The Hamburg Reporter of Friday last, con-
tains the Speech of the Emperor NICHOLAS on
opening the Polish Diet at Warsaw :.•-•••••
WARSAW, MAY 29.—The Diet was yesterday opened
by the Emperor in person, on which occasion his M jesty
delivered the following speech, in the French language :

" REPRESENTATIVES OF THE KINGDOM OF POLAND

" Five years have elapsed since you were last assembled.
Circumstances independent of my controul prevented me
from calling you sooner together ; those circumstances,
lappily, exist no longer, and it is with real satisfaction
that I this day behold myself, for the first time sur-
rounded by the representatives of the nation. During
this interval, it has pleased the Divine Providence
to call unto himself th- restorer of your country : you
have all felt, with deep sorrow, how severe is this loss ;
and the Senate, the interpreter of your desires, has com-
municated to me your wish, honourably to perpetuate the
memory of your full sense of the most exalted virtues.
Every Pole is invited to contribute to the erection of the
monument, the proposal of which will be laid before you.
" The Almighty has blessed our arms iu two wars in
which the Empire has lately been engaged. Poland has
not been called upon to bear any part of the burden of
those wars, although she will participate in the advan-
tages to be derives! from them, in consequence of that close
alliance in glory and interest, by whieh she is now indis-
solubly united with Russia. The Polish army has not
been actively engaged in the war; my confidence did not,
however, assign to that army a less important post—the
vanguard of that army entrusted with the protection of
the security of the Empire.

"My Minister for the Interior will communicate to you
an account of the present situation of the country ; and
the statement which my Counselor of State has submitted
to me, respecting the operations of the administration, will
also be laid before you. I flatter myself you will approve
of many of the important results obtained therein. Those
obtained by the law for regulating provincial credits, have
surpassed my expectations, and lay a secure foundation
for the gradual improvement of public as well as private
property.

‘‘ The growing development of industry, the extension
of foreign trade, the increased production of articles cal-
culated far an exchange with Russia, are so many advan-
tages which you already enjoy, and which insure the fur-
ther growth of your prosperity.
" Several liquidations remain to be made. That with
Saxony is concluded. The accounts with Russia are far
advanced. With France a liquidation will shortly be
opened. As goon as the amount of the national debt
shall have been definitively determined, it will be pos-
sible, by means of a new finance law, to fix the revenue
and expenditure of the state.
" A committee partly selected from among yourselves,
has prepared the second book of the civil code, but the
work has not yet attained its due maturity. I have, never-
theless, given orders that a part thereof, the necessity of
which experience has demonstrated, should be laid before
you.

" The resolutions on the subject of the nullity of mar-
riage and divorce, contained in the first book of the civil
code, and approved of by the last diet, have encountered
difficulti, a in their application, and imperatively call for a
revision ; I request your whole attention to a subject in
which social union and conscientious scruples are so closely
interested.

" You will obtain the conviction that many of your
solicitations have been complied with ; that others have,
necessarily, been adjourned ; but that all have been ma-
turely considered ; and that, therefore, the right of petition,
confined within reasonable limits, at the same time that it
enlightens thegovernrnent, contributes to the public welfare.
" Representatives of the kingdom of Poland ! By
the faithful execution of the 45th Article of the Consti.
tution, in its fullest extent,• I have given you a pledge
of my disposition towards you : it now depends
upon yourselves, by availing yourselves, with wisdom
and moderation, of the rights and privileges conceded
to you by the restorer of your country, to consolidate his
work. May tranquillity and union prevail in your Coun-
cils. Such improvements as you may suggest in the pro-
jects of law about to be laid before you, shall be graciously
considered, and I abandon myself joyfully to the hope, that
Heaven will confer a blessing upon labours begun under
such happy auspices."
The speech was thereupon read in the Polish language
by the Minister Secretary of State, and an address in re-
ply, echoing back the sentiments expressed by his Ma-
jesty's speech, was delivered by the Marshal of the Diet..
(By the George 1 V. steam-boat.)

ST. PETERSBURGH, MAY 24.—M. de Ribeaupiere,
Ambassador Extraordinary to the Porte, has received the
rank of Actual Privy Councillor, for his services in bring-
ing the negotiations with the Porte, for the independence
of Greece, to a happy conclusion.

The Turkish Ambassador Nedschid Effendi and suite
left this city on the 22d for Odessa.

Count Diesselrode set out on the 18th for Warsaw.

