" Your.people, Sire, have already tasted the first fruits of

your actions, the hviiiiaut qualities of the Princes, Yinir two
sons; lastly, the Rrainess and the moderation which have at-
way .1 been the inheritance of the iilustrians House of Orange
Nassau, increase and fortify their hopes of the future, and
the Constitution which establishes.the civil and political rights
of a people truly free, is the surest pledge of its happy des-
tinies. _

"We pray to God to shed his blessings upon ;'oar Majesty,
your Fami!y, and Kingdom ! Long live the, King !"

The reading-of the
.Constitution was followed
by the taking of the oaty, which was pronounced
by his Majesty with an energy which did not
escape, the spectators, aNd in which they saw the
happy presage of the faithfal execution of the
compact to Which our destiny is attached. The
solemn declaration fiXed by the 54th article of the
Constitution, was then delivered in the two
languages, by the Presidents of the First and Se-
cond Chambers. Then the, Kings at Arms cried
" Long live the King !'' which was repeated by
the multitude assembled at the foot of the plat-
form. Immediately afterwards, the medals struck
for the occasion, were thrown among the people.
They are very well executed, having on one side-
his Majesty's image, with the inscriptionif.i/t. •

procession then repairedon foot to the Cathedral,
His Majesty wore the cloak of the ancient Sove•
reigns of our, country—a noble and magnificent
costume, the sight of which created a lively sen-
sation, by awaking the remembrance cf'the most
brilliant period of our glory .and prosperity. je
Demo being.finished, the procession returned to
the palace in the order prescribed. The banquet
took place at five o'clock. 'fill midnight, the
streets were constantly thronged by crowds eagc
to 'enjoy the illumination, Avhich was. favoured
by the beauty of the evening, and •the serenity of
the sky..
Thus passed this dq, on which our country
cmrimentes a new existence, which our present
situation, the political appearance of Europe, and .
the events which the future permits us to have a
glimpse of, seem to invest with the most flattering
presages. it is not to be feared that, among a peo-
ple eminently endowed With a correct understand-
ing, and a spirit of order anti moderation, such
firm hopes should be blighted by passing- discon-
tents, by the crooked man&uvres of some agitti-.
tors, or by the cries of a seditious intolerance,
which would be punishable if it were not absurd.
All these-ciouds, which it is so zealously attempted
to make more gloomy, dispelkti-by the sun,
of reason and truth. Union, disinterestedness, and
wisdom, are henceforth the conditions necessary
to our happiness. These conditions will be ,ful,
filled; such are at least the wishes of all true cit
zens, they are the only .011C3 which reason can
form, and which patriotism can avow,

BRUSSELS, SEET. 22.—His Majesty, in pro-
ceeding to the Assembly of the States General,
passed through a double line of the city guard.—
As soon as the sitting had been opened, his Ma-
jesty repaired, with his whole suite, to the Place
• Royale, where he arrived at one o'clock. The
streets, which were filled with immense crowds,
resounded with acclamations and cries of " Vive
-le Roi !" The platfornf where the inanguration
took place was richly adorned : a magnificent ca-
nopy of crimson velvet, embroidered with gold,
was placed upoli it, as well as elegantly adorned
seats, -for the persons who attended this august

the oath and the prochiMation of, the heralds,.
which was made amidst the sound of cannon,,and
the acclamations of the multitude, the prneession
repaired to the church .of St. Gudole, to -return
thanks to the Almighty. •
The very Reverend M. Mille, the Chief Priest
and Plebun, followed by his Clergy, received the
King at the principal door of the church, and ad-

strained submission, and try filial obedience, in the &layer-,
suasion that your Majesty will govern us as a father governs
1 his children.

" You will also protect, Siie, this same religion, which
ought to male the most scrupulous Catholic perfectly easy,
and the more so; as this protection can never be refused, since

OLD BAILEY-, SEPT. 23.

