ganise • counter-revolution. By corrupt elections they rendered themselves musters of the Parliament, sod formed a violent House of Commons, where the liberty of speech was stifled. Then perished SYDNEY, Russatt, sod other patriots, sod Eng. land was the scene of persecution and slavery. But what was the result ? A few years rolled on, and the people of England asserted their rights by the expulsion of the STUARTs." This sentence was fol lowed by • tumultuous clamour, and several voices from the right exclaimed, " This is the secret of your party," and M. CoRNIT D'INcOIMT, who spoke next, applied the allusion as " a sinister prophecy." This was followed by a very angry and violeut altercation, in which little regard was paid to the decorum of language. M. De GIRARDIN censured the Ministers very strongly for their insin cerity and want of esteem for the Charter, and observ ed, that such Ministers might well desire to impose restraints upon the press, that the public should not be made acquainted with the degree of confidence to which they were entitled. This charge was warmly resented by M. DE VILLELE and M. Dt LA noURDoNNATis, who denied that they had chenged their opinions or betrayed their engagements. The latter, with animated declamation, declared that lie and his friends desired the Charter with all its con sequences, and it was on that account, and because they sincerely desired the liberty of the press, that they now proposed to save it from the destruction that must await upon licentiousness. He appealed to the opinion of France, and charged the Opposi tion with invoking rebellion. This speech pro duced a violent agitation upon the left side of the Chamber ; charges and recriminations parsed from either side, end the PIIIIDENT vainly exerted his authority to restore tranquillity. M. Mariun. in the course of his speech remarked, that a condition was imposed upon the King of FRANCS when he was placed upon the throne, and that every one was aware that when his MAJESTY signed the de claration of Saiut-Ouen, there were 200,000 fo reign troops in France, and that the people were yot then accustomed to the idea of obeying the sceptre of the BoUßßONS.—(Viasist He did not deny the rights 4. ss Royal Family, bet certainly the boviioas were not at that period known in France.—(increating lawalt.j The speaker was asked by a Member on tee right tide, whether he supposed that he was restored to " hie Aradred days," when he had ventured to eay that the BOVIU3OIO could not constitute th e happiness of France. lie repteilLitiLitterrly rite a fact.

With language so nicely chosen, sod tempers so admirably qualified for the pursuit of truth, the Chamber of Deputies cannot fail to arrive at a just sod sound decision. We have sometimes had the good fortune to witneas the proceedings in front of the hustings at Covent. garden, on the occasion of an election of Reprise). tatives for Westminster, but we must yield the palm of superior politeness and decorum to the French Chamber of Deputies. Do our readers feel any interest to know that the amendment proposed at the commencement of the debate was negatived, and the original article adopted ? The Chamber then adjourned.
