Tilt KING OF FRANCE AND THE DUKE OF WEL-
LINGTON.
We have received several private letters from Paris, of a
late date, one of which contains the following passage :
" I was present at the opening of the Chambers, although
it was very difficult to procure admittance. The King's
Speech was full of wisdom, of love for his people, and of
dignity. The papers have reported it very incorrectly, and
1 advise you to defer forming an opinion upon its men's,
until it has appeared in the Official Gazette. %Ve shall see
what our Chambers will do: they have plenty of business on
their hands. The manner in which the Chamber of Depu-
ties is composodexcites great hopes. The Allies do us much
harm; even your famous NVellington, who has lately lost
much of his greatness. It appears that he intends sending
you our Apollo Belvidere. " If that is the case." said our
King: " gngland will have one fine statue more, and a great
man less."

TREATY OF PEACE.
It is probable that nearly a fortnight will elapse before
tle Treaty with France is finally drawn up and signed.
A document embracing so many powers and points must
taturally be supposed t', b.. 1 a very long one—of which
copies arc to be made for each Power. This is the only
cruse that delays the signatures: for every point in dis-
cussion has been filially art anged.

object of attention. The proceedings of Deputies on Mon-
day were unimportant. On Tuesday they assembled in a
Secret Committee to verify the powers of the Deputies : af-
ter this was compleated, they proceeded to name five Candi-
dates, from whom the King is to select one as President.
Only one Candidate was named in that Sitting, M. ',nine,
who had 328 votes out of 368. No other Member had
more than 170, which being less than half the number of
Members present, did not of course give an absolute ma-
jority. The four Candidates were therefore to he chesen in
the nest sitting. . A curious circumstance occured in the
secret sitting of Tuesday. The President ordered the gallery
to he cleared, on account of the sitting being a secret one.
This was done with the exception of one individual, the
Reporter of a Paper, who concealed himself under the ben-
ches, and published the account in his Paper.
It is calculated that there are in the Chamber of Deputies
33 Members of the Legislative Assemblies that existed prior
to the last Chamber of Deputies, and that there are t 7 De-
puties who sat in the last Chamber. . .
The proceedings of the Chamber of the Pews have been
hitherto more important than those of the Deputies.
In the royal kitting two of the Peers, Jules de Polignac
and Bournonnaye de Glossae, refused to take the oath with-
out restrictions. In the sitting of the 10th their ret.o-...:
came a matter of discussion, and four Membets were F.:A
to them with the formula.of the oath for them to sign. They
refused and withdrew. A long debate ensued, and seve-al
motions were made. The former Bishop of Langres moved,
that the proces verbal should merely state that the Peers who
had taken the oath had been admitted t* take their seats.
The Duke of Berri spoke in favour of the Bishola motion.
But M. de Lally Tolendahl objected to it, and moved, 4 that
the admission of two Peers, who had not taken purely and
simply the oath prescribed in the Royal Sitting, is defer red."
This motion was adopted. The Chamber then ordered the
King's Speech to be read.—The Duke de Vauguyon, in a
long speech upon the state of affairs, proposed an Address,
which was referred to a Committee, and the Chamber ad-
journed to Saturday (yesterday). It was remarked, that in
the Duke's proposed address, not one word was said with re-
spect to the adoption of rigorous measures—but the neces-
sity of union and peace among all the French was strongly
urged.
Some private !eters state, that the two Peers, who refused
to take the oath simply belong to the Angouleme Party.
There is an article in the Journal Des Deliats of Wednet-
day, which may be considered to be an atonement for hav-
ing spoken of the sanguinary affair which occurred at Paris,
near the Pont Notre Dame. It takes such pains to assure
us that the affairs are trivial and unimportant, that if we had
even no other data to go upon, should be convinced that it
was of a very different complexion. The Journal des Debats
was the only paper that mentioned it on Monday, and on that
account all the numbers of that paper destined for the pro-
vinces and for foreign countries were stopped at the Post-
Office at Paris. This is the reason why the Jomrnal des
Debats of that day did not arrive as usual.
The papers confirm the statements of private letters, that
some alarming symtoms had manifested themselves at Mont-
pellier. But they add, that by the vigourous measures of the
Prefect, the General and the Police, the dissaffected had
been put down.
Two official letters from Corunna announce the dispersions
and capture of Porlier and his partiasns.
The Austrians have not entirely broke up from the Camp
at Dijon, and it is remarked that those refitnents which hAVC
left it have not taken the road to the frontiers.

The Duke of Reggio has been appointed General in
Chief of the National Guard of Paris in the room of Dessolles.
The French Funds continue falling-594.

The Paris Papers of Monday last arrived on Thursday.
Their contents are not important. They add nothing to what
is already known respecting the meeting of the two Chant.
beis, no sitting having taken place on Sunday. Private let-
ters, however, state, that on Monday last the Chamber of
Deputies proceeded to the nomination of five Candidates,
from whom the King is to select one as President of the
Chaaihei. Little doubt is entertained but that M. Laine
will occupy that honourable office. The Chamber also pro.
ceeded to draw up an Address to the King, in reply to his
speech. The King of Prussia and the Russian Archdukes
have taken their departure from Paris, and the Emperor
Alexander is not expected to return to that city. After the
review at Dijon, he will make, it is said, an excursion into
Switzerland, from which he is to proceed directly to Berlin.
One of the journals has a report, in an article dated from Vi-
enna, that the Emperor of Austria has it in contemplation to
assume the title of King of Italy. The Duke of Wellington
has returned to Paris.

