Hamburg Papers of the 23d February con-
tain the following interesting account of the
Speech addressed to the Emperor of ItussiA by
the Turkish Ambassadors, and his Imperial
Majesty's answer, which is highly pacific, but
seems to leave the question of an abatement in the
terms of the treaty of Adrianople to the mission
of Count ORLOFF, now at Contantinople

ST. PETIRSIBUILCH, FEE. 13.
The address of the Turkish Ambassadors to the Emperor,
delivered by Mohammed Halil Ripbat Pacha.
" Most powerful, most august, and magnanimous Em-
peror ! The great mighty and glorious Padishalt and
Monarch of the Ottomans, our Sovereign Lord and Master,
who most earnestly wishes solemnly to confirm the
peace so happily restored between the Sublime Porte and
the Court of your Imperial Majesty, and establish its gua-
rantee and duration in perfect unanimity and concord,
between his Highne-s and your Majesty, has been pleased
to honour us with a special mission, and to confide to us
two letters, which we have the happiness respectfully to
deliver to your Imperial Majesty, together with the pre-
sents, as a mark of his high respect for your Majesty's
august person.
" His Highness has expressly enjoined us to give to your
Majesty the most sincere and positive assurances of the
high value which rests on your Majesty's friendship. The
splendid virtues of your Majesty do not allow the
slightest doubt of your justice and magnanimity. his
Highness confides with pleasure in your wi-dom and
generosity, and depends upon it as every thing that can
most strongly and irresistibly establish a perfect concert
and unbounded confidence between him and your Majesty.
" For ourselves we esteem it the greatest happiness to
have been found worthy of being the organs of the most
cordial relations of goot-1 will and friendship between two
such great monarchs, and to have the opportunity to con-
template the exalted virtues of your Majesty, which attract
the attention and admiration of the world."

The Emperor's answer delivered by the Vice-Chan-
cellor.

" The Emperor, my august master, receives with the
most lively pleasure the expressions of the sentiments
which the Padishah and Emperor of the Ottomans has
commissioned you to offer to his Majesty. Your assur-
ances are the more agreeable to his Imperial Maj sty, be-
cause in the principles and sentiments you have expressed,
Russia and the Porte have a pledge of the duration of the
peace concluded between them. The only object of the
Emperor when he concluded it was to establish
the peace on a solid foundation. The maintenance
of it now depends on the fulfilment of the Treaty
of Adrianople ; but you, Gentlemen, may assure
your august Monarch, that the best security of it
will be his confidence in the friendship of his Imperial
"Majesty, and the assurances which his Highness has given
personally to Count Orloff. It is agreeable to his Majesty
the Emperor that his Highness has selected you for this
mission, which his Imperial Majesty hopes will consolidate
the friendly relations, which are so happily restored be-
tween the two powers."
In the speech to the Empress, the Ambassadors offering
the compliments and presents of time Sultan, expressed their
sense of their good fortune in paying homage to the Em-
press of Russia, and the daughter of a Monarch who has
given such unequivocal proofs of the interest he takes in
the welfare of the Ottoman Empire. Her Majesty's an-
swer, delivered by the Vice Chancellor, expresses her sa-
tisfaction with the sentiments manifested by the
Sultan towards her Imperial Majesty, and espe-
cially with the tribute of respect to her father ;
time Chancellor also assured them that the Empress would
with pleasure embrace every opportunity during their stay
to give them proofs of her good will.

German and Dutch Papers have been received
this morning, but their contents are nut of suf-
ficient importance to be extracted in our present

of strong excitement, or in the delirium and stu-
por resulting from it, to a country restored to health
and reason. The second election, however, after the
war in Spain, was marked by such a series of
electoral frauds, that the nation was effectually juggled
out of its rights, and the New Chamber represented any-
thing but the express image of popular opinion. Mat-
ters, however, were very differently managed in 1827.
A new law had been passed, which guaranteed the purity
of the votes as far as the electoral colleg* s extended ; and
the result has been to produce a variety of shades of
opinion in the Chamber, the whole of which, with the
exception of one small minority, were impressed with a
Jeep feeling of resentment against the system of Govern-
tnent pursued by the Administration, which had thus
been overturned.

