THE KING'S ANSWER.

" Gentlemcn,—l have heard the address which you have just
read to me from the Chamber of Deputies. I had counted on
the concurrence of the Two Chambers for the good which I had
meditated to consolidate the happiness of my people. I heard
with pain the Deputies say, that on their side, this concurrence
does not exist.
1 have announced to you, in my Speech, my resolutions—
they are immovable ; the interests of my people forbids me to
depart from them.
My Ministers will acquaint you with my determination."
Messieurs,—J'ai entendu l'adresse que Irons venez de me lire
de la Chamber des Deputes. J'aurais compte sur le ooncours des
deux Chambres pour le bien que j'avais medite pour consolider
le bonheur, demon peuple. Je sins peine d'entendre les deputes
dire que, de lour part, ce concours n'existe pas.
Je vous at annonce dans mon discours rues resolutions ; elles
sont irnmutables. L'interet demon peuple me defend de m'en
ccarter.
Mes Ministres vous feront connaitre mes volontes."
(From the Messager des Chambres.)

Fiala, MARCH 17.—A dissolution of the Chamber is generally
expected. It is affirmed that M. de Polignac proposed it yesterday
evening, and that it will be discussed in the Council to-day.
Public anxiety expects with impatient and, profound emotion
the result of the presentations of the address to his Majesty.
This result, which might decide many painful difficulties, can-
not be known till long after we are obliged to go to press.
Within these few days the funds have fallen nearly five francs,
and the decline has continued to-day. We hear with regret on
'Change, the expressions of an exasperated alarm. These nume_
rous men, who would willingly attend only to their own atrairs,
felt and loudly expressed their discontent with an incapable and
unsympathising Administration, which persists in alarming by
its presence the destinies of the country, and the interests of every
body.
A Commissary of Police, accompanied by some agents, went
yesterday to the Ecclesiastical Printing-office of M. Bethune, to
seize the copies of the .‘ Memoire au Conseil du Roi."
Almost all the houses in the town of Ens that could be hired
have been engaged for the Emperor Nicholas and his suite.
Letters from St. Petersburgh announce that M. de Ribeau-
pierre is recalled from Constantinople, and will be succeeded by
M. Politica, a much more able diplomatist, who enjoys the full
confidence of the Russian Government.

PARIS, MARCH 17.—At length our political position is pre-
cisely defined—the Monarchy knows with whom it has to do. It
has just been officially informed of the intentions of its enemieo :
220 men who have taken the oath of fidelity to the King have
sanctioned the first manifesto of the revolution of lEC.3O—a revo-

lution which begins by a direct attack upon the Royal prerog4-
tive, in contempt of the rights consecrated by the Charter, and
by an insult to the King's person—an insult which, as M. Ber-
ryer proved, is direct and unconstitutional, though invested with
all the] forms of liberal electism, and enveloped in all the ob-
scurity of the metaphysics of the doctrinaires.
To-morrow the tleputation of the Elective Chamber will be
admitted to present to the King the Address voted yesterday by
the left side. Honour to Charles X., who has a sufficient sense
of his own greatness to permit these makers of reprimands to
appear in his palace to address to him words of insult. This is a
grand sight which is preparing for n'ance. To-morrow all eyes
will be fixed on the Tuileries. Let us confide in the noble heart
and the courageous wilt of the King. The result of this great so-
lemnity will be a lesson for the factious, and an encouragement
for the friends of order,
(From the Moniteur.)
PARIS, MARCH 17.—Yesterday the King transacted business
with Prince Polignac and the Minister of the Interior.
To-day, at ten o'clock, his Majesty again transactel business
with Prince Polignac, who accompanied his Majestrto Mass.
At half-past eleven the King presided in the Council of Mini.
sters, at which his Royal Highness the Dauphin was present.
His Excellency the Keeper of the Seals being still intlisp•sed,
was not present at the Council.

