FRENCH PAPERS.

PARIS, JUNE 27.--The following is ,the
Speech of the Emperor of• RUSSIA to the two
Chambers, on the closing of the Diet of Poland,
June 13, 1825 :
" Representatives of the Kingdom of Poland,---Your third
session offers results on which I cafinot sufficiently congratu-
late you. You have deliberated with calmness and, prudence,
fulfilled the expectations of your country, and justified my con-
fidence.

" Religion has received from you a legitimate and judicimis
homage. Its tights have been reconciled with the institu-
tions and forms, the maintenance of which was require& by
the public interest ; •and the fisst book of your new civil code
has laid down the bssis of a system of legislation appropri-
ated to the state, the wants, and the manners of.the society
which it is to govern. Your future meetings will finish this im-
portant work.

• .
" In the laws on mortgages, and in several parts of your penal
code, experience had pointed out some inconveniences : yow
have removed them.

" Your long misfortunes had burdened landed property with
debts : this property, the real' support of the. state,. an
indispensable relief. You have felt the necessity ofaisisting it.
The obstacles which might check = the development •of -the law
on the territorial association will be removed ; and by means of
its influence, of the active soliattide which will direct its execu-
tion, of the particular assistance which the Government has
guaranteed for cases in which even the benefits of the law Would
be insufficient, you will, .as I love to believe, see the-last traces
of your misfortunes effaced.,

" I have readily adopted'all the amendments which you have
proposed to me. On your side you have adopted all the pro.
jects of law which I had laid before you.•F This exchange oi•
wishes and information—this mutual agreement,.the only means
of confirming the institutions which you enjoy—are at once the-
chief object, and the esSentiaL advantage of them.
" To cement so happy an union—to keep up the communicate '
tions of which it is the fruit, in the interval which will elapse
till the next 'Diet—a .committee, taken from your own body,
will continue to take part in drawing up the projects of law.
" You have presented several wishes to me : I will take them.
all into consideration, and you will learn the motives, the de,
cisions-which I. shall make respecting them : they shall be corn--
plied.with, as far as circumstances will allow.

" ItepreSentativea of -the Kingdom of_Poland,---4 'quit you
with regret, but also with the satisfaction of having seen " ypt-t
co-operate to your happiness according to your interests and my
wishes. Partake this sentiment spread it among your' felloW
citizen's, and believe that I shall know how to' acknowledge
the confidence, the marks of which have distinguished your
session. They will not be lost : I preserve a profound impreo-
- of them, which, will always be united with the deSire vt
.proving to you how sincere is the affection-which I bear to you,
and how great an influence your conduct will haveou your`
future situation."

The Prince of Salerno, uncle to the Duchess of'.l3erry, ar-
rived at Lyons on the 24th, on his way to Paris..