Daniel Ilill, George Sweeting, and Charles Tay,
lor, were indicted for stealing 40b. in Bank notes,
the Property 6.f. John. Bell, Proprietor of the
Weekly Messenger Newspaper.
Mr. Cu awooD„ for the prosecution, stated the
facts of the case as follows :—The prosecutor's
house of business, bat not his residence, was in
Catherine-street, Strand ; and it was the usual
custom of the place, that the person left in the
house at night had-the key, and was to be the first
there •on the following mnrnigg. Ott Monday,
the 19th of June, Delaney, the printer, had the
key given him, and on tbe next morning, when he
got there, he found that a pane of.glass had been.
broken out of an inner door which led to the count-
ing-house, and that the clerk's desk had been broken
open. Ilanimond, the cletk, came about 9 o'cloek,
and found that 401. in notes, and sonic silver, had
been stolen from his- desk. After some consul=
tation they suspected the prisoner, Sweeting, to
be the thief; he was employed in the Printing-
office as a fly-boy. It teas accordingly resolved
to have him taken into custody ; and Delaney ac-
cordingly went in search of him, and the next
,night found at :t public-house in Drury-lane.
Ile was ,accordingly apprehended, and sent to the
watch-house, On the following morning-he sent
to Delaney, the printer, to conic to him, and then
he confessed that he had -planned the robbery
but that lie did not commit it, but that the fact
was done by 1-1-ill' and Taylor, and that he re-
ceived One ,pound four shillings as 14.5 share
of the plunder.. Hill and Taylor were accordingly
apprehended, and in Hill's lodgings was found a
slater's hammer,' which exactly. fitted the marks
in the door and the desk, and was eNidcutiv the
instrument•used in forcing open the desk. With
respect to. Taylor all the evidence against - him,
beyond the accusation of Sweet ing, was,- that he
was seen in their company about three o'clock
on the mu'rning of the robbery, by Bean, a patrole,
near the premises of Mr. Belt, and the, patrole ob-
served that :hey were sharing some Bank notes
and silver. The Learned Counsel then made
some observations upon circumstantial evidence,
which, he said, might be the most satisfactory of
all evidence.. _ _ _

The Jury found Hilland Taylor Gailiy—Sweet-
ill'g, Not. Gttilty. They were immediately sen-
tenced to seven years transportation.

With respect to the seamen in the North, we
learned yesterday from Novcastle,-that they and
the Ship-owners have not yet come to terms, but
are expected to .do so in the course of a few days-.
Five pounds per voyage :has been agreed to, and
the only difference is, that the Ship-owners will
not agree to any definite term. The seamen pro-
ceed systematically, and have formed themselves
into Boards, Committies, &C. If any. ship is wished
to he mol.ed from one port in the north to ano-
ther, the Captain or owner is revived to send a
petitiOn to the Board, 'and leave is granted; and
men found for the purpose but no pay is allowed ,
to be taken for any work done in this way. Many
ships, coal laden, have been permitted to :sail,
upon the owner or Captains making oath before
the Board of Seamen that the said vessels were not
bound to Lopdon, and the coals on board not in-
tended for the London market. A Captain at
Sunderland, Who wished to have his vesselremov-
ed to Newcastle; had his .appheation refused on
the score of irregularity, he having presented,,his
petition to the wrong Board.
The farmers in Gerinany cultivate poppies and
carrots together on light soils. The poppy
branches shoot out but little, and its roots are
scarcely sheltered from the strong heats. The
carrots cover these roots with its leaves, And pre-
serve them from drought, by retaining the niols-
ture in the ground, at the time it allows the
poppy to enjoy tile sun and air freely and cannoi
injure it in the ground, its roots striking perpen7
dicularly downwards, while that of Inc poppy
ramifies near the surface. The produce of the
ground is thus doubled, and the poppy thus join-
ed with the carrot is not injured in quantity or
duality. Poppy seed sown between the interval
of the carrots on a quarter of an acre of land pro-
(reed nearly seven bushels of POPPY seed, from
which were expres,sed twelve.quarts of clear and
well flavoured, oil,. 'and twenty-one pints of a
thicker oil.
Thirty sailors attended in a bo4;at St. Peter's
Church, Liverpool, on the 4th instant, to he
spliced in•matrimonial fastenings with their re-
spective sweethearts:
