FOPEIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. PARIS, JAN. 27.—T0-day his - Majesty opened tUe Session of the Chamber; in the Louvre. After the usual preliminary ceremonies had been gone through, and the Peer:: and Deputies had taken their seat s , his INlajesty eclivered the follow- ing Speech : " Gentlemen, " I am happy in seeing you every year assemble round my Throne, to promote, in concert with me, the great interests of my people. " This satisfaction is the mere lively on the pre sent occasion, as I have pleasing communications to make to yon, and important labours to intrust to yon. " My relations with Foreign Powers continue to he friendly. The assurances I receive from my Allies offer me a pledge, that, notwithstanding the events which have desolated the East, peace will not he disturbed in the rest of Europe. To hasten the pacification of Greece, I have, in concert with England and Russia, sent to the Morel a division of my troops. At the sight of some thousands of Frenchmen, determined to accomplish their noble task, that celebrated country, too long ravaged, has been restored to peace and security. There, as at Navarin, the union of the flags has proved to the world the respect of the three Crowns for the faith of Treaties ; and my soldiers take pleasure in re counting the sincere support which they have found ill the English Navy. " A formal declaration notified to the Porte, has placed the Morea and the neighbouring Islands under the protection of the three Powers. " This solemn act will suffice to render a pro tracted occupation unnecessary. I continue to assist the Greeks, to rebuild their ruins, and my ships to bring back to them those Christian slaves whom the pious generosity of France has restored to their country and to liberty. _ _ _ departmental law, the whole of which shall be in harmony with our institutions. The most difficult questions are connected with this organization. It ought to secure to the communes and to the de partments a just share in the management of their interests; but it must at the same time preserve to the protecting and moderating power which belongs to the Crown the full scope of action and force which public order requires. I have caused a project, which will be presented to you, to be prepared with care. I invite all the meditations of your wisdom to this project, and I confide the discussion of it to your love of the public good, and to your fidelity. Every day gives me fresh proofs of the : a ffection of my people, and enhances the sacredness of the obligation which I have contracted to dedicate myself to their happi ness. This noble task, which you, Gentlemen, will assist me to fulfil, must daily become more easy. Experience has dispelled the charm of insensate theories. France, like yourselves, knows on what basis its happiness reposes, and those who should seek it any where but in the sincere union of the Royal authority, and of the liberties which the Charter has consecrated, would be openly disowned by it. " You, Gentlemen, are called upon to render this union more close and more solid. You will accom plish this happy mission like faithful subjects, and loyal Frenchmen, and your efforts will be equally certai❑ of the support of your King, and of the public gratitude." "So many cares will not prove vain. I have reason to beleve that the Porte, more enlightened, will cease to oppose the Treaty of the 6th July; and it may be hoped that this first arrangemement wi . . not be lost for the re-establishment of peace in the East. " The situation of Spain has allowed me to recall the troops which I had left at the disposal of his Ca tholic Majesty. My soldiers have returned to their country, after having received from the inhabitants of all the countries through which they have passed testimonies of esteem and regret, due to their excel- lent discipline; considerable sums have been ad vanced to the Spanish Government ; a Convention has just been signed to regulate the re-payment of them. " The hope which I still retain of obtaining from the Dey of Algiers a just reparation, has retarded the measures which I may be obliged to take in order to punish him, but I shall neglect nothing to protect the French commerce from insult and piracy; and striking examples have already taught the Alge rines, that it is neither easy nor prudent to brave the vigilance of my naval force. " Engagements, contracted by an ancient French Colony: had ceased to be executed. After having convinced myself that this inexecution was the re sult of inability, I have consented to open with it a more efficacious aegociation, for the interests of the Colonies and of Commerce. " Many of my subjects have suffered by the mea sures taken by the Emperor of Brazil, in his