THE KING'S REPLY.

" Yes, you are right. France knows that I am entirely
devoted to her. At the moment of danger she found me
ready to come forward to preserve her from that to which
she was exposed. Thus it is, gentlemen, that, thanks to
your concurrence, to the support of not only the enlight-
ened men of •the nation, but also of the great mass of the
people, who are equally averse to anarchy and despotism,
we have succeeded in satisfying the desires of the Revolu-
tion of July, in protecting and defending our institutions
from every attack, and preserving them for France in all
their purity. These, gentlemen, are the results of the
concurrence I demanded of you, and which you granted.
The nation is now enjoying the happy effects of it, and if
I have the happiness of being allowed to believe that my
services have been useful to my country, you aho, gentle-
men, have the satisfaction of having, as Deputies, fulfilled
the high trust reposed in you by your country, and of
having answered its expectations. Upon this I congratu-
late you. It is with the same satisfaction that I receive
your congratulations on the present prosperity of France ;
her advantageous position abroad, where in all parts we
have sustained the honour and dignity of France, ever
preserving peace—that peace, with respect to which so
many alarms and so many doubts have been raised, and
the fruits of which we are now gathering by the increase
of our commerce and prosperity, and the internal repose
we enjoy amidst the general tranquility of Europe. I
hope that in the course of the present Session it will be
completely consolidated by the laws you will be c illed
upon to discuss, and which, by fulfilling the promises of
the charter, will accomplish all that France expects from
you and from me."

can alone answer her wishes. May you lung live to
wit-
ness the national gratitude, of which you have already
received so many striking testimonies. If, in order to

required, it is important to see public
(unctions hands of men devoted to the King and
the charter, who understand their duties, and have
sufficient firmness and virtue to fulfil them ; it is no less
important that at the head of the administrative hierarchy
there should be a body who by its wisdom, experience,
and reputation, may enlighten the whole Administration.
Such is the tnissi,da of the Council of State. Conse-
quently, the wish of the King is that this peat and liberal

The debate on the address was resumed. M. Chanuis de Montlaville rose and explained an ex- Renee d'Ecnagne_ Five ner Cents._ 1/41,4, V_

M. Garnier Pages rose to address the Chamber.—
(Marks of curiosity.)—He began by acknowledging that
the project of address proposed to them was not made up
of those common places usually employed in these sort of
declamations; nevertheless, with the exception of this
innovation, the address appeared to him very insignifi-
cant ; it appeared to him framed merely with a view to
render the elections favourable to the majority of the
Chamber in the ensuing elections, but he felt confident
that the system of the present Ministry would be stigma-
tized by the electoral body. The Hon. Deputy said he
had witnessed with regret the attack made upon M.
Persil yesterday. M. Persil could not have acted other-
wise than be did. Being appointed by a Government of
violence, he must necessarily act with violence.—(Laugh-,
ter from the centre.) A state of frightful disorder is
seen on every side.—(Oh, oh !) lam not a friend to
popular tumults, nor coalitions of which violence is one
of the means. I seize the opportunity of saying this, in
order that the working classes may know my opinion
upon that subject. Means such as these can lead to no
good result. What the people want is their rights ; a
real representation will make known their wants and
%heir interests,—(Oh !)

M. Chapuis de Montlaville rose and explained an ex-
pression he bad made on the preceding day, which was
misunderstood by the Chamber. In stating that the So-
ciety of the Rights of Man had adopted Robespierre as a
complete symbol of their principles, he meant to say that
they had, no doubt, made a distinction between the patriot
and the sanguinary Member of the Convention. He
declared that, far his part, be repudiated the principles of
the deplorable epoch of 1793, and would never be a
partisan of the political Oct who proclaimed them.
The discussion of the address was then resumed, and
M. Lamortier, as first orator, was called to the tribune.
The name of this gentleman/was received with marks of
approbation, and his appearance at the tribune excited much
interest. The orator began by acknowledging that many
useful reforms had been considered in the Administration,
that improvements had been made in the instruction of the
inferior classes, that peace had been consolidated, and he
thanked the country for those results. After a political
profession, in which he said that lee was the agent of no
party, be professed his respect for our illustrious misfortunes,
and deplored the excesses coramitted in their name in the
western departments of France: he prayed his colleagues
not to take any engagement, with regard to the question
of the East ; thev were, he said, unacquainted with the
intentions of the 'French Government and those of its in-
timate allies on that subject. They should wait until they
understood the question better. He declared that a de-
structive war would be the result of any interference en
the part of France with that of the Ottoman empire, and
begged of his colleagues to suppress the paragraph of the
address referring to the eastern question.
M. Alexandre Giroud made a frightful picture of the
violence, committed in La Vendee by the Chouans, and
expressed a desire that energetic measures should be re-
sorted to, to restore order to that province, and provide
for the security of the patriots who were exposed unjustly
to be disarmed and murdered by ferocious bands, sent
forward by a secret tribunal, who issued sentences but
too punctually executed.

