The number of Deputies was considerable; all the Benches of the right, the left, and the two centres were tilled ; groups were formed in all parts of the hail. The Minister of the luterior being introduced in the usual form, ascended the tribune, all the Members returned to their seats, and profound silence prevailed. His Excellency then proceedtd in his speech, which or copies twenty columns, to develop the nature of the mea sures which he was about to submit 'to the Chamber.

FEB. 9.—Within these few (Lys France and England have seen their Legislative Chambers open. With out wishing to cast any reflections on our neighbours, we will say that our Session commenced under much better auspices than theirs. Goal forbid that we should here en deavour to raise a triumpt. our national vanity, al though, after all, it is a logitituate vanity to be proud of our King. Nor let its wish to flatter him—we do not flatter Kings who cherish their subjects, for flattery is never any thing bat a compensation for the love of the people to those people who have lost it. In England the Chancellor pronounced the Speech—in France it was the King himself. Put the Speech from-tbc Throne in the mouth of a-Minister it will please, because the intentions contained in it are good; hut will it make the same impression ? Will a Minister have a right to use the same accent of paternal authority ? Can he inspire the same feelings of confidence and security ? Who can describe the strength of the look, the gesture, the voice of the Prince, and particularly of ours, with the charm of goodness which he poSsessee? Beside., the absence, of our King at the opening of the Chambers would be to us a cause of more than pain ; it would be a cause of great anxiety; we should fear that it was not illness alone which prevented his inauguration of the Session. For we know that our Kings consult rather their zeal than their strength, when the di:Lies and prerogatives of the Crown are con cerned. We have seen Louis the Eighteenth, weak and ill as he was, came, in spite of his sufferings, to preside over the first sitting of the Chambers. If ever then the King should seem to refuse the authority of his presence at the annual solemnity of the Charter, we should then have a right to be alarmed, and we should be at the eve of some great catastrophe. Some attempts have been made by persons in the higher circles of Paris to extenuate the conduct of the English with respect to the Portuguese who attempted to land at Terceira, by stating that the Marquis Falrnella had de clared to the Duke of Wellington that the expedition was going to Rio Janeiro. Whereas the contrary is the fact ; for the Marquis expressly stated' Terceira was their desti nation. Besides, when by the order of the English Go vernment the transports were visited, it might easily have been seen that vessels, which had only supplies for a month's voyage, could not go to Rio Janeiro.

Prire AMERICAN PAPERS. MExrco.—The Gazette states on the authority of a gen tleman recently arrived from Mexico, that the new Congress was to meet on the Ist of January, and it was the general opinion, when he left, that the first act of the Deputies would be to contest the votes of the states of Puebla. Oajaca, and Yucatan or Corrotro, all of which had voted for Pe draza for President. The reason assigned for this course was, that the elections in these states bad been controlled by the military. If the votes should be declared illegal, new elections would have to t e held in these states, and there was no doubt, in such an event, that they would give their suf. frages for Guerrero, when tranquillity would he restored. But, on the contrary, if the congress should decide is favour of Pedraza, the revolution would continue, and there was no doubt that Guerrero would, eventually, he placed in the Presidential chair. He is the favourite of the people, and Pedrasa is chiefly supported by the old Spanish party. From the mane sonrce it is understood, that Zavala, the former Governor of Mexico, for whose arrest the Govern ment has issued orders, had not left the country for the United States, as was reported a short time since; neither had he taken any money from the public treasury. He had, however, joined Santa Anna, and was acting in concert with him. 5. The THIRD EDITION of " The ROMANCE of HISTORY." 3 vols. Price 3ls. 6d. 6.