war with the Republic of Buenos Ayres ; some of their vessels have been captured. The convention which I hale just ratified, while it confirmE, with respect to the right of blockade, a conservatory principle always maintained by France, insures to them the restitution of their property and an indemnity pro portioned to their loss. On this occasion, as on all others, I owe praises to the French Marine, which shews itself worthy of its noble mission. " The successive shocks which have agitated some of the new States of South America have left the political situation of those State!: uncertain, and • rendered it difficult to form regular relations with them. The moment is, doubtless, not far distant when I shall ke able to give to those relations a stability advantageous to my subjects: meantime I have appointed Consuls to watch over their interests. " Such, gentlemen, is the happy state of our re lations with foreign Powers. Whatever may be the events that the future reserves for us, I shall certainly never forget that the glory of France is a sacred deposit, and that the honour of being the guardian of it is the fairest prerogative of my Crown. " Order and peace prevail in the interior. French industry,* already so justly appreciated, is daily dis tinguished by sew improvements. Some branches of our agriculture and commerce are suffering ; but 1 hope that it will be possible for me to lessen the evil, if I should not be called to cure it. " The long inclemency of the seasons, and the unfavourable delay which the harvest experienced, awakened for some weeks the solicitude of my Go vernment. Distressing doubts with respect to the state of our resources have been speedily dispelled by more positive information. The subsistence of all is assured ; and if the price of corn, while it aug ments the prosperity of the landholders, increases for a moment the distress of the indigent, Provi dence his created beneficence to relieve those who suffer. (From the Meniteur of Jan. 26.—Official Part.) PARIS, JAN. 25.—His Excellency Count d'Ofalia, :he Spanish Ambassador, presented his credentials :o office in a public audience. " ROYAL ORDINANCE. " I. The Marquis de Pastoret, Vice-President of the Chamber of Peers, is appointed Vice-Chancellor " The Press, freed from restraints, enjoys entire liberty. If licentiousness, its fatal enemy, still spews itself, under the cover of a generous and confiding law, public good sense, which becomes more firm and enlightened, does justice to its aber rations : and the Magistracy, faithful to its noble traditions, knows its duties, and will always fulfil them. of France. " 11. Cardinal Isoard, Archbishop of Auch, and the Sieur Feutrier, Bishop of Beauvais, Minister Secretary of State of Ecclesiastical Affaires, are raised to the dignity of Peers of the Kingdom, with all the rights, honours, and prerogatives attached to it. " 111. The Sieur Bourdeau, Counsellor of State, Member of the Chamber of Deputies, is appointed Under Secretary of State in the Department of Justice." These Ordinances, addressed to the keeper of the Seals, are all dated 24th January. (From the Messager des Charnbres of Jan. 27.) BUCHAREST, JAN. L.—The news seems to be confirmed that the Turks passed the Danube at Turno, and r^pulsed a small division of Russian in fantry. It has been reported for some days that the enemy intended to attempt the passage with a considerable force, but the want of subsistence, and the condition of the roads, render such an attempt next to impossible. The garrison of Silistria, however, has been much increased within these three months. That of Giurgevo ,has been reinforced by 5,000 men, and that of Widder. by 4,000. No alarm, however, is felt at Rajowa. The Gazette de France, dated Tuesday, contains no news whatever. (From the Journal des Debals of Monday. ) PARIS, JAN. 26.—There were two men in the country who could give strength to the Ministry: M. Chateaubriand and M. Pasquier. Between these two it is known which way our inclination disposes us. We thought that M. de Chateaubriand, with hisgenius,fame,and love of Monarchy and of Liberty, could give that to the Ministry which it wants—the power of willing. We cannot avoid, however, doing justice to the great talents of M. Pasquier. His great experience in business, the services he has rendered to liberty in the Chamber of Peers, his oratorical powers—all ren dered him the worthy rival of M. de Chateaubriand. To choose between them was good ; but to call them both to power, and the thing was feasible, would have been better. (From the Quotidienne.) A report was spread this evening that the Duke of Mortemart liad refused the Foreign Department. It was also added that M. de Reyneval had likewise declined it. That much is certain, however, that M. Bourdeau, the Director of the Registry, has been appointed Under Secretary of State in the Adminis tration of Justice. Every thing induces us to believe that the Ministry will open the Chambers with this single modificat ion. (From the Constitutionnel.) SMYRNA, DEC. 13.