CITY OF LONDON .-CORPORATION
INQUIRY.-(THIS DAY.)

M. Fulcheron began by complaining that much of
dangerous advice was offered to the workmen of Lyons.
He maintained that since the last forty years the condition
of the working classes bad been considerably ameliorated.
He adjured them not to be led astray by the promises of
impossible and sudden perfection. I know, added he,
that we shall probably be pointed out to the people as
their enemies, but we shall have courage enough to submit
to the calumny, for we are not inclined to court popularity
by fostering extravagant and impossible expectations.—
(Applause from the centre.)
M. Chapius Montlaville, who spoke on this occasion
for the first time in the Chamber, declared himself opposed
to the adoption of the Address, but wished it at the same
time to be understood that he did not coincide with those
who wished for the Republic. "He hoped," be said,
"that the Society of the Rights of Man had not chosen
Robespierre for their complete architype."—(Laughter
from the centre, and cries of " Complete ! You have
said it.")
Montlaville—For their architype.—(Cries from the
centre " Complete ! complete !")
The President—lf the Hon. Deputy wishes, he is at
liberty to retract that expression. He has the right.
M. Viennet affirmed that even the poorer landed
proprietors, who are not qualified as electors, are in fa-
vour of the Government, notwithstanding all the interest
which the partisans of revolution show them. M.
Viennet, in alluding to one of the objections made to the
speech from the throne, that no mention was made in it
of Algiers, said, " The question of Algiers was discussed
by the commission, of which I am a member, and
I gave it as my opinion that it was as superfluous to raise
any doubts relative to our keeping of Algiers, as it would
be to raise them with regard to Provence and Normandy.
--(Laughter from the left.) I look upon the colony of
Algiers as having become irrevocably the property of
France. It belongs to us of common right, and in virtue
of the right of conquest; and I do not believe there
could be found any Frenchman who would accept the
place of Minister under the condition of ceding this co-
lony, (M. Viennet, as he passed by the seat of the 31i-
nisters, in returning to his place, was felicitated by
Messrs. Thiers, Bartbe, and de Rigny.)
General Lafayette, on ascending the tribune, took a
general view of the foreign relations of the country, in the
course of which he reproached the Ministry with the abaci_
dooment of Poland, and their indifference with regard to
Italy, He would, he said, on some future occasion, take
the liberty of asking the Minister for Foreign Affairs for
some explanation with regard to the conduct of the Go-
vernment towards Germany.
31. Persil ascended the tribune with rapid strides,
ana commenced by stating that he bad been amongst those
who were the earliest to declare for the Revolution of
July. " I shall endeavour," said he, " Gentlemen, to
prove to you that I have observed faithfully the engage.
ments which I then undertook, and that I have never
ceased to respect those institutions which I am accused of
disregarding. Some have pretended that the Press is not
free in France. But has it ever happened to any amongst
us, on seeing his library. table heaped 'with journals, to say
the liberty of the Press exists not in France? When
walking through the streets may ycu not have heard, at
the very gate of the King's Palace, cries of the venders of
obscene writings—these same venders being dressed in a
costume that would lead you to take them for messengers
of Satan?—(Laughter.) After examining the abomi-
nable tendency of these writings, can any one say that the
liberty of the Press exists not? In my capacity of Ma-
gistrate I doubt that we are sufficiently protected from the
licentiousness of the Press." (Here M. Persil entered
into considerable detail upon his official duties at Attorney
General, and contended that in strict compliance with
these duties he could not have acted otherwise than he
had done.)
M. Persil was frequently interrupted during his speech,
and on one of these occasions the President said :—" Gen-
tlemen,—This discussion is of the most seriour import-
ance—it involves the honour of the Magistrature, to whom
is intrusted the defence of the community, and which, in
its turn, is likewise entitled to protection, and ought to

The Commissioners resumed their adjourned investigation
this morning, at the usual hour.

Sir F. PALGRAYE in the Chair.

