FRANKFURT' AND BRUSSELS PAPERS.

PALERMO, OCTOBER 27.

On the 22d, the King repaired to Parliament, ac-
companied by his Royal Highness the Hereditary
Prince, and followed by a numerous retinue. His
Majesty opened the Session with a Speech, of which
the following is the most striking passages :

" On entering again into this Assembly, I have the consola-
tion to conceive the must flattering hopes. Surrounded by the
fai Councillors of the Crown, I find here those wise Citizen:
whArt a tree and uniform choice Inti rendered the organs of the
polslic sentiments. What fortunate results for the glory and the
p: olicrit) of the nation may we trot expect from their labours!
" It is hut a short time since I expressed, in this Hall, what
tie public honour and intereat required. Honourable Represen-
tutees es. the House of Commons, you feel the obligation of
maintaining the honour of the nation. The era of a new Go-
•crnment would be ill begun by disgracing it, through a viola-
tion or good faith in the payment of the debts of the State, by
pretending that tranquillity is to be eujoyed without strength, and
that areng . is to be obtained without taxes.
" I have ordered all the statements relative to the finances to
be laid before you. Labour assiduously in establishing the pub-
lic revenue and in your deliberations on this subject, combine
the interest of individuals with the interest of the Stat. But be-
fore all things, employ yourselves on those objects which do not
admit of delay, without violating propriety, arid exposing our tran-
quillity. Two loans have been made under the guarantee of the
i3rilish Government; be speedy in giving them your sanction,
and in providing the means to meet them. It is one of the• first
and most sacred duties of justice, and also of gratitude to a gene-
rous and magnanimous nation, to whose alliance and liberal. as-
sistance, we owe a great part of the good which we enjoy, and to
which we shall likewise owe the still more precious good which
we hope shortly to enjoy.
•• Lastly, I must recommend to you the army. It is unworthy

La you to allow d-lay in the payment of those to whose honour

the defence of the State has been confided, and who, in these lat-
..,
ter times, have so much increased du: reputation and the glory of
our arms.

" For the rest. I have nothing interesting to tell you on what
las passed since the dissolution of the late Parliament, unless I
speak of the immortal work which the great Powers have un-
dertaken to consolidate universally the good which has been ob-
tame.l; An August Congress, of which the annals of history
cannot furnish a parallel, is employed in laying foundations which
will insure its possession. In general the affairs of Europe tend to
the complete re-establishment of justice and tranquillity. But
till we are in the full enjoyment of these advantages, it is indis-
pemible to redouble our care and our vigilance. The fate of Si-
cily is fixed. •
" Author and witness of the stable happiness of the Sicilians,

I shall find in their gratitude, and in their love, the sweetest en-

joyment for the years that? have still remaining, and I shall always
- dedicate those years to their good, with the same ardour and the
• same affection."

His Majesty named the Prince of Pdntellirea to be
President of the House of Peers for this year.
