LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 5, 1830.

The French Papers of Wednesday have been re-
ceived. They all contain remarks upon the KING'S
Speech, and particularly the last part of it, which is
the most obnoxious to the pride—the just pride of
the Chambers, as well as the French people. We
would have made long extracts from these Journals
did our limits permit. Our correspondent gives the
"lowing account of the contemptuous threat :
" While on the subject of the Speech I may mention
that the last paragraph was the only one which seemed to
ettite any strong sensation among that part of the au-
llienea to whom it was more particularly addressed, and it
remarkable that in different copies of it which may all
aPparently be traced to sources having strong claims to
authenticity, this remarkable paragraph is variously ex-
pressed in more than one particular. In a second edition
of the Gazette the words ' avec mepris' followed by the
remark (' vive sensation') are introduced into the phrase,
Yon will repel the perfidious insinuations which male-
volence seeks to propagate.' In pronouncing the succeed-
ing member of the sentence—' if guilty mancauvres create
"bataelts4 to Inv Government which I cannot, and which
I do not wish to foresee, I shall find the means of sur-
Mounting them in my resolution, &c.' His Majesty
seemed certainly to hesitate after uttering the word ob-
hiaciees' or rather after the following expression que je ne
Peux Pis j' and judging
r • je ne rota. pas prevoir' appeared to be pro-
ase que
urvd rather as a correction than an intenaitive of
what preceded it. The first edition of the Gazette
accordingly makes the King unable to foresee these
guilt)* nianceuvres while the second makes him both
4f.44h1e and unwilling to foresee them. In place too,
:Di- finding the means and the strength to surmount
".4ee obstacles in his resolution to maintain the public
peace, some of those around me asserted, that the words
ru'lcunced by his Majesty were dans mon propre droit
th rnainten:rla paix publique,' and accordingly I find it
us printed in more than one edition, which has appeared
this morning. I have had the curiosity, in consequence
of these discrepancies, to procure an official copy from the
"loyal Printing -office, and I find that it does not contain
either the avec mepris' or the que je ne peux pas,'
rid that it retores the ' ma resolution' as I give it to you
in my version of yesterday."
(From the Quotidicrinc of Wednesday.)

kin months of violent agitation was that when the

throne his hopes and his Will. The calumniated Ministry
of August the Bth may now date its existence from
March 2d; for from that day it will prove to France that
it calls to its party all who wish to rally round the standard
of Royalty—all who feel the necessity of repelling the
treachereus insinuations that malevolence seeks to propa-
gate—in a word, all who, confiding in their Monarch,
consider it their paramount duty to join in all measures
for the public good which his Majesty may propose
through his Ministers, who are equally attached to our in-
stitutions and the unalienable prerogatives of the Crown.

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.

TOULON, FEB. 25.—The brig Le Rusj, commanded by
Captain Jonglas, has received orders to sail as soon as
possible. It is reported that he is the bearer of despatches
for M. Mathieu de Clerval. The same vessel is charged
with a mission of the greatest importance. She is to visit
the places indicated for the disembarking the troops.—
The store-ship Le Finistere will also soon sail for the
same destination. The two vessels are destined to reinforce
the station off Algiers. The fitting out of the frigates oc-
cupies a very great number of workmen : the works are
greatly hurried, and the Didon has already commenced
taking in her supply of water.
Great preparations are making in the magazines for the
reception of the great number of camp articles, and the
immense quantity of stores which are expected from the
interior. A considerable quantity of artillery and ammu-
nition is expected in this port, either by the vessels coming
from Brest, Cherbourg, Lorient, and Rochefort, or by
land carriage.
It is said that the troops forming the expedition will
sail in two convoys of 20,000 men each. The first will
be composed of the regiments in garrison in the southern
towns ; they will assemble at Toulon and its environs. The
greater part will be sent on board ships of the line, because
it is considered prudent to support their landing by a con-
siderable naval force. The freighting transports at Mar-
seilles is carried on with great activity; no news have yet
arrived of the success of the Captains of frigates who sailed
for Genoa, Leghorn, and Naples.
Many persons have their doubts about the expedition
against Algiers. They think that the object is to deceive
the Eastern Powers, particularly the Russians, upon the
projects of France and England. The arrival in Greece
of several English ships of war, partly discloses the po-
licy of the Cabinet of St. James's. It appears very possible
that France may be again the dupe of a nation jealous of
-the prosperity of our navy. It is announced that orders
have been given to assemble in the Mediterranean eight
steam-boats, to keep up the communications between
France and the coast of Barbary, and for the use of the
fleet.