—Letters from Canea, dated the 19th November, mention that Doctor Caporal, of Smyrna, who was at Candin with Soleyman Pacha, has been sent by that Chief to Canea, to con cert with Mustapha Pacha, and the English and French Commanders, the means of concluding an armistice between the Turks and the Greeks. The interview took place the next morning, and a fa vourable issue was expected, because there seemed to he a disposition on both sides to admit, as a basis to the armistice, that each land-owner, whether Greek or Turk, should gather in the harvest of his property. Both parties rely much on the spirit of conciliation of Captain Robert, who commands the French fiigate La Syrene, at anchor at Suda. The health of part of the crew of the French ship Le Conquerant will re quire that the said ship should spend part of the winter at Smyrna. It is thought that the French Admiral, should he be obliged to go to the Archi pelago, would hoist his flag on board the Fleur de Lys frigate, which he visited, and ordered to ma nazuvre, on the 10th. He expressed to the Com. mander the satisfaction he felt at the discipline of that ship, the skill of the crew, and the good order that prevailed in every branch of the service.— Augsburgh Gazette.

The necessity of placing the religion of our fathers in security against any attack—to maintain in my kingdom the execution of the laws, and at the same time to insure among us the perpetuity of the Priesthood, have induced me, after mature reflection, to prescribe measures which I have felt to be neces sary. These measures have been executed with that prudent firmness which : reconciles the obedience due to the laws, the respect due to religion, and the just regard to which its Ministers are entitled. Communications will be made. to you on the state of our finances. You will be happy to learn that the Estimates of the Revenue for 1828 have been exceeded. This increasing prosperity has not relaxed the system of economy in which my Government endeavours daily to advance farther, without, how ever, forgetting that useful expence is also neeessary,.. " Numerous labours will occupy thf. o 7 l os.sion, which is opened to-day. You Oil have to discuss a case which is destined for the7army, and deserves serious attentioN. The law on the endowment of tie, Chamber of Peers, and many other laws worthy of your whole attention, will be presented to you. A serious and important project will, above all, call for your solicitude. It has been long since acknow ledged, that there is a necessity for a new municipal LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY .0, 1829. Meaning manufactures. We, this day, present our readers with the Speech of the King of FRANCE to the Cham- bers, which we had expected to have been able to give -yesterday, but our Express, owing to various casualties, did not arrive till past twelve o'clock last night. On another occasion we hope to be more fortunate. The Straits of Dover are not always favourable for speedy en terprise. Last year our Express reached The Sun office by a quarter-past four in the after noon, being only twenty-five hours and a quarter from Paris to London. His most Christian Majesty's Speech is on the whole highly satisfactory, breathing a tone of conciliation and forbearance which must tend in a great degree to alleviate any apprehensions o' alarm for the repose of Europe being disturbed so far as the present disposition of France is con• cerned. His Al AJESTY sets out with congratulating ,he Chambers upon the satisfaction he enjoys ti having pleasing communications to make to them. He then assures them that his relations with Foreign Powers continue to be friendly, and that notwithstanding the events which de solated the East, peace will not be disturbed in the rest of Europe. This is all the notice which he takes of the war between Russia and Turkey, and perhaps, in the present delicate con juncture, any broader insinuations might widen the breach or misunderstanding which is sup posed to exist between Russia and her watchful Allies. The pacification of Greece, and the deliverance of the Morea by the French troops, acting in concert with England and Russia, is then refer red to, and his MAJESTY compliments the. English Navy for the sincere support afforded to his soldiers, who take pleasure in recounting the generous sympathy manifested by their brave rivals in arms. A solemn declaration notified to the PORTE, (by the mission of M. JAUBERT, we