of Captain Peloffre, which is composed of a frigate and three

the coast of Spain in the Mediterranean.
We may form an idea of the stock-jobbing in Spanish secu-
rities by this fact, that a few days since persons at Antwerp,
who had sold the Rentes Perpetuelles during the morning at
55, were able to procure the same at Brussels in the evening
at 49k.
M. Thompson, editor of the Standard, a journal established

to five years' imprisonment, and after —afi—eiiitticeof only—a=
few weeks the paper ceased to appear. M. Thompson is ac-
cused of having set up his journal at the instigation of the Bel-

CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.—SITTING OF Ana. 12.
M. Dupin in the Chair.
M. Hebert, named for the department of I'Eure, was ad-
mitted and took the oath.

The order of the day being the reading of—
THE PROPOSED ADDRESS OF THE CHAMBER

OF DEPUTIES.
The President, amidst the deepest silence, read the follow-
ing draught :
" Sire,—The Chamber of Deputies has hastened with zeal
to the first summons of your Majesty. Recently honoured with
the suffrages of France, legitimate organs of its wishes and its
sentiments, we bring of these the loyal and sincere expression.
" A liberal and moderate policy is alone worthy of the Go-
vernment that it has chosen, and that we have sworn to main-
tain. •The Charter of 1830, and of the dynasty that it has
founded, the progressive and regular development of constitu-
tional institutions, liberty and order, respect for every right
and fidelity to every duty, prudence and dignity in the govern-
ment of the State, an intelligent and severe economy in the
management of public wealth, these are what the country
seeks and wishes, with all the force of its interests, all the
energy of .ifs convictions. 41,

" The peaceable execution of the last measures voted by
the Chambers attests how much the law has recovered its
authority. France is wearied of agitations ; and those violent
passions which time daily tranquillizes more and more, will at
last disappear before the progress of public enlightenment,
seconded by a firm and prudent Administration ; which,
severe towards crime, but indulgent to error, applies its energies
to heal the long-envenomed wounds of civil discord.

" Yes, Sir, these hopes will be realized ; and agriculture,
which is undoubtedly improving, though still suffering under
ills from which it demands relies—commerce, sufficiently active
in the interior, but requiring to be more developed abroad—
will augment individual affluence and comfort, as well as the
public riches, under the influence of those laws which will be
examined by us with all the maturity that the conciliation of
such varied interests demands.
" But, Sire, however flattering this perspective of prosperity
may be, whatever resources it holds forth for the future, they
would be insufficient without order in the finances, which is the
principal guarantee of order in the State. It is absolutely
necessary to arrive at that equilibrium which your Majesty
gives us the hope of seeing established between the public re-
ceipts and expenses. We expect that your Majesty's Minis-
ters, associating themselves with the very decided wishes of
the country, that the expenses may be confined within the
limits of the ordinary revenue, will take the first step in all
practicable reductions; that,they will even avoid, if possible,
exhausting the extraordinary credits which have been placed
at their disposal through the fear of future troubles, which,
thanks to the preservation of peace, and to the ready establish-
ment of order, have, happily, not been realized. It is time
that an exact balance should be established in our budget.
We know this to be a laborious task, but we devote ourselves
thereto, and the Chamber will follow up this object with that
_perseverance from which it could not depart without neglect-
ing its mission.
" We will attentively examine the finance laws, which are
announced to us : we do not doubt that the rules laid down
during the last session have been faithfully observed, and that
the expenses have been confined to the legislative credits.
" We are anxious that the country should enjoy, as speedily
as possible, those laws which will complete the promises of
the Charter : this is a sacred debt, that we shall be happy in
paying.
" The propositions which relate to the execution of treaties
will be the objects of our serious examination.
" We congratulate ourselves, together with your Majesty,
on the state of our relations with foreign powers.
" The happy termination of the conflict which had so long
desolated Portugal, is an important step towards the pacifica-
tion of the Peninsula.
" The treaty, so conformable to the policy of France,
which your Majesty has entered into with the King of
Great Britain, the Queen of Spain, and the Queen of Por-
tugal, must have the most salutary effect towards
the re-establishment of internal peace in countries
which we have seen with the greatest satisfaction
adopt the representative system. Your Majesty informs
us that, always closely allied with England, you are
occupied, in concert with your allies, in considering the state
of Spain, where new and complicated circumstances have
arisen ; we earnestly hope that a people so worthy of our sym-
pathy may overcome all obstacles, and may, in the midst of
peace, reap the advantages of its institutions.
" Your Majesty informs us that the state of things in the
East is satisfactory, and that the general peace is not likely
to be disturbed. We trust that your Government does not
cease to fix your attention on the great questions connected
with the balance of power in Europe, which has already been
seriously compromised by the attack on the nationality of the
Poles. _

