ADMIRALTY, SOMERSET PLACE, Ja N. 2, 1834. HALF-PAY TO NAVAL OFFICERS AND OFFI- CERS OF THE ROYAL MARINES. NOTICE IS H LREBY GIVEN, that on the receipt in the Wages Department, at the Ad miralty-office, Somerset-place, of the affidavit required from each Officer by his Majesty's Orders in Council, a Bill for the amount of the half-pay due will be made out in this Department, which will be p iyable by the Trea surer of his Majesty's Navy, on the following days, viz.— On the 10th and 11th January. To Masters, Sur geons, and Pursers, and their Attorneys. On the 13th, 14th, and 15th January. To Lieutenants at ss. a day and under, and their Attorneys. On the 16th and 17th January. To Lieutenants at 7s. and 6s. a day, and Chaplains and their Attorneys. On the 20th, 21st, and 22d January. To Admirals, Captains, Commanders, and Retired Commanders, and their Attorneys. Great inconvenience having been experienced by the claims of Officers who have not chose to receive their half-pay on the days fixed for their ranks, being preferred on the days appointed for the payment of balf-pay to Officers of different ranks, Notice is hereby given, that no such claims can in future be attended to on the days not appointed for Officers of those ranks; but for the accom modation of such Officers, and also for the convenience of those who may not have transmitted their affidavit suffi ciently early to admit of payment on the above mentioned days, a recall will take place on the 24'h and 25th of Janudry. After which the half-pay will be payable on the first and third Wednesday in every month, excepting during the general payment of half-pay. Officers residing in or near London, and wishing to receive their half-pay in person, are requested to deliver their affidavits into the NA ages-offices, Somerset-place, and transmit them to the Secretary of the Admiralty imme• diately on the expiration of each quarter; and those em pity, ing agents are also requested to furnish their agents with their affidavits as promptly, for unless such docu ments are early delivered into this office, delay in the payment must unavoidably ensue. It sometimes happens that officers apply personally for their half-pay, without having previously sent in their af fidavits, as required by the usual advertisements. Any delay or inconvenience to which they might be subject by this oversight, it is in the power of the officers themselves to prevent by an adherence to the existing regulations. Under the authority of the Statutes relating to the pay of the Navy, besides the abovementioned modes, officers may receive their half•pay in any of the following ways, vix,___ Ist. By drawing a bill for the amount, on a form to be transtnitted from this office. 2d. By a remittance bill, payable to them at or in the neighbourhood of their residence. 3 d• By extract or permanent remittance bill, upon which tho se o ffi cers who reside in the neighbourhood of a dock-yard, where there is an establishment of pay clerks, may be paid. If they wish to receive it by biil of exchange, they are to give notice thereof, by letter, to the Secretary of the Admiralty, marked in the corner, Ha.f.pay, Accoun tant General," and thereupon the proper form will be sent to them. If they wish to have it remitted to them, they must give a like notice to the Secretary of the Admiralty, marked in the same manner, and a but will thereupon be made out and transmitted to them. In all cases, the officer signifying his desire of payment, is to state at the foot of his letter, his Christian and Sur names, his Rank, and a full description of his residence. MM.—Bill of Exchange drawn underor by virtue o f the Act 11 Gro. IV., cap. 20, are not liable to the Stamp Duty. - - • No persons residing out of his Majesty's thininions are entitled to the privileges of this Act.