ADDRESS OF THE CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, TRANS-
LATED FROM THE OFFICIAL COPY.
Sire,—lt is with high sentiments of gratitude that your
faithful subjects, the Deputies of the Departments, assembles'
around your Throne, have heard from your Royal lips the flat_
tering proof of confidence which you grant them. Happy as they
are, Sire, to inspire you with such a sentiment, they will show
that it is not unfounded, by the inviolable fidelity of which they
respectfully present you the homage; they will show it is not un-
founded, by the loyal accomplishment of their duty.
Sire,—We rejoice with you at the events which have contio_
lidated the peace of Europe, strengthened the unity existing be-
tween your Majesty and your Allies, and put an end to a di,
astrous war in the East. May the unfortunate nation which
your benevolence has defended against inevitable destruction,
And its independence, its force, and its liberty, in the future lot
which your Majesty's protection is preparing for it.
" Sire, we pour forth our wishes for the success of your Ma_
jesty's solicitude, in concert with your Allies, for the reconcilia-
tion of the Princes of the House of Braganza. It is certainly an
object worthy of your Majesty's care to put an end to the evils
which afflict Portugal, without attacking the sacred principle of
legitimacy, which is equally inviolable for Kings and nations.
" Your Majesty had suspended the effects of your resentment
against one of the Barbary Powers ; but you are now of opinion
that you ought not to defer any longer to avenge the insult offered
to your flag. We shall wait respectfully for the communications
which your Majesty will undoubtedly think necessary to give us
on a subject so intimately connected with the most important
duties. Sire, whenever it will be requisite to defend the dignity
of your throne, and protect the French commerce, you may rely
on the support and courage of your people.
" The Chamber will concur with gratefulness in the measures
you will propose to ameliorate the position of superannuated
soldiers ; the laws which are to be presented respecting the judi-
cial body and the administration, shall also meet with due
attention.
" The reduction of the public revenue which your Majesty has
announced is a symptom of an afflicting nature ; we shall do all
in our power to investigate the cause of the distress which it
announces.
" Your Majesty has given orders for the proposal of a law for
the paying off the public debt. The importance of the questions
that this project contains, and the obligation of keeping a strict
balance between the different interests which are connected with
them, will excite our solicitude to the highest degree; a just and
wise organization of the public credit will be h powerful source
of prosperity for France, and for your Majesty a new title to the
gratitude of your subjects.
" But the necessary condition far the accomplishment of this
great blessing, and without which it would remain steril, is Secu-
rity for the future, whish is the most solid basis of the public cre-
dit, and the first want of industry.
" We have come at the sound of your voice from all parts of
your kingdom, and we lay at your feet, Sire, the homage of a
faithful people, still touched with having seen you the most bene-
volent amidst the general benevolence; and which reveres in
your Majesty the accomplished model of the most amiable vir-
tues. Sire, your subjects respect and cherish your authority.—
Fifteen years of peace and liberty which they owe to your august
brother and yourself, have strongly impressed them with the gra-
titude they owe to your Royal Family ; the reason of your sub-
jects, now matured by experience and freedom of debates, tells
them, that it is especially in matters of authority that antiquity
of possession is the most sacred of all titles ; and that it is for
their happiness, as well as your own glory, that time has placed
your throne in regions above the rage of tempests. Their con-
viction coinciding, therefore, with their duty, presents the sacred
rights of your Crown as the best guarantee of their liberties, and
he integrity of your prerogative as necessary to the preservation
of these rights.
" However, Sire, in the midst of the unanimous sentiments of
respect and affection with which your people surround you, their
minds are troubled by an anxiety which disturbs the security that
France was beginning to enjoy, stops the sources of her pros-
perity, and might, were it to continue, become fatal to her tran-
quillity. Our conscience, our honour, the fidelity which we have
sworn, and intend to keep to your Majesty, make it our duty to
expose its cause to you.
Sire, the Charter which we owe to the wisdom of your
august predecessor, and which your Majesty is firmly determined
to consolidate, consecrates as a right the intervention of the
country in the deliberation of the public interests. This inter-
vention ought to be, and is really, indirect, wise • ;
moderate, and
circumscribed to exact limits, which we shall never suffer
to be passed ; but is also positive in its result, for it makes the
permanent concurrence of the political views of your Majesty's
Government with the desires of your people an indispensable
condition for the regular administration of public affairs. Sire,
our loyalty, our affection, oblige us to say that this concurrence
exists no more.
" An unjust distrust of the sentiments and reason of France
is now the fundamental idea of the Administration. It afflicts
your people, because it is insulting to them; and excites their
anxiety, because it threatens their liberties.
" This distrust can never enter your noble heart. No, Sire,
France does no more desire anarchy than your Majty despotism
she is worthy that you should re:y on her loyalty, as she relies oh
