( From the Carrier Fraistois of Surlay.l
Pants, Aram. 9.
Sixty of the first banking and commercial houses in Pads hare
just presented an Address to the King, in which they solicit his
Majesty to send, SS England has done, Consuls to South America,
and to make treaties of commerce with all those nations to which
the French hare free egress. It is affirmed, also, that the
chants of Bordeaux hart signed a similar Address, and that all the
Chambers of Conintercej in the kingdom act simultaneously for tha
same purpose.
The Eluile and the Drapeas will not fail to say, to-morrow,
all the merchants of France are seditious.
The following are the words of the Address :

TO THE RING.
" Si RE,—The slenthants of Paris will never forget the memo.
cable words pronounced by your Majesty, when you lately came to
visit the monumental edifice which is consecrated to commerce
They explain the confidence which brings us to the foot of the
throne—they dictate the request which we venture to stake.
Sire.—lmmense countries in America, which Spain alone
formerly supplied, have opened their ports to all the other nations
of the globe. France, which holds so high a rank as a com-
mercial and manufacturing nation, naturally should participate in
these new relations_ so immediately useful, so promising for the
future. The Government, far from opposing them, seemed to
encourage them by legitimating them. They were also power.
fully encouraged by the people of these countries, whom religion,
language, and manners, singularly attach to the French.
But while a rival nation, by its policy, its marine, its succour,
and its treaties, endeavours to form the cloaca ties with Arneri. a,
it is only at long intervals that a French frigate is seen in ins
ports; and the French, when they arrive, have no Consuls to pro:
tact them. Yet the French merchants are not inactive; and if
their interest in these new relations is not what it might be, it still
merits the attention of the Government, and the powerful sugport
of your Majesty.
The ntomont is besides come when urgent considerations
threaten these relations with total interruption, if they are lorg
treated in France with as much rescue and timidity as England
shows publicity and pride in protecting hers.
Bordeaux and Havre alone sent fifty ships to these parts of
America last year, laden with French produce and manufactures to
the value or 25 millions, besides GO ships from the same ports to
Cuba and Brazil; whereas 200 ships for Martinique, Guadeloupe,
Newfoundland, Cayenne, Scacgal, and Pondicherry, have not ex-
ported half the valor.
" All our agriculture/ producs and manufactures suit America.
These of Parisian manufacture in particular are certain of a cast
sale. We possess an equivalent of what it used to receive fru rs
Spain, and most of the productions of America, which England
receives directly from its Colonies, find in France a certain market
almost without competition.
" Your wisdom, Sire, forbids us to dwell on facts so important,
aed considerations so striking ; and your Majesty, whose royal
soul cannot but be powerfully moved by the great interests of
France, bat already comprehended our wishes.
" Yes, Sire, we supplicate your Majesty to order that offichil
agents, in all respect' worthy of so important a mission, be sent
wherever the French commerce can penetrate, and particularly to
the American Continent, to legalise and protect its relations, that
the vesselsof the State may follow its shics ; lastly, that treaties
of commerce may stipulate for its interests all the securities and
advantages which a great nation can have a right to pretend to.
It is by such dispositions, Sire, that in this great social move-
ment, which draws all nations nearer together, which multiplies
their relations and increases their happiness, France, governed by
your Majesty, will maintain herself in the first rank of the mos;
civilised nations of the world.

ABSTRACT of Me UNITARIAN DISSENTERS'
MARRIAGE BILL.