ANNUAL BIOGRAPHY AND OBITUARY FOR 1834. The following anecdotes from the manuscript journal of the late John Heriot, E , q., the Comptroller of Chelsea Hospital, are given in the 18th volume of that valuable work the Annual Biography end Obituary for 1834:- 4 ' One day, at a large dinner party, at which his late Majesty, then Prince of Wales, was present, a gentleman sitting near to Dr. Mosely, the physician of Chelsea Hos pital, to whom he was a perfect stranger, abruptly asked the Doctor what wine he thought best for general drink ing. ' Sir,' said Mosely, very gravely, 'in my house port, but in yours, claret.' The Prince applauded the reply, and enjoyed it vastly." " Admiral Lord Viscount Keith died lately at his seat in Scotland. He was writing letters after breakfast, and had written one to his brother-in-law, William Adam, Lord Chief Commissioner of the Jury Court at Edinburgh, which he had enclosed in a frank, but not sealed, as he intended to add a letter to his daughter. While writing the letter, however, his Lordship dropped down dead in a fit of apoplexy. It was necessary to announce this event to Mr. Adam ; and the person who did so put his letter into the cover which was found on the table; and thus, to save sixpence, the deceased Nobleman was made to frank an account of his own death !" •' A curious circumstance occurred a day or two ago in the Royal Military Asylum. The Rev. Mr. Clarke, the chaplain, had a.catalogue of the exhibition of the Royal Academy, which be had lent to the Adjutant, Captain Lugard. Mr. Lawrence, the assistant-surgeon, intending to go to the exhibition, sent to borrow Mr. Clarke's cata logue. Mr. Clarke, who was much occupied at the time, hastily wrote upon a slip of paper " Let Mr. L. have Exhib. Cat.' Captain and Mrs. Lugard were both from home, and Miss Lugard, knowing nothing of the catalogue, thought Mr. Lawrence wanted one of their cats. A kitten of theirs had died a few days before, which Miss Lugard much regretted ; but she had the old cat caught and put into a hag, and sent to Mr. Lawrence. That gentleman's astonishment may be conceived when his servant brought him home a bag with a cat in it." • CITY OF LONDON CORPORATION INQUIRY. (Mr. Woodthorpe's examination continued from The Sun of Saturday.) The city day police was 'nazi:dished by an order of the Court of Aldermen. The principal committees of Alder men especially appointed annually are—the police com mittee, the committee of privileges, the committee rela tive to the state of gaols, the committee on charitable gifts, the committee of law charges, the committee for general purposes, the committee relative to Emanuel Hospital, and the committee of livery cloth. The busi ness of this litter committee was to superintend the gra• tuitous and annual delivery of certain quantities of black cloth to certain great officers of state, to the Chief Justice of the King' s B enc h, an d h e (Mr. Wondthorpe) got a piece of it.--(A laugh.) This custom was a very ancient one, but he cored not trace it out to its first origin ; in these standing committees three Aldermen form a quorum, and seven is the full number; in the outer Court the Aldermen do not sit for corporation purposes ; it is entirely a court of justice. Mr. Scott (clerk to the Chamber) gave evidence relative to making persons trading in the city take up their freedom. The first process fur compelling persons trading in the city to take up their freedom is by inquiring of the inquests of the several wards, who report by presentment to the Court of Aldermen the names and addresses of the individuals ; this is accompanied by an order that re ferred to the Chamberlain to summon before him those persons trading in the city, not being free thereof ; on receipt of this order by the Chamberlain, he directs a notlee to be served by the Clerk of the Chamber on every person so reported, to attend on him on a particular day ; on that day the several parties are heard and show cause why they neglected to take up their freedom, when the Chamberlain makes an order on each case as circumstances require. The foreman of the inquest of each Ward attends the Cham berlain on each hearing; in many instances it appears that parties so summoned are entitled to their freedom by pa t' jalopy, servitude, or by having served the King ; then the Chamberlain gives time (two months) to complete their freedom. A second summons is entered if the parties do not appear; and if they do not attend the second sum mons, a third summons is issued, and if they do not appear then, a prosecution is directed against them by the Chamberlain. The inquests do not now generally return wholesale tradesmen. This claim has been allowed to a certain extent, and when they made out that they were solely wholesale traders, they were not proceeded against. Mr. Woodthorpe here alluded to a Report of the Com mon Council respecting the exemption of wholesale traders from taking up their freedom, in which it was set forth that when the office of " foreign trailer" existed, a non freeman or " foreigner" as be was then called, selling goods to another non-freeman, would he liable to the pe nalty of having all the goods so sold confiscated. He (lid not think that obliging persons to become freemen added, at present, to the character or respectability of the city traiiesmen. All actions brought against trading non_free men were in the name of the Chamberlain, but any free man could institute them. Five pounds is the