presume)„ has placed the Morea and the neighbouring islands under the protection of the three Powers. This solemn act will, it is hoped, render a pro tracted occupation of Greece by the French ;mops unnecessary ; and his MAJESTY believes (we must have some stronger proof,) that the PORTE, becoming more enlightened, will cease to oppose the treaty of July, which it may be hoped (poor consolation) will lead to the re-es tablishment of peace in the East. We hope the very same thing, but we, at the same time, fear that the chances of peace are as dis tant as ever, and will continue so unless the PORTE will condescend to be more tractable to the wishes of the Allies—a circumstance not very likely, while one of the Allies remains tie bitter enemy of the PORTE. We apprehend that England and France must interpose not their friendly, because that can be trifled with, but their armed mediation, which will brook no equivocation, between Russia and Turkey, before matters can be adjusted on a secure, if not a satisfactory basis. An overland despatch has reached the India House, which was brought by Major Barnewall, who left Bombay the 22d of October. We are sorry to find he brings melancholy news respecting the state of health at Bombay. Two of the Judges of that Presidency, Sir E. West (Chief Justice) and Mr. Justice Chambers, had died. Sir J. P. Grant is the only remaining Judge in the Pre sider7ey. Sir E. West, who is thus lost to India and to his country, was a man of great talents and moral qualities. He is known beyond his profession as the author of the pamphlet on the Nature of Rent, published by him while a Fellow of University College, in which he expounded the same opinions on the subject which were about the same time advanced by Mr. Malthus, and afterwards applied by Mr. Ricardo. In his judicial capacity- his conduct was marked by a zeal for justice and a determination to die. countenance oppression, which made him a favourite, we be lieve, with the natives, though his occasional warmth of temper (justified, perhaps, by the abuses which he had to controul) set him at variance with sotne of the lawyers of the Presidency. In addition to the two Judges, the death of Mr. tridgman is reported to us, and he is described as Advocate-General. In the previous accounts, however, Mr. Dewar was Advocate-General, though, perhaps, act ing pro temporc till the arrival of Mr. Bridgman.— I Morning Paper. • The allusion to Spain proves nothing, Much money has been thrown away upon that country, and a convention has been entered into for the repayment of the money ; but that convention will be evaded on a similar plea to that of Hayti —inability to perform its engagements, and France will be the sufferer. But a recognition of the debt will enable France hereafter to inter. meddle in the affairs of Spain, whenever poli tical expediency may render it necessary. With respect to the Dey of ALGIERS much is threatened, but more is expected. The 1, blockade has neither protected French Com j merce, nor humbled the audacity of the Dey. Probably the contemplated augmentation of the French Navy may be with a view of enabling the KING the better to punish the Corsair. After alluding to Brazil, and the appointment of Consuls to the South American Republics, his MAJESTY refers to the internal situation of France, which though not altogether exempt from distress in some branches of Agriculture and Commerce, is yet favourable. The Press of France enjoys entire liberty. This is the greatest victory which the Liberals have achieved, and which tvihl, in its effects, prove the most be neficial to France. The prosperous state of the Finances affords occasion for congratulation, with a promise that the system of economy will not be relaxed. Va rious laws will be submitted to the Chambers, some of which are of great importance. In short the Speech is altogether of a pacific elm racter, but we apprehend that it is not alto gether sincere in its professions—that more re mains in the . back ground than it is prudent to divulge at present. and a proclamation had been issued, dated the Ist December, by President VICTORIA, ad dressed to the Mexican people, exhorting them to place confidence i❑ the firmness of the Go vernment and to remain peaceable, avoiding be ing led into the snares of SANTA ANNA. In the moan time the regular troops are stated to have evinced the best disposition towards the existing Government ; but it is but too plainly strewn that the Government was in a very un settled state, and the prey of domestic troubles. A Buenos Ayrcan Mail has arrived, and brought letters from thence of the 12th Novem ber, and from Rio de Janeiro of sth December. Arrivals of vessels at the former port 'were ex ceedingly numerous, one half