Why then the covering sky and all that it contains, Is nothing ; then is l3olternia nothing !" We are delighted to perceiv that the University of Cambridge, in accordance with the growing, libe rality of the age, has rejected the Anti-Catholic Pe tition. To make this rejection the more efficient-- for we will not do such injustice to Alma Mater as. to call it extraordinary—the subject was canvassed not only by the Junior Members of the Senate, with whom such an issue might reasonably have been an ticipated, but even by the big-wigs and senior M.A.'s; by those very Dignitaries who, if the No-Popery alarms could for a single instant be supposed to have an origin in common sense, would be among the first to lose their fat church pluralities. But good feeling and the process of a sound en lightened habit of reflection found their natural level, and triumphantly carried the day. The Divines of Cambridge felt that so long as the Church is under the guidance of devout and intelligent ministers—so long as its doctrines breathe a pure, elevated, and benignant spirit, neither rising into undue enthusiasm on the one hand, nor sinking into careless indiffer ence on the other—so long, in short, as it is the Church of that Saviour whose last words inculcated peace on earth, and good-will towards men;" it will stand, in the calm and majestic consciousness of strength, unharmed by the masked battery of the hypocrite, and flourish for centuries over the ruins ,of the Papal superstition. Indeed, it is the No- Popery alarm, alone, that has elevated Catholicism into its present undue importance. Had its tenets been left to run their own course unmolested, they would long since have dwindled into comparative insignificance; while Brewing, amalgamating, and moving fide by side with the advancing intelligence ,of the age, the brighter portions of its faith would insensibly have become, if not altogether incor porated, at least associated with the Protestant Church in the strenuous advocacy of universal be nevolence. CONTENTION BETWEEN HIS MAJESTY AND THE CATHOLIC XlNth, FOR THE Firi•E. SETTLEMENT OF THE CLAIMS OF BRITISH AND SPANISH SUBJECTS, UNDER THE CONVEN TION CONCLUDED AT MADRID, MARCH 12, 1623. His Majesty the King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and his Majesty the King of Spain and the Indies, being equally convinced of the great and almost insuperable difficulties that have presented them selves in carrying into effect, by means of the mixed Come mission appointed under the Convention concluded on the 12th of March, 1823, the stipulations of the said Conven tion, respecting the claims preferred by subjects of both nations,—have considered that the most speedy and effica cious manner of obtaining the objects which their Britannic and Catholic Majesties proposed to themselves in framing the Convention above-mentioned wonld be that of a cosn promise, or amicable adjustment, in which their said Majesties, by common consent, should assign fixed and proportionate sums for the indemnification of the claimants of both countries, so that each of the two High Con tracting Parties should possess the power of adjudging and satisfying the legitimate claims of its own subjects, out of the sums width each Government should, for such purpose, receive from the other, or of distributing those sutra among the individuals interested, by means of an arrangement mutually agreed upon. With this view their Britannic and Catholic Majesties have nominated and appointed as their respective Pleni potentiaries, namely :—His Majesty the King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the Right Honourable George Earl of Aberdeen, Viscount Gordon, Viscount Formartine, Lord Haddo, Methlick, Tarvis, and Kellie, a Peer of the said United Kingdom, a Member of his Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council, Knight of the most ancient and most noble Order of the Thistle, and his said Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs ' and his Majesty the King of Spain and the. Indies, his Excellency Don Narciso de Heredia, Count of Ofalia, actual Knight of the Royal Spanish Order of Charles 111., Knight Grand Cross of the American Order of Isabel the Catholic, and of the. Legion of Honour of France, Councillor of State, and his said Majesty's Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary on a special Mission to the Court of his Britannic Majesty ; who, after having communicated to each other their respective fnll powers, found to be in due and proper form, have agreed upon and concluded the following Articles : Art.

A few Bceotians, however, fresh from the Cimmerian gloom of the Isle of Ely Fens, stilt stuck fast to their old principles of exclusion and intolerance. Peterborough, Ely, and. one or two other towns in that charming country of bog and fog, had the honour of sending forth these Intolerants— the descendants, no doubt, of that particular tribe of Vandals whom, according to GIBBON, " the Em peror PROBUS transplanted from the banks of the Elbe to the Isle of Ely." There—but there alone —may they still continue to flourish I The soil is worthy of them and they are worthy of the soil. " Et vitttli to dignus et hie." By the minutes of communications made by Mr. CANNING and the Marquis WELLESLEY to different influential personages, on the subject of forming an Administration in 1812, which we have published in our columns of to-day, it will be perceived that so far from his MAJESTY having ever been overse— as more than one Ultra 'I ory Journal has suggested— to the concession of the Catholic Claims, he has in variably been. the first to sanction a Ministry formed expreisly on the consideration of them. Thus then the last resting place of the Brunswiclers is snatched from them, by the very same historic fact that re cords the good sense, consistency, and enlightened character of GEORGE the IVth. While on the subject of these Claims, we would strenuously exhort the Catholic Association, whose members, we perceive, are now busily debating the question of dissolution, to come at once to a una nimous vote in favour of it. To talk of mere, ad journment is idle, they must dissolve immediately, and for ever. Such a measure is due not less to their own character for consistency and good feeling, than to the prejudices of the English nation, who having granted a boon—in their opinion of the most vital importance—with judgment and generosity, have a right to expect that that boon shall be received with equal courtesy.

The Greek Commander Rango had been attacked at Agrafa by 1,700 Albanians, sent against him by Redschid Pacha, and obliged to retire. The Turkish Commander, Kariofyl Bey, then proceeded to Karpenissi, which was besieged; and succeeded in throwing supplies into the place.

Letters were yesterday received from Lord I idollatid, the Marquis of Anglesea, Lord Ebringene, awl several others of the stanneh and steady friends or the cause, echoing the opinion of Mr. Brougham, that the Association should dissolve itself, and importuning the friends of Ireland, in terms the most fervid and einphatie, to exert themselves in achieving that desirable consuming' tion.