penalty imposed on a person trading in the city without being a freeman. Mr. Scott observed, that the advantages of being a free man were, that he was not obliged to contribute to the expenses of Magistrates and Judges, which, in the shape of a county rate, would be one shilling and three pence or one shilling and four pence a pound on his rental. These expenses were paid out of the freemen's funds. By residing in London, and being free of it, he was exempted from personal service in the militia. _ _ _ . - Mr. Dillon remarked that those fines for not taking up one's freedom were peculiarly galling, since they chiefly fell on the poor tradesman, whilst the rich wholesale dealers were exempt from them. An instance or two of the hardships of them was cited. At half-past four o'clock the inquiry was adjourned to Monday. The railway in progress of formation between Dublin and Kingstown, a distance of six or seven miles, will be opened in the summer of the present year. The principal proprietors are, it is understood, some benevolent and spirited Quakers. DEC. 31.—His Royal Highness Prince Frederick of the Netherlands arrives! here yesterday afternoon, on his re• turn from Berlin. The Staats Courant of to-day contains various parti culars respecting the state of the dikes and of the rivers, the risings of which have done considerable damage in some places, and caused much alarm for the consequences. We hear that several departments of the Administration have received a circular, desiring them to deliver an accu rate account of all the retrenchments that may be made in each of then, in order to fulfil as soon as may be prac- ticable the promises male by the Government to the States-General. Some time ago M. Dedel announced officially to the London Conference that the Cabinet of the Hague bad made the required application to the German Diet to obtain its consent to the territorial arrangement respecting Luxemburg. It seems that the answer to this official notice has hitherto been in vain expected here. This, and especially the expected assent of the Confederation and the collateral branches of the house of Nassau to the proposed arrangements, were the chief and indeed indispensable preliminaries to the resuming of the negotiations. It is said that all the members of the Conference, and our plenipotentiary also, are provided with entirely new instructions, as those which they had before necessarily require to be modified, in consequence of a change of opinions, and of some events, among which we may probably reckon the mission of Prince Von Schwartzen burg. We have every reason to believe, that as soon as negotiations are resumed, and if no fresh obstacles are thrown in the way by the two allied Powers, our affairs will go on well. ST. PETERSBURG'', DEC. 14.—His Majesty the Em peror is expected here to-day from Moscow, accompanied by General Benkendorff. The Turkish Ambassador not having been yet pre sented at Court avoids appearing in public; it is supposed he will be presented to the Emperor immediately on his Majesty's return. The expense of his residence in Russia is defrayed by the Imperial Treasury. We learn that Prince Soutza, the Greek Ambassador, will shortly leave us to return to his post at Paris. A London paper said lately, that the violent animosity of the Russian Government towards England now manifested itself in the journals; that the Moscow Ga zette, for instance, bad affirmed that the next peace between England and Russia would be signed in Calcutta; and added, that this threat was not a mere boast but a project, the means of executing which had long occupied the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh. We are not initiated into the secrets of the Russian Government, but while we greatly doubt the existence of such a project, we cannot refrain from assuming, that no animosity towards Eng land is anywhere to be perceived in Russia, and that neither the Moscow Gazette nor any other journal has contained the smallest article that could give occasion to such a falsehood. It is well known that several speakers in the English Parliament have indulged in the most odious attacks on the Russian Government, but which we may be convinc:d are not approved by the better portion of the English nation, with which we are in friendship. Here we are content to laugh at the empty invectives of those Parliamentary speech:s, and entertain no rancour towards England, which, on account of its commercial interest, is certainly not inclined to a breach with our Government. The satire of the London papers is one of the many ignoble means that radicalism employs to mislead public opinion in respect to Russia.

BRUSSELS, JAN. 2.—Yesterday the diplomatic body, the deputation of the Senate, the Court of Cessation, &c., presented their compliments to the King and Queen on the new year. The speeches spoken on this occasion contain for the most part only the several compliments to the King and Queen, and the Prince Royal. Only those of the Chief Presidents of the Court of Cassation and the Court of Appeal at Brussels, as well as that of the Minister of War, deserve notice, because they touch on political questions. Mr. Clews, a British Cabinet Messenger, passed through Brussels yesterday on his way from Vienna, with despatches fur London. ANTWERP, Jan. I.—We have had a dreadful night, and we are assured that the storm has done much da mage along the dikes of the Scheldt. Several ships were drifting yesterday evening.

