By a►)vices from St. Jago de Chili, dated 29th
September, we learn, that a great number of ves-
sels were arriving from England and America
with cargoes of from 4 td 500,000 dollars each.
They state the anticipated fall of Lima has ruined
the markets. The amount of property brought
there within the last 12 months is calculated tit
10 millions of dollars. The Patriots, since their
last successes, have passed their time in feasting
and rjoiciog. The Royalists still held posses-
sion of.Talcuana and Conception; but the Pa-
triots were going against them the end of October;
they then, if successful, intended to march against
Lima, which was reported to be in a very de-
tneeless state. The Viceroy had again sued for
a truce of five years,• which had been declined.—
The Span;sh Minister is said to be dangerously
ill at Lima. Since the sailing of the Ontario
from Valparaiso, Judge Prevost bad returned
there; but it appeared he was going to the north-
west coast in the British sloop of war Blossom,

LONDON,
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 12, 181 g.

We received this morning, in regular course,
the Paris Papers of Wednesday last. Those of
Thursday also arrived by express. The latter
contain the Speech delivered by the KING on the
opening of the Session of the Chambers, as fol-
lows :

" PARIS, DEC. H.
" SPEECH OF THE KING,

DELIVERED ON OPENING THE SESSION OF 1818.
" GENTLEMEN,—At the commencement of the
last Session, at the same time that I deplored the
evils which afflicted our Country, I had the satis-
faction to give reason to consider the termination
of them as near at hand—a generous effort, and
of which I have the noble pride to say no other
nation has afforded a fairer example, has enabled
me to realize those hopes, and they;are so. My
troops alone occupy all our strong places ; one of
my sons, who hastened to join in the first trans-
ports of joy of our delivered Provinces, has with
his own hands, and amidst the acclamations of thy
people, hoisted the French standard on the ram-
parts of Thionville. This standard now coats on
all the territory of France. The day on which
those of my children who have borne with so
much courage the burden of an occupation of
more thtt, three years have been delivered front it
will be one of the finest days of my life ; and my
French heart has 'enjoyed no less the end of their
distresses than the liberation of the Country. The
Provinces which have so powet fully occupied my
thoughts till this day; deserve to fix those of the
Nation, which has adrnired, as I have done, their
heroic resignation.:

The noble unanimity of heart and of send-
tnents which you mauilested, when I called upon
you for the means to fulfil our engagements, was

a brilliant proof of the attachment of die Vrenc b
to their Country, aOhe confidence of the Nation
ti lt
in its King, en - ope has eagerly received
l France, replaced hi e rank which belongs to
her. The Declaration, which announces to the
....
world the principles on which the union of the
Five Powers is founded, sufficiently spews the
friendship which prevails among the Sovereigns.
This salutary union, dictated by Justice, and con-
solidated by Morality and Religion, has for its
object to prevent the scourge of Var, by the
maintenance of Treaties, by the guarantee of
existing rights, and permits us to fix our eyes on
the long days of Peace which such an alliance
promises to Europe.

I have awaited in silence the happy epoch to
turn my thoughts, to the national solemnity in
which religion consecrates the intimate union of
the People with their King ; when rectiving the
Royal Unction in the midst of you, 1 shall take
to t‘itness the God by whom Kings reign, the
God of Clovis, of Charlemagne, of St. Lonis—l
shall renew, at the Altar, the oath to confirm the
Institutions, founded on that Charter, which I
cherish more, since the French, by an unani-
mous sentiment, have partly 'allied round it. In
the laws which will be proposed to you, I shall
take care that its spirit shall be always consulted,
in order to secure mote and more the public rights
of the French, and to preserve to the Monarchy
the force which it must. have to preserve all the
liberties which are dear to my people,

" In seconding my wishes and my efforts, you
will not forget, Gentlemen, that this Charter,
deliveting France from despotism, has put an -end
to !evolutions. I depend on your concurrence to
repel those pernicious principles which, under the
mask of Liberty, attack social order, conduct by
anarchy to absolute power, and whose fatal success
has cost the world so much blood and so many

tears.
" My Ministers will lay before you the Budget
of the expellees which the public service requires.
The pi otracted effects of events, ;he consequences
of which we have been forced to bear or to ac-
cept, have not yet allowed me to propose to
you a diminution of the burdens imposed
upon my people, but I have the consolation
to 'perceive at no great distance, the moment
when I shall be able to satisfy this de-
sire of my heart. From this moment a limit is
fixed to the increase of our debt ; we have the
certainly that it will diminish in a rapid progres-
sion. This certainty, and the fidelity of Fiance
in the fulfilment of her engagements,will establish,
on an immovable foundation, the public credit,
which some transitory circumstances Common to
other States bad seemed to affect for a moment.
The French youth have just given a noble proof
of love to their country and the King. The re-
cruiting law has been executed with submission,
t, aid often with joy ; while the young soldiers en-
ter the ranks of the Army, their brothers who
are released remain in the bosom of their families,
and the veterans, who have fulfilled their engage-
ments, return to their homes; they are both living
examples of fidelity henceforth inviolable in exe-
-curing the laws.
After the calamities of a scarcity, the re-
membrance of which still afflicts my soul, Pro-
vidence this year, lavish of its benefits, has co-
vered our fields with abundant harvests. They
will serve to recover a commerce, whose vessels
visit every sea, and skew the French flag to the
most remote nations. Industry and the Arts also
extending their Empire, will add to the sweets of
general peace. To the independance of the Coun-
try, to public liberty is added private liberty,
which France has never so entirely enjoyed. Let
us, therefore, unite our sentiments and our
expressions of gratitude, to the Author of so
many blessings ; and let us know how to
render them durable. They will be so. It bas
nishes every sad remetnb7H,lce ; and, stifling
every resentment, the French thoroiighly per-
suade themselves that their liberties are iusepar-
able from that order, which itself rests upon the
Throne, their sole palladium. My duty is to de-
fend them against their common enemies. I shall
fulfil it, and I shall find in you, Gentlemen, that
support which I have never yet invoked in vain."