(From the Gazette de France, of Thurbday.)

Weakness and royalty can never go together. A king
must be the master or a slave. There is no medium. He
• who surrenders his sword will soon lose his buckler. And
certainly the justice of God is manifest in this iniquity of
men. He has not delivered the helm into the bands of
monarchs that they should obey the caprice of the winds
and waves. He has not set before their eyes history, that
register of human strength and weakness, that they should
despise the lessons with which it is replete. This truth is
so universally felt, that Paris has applauded, and all France
will applaud, these noble words pronounced by the Mo-
narch :—" I am fully determined to consolidate institu-
tions; if any criminal intrigues were to give rise to ob-
stacles to my government, which I do not wish to foresee,
I should find strength enough to surmount them."
The instinct of nations is a better guide than science.
They have always loved firm Kings, because they know
that those Kings alone can protect them. Buonaparte was
indebted to his firmness for his grandeur, and the same
firmness prolonged it beyond its natural term ; and yet,
after all, be was but a lucky soldier. But he hail a will of
his own. Elizabeth, Henry VII. had also a will of their
own, and England was powerful under them. John
Lackland and Charles 11, left others to have a will for
them, and England was then but the vassal of France.
Few reigns were more boisterous than that of George 111.
One single word will prove our assertion ; this reign was
the epoch of the French and American revolutions.
George 111. was neither a hero nor a genius ; but he was
an honest man, having a will of his own.
Certainly, had not Loui■ XVI. granted the double.
representation of the tiers-t::tat, which was nothing but a
gross and dangerous snare, the revolution would have been
stifled at its birth. If, even after such an enormous fault,
be had at least protected the triple rote, which was yet
constitutional, the revolution would hare still been nothing
but smoke evaporating in air; and had he, after the second
fault, refused to dismiss the troops, notwithstanding the
demands of the factious,—yes, even then the revolution
would have died of impotence and rage. The rebels
seized on the triple concession, like on an inexhaustible
treasure They ask the Throne new ,donations in the
name of those they have already received. Such is the
course uniformly pursued by conspirators.
What were the pretensions of our Liberals in 1827?
They seemed only desirous of obtaining a new Ministry,
and then to offer peaceful thanks for such a blessing. Well,
the Ministers were changed ; and yet the Liberals did not
resign themselves to the enjoyments of peace, hut continued
to utter forth their maledictions. They have required
laws to define limits to what is nnlimitable—the right of
commanding armies,—to the most essential right of royalty,
that of negociating and concluding treaties: they required
laws for the oppression of the most sacred of all privi-
leges—the freedom of religious education ; laws produc-
tive of the greatest evil that can exist—power given to
bad things and bad men. And has not the executive
power been almost entirely sacrificed to them? That
very concession which they disdained on account of its
meanness, was it not the introduction of the same principle
which gave birth to the saturnalia of 1791 ? And yet how
did they receive this democratical project ? To what hard
trials did they not submit it? How different did it come
out of their hands ! By one single amendment, in what an
uncouth way did they erase from the body of our laws an
intermediate institution, which they had not established
without particular motives, and overthrow by one word the
interior organization of France? Yield to them to-day,
and you will see to what lengths they will go to-morrow.
Have they only set the axe at the foot of the tree, to lop off
a few insignificant branches ? See them cherishing with
fondness a certain mysterious futurity, and promising
a warm temperature and rapid maturity to the tree
which they have planted in the middle of the charter !
Then they will have leisure to accomplish their great refor-
mations; then they will secure impunity to libellists, by the
introduction of the jury in causes relating to the press ;
then, by transforming into legal enactments their private
opinions, they will reduce Catholicism to equality, and
finally enslave it ;—then they will abolish in the electoral
law, by the fulfilment of their doctrines on the elections,
all that a tardy and perhaps useless prudence had devised
to obviate its pernicious effects ;—then they will establish
all those Utopias that their• proposed reforms contain, and
all the destruction which they mast occasion. If the
King had hesitated one moment, what a chaos; 1815
would have returned with its repugnances-1791 with
its exigencies, and God knows what else ! They tell us,
themselves, that our age will see things unknown of be-
fore, and that we are only at the dawn of the grand day
of reformation.