The Breda Journal announces the death of Major- General Wideman, governor of that fortress, on the 30.6 of December. DEC. 31.—Last week Mr. Jerningham paid a visit to M. Van Zuylen, to inform him that, according to a pliva.e letter from Lord Palmerston the conferences would not be resumed till after the consent of the German Con federation and the collaterals of the House of Nassau should be officially declared ; thereupon he produced a copy of a letter from the Principal Secretary of State to Lord Minto, English Ambassador at Berlin, in which he was directed to say to M. Ancillon, " that the notion of the Prussian Government, that the disputed points in the Dutch and Belgian question sh.aild be confidentially dis cussed at London, was founded on a misunderstanding, and that nothing of the kind could he undertaken till matters were brought to the point of maturity, which had been long since determined by the Conference. This confidential letter to Lord Minto is said to be written by Lord Palmerston, in his usual imperious and absolute slle. AMSTERDAM, JAN. 3.—We receive from all quarters accounts of the ravages of the late storm, especially of that on the 31st of December. The accounts from Germany are likewise filled with statements of the damage occasion e d by hurricanes, and by the rising of the rivers.

The dreadful storm of the 18 , h raged most furiously on the Elbthal, particularly the Prussian part of it. The damage done in the forests of Count Torgau is immense. Who'e woods of the finest trees are overthrown, and thousands of people are employed in cleating them away. In the circle of Torgau alone it is estimated that the number thrown down by the wind is to the value of 150,000 dollars, as much as is usually felled in five years. The oldest oaks could not withstand the storm, and the roads are every where blocked up by the fallen trees.

POST-OFFICE PROSECUTION—SINGULAR SCENE. —Paul Rivell, a young man of respectable appear ance, late a servant in the twopenny post de livery department of the General Post-uffice, was placed at the bar, charged with having surrepti tiously abstracted a sovereign and a half from a letter, the property of a Mr. Hams, in the parish of St. Pancras, to whom the prisoner was to deliver it. The prisoner's ca ,, e was in the paper for trial on Friday, and Mr. ADOLPHUS applied for its post ponement to Monday, on the ground that the So licitor• General could not attend before that time. Mr: CLARKSON, for the prisoner, objected to this, on the ground that he himself could not attend on Monday. The trial was eventually put off till this evening. Mr. ADOLPIIUS now applied again for a post-, punetnerit, but Such a course - iv . ° most oppressive. The Post-office, he understood, was in fact riot prepared with their witnesses ; but was a poor man to be kept in prison because of the ne gligence of certain authorities ? Mr. Common-Sergeant MIREHOUSE saw no ground for postponing the trial. Mr. ADOLPHUS—then, my Lord, I will challenge the Jury and exhaust the box. Mr. ADOLPHUS accordingly challenged every one of the July as their names were ca ll e d over. Mr. CLAFtKSON now applied to allow the prisoner to traverse unt►l next session on his own recog►►i- zance. Mr. ADOLPHUS objected, upon which Mr. CLARKSON—Then if the trial is put off to Monday I will attend on Monday, and challenge the Jury on my part.—(Laughter, and some clap ping of hands, in which one of the challenged Jurors joined.) Mr. ADOLPHUS—What ! do I see a juror clip his hands ? It I had the power I would have that juror turned out of Court. Nly Lord Kenyon on one occasion fined a man 201. for clapping his hands in Court. I desire that such conduct will not be repeated. Mr. Sheriff WILSON here said he would go in search of a jury. The COMMON SERGEANT would sit the whole night, if it were necessary, in order to try the case. Mr. CLARKSON would wait on the Duke of Itch mond, and represent the disgraceful manner in which the Post-office prosecutions were conducted. Mr. Alderman THOMPSON and Mr. Alderman WINCHESTER remarked that certainly the conduct of the Post-office parties was highly censurable. Mr. Sheriff WILSON here returned, and said he had got a jury, and could have 20 gentlemen, if ne cessary, having despatched coaches to various parts of the county. Mr. CLARKSON here read the 29th clause of the Jury Act, by which it appeared that no juror could be challenged in the name of the King, unless some good cause of objection could be shown Mr. ADOLPHUS admitted that he had not been aware of this clause, and a jury was then sworn. Mr. ADOLPHUS then said—l am not prepared with witnesses ; but if I were, after the most inde corous conduct which I witnessed in the jury -box, most certainly should decline calling one of them. There being no evidence against the prisoner, he was discharged. LIVERPOOL COTTON -MARKET, JAN. 4. The demand for cotton since the commencement of the year has been exceedingly small, consequently the very limited business done has been Id. per lb. decline from the quotations of Friday last. The import this week is 4,866 bags, and the sales are 2,480 bags,—viz., 110 Se Island, 141 d. to 2s. 2d. ; 30 stained ditto, Bd. to 11y. ; 1,450 Bowede, lid. to 94d. ; 350 New Orleans, Sd. to 10id. ; 150 Alabama, &e., 74d. to Sid.; 90 Pernams, 9i-d. to 10/i. ; '7O Bahia, 9d. to 101 d. ;30 Maranham, 9A -I. to Rid. ; 120 Common West India, 7h i. to St I. ; 40 Carthagena, to '7d. ; 10 Smyrna, 9d. ; and 30 Surat, 51d. to 7id. per lb. The cotton market continues dull. The sales to-day amount to a few hundred bags only. BURNS AND DAFT JAMIE.