of which would be obliged to leave in ballast ; freights were offered at reduced rates, and were at 51. per ton ; they were scarcely to be procured. The re ported quantity of hides accumulated during the war, which had been stated at a million and a half, had been reduced to 600,000. As most of the vessels that had arrived, to the number of 110 from the Ist October, were in ballast, ma nufactured goods were brisk at good prices. The exchange upon England was 18d. per dol lar ; doubloons 48 paper dollars each, and they were expected to be still higher. This decline in the exchange had been occasioned by the nu merous shipments which were being made. Nu merous failures had taken place, particularly among the native houses, and, the writer ob serves, the worst appears still to come. Settling day in this country is likely to present, in minia ture, the same kind of distress which was felt in Great Britain immediately after the close of the late war. The accounts had arrived at Buenos Ayres of the rupture between Colombia and Peru. From Rio de Janeiro no news ; the ex change rather higher, 29id. per milrea. Calcutta John Bulls of the 30th Aug. have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. They contain but little that is interesting. The steam-boat Hooghly was to proceed up the river as far as Allahabad the fol lowing week, with the design of ascertaining the practicability of establishing a steam communica ti NI with the Upper Provinces. Au extract of a letter from Dooab, dated the 15th, ten is to prove that the exceptions to the general failure of the indigo crop are not so few as many seem dis posed to imagine. During the last 30 days we have had incessant rains, which have proved of the utmost benefit to the plant at this factory. We commence manufacturing on the 20th. The cultivation is remarkably fine, and, though ra ther dwarfish in comparison with former years, yet, from the leafy state, we think, with some reason, an excellent produce.

CRIMINAL INFORMATION—THE KING V. ELLIS. Sir J. SCARLETT appeared to show cause against a rule obtained by Mr. Erskine fora-criminal informa tion against Mr. Cartwright and John N. Ellis, for something like a challenge sent to some Magistrates of Cornwall, named Mr. John Scovel, Mr. Tre minier, Mr. Le Grace, Mr. Painter, and another gentleman. As the affidavits were very voluminous he (Sir J. Searlett) thought it would save time to state the chronological order of the facts which led to it. The gentleman for whom the Learned Coun sel appeared, was the son of Mr. J. Ellis, well known in the county of Cornwall ; his father was formerly an attorney, but was afterwards called into Parliament. Ilk character had always stood high, and his rela tions were affluent. He had an uncle, a magistrate of the county, who was much attached to him. The uncle had introduced Mr. J. Ellis to his connections as his nephew, and had made him a member of the Cornwall Club. He bequeathed a great part of his real estate to this faromitenephew. At this time, the brother and sister of Mr. J. Ellis were dissatis fied with this disposal of the property, and com menced proceedings against the will in the Ecclesi astical Court, and brought up a former will which they had found since their uncle's death. Mr. J. Ellis allowed Mr. Pascoe, the- steward of the de ceased Mr. Ellis, to receive the rent of the tenants of the estate as usual. It turned out that the Court passed their judg ment against the will, and Mr. J. Ellis immediately appealed to the Court of Delegates ; but as he was possessed of no great personal property, he thought the best mode of trying the question was to try it in the county of Cornwall. He then brought an action of ejectment against the tenants, and served the usual notices. That action was defended, and he prepared to meet it, but at the trial the pleas were withdrawn, and the brother and sister of Mr. Ellis agreed to pay all the costs of the proceedings in the Ecclesiastical Court on condition of his ceas ing to prosecute his appeal. He saw no reason for prosecuting the appeal farther and gave it. up. He then established his residence in Penzance, and it was impossible for the gentlemen on the other aide not to know the whole of these facts as they were a matter of public notoriety. Mr. Scovel, one of the parties now complaining, called upon Mrs. Ellis to congratulate her on the termination of the law-suit. This was in 1824, and in August, 1826, Mr. Ellis had at first an idea of going to re side abroad, but he altered his intention, and built a mansion on his deceased uncle's estate, at Penzance. He had previously qualified as a magistrate. Mr. Scovel called at that time, being still on terms of great intimacy, and expressed his satisfaction that he was