FOP SIGN' INTELLIG ENCE.

PARIS, J. 27.
Yesterday, before mass, the King -received lo
a private audience the Marquis de Botmay, and
I:tent...Gen. the Count d'Espagne.
The Count de Villele, President of the Council
of Ministers, visited yesterday evening, at eight
o'clock, the Duke d'Angouleme, and remained
an hour with his Royal Highness.
We (Journal des Debuts) gave on the e-ith
instant,-the three letters of-the Charges d'Affaires
of Russia, Prussia, and Austria, to M. San Miguel,
the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Spanish
Government, as well as the answers of that
Minister. The following is a new document to
add to those official notes :

COPY OF THE LETTER ADDRESSED 11Y T•HE COUNT DE
RULGARI, THE RUSSIAN CllAltai D'Ar.rAutts, TO M.
SAN MIGUEL, DATED MADRID, JAN. 13.
" Sr have received the Note which your Excellency
transmitted to me, dated the day before yesterday.
The respect which I owe to the forms and principles ad-
mitted and consecrated by all civilized nations, prevents me
not only from replying to that Note, hut even from making Its
contents known to my Government.
" I hasten,. therefore, to send it back to•,your Excellency, for
the eyes of the Emperor, my master, must not be disgusted
,by the perusal of a production which I abstain from charac-
terizing, and in which his Imperial Majesty and Europe would
look in vain for the slightest evidence of a Government which
knows how to respect itself.--I have the honour to be," &c.
It is thought that (he labours of the Chamber
of Deputies will commence on Wednesday, the
day after the Royal Sitting. This first meeting
is always destitute of interest, as it is occupied
merely in going through certain official forms,
The legal number of Deputies is 430, but it is
reduCed to 424 by the double nomination of La
Vend&', the double elections of MM. de March-
angy and Ledizzes Pennanrun, and by the
decease of MM. d'Esterno, d'llardivilliers, and
Delehaye Jousselin, The first bureau will, con-
sequently, be composed of 48 members, and the
eight others will have 47 each. The returns of
the elections will be distributed in the Bureaus,
who will Make their reports on the following day.
The verification of powers will probkbly occupy
two sittings more. A quintuple list of candidates
for the Presidency will then be drawn up, and
the Chamber has also to nominate four Vice Pre-
sidents or Secretaries. There is, besides, this
year, a triple list of candidates for the, vacant
plaCe of Questor to he drawn up. It is not until
after all this preliminary business is gone throUgh
that a Committee will be appointed to draw dp
Pll Address to the Crown.

of his Majesty, at which he presented his credentials.

ROYAL SITTING.
On Tuesday, the 28th of January (yesterday), the Deputies
of the several departments will present themselves at tije Louvre.
Mere follows a long detail of the ceremonies to be observed on
this occasion.).
On Monday evening, at nine o'clock, le Comte Bulgaria
the Russian Minister, arrived in Paris, and immediately pro..
seeded to visit M. Pozzo di forgo.
Brittany, as well as other departments, has been covered with
snow during the last eight days—and yesterday it fell in great
abundance. Many of the communications are interrupted, and
the arrival of couriers .is gretitly retarded.

SPEECH of the KING of FRANCE,
DELIVERED AT THE OPENING OF THE SESSION OF
THE TWO CHAMBERS, ON TUESDAY, JAN. 428.

PARIS, JAN. 2.B.—At two &clock the doors of

the Chamber were thrown open, and every seat
was soon filled.—A Deputation from both Cham-

hers met his Majesty in the Gallery of the

Louvre, which resounded with cries of Vivo le
Roi !—The Royal Family and Great Officers of

State took their usual places according to prece-
dence. The Duchess of Orleans sat in a separate

ribune, richly dressed.—His Majesty having re.

mained uncovered for a moment, delivered the

following Speech :-
44 GENTLEifEN,—The length of the two last
Sessions, the short time which they have left you
at liberty, would have made me wish to he
able to put off for a short time the opening of the
present. But the regular vote of the expenditure

of the State is an advantage of which you have
felt all the value ; and in order to preserve it, I
have depended upon the same devotedness which

had been necessary for me to obtain it.

" 'The situation of the interior of the kingdom

is improved ; the administration of justice, loyally
exercised by the Juries, wisely and courageously
directed by the Magistrates, has put an end to

Le. plots and attempts at revolt which the hope

of impunity emboldened.
" I have concluded with the Holy See those
conventions which were necessary for the forma-
tion of the new dioceses of which the law autho.
rizes the establishment.
" Every where the churches will be provided
with their Pastors ; and the Clergy of France,
completely organized, will bring upon us the
blessings of Providence.
" I have provided by ordinances for regular
order in the auditing of accounts, which economy
in our expences required. My Ministers will
submit to the sanction of the law the account of

the expences of the year 1821. They will fur
nish you with the statement or the receipt and ex
pences effected in 1822, and that of the pre
sumed charges and resources in 189.3.
44 It results from these documents, that al
prior expences being liquidated—even those
which the military preparations have rendered
necessary—we enter upon the service of the year
182,3, with forty millions of surplus applicable to
the service of this year ; and that the accounts
delivered in 1821 will present a balance of re-
ceipts and expellees, without requiring the em-
ployment of this reserve.
6 6 * France owed to Europe the example of a
prosperity which people cannot obtain hut by
a return to religion, to legitimacy, to order,
to true liberty. That salutary example she
now gives.

" But Divine Justice permits, that, after having
for a long time made other nations suffer the
terrible effects of our disorders, we should our-
selves be exposed to dangers from similar calami-
ties among a neighbouring people.
" I have made every endeavour to guarafitee
the security of my people, and to preserve Spain
herself from the extremity of misfortune. The
infatuation with which the representations made
at Madrid have been rejected, leaves little hope

of preserving peace.
46 I have ordered the recal of my Minister :
One hundred thousand Frenchmen, commanded
by a Prince of my family—by him whom my
heart delights to call my son—are ready to march,
invoking the God of St. Louis, for the sake of
preserving the throne of Spain to a descendant of
Henry IV., of saving that fine kingdom from
its ruin, and of reconciling it with Europe.
" Our stations are about to be reinforced in

those places where our maritime commerce has
need of that protection. Cruisers shall he esta-
blished in, every direction, wherever, our home-
ward-bound merchant vessels can possibly be an-

noyed.
" It' war is inevitable, I will use all myendea..
yours to narrow its limits, to shorten its duration ;
it w ill be undertaken only to conquer peace,
which the state of Spain would render impossible.
Let Ferdinand VII. be free to give to his people
institutions which they cannot hold but from
him,, and which by securing their tranquillity
would dissipate the just inquietudes of France ;
from that. moment hostilities shall cease. Before
you, Gentlemen, I make this solemn engagement.
" It was my duty to lay before you the state of
our foreign affairs. It was for me to deliberate. •
I have done so maturely. I have consulted the
dignity of my Crown, the honour and security of
France. Gentlemen, we are Frenchmen ; we
shall always be agreed to defend such interests."
I The Speech of the King produced a profound impression
on the Assembly. The wishes of all pod-Frenchmen are ful.
filled,--a King of France speaking to Frenchmen of the
,6 Honour and security of France," will certainly be listened to
with attention. Soon shall we be able to say---"It n'y a plus
de Pyrenies

* The importance of this part of the Speech
relative to SPkIN, induces us to print the passage
in the language of the original.