" We have heard with pleasure from the mouth of your Ma-
jesty rallying words, worthy of a generous and enlightened
Prince. When, Sire, you call on all good citizens to rally
round your constitutional throne, be assured that your voice
will be heard. In vain have opposite factions endeavoured to
muster their scattered forces ; when antipathies coalesce, the
genuine opinions of the nation unite also. All shades are
blended in one ; and in the midst of this expanded family of
Frenchmen united under your protecting sceptre, you, Sire,
will enjoy in the affection of your country the most noble re-
compence that could be sought by the King of a free people."

PIRACY.

Captain Hayward, of tl.e brig Lester, which arrived at this
port from Demerara, on Tuesday last, reports the following
occurrence on her voyage
" Thursday, June 26—Wind N.E. by E., lat. 21 13, long.
61 28 W. At ten, a. in. saw a schooner, on our weather bow,
steering to the N. W. ; at eleven perceived that she had borne
away, with the apparent intention of speaking to us. and not
liking her appearance I kept off the wind two points, and
made all sail in order to get away, but at noon she was gain-
ing on us fast, and I could plainly discern that her decks
were full of men, and a long gun mounted amidships. At
half-past twelve she fired a gun and hoisted Spanish colours,
which I answered by hoisting the English flag, but still kept
on, hoping to get away from her ; she then being about a
quarter of a mile on our weather quarter. In about ten
minutes after she fired a shot, which fell a few feet from our
stern, and as she was gaining on us fast, I thought it best to
heave to ; when after I did so the schooner came up
alongside, hailed us, and ordered me to lawer my boat.
and go on board. I accordingly went, with four of my crew,
and on getting alongside I jumped on her deck among a par-
cel of as ruffianly-looking fellows as can be imagined, and
was introduced to the Captain, who after inquiring where I
came from, where I was bound to, and what my cargo con-
sisted of, asked me if I could spare him some provisions,
which, he said, he was much in want of. I told him I had
but barely sufficient for my Ai crew, but if he was actually in
want I would spare him a part. My men were then ordered
out of the boat, and six of the schooner's crew were sent with
me on board my vessel ; they were armed with long knives
and pistols, and on getting on board immediately went down
into the cabin and ransacked every locker they could find,
broke open my drawers, trunks, and desks, plundered me of
my watch, part of my clothes, and other valuables, and
took away all our provisions, except one half-barrel of
pork, one bag of bread, a small quantity of flour, pease
and rice, and a little tea and sugar. They took away
a bag of sugar and a cask of rum (part of the cargo),
together with a quantity of fruit, preserves, &c., a quan-
tity of canvass, cordage, twine, and numerous other ar-
ticles, which loaded the boat twice. They likewise plundered
my crew of a great part of their clothes, and held a knife to
the mate's breast whilst they took his watch from him. They
inquired frequently for money, and several times threatened to
stab some of my men who told them there was none on board.
They offered no violence to me, but disregarded my remon-
strances when they were robbing the ship. They were fierce
resolute-looking fellows, and frequently threatened some of
my crew to murder us all, which they would no doubt have
done had we mak any resistance.
The schooner appeared about 110 tons burthen, with a great
beam, low and sharp, and manned with between 40 and 50
men ; they had a great quantity of small arms on deck, ready
for use, when I went on board.
They told me they were last from St. Andero (Spain), and
bound to Porto Rico ; but I have no doubt they are regular
pirates. At 4 p.m., the men who were plundering left us,
and shortly after they had got on board the schooner, I had
the satisfaction of seeing my own men returning, and the pi-
rate bear away before the wind, and make all sail to leeward.
The Captain sent me 50 Mexican dollars as payment for part
of the things his men had taken, probably to make me believe
that he did not countenance them in plundering. The Cap-
tain's questions were put through an interpreter, though he
appeared to understand English very well. The majority of
the crew were evidently Englishmen and Americans, the re-
mainder Portuguese and Spaniards.

The bean harvest, which generally comes after that
of barley and oats, is this year in advance of both.