" This, then, is the present state of the Chamber,
which it is proposed to dissolve; but what, it may be
asked, is the condition of the country, to which it is un-
derstood that an appeal is about to be made. The French
people have certainly never complained of too much
energy or activity in the present Chamber, but rather of
its patience, its moderation, and even its timidity. •As
the Electoral Colleges are now formed, frauds will not be
effected without the greatest difficulty; so that it is to be
presumed that the result will be an expression of the ge-
neral feelings and opinions of the country, whatever these
may be. The prefects and the local authorities have not
the same confidence as under the Villele Administration, in
the stability of the existing order of things, and probably
will not risk their future influence in supporting the pre-
sent Cabinet by any indirection. The electors themselves
have a better knowledge of their rights, and more
firmness in maintaining them than heretofore ; they have
acquired the habit of watching over the lists, and will
not fail to pursue the individuals who may be guilty of
tendering fraudulent votes, by carrying them before the
tribunals, which, happily for the peace of this country, are
above all suspicion.
" It would not be easy to calculate, even with a to-
lerable degree of accuracy, the probable amount of profit
and lose, of increase or diminution, which the different
sections of the Chamber will respectively experience on
this new appeal to the constituent body. If you ask the
opinion of a Frenchman on the subject, his answer is
liable to he affected, without any imputation on his since-
rity, by the particular shade or division to which he hap-
pens to belong. The opinion I have formed, as a mere
uninterested observer, is that .the left centre is the section
which will gain most considerably, and the right centre
that which will be the greatest loser; I conceive also that
the extreme left will gain, and the extreme right will lose,
but both to a smaller amount than the centres.

" A number of the Deputies have been to the Chamber
to fix on the seats they mean to occupy in the approach-
ing Session. It is remarked that Berryer fi/s, the new
Ministerial Member, has inscribed his name on the seat
lately occupied by the Count de la 13ourdonnaye, which is
supposed to amount to a declaration that lie considers him-
self the leader of the party who sit at the extreme right
of the Chamber. It is said by those who are not his
friends, that time seniors of that party ate not likely to
consider this assumption as any striking indication of
modesty. •
" M. de Martignac has, it seems, had a private au-
dience of his Majesty within these few days, which lasted
for three quarters of an hour. This circumstance has
given rise to a great many conjectures, but nothing that
can be relied on has yet transpired.
" It is reported that an encroachment is to be made on
time French sinking fund, to the amount of ten millions of
francs, fur the repair of roads and canals, and of twenty-
five millions far the reduction of the wine tax."

" PARIS, PER. 25.

