you will not lose sight of these considerations, and
that you will faithfully second in this respect the
benevolent efforts of his Majesty for the general good.
In order to attain these different objects new demands of
credits are indispensable, but his Majesty hopes that it
will not be' necessary to burthen the State with new
taxes. God bless the King ! God bless this happy
country ! In the name of the King, and by virtue of
the powers which I hold from his Majesty, I declare the
,Session open."-

The French JournalsOf Tuesday have duly
reached us. In our Summary we have recorded
their opinions upon the only political subjects in
their editorial columns. What general news
they contain we give in the following extracts:—
Our Correspondent at Toulon, writes to us on the 2d—
" The ships are taking in six months provisions, and
making every other preparation for sailing on the Bth,
at latest. Thus Admiral La Susse will have under him
six ships of the line, the Calypso frigate, two sloops,
three brigs, and a steam-ship. This is a good divi-
sion for a Rear-AdMiral ; but we shall still be infe-
rior to the English, who have twelve ships of the
line at Malta and in the Levant, which have
been reinforced by the Monarch, and soon will be
joined by the ,Queen. We have remaining at Toulouse
three three-deekers, and five two-deckers, but two of
these are under repair, and three are armed en flute, so
that Admiral Hugon has only a disposable force of three
ships armed en guerre. Admiral La Susse's instructions
are said to be to cruise off the mouth of the Dardanelles,
so as to prevent the Turkish fleet from coming out, or
at least from attacking Greece or Tunis. The Diademe
of the line has sailed with 500 men for the 61st Regi-
ment of the line, and 500 for the 3d Light Infantry.
both of which are in the province of Constantine, but
these detachments are not sufficient to fill up the voids,
which will require 300 more for each regiment. Every
year the regiments in Africa are reduced one-third of
their effective force by death, by leave granted to inva-
lids, and by final discharge from service. Troops are
daily coining in from the surrounding villages. Two
additional battalions are about to be sent to the 19th of
the line. If Tlemecen and the camp of Tafna are to be
again occupied, an additional effective force of 6,000 men
will be required before the spring."—Courrier Francaiv.

wishes of the people.

DIMINUTION IN THE SALE OF CHEAP PUBLI-
CATIONS.—We are given to understand that, in
consequence of the distress, a considerable fall-
ing off has taken place in the sale of those light
and cheap papers which the working classes
were in the habit of buying for their instruction
or recreation. We are inclined to look on the
falling off in the sales of such luxuries as a more
certain indication of the' distress of the people
than the reduction of the excise duties, which
are levied chiefly on the necessaries, or on the
supposed necessaries of life, and which will only
fall off as the population are starved out-
right. If such works as those published by
the Messrs. Chambers, the Penny Magazine,
and Cleave's Penny Gazette, &c., &c., should
diminish in sale, that would be an index to the
deteriorating condition of the people, which it
would be judicious, we think, to put the public
in possession of. Tradesmen of various kinds,
who deal in the little luxuries of the poor, can,
if they will, throw much light on the condition
of the people, by stating the progress of their
own business. _ _

We hear that the Infant Prince is to be named
Albert Edward, after his Royal father and
grandfather, and that the Queen Dowager and
the Duke of Saxe-Coburg are to be sponsors.—
