MADRID, MAY 24. , --His - Majesty has annulled sill the acts of the Coetes;subsegneut -to the day of pis setarn to his ttfrritories, I.F.GiSLATIVE BODY. „PARIS, .I.—The King entered the Hall of the Legislative Body at half-past three, preceded by a Deputation' of the Legislative' Body,.' of 25 . llembers,,who had. been -in waiting for him at •the foot of the stair 3, accompanied by the Princes Othe Blood, anti the Marshals of France, who proceeded to place themselves around the Throne. The cries of '1 Vive lc Roi !” were universal.— The acclamations were redoubled when the King took his seat upon the Throne ; the most illustrious nobility of France, the .bravest Generals of the army, the most celeiSrlted' .Statesmen, the MiniSters, participated the enthu iiasm and respect which his presence inSpired.- 7 - The acclamations of the AsSetuhly were mingled with the sound of cannon, the signal of peace, awl of melodious music playing on the outside. — Monseigneur', the Chancellor, was at,the feet of the Kin , ' to the left, on a chair . of antique shape; the Dukes of Angotderne and Orleans standing on. the' right of his Majesty; the Duke de Berri and 'Prince de Conde on the left. TheLegisiative .B oily ;were standing. The King was dressed in. blue, with two epaulettes, the cordon bleu over his Coat, and a French hat with white feathers.' His Majesty being seated on the Throne, took off his bat, put it on again, and, with a firm,"audi bie, and sweet voice, pronounced the following speech : • " Gr.mrintrN—When . far the first time I come into this Assembly, sot-rounded by the great Bodies of the State, the • Representatives of a nation which does'not cease to lavish upon me the tuost affecting marks of its love, I congratu late myself on having become the dispenser of those blcs_ sings which the - Divine Troviderice deign; to grant•to my • people. , " I have made with Austria, Russia, png: ind, and Prussia, a peace, in which are included their Allies, that is to say, all the Prince's of Christendom. The w.4r Was universal. The reconciliation is the same. " The rank which .France has always held among the na tions, has not been transferred to any other, and remains to it without partition. Every thing which the other 'States have acquired of security, equa)ly increases hers, and conse quently adds 'to her real power. That, therefore, which she , does not i'etain of horconquesti, oughtnot to be regarded as. , a retrenchment of her real strength. • _" The glory of the French -arms has received no stain; the monuments of their valour subsist, and the clufs d'iruvres' of the arts belong to us iii future, by rights more stable and wore sacred than those of victory. Tile • channels of commerce, s 6 long clgsed, are. going to be opened. The market.of France will be no longer the only one open to thz productions of its soil and its industry. ' Those - for which' habit has created a want, or which are ne cessary to the arts which it exercise, will be supplied to her by the Colonies,which she recovers. She will no longer. be obliged to deprive herself of them, or to obtain them only *ion ruiueus terms. Our manufactures are about to retlou fish, our maritime cities to revive, and every thing promises that a long peace ahread,and permanent felicity at home, will he the happy fruits of the peace. A melancholy recollection, nevertheless, disturbs rui joy. I was torn, I flattered my self that I should remain my whole life, the most faithful subject of the hest of Kittp, and this day I occupy his place ! But, however, he is not entirely dead ; he lives again in this testament which he left for the instruction of the august and 'unfortunate C.hild who ought to have reigned before ,me.— It is with eyes fixed upon this immortal wo•k,it is penetrated with the sentiments which dictated it; it is guided by the ex . perience, anti seconded by the counsels of several among you that have drawn es the Constitutional Charter %Inch is now going to be reap, and which is founded upon the solid bases of the prosperity of the. State. „ " My Chancellear will acquaint you ih detail with my pa trrnol intentions." It would be difficult to describe the profound emotion, the sentiment of tenderness and grati tude, with wr;hic•h the speech of the King .was heard, or to give a just idea of the paternall!c cent and affecting sensibility with which it was delivered. Reiterated acclamations, and new shouts of " Vire le Roi !" btirst forth on every side. The King: erdcred the Chancellor of France to communicate the Constitutional Charter. The most proff,mici silence prevailed. The Chancellor theti made a speech of some length, in 'Mira he' dwelt with force acid elo quence upon the principal articles of .the new Charter, of which a correct copy was gi,eCn raper of yesterday. The Charter. having been read, loin!, applause followed, The•Onintsrllpr hating kneeled again at the foot of 'the Throne, received orders from the'King, and several „De clarations relative to it 3 execution were then an nounced.

French coast, next to England, to embark there. GOT IT4NBURGII GOTTENBURGII, MAT 29. Prince Christian Frederick was unanimously choscu King of Nor way, and proclaimed on the 19th.