We learn from Abo that the Dutch steam-boat, Dc
Bears Van Amsterdam, had been obliged to put in there,
the ice hindering it from proceeding. Captain Dietz in-
tended to proceed to St. Petersburgh, as soon as circum-
stances would permit.
HAMBURG, JUNE I.—BORSEN-HALLS, HALF-PAST
FOUR o'cLocx.—Considerable fluctuations in the funds
have taken place since Fliday• On Saturday prices seem
to have reached their lowest point, in consequence of large
sales made by speculators for the fall. On that day Anglo-
Danish were done at 70, Anglo-Russian at 105, Polish
Bonds at 121, Austrian Bank Shares at 1,288, and Fal-
-1 covets 85i. On Monday morning some sales were made

at those prices; but towards noon an improvement began
to manifest itself, which has continued yesterday and to-day.
In Berlin stocks have also risen considerably within the
last few days.

In the early part of the day stocks were higher than to-
wards the close. At the prices quoted below there were
sellers. The rapid rise is not expected to be permanent.

ROME, MAY 28.—Letters from Corfu say that ti e
English Government intends to grant the privileges of a
free port to the island of Zante. The 400th anniversary
of the Order of the Golden Fleece was celebrated on the
22d with great pomp.
HAMBURG, JUNE 4. —BORSEN HALLE, HALF-PAST
FOUR O'CLOCK.-For Wheat there continues to be buyers
for exportation, but they take only the best samples, for
which a trifling advance has taken place. The supplies
from the interior were small, and have been almost entirely
bought up. Froin Mecklenburg, Holstein, and the Lower
Elbe the arrivals were unimportant, but still more than
sufficient to meet the demand. Rye continues unaltered
in price ; the arrivals are not large, and of tolerably ready
sale. The same remarks apply to Oats. Barley, on the
other band, is heavy.
With Rapeseed our market continues wholly unprovided,
and prices are therefore nominal.

The following are extracts from German and
Dutch Papers received this morning :

GREECE.

VIENNA, MAY 25.—The reports of the opposition of
the inhabitants of Greece to the choice of Prince Leopold
of Saxe Coburg are unfounded. On the contrary, the
most recent accounts from Greece state that the people are
anxious for the arrival of the Prince, selected for them by
the Allied Sovereigns.
Mr. Dawkins, the resident, received on the 30th of
March the official communication of the decisive Protocol

from his Court. The following day M. Alopirus, who
arrived at Patras on the 28th, brought to Count Panin

the Russian resident, and on the 2d of April M. Alleye
de Cyprey, a French courier, brought to the French resi-
dent M. de Rouen, this important document, which is ile-
finitively to fix the fate of Greece. On the Bth of April
the residents of the three Powers made the official com-
munication to Count Capo d'lstrias.
On Easter Sunday, after divine service, the President,
by virtue of the full powers given him by the Con-
gress of Argos, and with the approbation of the
Senate, delivered to the Representatives of the three
allied Powers a written declaration of the gratitude
of the nation for the decision of its fate, as con-
tained in the protocols of London, and its formal ac-
knowledgement and compliance of the same. It is said
thatthe President communicated to the Senate, so early as
the 3d of April, a letter from the future Sovereign of
Greece, in which the Prince invites him to continue the ad-
ministration of the Government, as he has hitherto done,
and at the same time expresses a wish that he will in
future assist him in supporting the weight of the Govern-
ment, of which the great Powers have thought him so
worthy.
HAARLEM, JUNE I.—Accounts from Batavia of the 9th
February state that his Excellency the the Viscount du
Bas de Ghissignes, the Commissioner-General, resigned his
office on the 16th January, to his Excellency Lieutenant-
General Vander Bosh, who is appointed Governor-
General of our East India posse.sions, and Commander-
in-Chief of his Majesty's forces by sea and land in the
countries to the East of the Cape of Good Hope.
On the 19th January an ordinance was published, by
which the supreme government of the Indies is dissolved,
with thanks for the services rendered to the country at the
same time. Messrs. J. C. Goldman, J. Bonsquet Pel-
lerkus, and R. G. Van Polanere were appointed Coun-
cillors of India. M. P. P. Chosse has been thanked by
the Minister of Marine, by his Majesty's special command,
for his services to the country during a long series of
years, and is to retain the rank and title of Councillor of
India. On the same day a new ordinance for the conduct
of the Government of India was published, by which all
preceding ordinances of the same kind are revoked.
By a resolution of the Governor-General in Council, a
Commission has been appointed to revise the organization
of the tribunals in India, and the mode of proceeding in
the several courts of India.