The King has now in his hands the interests of reli-
gion, of liberty, of public and private security : one word
from hint can shut the abyss,—one word can widen it.
France is now at rest, she enjoys tranquillity : the King
has spoken.

(From the Journal des Debats of Wednesday.)
By to-morrow the Speech from the Throne will have
re-echoed from one end of the country to the other, and
all France will, no doubt, share with us an emotion of grief
and anxiety, which have Royalism for their source. How
much might we not say on this subject, were we not pre-
occupied by one engrossing and bitter reflection ? Might
we not, without failing in respect to our beloved Monarch,
ask Ministers where is the liberty of Greece, subjugated to
the yoke of a dependent on England's bounty? Where is
the faith of oaths ? Where the sacred right of legitimacy,
if France conspires with England to recognise a perjured
usurper ? Whatever may be the political and financial
importance of ministerial projects—whatever may be the
deplorable transactions which abroad menace our national
honour, at at home our national prosperity and repose, the
last words of the Speech have too strongly excited our
feelings, to allow us at present to devote our attention to
any other part. We have perused and reperused them.
A multitude of painful ideas have overwhelmed us. By
attempting to interpret them, we fear we should deceive
ourselves ; and on this subject we are willing to entertain
a doubt as long as possible. To interpret them will be
the duty of the Chambers. From them we expect the so-
lution of this terrible enigma. Ministers must explain
themselves before their judges.

(From the Journal du Commerce of Wednesday.)

A remarkable feature in the Speech from the Throne is,
that in alluding to our foreign relations there are important
omissions. Not a word is said upon the subject of Spain,
or of the liquidation of its debt. Not a word upon Hayti, or
the new negotiations opened to secure the performance of
her engagements. Not a word upon the United States, or
the answer to the claims set up by the Message of the Presi-
dent Jackson. Not a word upon the New South American

Statm We shall pass over the second part of the Speech,
which relates to certain Ts to be brought forward citirir g
the Session; they are too vaguely designated to afford mat_
ter for observation. Of the two paragraphs with which
the Speech concludes, it may be said, that one contains
assertions easily refuted, and the other gratuitous and vain
accusations and menaces. The Charter has placed the
public liberties under the safeguard of the laws ; these
liberties will not be consolidated so long as the institutions
promised by the Charter shall remain unestablished ac.cord-
ing to its spirit.
(From the Constitutionnel of Wednesday.)

How culpable are Ministers in thus deceiving the Royal
mind on the state of the kingdom! In this alone a suf.
ficient cause for impeachment might be found. But, what
do Ministers mean by culpable manoeuvres? They know
hotter than any one that there are no other machinations
in France than those of the Infernal Faction. Do they
intend to insinuate that a constitutional parliamentary
opposition would be a culpable manceuvre? We confess
that we hope Ministers will find obstacles in their way,
but these obstacles will be constitutional. The Peers and
Deputies will perform their duty. They will answer the
Ministerial challenge as they ought; they will display
France as she really is, constitutional, loyal, a friend to
order, and an ardent defender of her rights. They will
make known to the King the whole truth.
(From the Courier Francais of Wednesday.)
_ _