Mr. WOODTIIORPE continued his evidence. On the subject
of the contest for the Aldermanic gown of the Portsoken Ward,
between Messrs. Scales and Johnstone, as it was a matter sub
udice, Mr. Woodthorpe declined giving any opinion. In
regard to the freedom of the city, some immediately take up
their freedom on being summoned before the Chamberlain;
others after being granted some time; if not, on engaging to
quit the city no proceedings were taken against them. There
was no difficulty in procuring a company to get admission.
Indeed, for the convenience of the public, several of the offi-
cers about Guildhall were clerks of the minor companies,
who were empowered at once to grant admission to applicants
on the spot, without calling together the master and the
wardens. The fines on admission were not uniform in the
different Companies, but in many instances the variation did
not exceed from ss. to lOs. These was thus established a
competition between the different Companies which naturally
prevented unreasonable fines being demanded. The City Cor-
poration do not interfere at all in regard to the amount of the
fines ; it is left entirely to the discretion of the different Com-
panies. The circumstance that traders in the city were ob.
liged to take up their freedom, had a decided effect in increasing
the respectability, and in raising the character of the tradesmen.
The very name of a Freeman of the City of London gave a high
standing to the tradesman. It was for this purpose, in order to
secure freemen capable of bearing burdens, and having the means
of carrying on his business that it was originally required before
admission, that a person should produce a certificate from six
neighbours, that he was a man of substance and goods and
chattels. A master being free of the city, has a right to em.
ploy under him those who are not freemen, provided, having
an apprentice, he has failed in his application for fit and able
journeymen, who have been ad mitted to the freedom of the
city. The master must make oath to this effect, before he
can procure a license from the Court of Lord Mayor and Alder-
men. The Court does not generally enter into the question of
wages. If the freeman, however, demands exorbitant wages, the
Court would allow the non freemen to be employed. But the
master was always ready to employ a freeman much in prefer-
ence to a foreigner, unless there was some moral or other valid
objection to his character or professional skill. The price of
a license is is. fid. ; the demand for them was not considerable
in consequence of their not being opposed. The course was for
an operative freeman to bring an information in the Lord
Mayor's Court against a master who employed foreigners with-
out a license in order to recover the penalties ; the master has
to satisfy the Court of the incompetency of the freeman or he
must dismiss a foreigner and employ him. The taking up of
his freedom insures a man always good employment and good
wages ; and for twenty-five years past his (Mr. Woodthorpe's)
opinion was that the freemen of the City had been in full remu-
nerative employment, which was another reason, and he
thought the principal one why licenses to employ non-freemen
had become so uncommon now.

M. Odillot; Barrot wished for the representative Go•
vernment in all its purity, and for hereditary monarchy
with all the liberty and all the guarantees obtained by the
revolution of July, and declared his perfect acquiescence
in the eloquent political professions delivered on Friday
by his friend M. Mauguin. If those guarantees were
violated, the safety of the country, he said, required
that the representative Government, as he understood
it should be restored to its purity, and for that purpose
it was necessary that the Administration should be
backed by the majority of the nation. The Ministry
must be the expression of that majority. He then
went on to show the differences existing in the Cabinet,
the non-identity of its principles, and maintained that
the representative Government did not exist. The majo-
rity of the Chamber, overawed by emeutes, and the ex-
pressions of principles subversive of society, may be said
to have offered its support to the Government ; but it did
not by that act identify itself with their system. He then
recapitulated the numerous defeats which the Ministry had
experienced in the Chambers. Their Bill for the erection
of forts round the capital had been thrice brought forward
and rejected. They likewise supported the hereditary
principle of the Peerage, and many other Bills which be
would not enumerate, and yet the same Ministry continued
to govern within the Chambers. The state of siege they
proclaimed without any motive, and was so strongly stig-
matised by the Court of Cassation, that they had not
courage to defend it. At a moment when they assured the
nation that peace was secured, they contemplated to sur-
round Paris with Bastiles ; and when the Chamber re-
fused to grant the necessary funds for their construction,
one of the Members of the Cabinet came forward, and de-
clared that the works should be continued, and that the
public funds should be applied to that purpose, in spite of
the vote of the Legislature. Could that, he inquired, be
called a Representative Government ? The fortification
of Lyons might be considered as a military question, as it
could be attended with no bad consequences for the liberty
of the country, but that of Paris could not he held in any
other than a political point of view.—[Left speaking.]