A new paper, in the English language, is published
once a month at Canton. (Here follows, from the nuin-
bers of the middle of November and end of December, an
account of the dispute between the English factory and
the Chinese. The article then proceeds) : —The foreign
Consuls, particularly M. Van Canegbam, the Consul of
the Netherlands, joined in this desire (viz., to have the
number of the Hong merchants increased to thirty or
fifty) ; and the Consul called the attention of the Gover-
nor of Canton, whose name is Le, to the endeavours of
his King to revive, by a formation of a company, the
trade of Holland with China, which was formerly so flou-
rishing in the number of ships fitted out for that trade in
consequence, and of the decrease which has tiken place,
chiefly on account yf the differences which have broken out.

The answer of Governor Le to these observations is
drawn up in tolerably polite terms. He has not directly
assented, but gave his opinion that the investigation of
the Treasurer and Judge of the province should be quietly
waited for. With respect to a similar application from a
Spanish merchant, the Governor has not thought it neces-
sary to be so civil; he has taken him severely to task for
his folly and impertinence in requiring a change of the
ancient ordinances. Endeavour, says the answer, to have
due respect for the celestial empire. Behold its abundant
harvests, its mountains of riches, its well filled treasury,
and convince yourself how little interest the empire can
have in the miserable trade with your barbarous nation.
The conclusion is as follows :—" If you repeat such ap-
plications, I shall report the matter to the Court, and
cause you and all Chinese traitors to be seized and pu-
nished as you deserve. Beware of bringing yourself into
trouble, and tremble at this letter."
The writer thinks, however, that notwithstanding this
high language, the Government of Canton is too sensible
of its own weakness not to give way in the end. That
latterly Mandarins of a lower rank have been uncommonly
polite to foreigners ; and lastly that there is a report of an
invitation to wealthy individuals to offer themselves for
the dignity of Hong merchants.
AMSTERDAM, JUNE 4.—Sir George Staunton and
suite has arrived here from England. Abo, M. Raymond
Garcia.

It is satisfactory to perceive that the Session
of the States-General of the Netherlands has
terminated in much greater tranquillity than it
began in. The Government has yielded to the
popular wish in giving up several items of the
the obnoxious law of the
Budget—in modifying
Press—and in abandoning the equally offensive
measure of public instruction. A law has in-
deed passed, inflicting punishment on the Press

for offences of a very indefinite kind, having a
tendency to disturb the public peace—but, con-
sidering the still more indefinite and oppressive
project originally submitted by the KING to
the Chambers, the people may think themselves
fortunate in escaping from the Royal vengeance
on somewhat easier terms. The Royal message,
which has closed the Session, breathes a spirit
of conciliation which, we only hope, is sincere
on the part of those from whom it proceeds.
The Netherlands Government must by this
time have found out that the liberties of the Bel-
gians are not to be encroached on with impunity.
It must have learned by experience the folly of
persisting in a vexatious policy, which united to-
gether, from a sense of oppression, parties as
opposite to each other in their principles as
light and darkness. The spectacle of the Libe-
rals and Reformers making common cause with
the Catholics and the equestrian order or Ari-
stocracy, against the Crown, proves that the
discernment of the latter, in giving cause to
so strange a coalition against itself, must
have been extremely weak. For the nobility
of a nation, particularly a proud and retiring
nobility like that of Belgium, to join in the cry
of those who are striving to bring into action
new principles of Government, is an anomaly
which has very rarely occurred in history.
Equally singular is the co-operation of the Ca-
tholic hierarchy and clergy with those, the ten-
dency of whose opinions goes to shake the
Church to its very foundation,—with whom

human reason is the only standard of truth-

and to whom truth, unless of a philosophical
kind, is but an empty name. But oppression,
like the wand of a magician, when it summons

together spirits of a heterogeneous nature to
each other, does not reflect that their first impulse
is to unite together and tear the oppressor to
pieces. The King of the NETHERLANDS has
been prudent enough to interpose conciliatory
measures in time to prevent this latter result.
The following are extracts :
SECOND CHAMBER of the STATES-GENERAL.
HAGUE, JUNE 2.—The President announced that he
had received a message from the First Chamber, stating
that it had assented to all the projects of law sent to it
from the Second Chamber. After this a Royal message
was read to announce that the Minister of the Interior had
his Majesty's orders to close the Session ; in consequence,
the two Chambers being assembled together, the Minister
delivered the following speech
:
" limit AND MIGHTY LORDS,-The King has ordered
me to come to this Assembly and close the present Session.
' " Distinguished by immense labours and divers vicissi-
tudes, it has been crowned by the happiest agreement be-
tween the Throne and the Representatives of the Nation
on the points most important to both.
"By adopting the laws fixing the expenditure of the
State, and the means of meeting them for the next ten
years, you have placed the finance on a secure foundation.
" In concurring in the reduction of the number of the
Members of the Chamber of Accounts, you have effected
a retrenchment which you yourselves had pointed out, and
opened a way for further improvements.
" In giving to the Syndicate facilities for the diminution
of its actual expenses, you have prepared an alleviation of
the burdens of the people.
" By adopting the legislative enactments which com-
plete the bases •of the organization of the Courts of
Justice, and a code of proceeding in the Criminal Courts,
which protect the liberty of the citizens, you have hastened
the moment when a national legislation will be applied by I
Magistrates defin:tely appointed.