—" The wan dering poor were to the poet a heavy tax; he allowed no one to go past his door without a halfpenny or a handful of meal. He was kind to such helpless creatures as are weak in wind, and saunder harmlessly about. A poor half-mad creature—the Madge Wildfire, it is said, of Scott —always found a mouthful ready for her at the bard's fire-side; nor- was he unkind to a crazy and tippling pro digal named Quin.—' Jamie,' said the Poet one da y as he gave him a penny, you should pray to be turned from the evil of your ways ; you are ready to run now to melt that into whisky.'—' Turn,' said Jamie, who was a wit in his way, ' I wish some one would turn m e into th e worm o' Will Hyslop's whisky-still that the drink might rin continually through me." Well said, Jamie!' an. -wered the Poet, ' you shall have a glass of whisky once a week for that, if you'll come sober for it.'"—From the new Life of Burns, by A. Cunningham. THE KING'S ANSWER. " I receive with pleasure the wishes you express, in the name of the diplomatic body, for France, for my family, and for myseif. Ys.o know the desires I have ever cherished for the maintenance of peace, and my constant efforts to obtain that most desirable object. It is, above all things, in the duration of peace that its inestimable benefits can be developed. The assurances you renew will confirm effectually the general security, by manifest ing the unanimous resolution of all the S svereigns to art with the wishes of their people, in preserving prace, and in defending the established order of things, of which it is the surest guarantee. This is an additional motive for my receiving with heartfelt satisfaction the congratulations you offer me, for which I thank you sincerely." BARON PASQUIER, IN THE NAME OF THE CHAMBER OF PEERS. " Sire,—On this day in the last year the Chamber of Peers, when bringing to your Majesty its annual tribtre of respectful homage, had to congratulate you on many diffi culties having been overcome, and on the honour acquired by your sons in the midst of danger. It approaches yon to-day under even more happy auspices, rejoicing. in a state still more and more prosperous. At home the rocks of danger have not only been escaped, but the greater part of them have, in a measure, disappeared. If some of their points are still to be perceived, they are too completely ex posed for the vessel of the state to receive any damage from them. Abroad have we not the best and most solid rea sons for believing that France is not again for a long time destined to run those glorious risks which would not shake that noble courage to whose first display I have already alluded, and which would again go out to meet them with the same ardour? But let us be allowed to be ambitious of less—ns conscript fathers, us veterans of the country, who have learned from long experience that peace, when pro duced by moderation and good faith, combined with strength and courage, is the greatest blessing any country or nation can enjoy. For this blessing, this precious security whicla surrounds us, we have to address you, Sire; for we owe it to your prudence, your deep respect for engagements entered into, and sworn to—to your spirit of justice and your enlightened love fur a generous people so worthy of being beloved, whose happiness Providence has committed to your care. May you live, Sire, to continue to strengthen and consolidate this happiness, and deign to receive with the gracious benevolence which characterises you, wishes which the Chamber of Peers will never cease to entertain for the preservation of a life, the value of which is so uni • versslly acknowledged." HIS MAJESTY'S ANSWER. " I am affected by the wishes you express, in the name of the Chamber of Peers, for my family and myself. I equally feel your congratulations on the successes we have obtained during the year which has just concluded, on the happiness we experience in seeing France recovered front the stocks she has sustained, and enjoying abroad peace and respect. As you well say, France is in possession of the greatest of all blessings. Her internal prosperity is increas ing in the midst of public security ; and her liberty, freed from disturbance and agitation, has become a guarantee for the rights of all, without compromising those of individuals. The wisdom and experience of the Chamber of Peers has largely contributed to produce these happy results. I take pleasure in thanking it, and assuring it that I rely with confidence upon the same concurrence and the same sup port in its future labours. It must he convinced that I shall never require from it anything that does nut tend to t he happiness of France, to the consolidation of public liberty, and the increase of the national prosperity." M. DUPIN, IN THE NAME OF THE CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, " Sire—To those who have assigned to the Govern.. meat of 1830 a mere ephemeral duration, we have to reply, that the year has four times changed its date since the revolution. of July; th..t in each year every event, erreiigiie - 'which depended upon chance or fortune, has seconded the action of that Government, and thus has brought our affairs to the prosperous state in wbich we now find them. Sire,—l renew to you to-day t!:e same wishes. Happy in being called upon to express them in the name of the Chamber of Deputies, and in the presence of its members who surround me, I shall not wish you snything as necessary for your happiness as the head of a family ; in this respect, Sire, Providence has long granted all you could desire. But I wish your Majesty that for which you have ever been ambitious, and which can alone fully satisfy a good Kine—that under your reign, Sire, France may attain the highest pitch of glory and pros perity ; abroad, friendly rela'ions and afl mrishing corns coerce; peace, as far as it may be possible, but such a peace as y ,, u can a!one desire—a safe an I honourable peace, worthy of the nation ; at home, industry, instruc tion, and comfort for the people—a well-defined liberty, protected by the laws—justice rigidly administered_ public tranquillity insured—the concord of all good zens, and the enlightened concurrence of all the powers of the state, in strengthening your constitutional throne, and in developing our institutions in the true and eenerous sense in which they are construed by the sound opinion of 'he French people. Such are our wishes, Si-", which no doubt arc in accordance with those of the King of the French. The nation relies upon the stability of our insti tutions, but it has confidence in your fidelity in preserving them, and in our firmness in maintaining them." THE KING'S REPLY. " Yes, you are right. France knows that I am entirely devoted to her. At the moment of danger she found me ready to come forward to preserve her from that to which she was exposed. Thus it is, gentlemen, that, thanks to your concurrence, to the support of not only the enlight ened men of •the nation, but also of the great mass of the people, who are equally averse to anarchy and despotism, we have succeeded in satisfying the desires of the Revolu tion of July, in protecting and defending our institutions from every attack, and preserving them for France in all their purity. These, gentlemen, are the results of the concurrence I demanded of you, and which you granted. The nation is now enjoying the happy effects of it, and if I have the happiness of being allowed to believe that my services have been useful to my country, you aho, gentle men, have the satisfaction of having, as Deputies, fulfilled the high trust reposed in you by your country, and of having answered its expectations. Upon this I congratu late you. It is with the same satisfaction that I receive your congratulations on the present prosperity of France ; her advantageous position abroad, where in all parts we have sustained the honour and dignity of France, ever preserving peace—that peace, with respect to which so many alarms and so many doubts have been raised, and the fruits of which we are now gathering by the increase of our commerce and prosperity, and the internal repose we enjoy amidst the general tranquility of Europe. I hope that in the course of the present Session it will be completely consolidated by the laws you will be c illed upon to discuss, and which, by fulfilling the promises of the charter, will accomplish all that France expects from you and from me." THE KEEPER OF THE SEALS, IN THE NAME STATE. e " Sire, conso;itla isCi(n)dUeNbtCedlLtoOyF oufor th don of that constitutional monarc hical g overnment which b — F Fran THE ce can alone answer her wishes. May you lung live to wit ness the national gratitude , of which you have a lr ea dy received so many striki n g testimonies. If, in o r d er to render the action of your government effectual wherever I ttin tnicsloegsniim n the atelY required, it is important t o see pu bli c (unctions hands of men devoted to the King and the charter, who understand their duties, and have sufficient firmness and virtue to fulfil them ; it is no less important that at the head of the administrative hierarchy there should be a body who by its wisdom, experience, and reputation, may enlighten the whole Administration. Such is the tnissi,da of the Council of State. Conse quently, the wish of the King is that this peat and liberal institution a:mold receive from the law new guarantees for its force and dumdum Sire, the most valuable re compense the members of the Council of State can receir is to believe that the King appreciates the utility of their labours. Permit them to lay at the foot of the throne the expression of their devotedness." HIS MAJESTY'S ANSWER. " I thank the Council of State for the wishes you have express. dtome in its name. 1 duly appreciate its impor tant labours, and I am desirous that this great ins•itutlon shomd receive from the law all the force it requites. It is with the concurrence of the wad ,m of the Council of