not going to lose so good a neighbour, and asked Mrs. Ellis when Mr. Ellis was going to be among them, moaning to take his seat as a magis trate on the bench, he having already been qualified. She replied that she believed very soon. Shortly afterwards, however, an adjourned General Quarter Sessions was held at Penzance, and Mr. E. attended to take his seat. There were then _present the The following are extracts from the Diario Fluminense to the sth of December : RIO DE JANEIRO, NOV. 27. Magistrates who had been named. He was then told by the Magistrates that they were attending other business, and could not swear him in. They shortly afterwards adjourned, and the next da► one of them called upon Mr. Jordan, Mr. Ellis's solici tor, and informed him that the Magistrates had formed a resolution not to administer the oaths, or to act with Mr. Ellis. Mr. Jordan inquired the reason, but the Magistrate declined giving any. Mr. Ellis applied the next day to be sworn, and was told by the Magistrates that they had made up their minds not to do it, or to state any reason for declin ing, and Mr. Ellis was obliged to submit. Dur ing the whole of these transactions, the young gentleman, for whom the Learned Counsel had now appeared, was at Cambridge, and abroad, and received the intelligence of their proceedings from his family. Mr. J. Ellis made several other applications, but the Magistrates. would never assign any cause, and he at last wrote to the whole five implicated, requesting their at tendance at a General Quarter Sessions, when he intended publicly to assert his right to the oaths. They did not attend, and he was sworn without hesitation by other Magistrates. Mr. Ellis still de manded an explanation, but in vain. About this time Mr. Ellis, junior, returned to England, and finding such a cloud hanging over the honor of his family he sent a letter from London by a friend named Goddard, to each of the five gentlemen, who took no notice of it ; and being the heir entail to his father's estate, he felt himself called on to de mand an explanation of the accusation, which i►nputed some obscure crime to his father. He then wrote a letter, which was warm, but might well he excused under the circumstances, to the three lay Magistrates, which was the subject of this application. This letter extracted the ground of the accusation, which was from their affidavits, that they had read in some newspaper a report of a trial in the Ecclesiastical Court, in which Sir John Nicholl had declared against the will for the de fendant, and had said that it was the mechanical execution of it to which he objected, as it was as bad as if the man had been dead, and that Mr. Ellis deserved some punishment. Mr. Ellis now swore that there was et) such expression contained in the short-hand writer's notes, and he believed that no such expression was used. This was the cause which led to the letter complained of, and the Learned Counsel submitted, that it did not call for the interference of the ourt.

THE FUNDS.--(THIS DAY.) CIT. Y, TWELVE O'CLOCK. (These Papers are entirely filled with local news and extracts from the European Journals.) The Austrian Observer of the 16th Decem ber has been received, but its contents furnish nothing new : JASSY, JAN. S. Count Pahlen has selected from the 15 candidates proposed by the Boyard!, five persons to form a committee of administration. It seems that the Count intends to .top some time at Jassy, as he has sent General Milkovitz to Bucharest, to act as Vice- President in the administration of Wallachia during his absence. We learn from Fokschani that the troops, both infantry and cavalry, which had gone into winter_ quarters in the vicinity both in Wallachia and Nlol davia, had received orders to march immediately to Little Wallachia, and had set out on 29th Decemler. The reason of this is said to be, that the Turks in Widdin had received large reinforcements, and that Tchapan Oglou, with a large body of cavalry, had come from Nicopoli to Turno. It is said that Kutschuk Achmet, Pacha of Giurgevo, is appointed Governor of Silistria, and his predecessor in the latter command to the post of Governor of Shumla. The English Funds have been very buoyant this morning, which, in a great measure, may be at tributed to the Speech of his most Christian Ma jesty, which is considered very pacific, and the ap parent scarcity of stock in the market.

Greeks. The meeting was to take place the following day, and was expected to end favourably, both sides being inclined to adopt as the basis of the agreement, that every land-holder, whether Greek or Turk, should gather the produce of his own land. ------- The accounts from Rio being favourable to the Brazilian Mining Shares, they have advanced to 43 pm.