The Speech from the Throne was such as the organs of
power had led us to expect--such as France had antici-
pated from the Polignac Ministry. The King of Eng-
land's Speech seems to have furnished a model for the
brevity with which it treats of Foreign Policy. The choce
of an English Prince for the throne of Greece indeed
announces disinterested views—at least on our part.
The treacherous insinuations of malevolence are evidently
intended against the periodical press. This discus..
sion, however, is puerile ; more serious ones exist be-
tween Ministers and the Chamber, and to these, it
is said, allusion was made in the concluding sentence
of the Speech. Here, we confess, interpretation be-
comes necessary. If culpable manoeuvres attempt to
throw in the way of my Government obstacles that
lam unwilling to anticipate. Are those words ad-
dressed to the Chambers? In the Chambers no other
manoeuvres can exist than those by which the majo-
rity express their opinion, clothed at the same time
in the focus best adapted to strengthen their party ;
or those by weans of which a minority in the
Chamber seek augmentation so as to become a
majority ;—or again, those by which a majority
endeavour to repel measures contrary to their own views,
and to combat an Administration opposed to their
principles. But these manoeuvres are not culpable:
Although the terms of the phrase in question are rather
ambiguous, taken as a whole it would seem to announce an
intention to dissolve the Chambers, in case of opposition.
Such dissolution is a constitutional measure which might
have been adverted to in a more open manner, as it is
of a nature neither to intimidate the Chamber, nor to
alarm the country. Whatever may be the result of this
manifestation--whether the cause of truth shall triumph,
or the dissolution of the Chambers be brought about, the
question between Ministers and the country will neverthe-
less be decided.

(From Le National of Wednesday.)
Reflection upon the King's speech must ratherstrengthen
than weaken the impressions made by a first perusal.
Servility to foreign powers, the false principles by which
the Ministry are actuated, and a menacing policy, are the
only features that can be discovered. As to the East,
Greece, Portugal, and in fact every nation with whom we
have relations in combination with those of England, we
are in wonderful harmony with that Cabinet. We are
equally desirous of the balance of power in Europe of
the Prince de Saxe-Coburg, and of the reconcilia-
tion of the house of Bragansa. As to Algiers, we fol-
low our own policy. The question as to the East being
resolved, we are at liberty to revenge the insult offered
to our Flag. This expression has a double meaning.
—All the world knows, that for one tap of a fan,
60,000 soldiers and sailors are about to be subjected to
all the vicissitudes of the winds, the waves, and war,
but another pretence for hostilities has been found.—
The vessel La Provence entering the port of Algiers was
fired upon, and for this mere accident, which has been
termed an insult to our flag, a mad enterprise is to be
undertaken. The paragraph "If culpable manoeuvres at-
tempt to throw in the way of my Government obstacles
which I am unwilling to anticipate, I shall find the
strength necessary to surmount them in my resolution to
maintain the public peace, &c." has already produced a
strange emotion in all Paris, and in a few days will agitate
the whole kingdom. It contains in four lines an epitome of
all that the Ministry have done in the course of the last
eight months, and is the summary of all their threats.

Van Dieman's Land Papers have been received
to the Bth Nov. The Calista had arrived there
from the Swan River on the 24th of October, in 26
days. rile accounts were unfavourable. The en-
trance to Swan River was found totally inaccessible
even to boats, there not being more than four feet
water upon the bar, over which it unceasingly broke.
The land is described as barren, and the want of
water was moat seriously felt. Many of the settlers,
who originally intended to settle at Swan River,
had arrived at Van Dieman's Land in the Calista,
and it was expected others would follow.

The Hamburg Reporter, Frankfort and Dutch
Papers have been received this forenoon. It appears

Lisbon Gazettes of the 23d of February have
been received this morning. It will be seen that
the partizans of MIGUEL are in extacies at the ex-
pected recognition of the Usurper by a country
which has hitherto, with amusing consistency, stood
up as the chosen defender and oracle of legitimacy.
Don MIGUEL may truly laugh in his sleeve at those
virtuous people who denounce his conduct, but re-
cognise his treasonable acts!

