LONDON, TUESDAY, JA\L'•RT 4, 1843.

The Paris Papers of Saturday arrived last night. The
only article of foreign intelligence they contain is a confir-.
melon of the victory of the Greeks over "ISLAMIC Pants.
Many Egyptian prisoners of war had arrived at Hydra
The Addresses of the Chambers in reply to the Ktsm's
Speech were presented on Friday. As usual, they merely
echo the royal sentiments. That of the Peers concludes
in a style which would almost lead one to suspect that
M. de CHATEAUBRIA ND, though be was himself rejected
from the Committee, had, by means of his noble friend,
•the Duke de MoNt MonrN cy, contrived to employ his pen

in drawing up this document.
" The France of Clovis and St. Louis will be rerewed in the
Trance of Charles the Tcnth, and the restoration of the monarchy
will he the anniversary of its foundation. The successor of St.
'Clovis will he seen receiving the holy all from the hands of the
succesor of St. Remi, and attesting the same God before the same'
altars. There will be seen another Clotilde, full of courage and of
faith, who has obtained the blessings of heaven for the arms of her
r•tsband, and who will implore them for the kingdom of her father.
Jr. the two great bodies of the State present at this Royal cere-
monial, who, to use the expression of your august predecessor,
unite the present and the put, will be found the Chiefs of the Army
and the Nation, who will devote themselves with Clovis to the wor-
ship of the Christian religion, and to the service of the Monarchy-
And whilst your Majesty shall invoke, as a witness to the purity
of your engagements, Him who judges people and kings, and
shall renew the oath of observing anti main!aitting the lows of the
State, and the institutions confirmed by your brother, we prostrate
before the same altars, happy in obeying a l'rinee who is proud to
he cur ruler; and will offer up to Heaven our ardent wishes for the
preservation of your Majesty's life, the prosperity of your rein,
and the happiness of trance."
The KING'S answers will be found below. They are
nowise remarkable, but, perhaps, as breathing strongly
that spirit of retrogradation which marks the proceedings
of his Cabinet. The Opposition Papers observe with re-
gret that neither in the Addresses of the Chambers, nor in
the Royal Speech, was the Charter once named. When
we published the latter, we remarked that it was strange
that in the first public declaration of CrrAut.Es X. he
s'reuhl avoid any mention of the Charter, while lie affect-
c.lly talked of the " institutions grantett by his brother."
The French Ministerial Journals hold a tone decidedly
eclinter-revc,lutionary. It seems probable that the pur-
posed, indemnity to the emigrants is but the forerunner
of designs yet more dangerous. On... Monday, the projects
of law respecting fhis indemnity and the civil list, were
to be laid before the Chamber of Deputies. M. de Vit.-
LELE, in order to strengthen Lis influence in the Upper
Chamber, intends, it is said, to create a great number of
Peers for life. Ile has succeeded in sending away the
Prince the Po truNA c, who left Paris on Friday morning

tc return t.) his embassy here.
The Journal de In co! it Or states, that an Ordinance
-vas issued on the 18th ult. for etnivelying 60,090 men of
the class of 1824. It is singular that this ordinance has
net eppeared in either the Monitrer or the Bulletin des Lois.
I From the Moniker of Saturday.]
The offichl part contains the Addresses of the two Chambers.
The deputations were received at Irtlf-past seven, on the 31st, to
present both the Addresses and the respectful compliments of the
Chambers on the New Year.
The Address of the Peers was read by the Chancellor.
The King replied—
" Gentlemen—lt would be difficult for me to express the satis-
faction I feel at the sentiments expressed in the name of Ate Cham-
ber of Peers. I shall embrace every opportunity to give it proofs of
my confidence, and I depend on The reciprocity of their sentiments.
" I shall cause a law to be presented to the Chambers, which I

doubt not will unite all the French, u they are united in my
heart.; but I shall not stop them, Gentlemen ; the Sessions will he
renewed, and I shall congeal' thove ameliorations tuba successively
proposed to you, which I shall judge useful to the happiness of a

people so dear to me.
•' What glory for the Throne and for you !—for I shall completc,
I hope, this happy wish, in concert with you, Gentlemen, and
seconded by the God that protects France."
The Address of the Chamber of Dept ties was then read by M.
Raves.