Emigrations from France to the United States have been
very considerable of late, in order to escape the burdens of
the contributions, and the civil commotions which are dread-
ed. The families of Marshal Brune and of Col. Labedoyere
have already taken their departure.
Extract of a letter from Paris, Oct. 6:—" It is literally
impossible to keep down the disposition to riot in the Palais
Royal; au overwhelming force of English and Prussian troops
are introduced early in the evening; and French gems d'armes
are continually walking about among the crowd, but without
success; disturbances ending in bloodshed have been uni-
formly repeated, and nearly at the same hour for the last
three nights. Two Frenchmen in coloured clothes, were cloven
down by Prussian officers with their sabres, on Wednesday
night; the night before last a Prussian officer is said to have
been killed by the French, in retaliation, and last night a riot
of so alarming a nature was cotnmenced,that all the inhabitants
closed their shops. in the apprehension of some premeditated
tumult. They are French military who provoke these dis-
turbances, and in the most wanton manner; from the man-.
Tier in which the riot of last night commenced, there can be
Do doubt of a concert between them. The Prussian officers
usually walk together at night in parties of four or five; a
group of them were standing together talking and laughing
very loud in the presence of a crowd, which seemed to ob-
serve them ; a Frenchman, in coloured clothes, passing by
them, cried out, " Qui soul ces coquins la." The Prussians
drew their swords and advanced upon this man for the pur-
pose of taking him into custody, when some French officers
almost instantly advanced from the crowd, and attacked the.
Prussians, but a strong guard being very near the spot, they
sere disarmed, and carried off prisoners; the person in co-
loured clothes who provoked the quarrel, was also carried off
and turns out to be a French officer. Serious disturbances'
have occurred in other parts of the town between the French
themselves, of opposite parties ; such is the state of irrita-
tion among the lower classes, that the King, in his carriage,
was insulted by a rabble on the Boulevards the day before
yesterday ; his guard found it difficult to keep them off from
the royal carriage ; they used the most insulting language,
:and advised him tci Toile quiely to England before it was
too late; several cried out to him that he brought upon
them all the miseries of famine, and asked how he could ap-
pear in public in that manner whilst they wanted bread.

~;S

The apprehension of a famine is very general, the poorer
classes are in great distress, even at this moment. It is im-
possible not to rectilect that the cry of bread was the signal
which preceded the horrors of the Revolution. It is es.
tremely prchable that this rabble, by whom the King was in-
suited, were prepared for the purpose."
A letter of the sth instant, dated Paris, from a person of
high character, and well informed of what is going on in Ma-
drid, states, that accounts have been received by Perdinand's
Ministers, that at length the flame of liberty had penetrated
to Lima, and that in consequence of insurrection there, Vice-
roy Abascal and the other Authorities have precipitately
fled.

On the evening of Catalani's first appearance at her Theatre
(Favart) in Paris, on Monday last, the Duke of Wellington
went to give her the advantage of his auspices. The double
attraction of the first warrior and the first singer in the world,
of course .gathered a multitude. As the most honoured place
was naturally reserved for the Duke, he appeared about the
middle of the entertainment with a military friend, both in
plain clothes, and in the King's box. In the Parisian Thea-
tres, the Loge for royalty is kept dressed, and untningled with
the receptacles for inferior amateurship. flis Grace's ap-
pearance in this priviliged spot was instantly caught at by the
sensitive audience, and dexterously turned into an opportu—
nity of expressing the feeling which nothing but fear has
at any time restrained. The Duke was hissed and insulted frees
all sides under the pretence of his having obtruded himself
into the box. Ile was for a few moments unacquainted with
his being the object of this sudden explosion. The bolder
among the hissers bad now found courage enough to pro.
nounce the name of "Milord rillinton," "A bas Milord Vi?-
!Anton,' rained thick upon him. In a few minutes he retired,
expressing, it is said, his surprize that Valabreque, the Direc-
tor of the Theatre, should have put him into an unusual
place.—On his departure, cries of " Vire le Roi !'' vere re-
peated round the house; and the Parisians had their :Humph
in revenge for Waterloo. The next day his Grace left Paris
for Dijon, to attend the Austrian review; he was expected to
return in eight or ten days.

Mr. George Canning is now residing as a private gentleman
at Culares, near Cintra, having resigned his official situation
the moment he ascertained that the Prince Regent of Por-
tugal was prevented from returning to Europe.

An order has been received at Portsmouth to send to France
such of the Waterloo prisoners as are fit to be removed, and
who, from the nature of their wounds, are incapable of fur-
ther service.

Letters received from the Madeira Islands to the sd ult.
bring intelligence that the vintage had totally failed there—
estates that formerly produced 40 pipes of wine, were not
expected this season to produce more than two.
The four divisions of Royal Marines, for the peace estab-
lishment (6000 men), are to he formed into 80 companies;
each company to he commanded by one Captain, two first
and one second Lieutenant. This reduction will place about
400 officers upon half-pay.

By accounts from Aberdeen, w•e are sorry to find that
within the last few days a spirit r►f tumult and disorder has
manifested itself among the seamen of that port, similar to
what has lately been exhibited in various parts to the south-
ward. On Monday and Tuesday, a large bid of ►hem as-
sembled together, and went the length of stopping several
vessels from putting to sea ; but by the prompt interference
of the Magistracy, supported by the great body of ship.owners.
and a wholesome show of military force, they were reduced
to obedience, and peace restored.