While maintaining the liberty of the Press, you have
united your efforts with those of the Government to re-
press abuse and calumny, the impure alloy of which dis-
figures and degrades this constitutional means of diffusing
knowledge.
" These results are advantageous now and cheering for
the future. They will draw closer the ties between the
Prince and the Belgic nation—they will be sanctioned by
the opinion of the honourable and enlightened, which is
above transitory passions, and becomes in a manner the
judgment of posterity. Lastly, they have the august ap-
probation of the Monarch, who is the restorer of the public
liberties, happy in the happiness of the Belgians, whose
love is at once his glory and his recompense.
" In the King's name I declare the Session of the States-
General closed and terminated."

The Assembly broke up.—(Brussels Papers, June 5.)
NUREMBERG, MAY 28.—We understand that the
Austrian Government is going to bring before the Diet
the important and frequently agitated question of the
means of securing the rights of German authors and pub-
lishers against literary piracy, by means of a convention
between all the German States. There is therefore every
reason to expect that this question will at length be de-
cided in a satisfactory manner.
VIENNA, MAY 24.—His Highness Prince Philip of
Hesse Homburg is gone to Warsaw. Their Majesties the
Emperor and Empress will leave Vienna on the 27th, and
sat out on their way to Leybach and Trieste. His High-
ness Prince Metternich will set out on the 29th fur
Johannisberg, and the Minister of State (Count Kollo-
wrat) intends, during their Majesties' absence, to go to his
estate in Bohemia.

CONSTANTINOPLE, MAY 10.—The two events which
have chiefly engaged the notice of the public since the last
post-day are the unexpected arrival of the Grand Vizier,
lledschid Pacha, from Adrianople on the 3d instant, and
the death of the Capitan Pacha, Papudschi Ahmed, who,
after a long illness, died of water on the chest on the sth
instant. His death is universally regretted, for by his ju-
dicious administration of the naval department, and by his
munificence, love of justice, and amiable manners, he en-
joyed the confidence of the Sultan and the esteem of all
classes of the inhabitants of this city. The Sultan has
appointed for his successor Held Pacha, now at St. Peters-
burgh, until whose return the Marine Department is placed
under the care of the Seraskier, Chosrew Pacha. Halil
Pacha seems likely to act an important part in the affairs
of the empire, as lie is high in the Sultan's favour. It
is thought that the Grand Vizier will very shortly return
to Adrianople. On the 7th instant a treaty of friendship
and commerce was concluded between the Porte and the
United States of North America, by which the ships of
these States are to have the free navigation of the Black
Sea, and to be placed, with respect to the duties and cus-
toms, &c., on the same footing as other friendly States.
The Marquis de Grosallo, Sardinian Ambassador, who is
going to Turin on leave of absence, set out to-day. He
goes by Belgrade and Vienna to Italy.

WARSAW, MAY 25.---The first anniversary of the coro-
nation of the Emperor and Empress of Russia, as King
and Queen of Poland, was celebrated here with the
greatest pomp and festivity.
The Prince Royal of Prussia arrived here yesterday
afternoon.

DRURY LANE TnEATRE.--Madam YES-.
TILIS and Mr. ANDERSON appeared here on Saturday night,
for the first time since their reconciliation, iv; Julia Manner-
iny and Baron Bertram, in the opera of Guy Mannering.
Bath were received with applause; but Madame VESTRIS,
owing to sudden indisposition, was unable to go through
with her part, and the opera proceeded without her. This
occasioned considerable disapprobation, which continued
more or less throughout the night.

SUICIDE.—On Monday morning last, a gen-
teel and pretty-looking girl, apparently about 17 or IS
years old, threw herself into the river Eden, and was
drowned. Her name and connexions were unknown to
the neighbourhood ; but she is supposed to have been the
victim of seduction. An inquest was held on Monday af-
ternoon, when the Jury, in the absence of more expla-
natory evidence, returned a verdict that the "Deceased
drowned herself in a fit of temporary derangement."...—