The Augsburg Gazette of the 31st ult., has the fol-

frontiers, dated the 24th ult.:—" News from. Paris is
of a pacific nature; there seems now to be an inclination
to act more in accordance with the political views of the
Northern Courts, and not blindly to follow 'she impulse
which the British Government would willingly give at
Paris relative to oriental affairs. It is now seen that peace
is desired by all, and that it is not prudent to oppose the
public wish, as it is often done in England. The British
tlinistry appears to be under the yoke of the journalists;
persons well acquainted with that country are of opinion
that its opposition to the Russian treaty proceeds either
from weakness or inexperience. More caution is ob-
served in Paris, where there appears to be the same re-
strictions with England in Turkish matters, as England
employs with France, in the affairs of Spain. This accords
with the advice given to Louis Philip by a celebrated
statesman.—' Qu'il ne fallait pas s'engager dons une
affaire d propos de bottes'—proviug to the King how
cautiously it was necessary to act in a remote question of
secondary interest to France, wi'bout interrupting tho
friendly alliance existing with England. Should this
statesman's advice be followed, France may become a
mediator in the oriental questions and it may be settled

About half past 10 o'clock last Sunday
evening a chaise drove up to the Angel Inn, in Warmin-
ster, and put down a lady and gentleman, totally desti-
tute of any luggage. The lady appeared to be much
affected, weeping much, and desired to see the landlady.
On her going into the room the gentleman somewhat
hastily directed her to leave it, which she did, and shortly
after sent in the waiter, who found, to his great surprise,
that in the interim the parties had left the house. It ap-
pears they had gone to the Lord's Arms Inn, and there
bespoke a bed, but while partaking of refreshments they
changed their minds and ordered a chaise, in which they
drove off for Deptford Inn, where they arrived after the
family were all gone to bed ; however, they succeeded in
getting a bed, the lady being ohliged to burrow night
clothes of the chambermaid. Next morning the party
drove off, it is supposed to Southampton, intending to
cross over to France. The lady is wife to H k,
Esq., proprietor of a pack of hounds, and in the mother of

LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 6, 1834.

The returns of the Quarter's Revenue, ending
yesterday, although they show a deficiency for
the quarter of 91,5471., and for the year of
442,4941., are on the whole satisfactory, con-
sidering the amount of the taxes which have
been reduced or repealed. But for those re-
ductions there would probably have been an
increase in the total Revenue for the year.
The Excise returns for the year show an in-
crease of 183,7411., and as this branch of the
Revenue is said to be the thermometer by which
the better or worse condition of the people is
shown, we may congratulate the public on the
returns. We could wish, however, whilst we
rejoice at the increased power of the industrious
orders for the purchase of the articles of comfort
and luxury which are subject to the Excise
Laws, that the account were not swelled by the
continually increasing propensity for spirits which
so many of that class of our fellow countrymen
display. We would cheerfully dispense with
the portion of Revenue so obtained.
The decrease on the Customs for the year is
612,8941., and for the quarter just ended not
less than 293,0191., being in the proportion of
nearly double wh at it is for the whole year. We
confess we do not anticipate an improvement in,
this branch of the Revenue for the ensuing year
The new Prussian tariff will, in all probability,
prevent an increase in our Custom returns ; and
we think we are warranted in assuming that the
deficiency of the last quarter has been, in some
measure, caused by anticipation of that event.
There is another deficiency in the Post-office
returns. How are we to account for this gra-
dual and continued falling off? Has it never
occurred to Ministers that the rate of
postage is so high that every means are
adopted to carry on communication by
other channels ? To prevent deficiency we
have heard of the rigid enforcement by the
Post-office agents, of the laws against the
transmission of letters by private hand. Were
the rate of postage to be reduced, there would
be no necessity for such proceedings. It should
be remembered that the present rate rose gra-
dually to what it is, by new additions during
the war, when the means of transport were
dearer, and salaries of every kind at least 25
per cent. higher than they now are. It would
be just, therefore, as well as politic, to reduce
the rate of postage in proportion as other
charges have been reduced.

The Dutch Papers last received contain an
article from St. Petersburgh, disavowing the
offensive article in the Moscow Gazette, in
which it was said that the next peace between
England and Russia would be signed in Calcutta,
and declaring that there is no ill-feeling against the
English nation in Russia. It is, it seems, only
against the Radicals of the English Parliament
that NICHOLAS entertains hostility. We are
not surprised at his dislike of those gentlemen ;
but we dare say Mr. CUTLAR FERGUSSON and
the other Members of the House of Commons,
who have exposed his atrocities to the Poles,
will feel honoured by the hatred of the Autocrat
of the North.

The Allgemeine Zeitung, which arrived this
morning, contains a curious article from
Augsburg, dated the 30th ult., in which it is
stated that the SULTAN, in acknowledging a
present of cannon from the King of ENGLAND,
said " he felt the most lively interest in a well
organized naval force, and the power of a fine
fleet ; that he had visited the Tuikish fleet,
which peculiar circumstances had brought to
Constantinople, and that he likewise wished to
see the English fleet stationed in the Mediter-
ranean, but that he must renounce that pleasure,
because neither the interest of the British Go-
vernment nor that of his empire could allow the
entrance of that fleet into the Dardanelles.
If this statement be correct, what becomes of