LISBON, FEB. 22.
Before we translate into the Gazette the important
speech from the Throne, delivered at the opening of the
British Parliament, which we shall shortly do, accom-
panying it with the most important passages of the
speeches of some of the Members of the two Houses,
we must not omit to inform our readers first of all, that
the Royal Speech, and the explanations which the Mi-
nisters gave respecting the recognition of the King, our
Sovereign, by Great Britain, are not only of the most
satisfactory nature, but indicate the speedy and

indefinite ccmclusion of a measure so important, to
restore those diplomatic relations which have sub-
sisted between Great Britain and Portugal almost
from the beginning of the Monarchy, notwithstanding the
clamours of an opposition, and weak as that which was
mauilisted by those against the Speech from the Throne,
there being 71 for, and 9 against it—the majority 62.

We learn by letters from London of the 11th instant,
that the loan which the Marquis de Barbacena contracted
for there, before he set out for Brazil to get it ratified, was
not confirmed by the Government.

This being the anniversary of his Majesty's happy re-
turn to his kingdom, was celebrated with all the demon-
strations of joy due to so auspicious an event.

A Commission is to be appointed, in accordance
with the suggestion of Lord FRANCIS GOWER, to
inquire into the state of the Irish parochial I3enefices
and Unions, and the propriety of dissolving any
such Unions as vacancies arise. Upon looking no
farther than to the instances mentioned by Sir J.
NEWPORT, or to the Union of Foxford, in Mayo,
referred to by Mr. O'CoNNF4,L, it must be evident
that inquiry into practices of this kind will be highly
beneficial to the interests of the Irish Church Esta-
blishment, so far as both its stability and effectiveness
are concerned. That a Protestant Clergyman residing
at 50 miles distance should hold five adjoining Bene-
fices at once, whose inhabitants are almost entirely Ca-
tholic, and are not indulged more than once a year with
a sight of their Rector, is, of itself, a sufficient abuse ;
but when that Rector carries his thirst of gain so far
as to raise his Tithes to a most oppressive height—
refusing all composition or amicable arrangement—
and suing his parishioners by droves in the Ecclesi-
astical Courts--it is high time that the Legislature
should interpose to bring so anti-social and unchris
tian a system to an end. The shepherds of the Chris-
tian flocks have become wolves, and the Church,
which was ordained for the maintenance of peace and
good will among men, has been converted into an
engine of extortion, and an instrument of contention
and strife.

Sir ROBERT INGLIS, whose late speech on the pe-
tition of the Jews shews that he considers persecu-
tion to be part and parcel of Christianity, was
pleased to observe last night that the Irish Church
possessed both the power and inclination of reform-
ing itself, and that its improvement had already ad-
vanced at a rapid rate of progression. Mr. TRANT
also remarked that the Irish establishment no more
required reformation than that of England, which
is so far true that they both require reform, but
that of Ireli.nd demands alterations an hundred
fold greater than our own. But it is really too
monstrous a proposition to assert that the Irish
Church is actually engaged in reforming it-
self. The Irish Protestant Church is noto-
riously the most corrupt, inefficient, and into-
lerant religious Establishment in Europe, and does
not even possess the advantages of those of Spain
and Portugal, viz, to supply the spiritual wants of
the people. The principle of action with the Irish
Churchmen is to squeeze as much money as pos-
sible out of the people, and to do the least possible
quantity of duty. It is adding every day to its un-
popularity and disrepute; and—for it is useless to
mince the matter—it is hastening the hour of its
own downfall.

It is to little purpose to say that the Irish Church
ranks among its members many honourable and ex-
cellent men. It must be regarded as a public esta-
blishment, instituted by authority of Parliament for
a given end—that end being the religious instruction
and service of the people of Ireland. Centuries
have proved by experience that only a small portion
of the population of Ireland will conform to it at all,
and that whether, upon conformists or non-con-
formists, it is regarded generally as a burthen too heavy
to be borne. The Legislature are, therefore, bound
to interfere with an institution which is prejudicial
to the happiness of Ireland, and it has only two
courses to pursue—either to prune and reform the
existing establishment, so that it shall consist of
nothing superfluous beyond what its design requires,
or to put an end to it at once by one vigorous stroke.
Those who resist so obstinately the former of these
alternatives, may be assured they are only preparing
the way for the latter.

FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.