The King answered—
•• Geutlemen,—Deeply affected by the sentiments which the
Chamber of Deputies has just expressedho me, I can arty answer
with my heart—Yes. we shall always agree, for the 6lery and hap..
pines of France. A anion of sentiments; a union of principles:
we-shalt never separate. Proud of contibuting to the felicity of this
beautiful France, which we all love, I shall faithfully fulfil theinten.
tions of a brother, whom I lament. I shall not confine myself to
this, Gentlemen; be assured that I shall always seek whatever the
welfare of my people shall require of me. What a satisfaction to
us, Gentlemen, as I have said tcrthe Chamber of Peers, to repair
our misfortunes, and cause them to be forgotten. I shall succeed,
if God grants me life ; but if Providence should not allow me time,
there is my son, Gentlemen, who would complete what I should
have begun. Gentlemen, believe my sentiments, and if I express

them to you 'with sensibility, believe also, that it is with satisfaction
I receive the expression of yours."
[From the Etaik, dyed Sunday.]
A lettet from Trieste, in the Augsburg. Gazelle. lays—" A
vessel from Constantinople brings dispatches from Hydra of 6th
December, perfectly confirming the event! of I:2th November.
It was after being again beaten by the Greeks that Ibrahim I'acha
retreated to the Bay of igarmarissa. Another division of hie
fleet has already steered for Alexandria. The Greeks say he had
three brigs burnt : they have taken, besides, five schooners and
seventeen transports. Several Egyptian Captains, prisoners of war,
have arrived at Hydra.
We cannot state the prices of the French Funds, as the
Caere Authenthisc did not come last night with the papers,
nor does the Etoile contain any statement of the prices of
the funds for Saturday. The Ji.urnahles Debuts, also,
was not received.

It was stated yesterday with great confidence, by those
who ought to be well informed on the subject, that an
official communication was made on Friday last to the
Foreign Ministers at the British Court, informing them
that his 111AJESTY had resolved to conclude Commercial
Treaties with the new Governments of Mexico and Colom-
bia. This resolution will of course lead immediately to
the recognition of the independence of these States. The
policy explicitly declared by the British Government, with
respect to South America, has left it perfectly free to
pursue its own interests, without any reference to the
feelings or prejudices of Spain, or the other European
Powers. We knew, by the Parliamentary statements of
his Mao eser's Ministers last Session, that this question
was considered by the Cabinet as one purely British, and
there can be no doubt that during the interval nothing
has occurred to change their views of the subject. The
sole reason for deferring the recognition was, the want of
accurate information as to the ability of the new American
Governments to maintain the rank they hail assumed.
That information has been, we believe, must satisfactorily
obtained by means of she Commissions sent out specially
for that purpose last year. It seems to us, therefore,
highly probable that the report of yesterday may prove
well founded. The two States of Mexico and Colom-
bia appear to be as securely established as any indepen-
dent Power in the world. The Governments of both are
in the tranquil exercise of (heir functions ; and it may,
without the least exaggeration, be affirmed, that either
of them is more capable of subduing the mother
country, than she k, unassisted, to reduce them again
under her authority. The question has for some time
been substantially decided. All that remained, then, on
our part with regard to Spain, was that diplomatic courtesy
which we owed to an unfortunate ally ; and with regard
to the new 'States, that politic caution which should give
our counsels weight in the eyes of surrounding Potentates,
and save us from the inextricable absurdities into which
rashness might have plunged us. Let us hope that the
time has at length come, when, in the judgment of
Lis Ma.; sne's Government, commercial relations may
safely and properly be formed with the new States.
From this quarter we may calculate upon a progres-
sive and indefinite increase of our trade. What have we
offered to us? Avast continent to be gradually peopled
by freemen, able to supply themselves in abundance
with the products of our tnanufactures. The external
prospects of our country are, we thank Heaven, in
every respect as cheering as we could wish. The wise
policy of the Cabinet has carried us with peace and
honour through the perplexed mazes in which it was
the hope of the Holy Alliance to have entangled us. His
MAJIIITY'S Ministers have avoided Scylla without splitting
upon Charybdis. They have prudently forborne from
mixing themselves in the struggles between the revolution-
ary epirit, which, on the one hand, would overthrow all
institutions, and the monarchical principle, which, on the
other hand, would consecrate all the abuses of power. Our
renovated strength and increasing prosperity are the best
cvideuces of the soundness of their judgment. We are
now enabled, at our own unfettered discretion, to chose for
ourselves, when we will acknowledge the political existence
of the New States which supplicate our recognition. One
of the French journalists, when lamenting the degrading
subserviency of his Court to the Holy Alliance, pointed in
admiration to the dexterous manner in which the English
Government had, as he represented it, withdrawn from
the league of Sovereigns without firing a shot, or even ex-
changing an angry word. In fact, however, England
never formed part of the Holy Alliance. She belonged to
the general confederation of European Powers for defensive
and conservative purposes; but the moment it was pro-
jected to convert the Alliance into a superintending authority
to control the internal affairs of every people, and compel
them to conform their political institutions to the Russian
and Austrian models of perfection, England refused to
become a party to the new compact, aid protested against
the principle on which it was founded. We have thus
been left free to consult our own benefit, while the other
Great Powers are involved in the endless intricacies of their
tortuous policy. Let us feel grateful to Providenco, in the
first place, for our insular posi atm ; next, for that excellently-
balanced Constitution which has fully demonstrated that
Orders anti &grecs jar nut with liberty, but well consist ;