"Yesterday afternoon the usual preparatory meeting of
the Menthers of the Chamber- of Deputies took place in
the temporary building prepared for their accommodation
daring the Session, which may now be said to be begun.
Although the object of this meeting was merely to draw
lots for the deputation of twenty-five, whose duty it is to
attend the King on Tuesday next at the Royal Sitting,
the attendance was considerable, amounting, by some cal-
culations to 250, and by others, to 280 members. The
Provisional Chamber is divided like the old one into four
great sections, as if to adapt itself to the divisions of
the parties by whom its benches are to be occu-
pied. It is known that in this country the idea of
a necessary analogy between the locality of a member's
seat, and the political opinions he professes, is car-
ried much farther than in the British flame of
Commons. Yesterday, for instance, it was remarked
that Monsieur de Martignac took his seat, in the
right centre, indeed, but as far to the right of it as pos-
sible, and so near to the extreme right, as to be able to
shake hands with the avowed supporters of the present
Ministry. He had formerly sat in the same section of the
Chamber, but considerably to the left of his present posi-
tion,
and the change was considered as more remarkable
from his being the only Member of the present Adminis-
tration who did not resume the very place he had occupied
before engaging in his ministerial functions. The benches
on the extreme right of the Chamber were much more
thinly occupied than those of any of the other sections, not
containing more than from 30 to 35 individuals ; but this
is, no doubt, in some measure to be ascribed to the absence
of the Members who belong to the Cabinet. Behind the
ministerial benches were M. Arthur de la Bourdonnaye,
M. de Laingle, M. Vaulchier, M. Villeneuve, &c. In
the right centre there were only from 70 to 80 Members,
and it was observed that M. Agier, and the party who are
stigmatised as the defection by the ministerial writers, took
their places in this section, occupying the highest seats in
it, near the left. The left centre was the most numerous
of all, amounting to upwards of 80, and the
bencl•es of the extreme left were occupied by
from fifty to sixty Members. Among these were
observed the two LafayetteP, father and son, the two
Latittee, Messrs. Corcelles, Salverte, Thiars, Bayeux,
Benjamin Constant, Casineu, Augustin, and Alexander
Perrier, General Sebastiani, the elder Dupin, nod many
others of note. Nothing like discussion took place at this
meeting, but there was a great deal of animated conversa-
tion between individual Members, in which they commu-
nicated to each other the views and feelings of their consti-
tuents in the various departments from whence they have
arrived. The subject of the Presidency was also a topic of
general conversation. The three great parties opposed to
the Ministry seem to have concentrated their wishes on M.
Royer Collard, who is understood to be willing to resume
his former functions. But as the Chamber has only a
right to suggest a list of five individuals to the Crown, it
is of course in the power of the Ministry in this par-
ticular to disappoint the wishes of the majority. At
yesterday's meeting the chair was taken by M. Labbey de
Pompierres, in right of seniority; and the deputation
with M. de Pompierres, as doyen, at its head is to consist
of the following members, viz. : the Viscount d'Alzon, the
Marquis de Vaulchier, Viscount de Tertre, M. Odier,
Viscount d'Aubancourt, Count de Murat, M. Bai!lot, M.
Debelleyure, M. Legendre, M. Fleury, M. Argot, M.
Bourcleau, M. Martel, M. St. Aignan, M. Chevalier-
Lemore, M. de Vau4euil, Count Guebeneuc, 31. Debray,
Count de Preissac, Baron Theuaid, 31. Bertin de Vaux,
Count de Lobau, Count de Lameth, and the Count de
Lariboissiere. _ _ _

" Yesterday also a trial teok place in the Court of Cessa-
tion, the principle recognised in which can hardly fail to
be attended with vexatious consequences to the conductors
of the periodical Press, so long as the spirit of ,prosecution
is encouraged against them on every frivolous pretext. The
present question arose in the shape of an action of damages,
at the instance of fourteen individuals, forming part of a
considerable body of gendarmes, residing at Rhodes, who
cited M. Guise, the conductor of the Constitutionnel, be-
fore the District Court of Rhodes, charging hint with de-
famation against the whole corps to which they belonged,
committed in a Paper known to be published at Paris.
The defendant's attorney, without entering into the merits
of the cause, took several objections to the competency of
the Coact, and the right of action on the part of the
plaintiffs. The Court, however, having sustained its ju-
risdiction, an appeal was carried to the Royal Court at
iontpelli4r, by whom the original judgment was con-
firmed. This decision having been quashed fur infor-
mality, the cause was remitted to the Royal Court at
Thoulouse, where a similar judgment was pronounced,
and it was against this last judgment that the appeal was
taken to the Court of Cassation. The principles thus
estabiiahei ;pay be stated as follows :
" I. That any individaal cnneeivinghitnselfegerieved by
a statement in a public Journal, may tiring his action against
its conductors in the court of the district in which he him-
self resides, without being compelled to have recourse to
that in which the Paper is printed.
2. 7114 t public bodies, although attacked in their col-
lective capacity, and without tiny ipAividual or personal
distinction, may bring prosecutions for defamation 4gairkot

the conei.r;:eui:c of 0)e majority, and without any previous
deliberation or conference zn the snbjpet,"