The Bill " for granting relict to certain persons dissenting front
the Church of England in relation to the Solemnisation of Mar-
riages " has been printed, as amended by the Committee. The
preamble sets forth, that "many of his Majesty's good and faithful
subjects, being Protestant Dissenters from the Church of England
as by las established, entertaining conscimtioas scruples with re-
spect to the doctrine of the Trinity, and commonly called Unitarians,
regard on that account the necessity of Solemnising Matrimony in
a parish eintre:i or chapel, according to the rules prescribed by toe
Rubric in the Book of Common Prayer, as a grievance repugnant
to their religious feelings, and have at various times petitioned
Parliament to be relieved therefrom ; and that it is expedient to
grant ease to scrupulous consciences in this respect, without in-
fringing on the general policy of the law relative to Clandestine
Marriages.
The Bill then proceeds to enact, that places registered for re-
ligious worship, and used by Protestant Dissenters of the Unitarian
persuasion, may be specialty registered for solemnising Marriages
under this Act, provided such places shall have been registered as
a place of worship for one year. The number of places to be so
registered, is limited to six, within the Bab of Mortality, two in
Bristol, Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham. and Leeds, respec-
tively, and one in every other city or market town in England and
Wales. No two pieces shall be registered within six miles of each
other. But this limitation is not to preclude the ordinary from
registering any additional place, upon reasonable cause shown to kis
satisfaction. l'ower is given to surrender the certificate of regiatra.
tion on the removal of any congregation, and to register the new
place of worship of such congregation.
A notice, in the following sortie, " Licensed for the Solemnisa-
tion of the 3larriagcs of Unitarian Dissenters," is to be placed in
sonic conspicuous part of such registered places.
The officiating ministers of such places may be recorded in the
court of the ordinary, as ministers qualified to solemnise marriages.
Ministers so recorded, may solemnise marriages in any places re-
gistered under this Act, subject to certain provisions. Certificates
of the publication of banns arc to be given to persons desirous of
taking the benefit of this Act, on signing 1 declaration, set forth in
the schedule to this Act, and on pay miens of the usual fees.
Marriages may be solemnised by licence in such plates. For
such purpose, the licences must be countersigned by the parochial
minister, and the usual fees paid.
Alairittiony is not to be solemnised in these registered places, un-
less upon exhibition of certificates of banns, or of a licence counter-
signed, as bethre stated. 3larriages solemnised according to this
Act, shall be as binding as it solemnised in the parish church.
Persens solemnising marriages contrary to the provisions of this
.Ist, shall be deemed guilty of f.lony, and transported for fourteen
years. The marriages of persons wiLully intersnerrying in places
not duly registered, shall be void.
A notice of the intended solemnisation of marriages under this
Act, shall be given to the minister of the parish. for the purpose
of registration in the register book of the parish. The printed
form* for the purposes of this Act arc then set forth, in which
the minister is authorised to make any necessary alterations. In
case of neglect of registry, the Court of King's Bench may order
such entry to be made in six months.
Tbc entries of marriages under this Aet, shall be equally
available in evidence thereof, as entreaties of marriages in the
Church of England.
None of the provsions of this Act are to affect 4 Geo. IV. e. 76,
or any other Act, relative In the publication of banns, or granting
of licences nor is this Act 13 extend to the Royal Family.
The Ecclesiastical Courts Abell exercise their juriadietion as fully
with respect to marriages, under this Act, as it solemnised in the
Church of England.
Finally, the Act is declared a public Act and limited to Eng-
land and 'Vales. and Ilene ick-upon.Tweed.
Two printed copies of the Act arc to be sent to the ministers of
the several perishes, &c. of which one to be kept in the parish
chest.

KING'S THEATRE.
Last night the performance at this theatre len resumed
for the first time since the repairs have been completed.
The interior of the house exhibited no appearance of alter-
ation, except that the giiding on the pannels had been
cleaned, and new festoons and curtains added to the boxes.
The opera was 11 Dan Ginranni, in which the characters
were 'use tint d by the same performers as in the last season,
with the exception of Madame Castelli, in Elrira. It IV US
stated that this debutante appeared for the first time on any
slage; however, we observed no trails of awkwardness; on
the contrary, she appeared to be perfectly used to the busi-
ness of the scene. Her voice has considerable flexibility
and compass, and her figure, though under the middle
size, is good, and we think the will prove an acquisition to
the theatr!.. After the opera, " Gud save the King" was
sung by Mesdames Renzi de Begnis, Vestris, Caradori,
and Mesas. Curioni, Begres, Porto, &c. The house was
crowded to excess in every part.