and finally, for the sound neutrality which the KING'S
Government has adopted, and which insures us the com-
plete enjoyment of all the advantages of our singularly
happy situation.

The ATTORNEY-GEW SAM. of Ireland, it is stated, has
filed an information, ez-V4.io, against Sir Macaws-1.1
Lars, for the inflammatory letter he published some days
ago in a Dublin Paper, entitled the Currespondcat. The
Reverend defendant is well known for his enthusiastic at-
tachment to the principles of the Orange Association, and
he apprehends, or pretends to apprehend, that the conci-
liatory coarse pursued by Lord WE I.I.ILSLEY has brought
the Church and State both into great peril. Ile therefore
judged it necessary to undertake, or assume, the ofiice of
protector of the l'rotestant interest, and lie issued his orders
to his faithful Orangemen to meet him in arms on a certain
-lay, to take measures for their own defence, as the Popish
faction in the Cabinet had abandoned them. All this
may, and doubtless must, appear simply absurd to us in
England, and with English feelings ; but it by no means
follows that we should deem it prudent or fitting to pass it
over in contemptuous silence, if we were sworn to discharge
the duties of Mr. Pt.o N ETV.' elation. The Irish papers
say, that the Reverend Baronet has retained Mr. SAC SIN,
the late Attorney-General, for his defence. We shall,
therefore, have the unusual spectacle, and we believe that
it is the sole instance on recoil], of an Ex-Attorney..
t;eneral defending a political offence prosecuted by his suc-
cessor ia office, and in this case they will meet to contest
the very principles which discriminate them as Statesmen.
This prosecution will at least be an evidence of the impar-
tiality of the Irish Administration, and should, therefore,
satisfy the Catholics that the object of his MAJESTY'S
Government is not merely to crush them, but to uphold
the equal reign of the law over all.

DUTCH AND GERMAN PAPERS.
I' 11AI:11'011T, DEC. 21.
The arrival of Mr. Stratford Canning front London, on his way
to Vienna, and thence to St. Petersborgh, has given our politicians
a subject for various conjectures, which in sonic measure agree with
the observations in the Courier on the object of his mission.
The discussions relative to the north-west coast of America
have long been a subject of attention : but it seems that the Uniusi
States were considered as the aggrieved party, and that England
has assumed the part of mediator. Four or five months age et was
reported that the negociations promised • favourable result ; and it
is affirmed that there is now no apprehension of any icterruption of
friendship between the Powers concerned. A more interesting
object of this mission is presumed to be the termination of the
struggle of the Greeks, it being affirmed by persons, whose means
rn of infoiation are unquestionable, that all the great Powers are re-
solved. by a powerful intervention, to put an end to the sangui-
nary contest.—Allzenselste .Ztitong, Dec. 26.

Orders have lately been sent front Vienna, prohibiting all Aus-
trian subjects, and especially those of the kingdom of Lombardy
and Venice. from visiting Rome during the Jobilee of 1823, unless
they have obtained permission front the High Police at Vienna.
We learn from iletlin that Professor Cousin has been interro.
gated. in presence of one of the Secretaries of the French Legation.
It is thought that his affair will soon be decided.—Brussels ()rack,
