PRESBURG, SEPTEMBER 10.

Yesterday, at ten o'clock in the Cot enoon,. the States
assembled in the Palace inhabited by his Majesty, to
hear the Veni Sacvete. They then proceeded in their
national costume to the Hall of the Throne, where the
Empress, the Archduchesses Sophia and Palatine, and
their Imperial Highnesses the Crown Prince and the
Archduke Francis Charles, were in the gallery. The
Empress and the whole Imperial Family were received
with acclamations, which, however, reached the highest
pitch when his Majesty. the Emperor, surrounded by
the chief Officers of the Hungarian Crown, in their na-
tional c•'stume, entered the Hall, and seated himself on
the Throne. His Majesty having put on his hat, deli-
vered the following speech, which was repeatedly in.
terrupted by the acclamations of the assembly:

44 With the greatest joy I hail the long wished for moment when
I could assemble the Scales of my much beloved kingdom of Ilun-
gary about my throne, to consult with you on the best means of
promoting the welfare of the country, and, by the solemn Corona-
tion of the Queen. my most beloved consort, to unite a faithful
people, as it were by a new bond, still closer to my heart.
" Important events have taken place since we last met here.
The most sanguinary wars had to be waged, In order to obtain for
Europe the enjoyment of the peace which it had so long desired in
vain. During the whole continuance of this struggle, I, for my
own person, have thought no fatigue too great, have shunned no
cares, no exertions, which I thought calculated to protect the rights
of my kingdom, and to leave the honour of the monarchy inhe-
rited from my ancestors, and the dignity of the crown which I
wear, unimpaired to my successors.

".And my honest exertions were not fruitless—they were
crowned by happy victories, and the wished for termination of the
evils of war. I openly declare, that this must be ascribed first of
all to Goo, the arbiter of all fates, and then to the love and fide-
lity of my people, the undiakro perseverance of the Allied Mo-
narchs, the valour of my armies, and lastly, the sacrifices which
my subjrcts have made, with so much perseverance, and to their
eternal honour.

4, What share Hungary took, with what seal it has proved its
fidelity, hs attachment, and that innate elevation of mind which
has always been distinguished as the support of the throne, and the
inheritance of your fathers, is proved by deeds which gratitude has
engraven on my heart in imperishable characters.
" But while by the happy success of my arms the Monarchy was
preserved, and the possibility obtained of reuniting with the King-
dom of Hungary the 'countries that had been torn from it, the
people subject to my sceptre have, in the most recent times, ob-
tained a glorious victory of another kind; a victory which will
produce for them and their posterity the most salutary fruits. Ail
of them. and among them my Hungarians, have repelled from
them that dangerous spirit which has plunged several countries in
Europe into the greatest distresses ; justly considering that hope,
built on the wisdom of the Alatucusv, and inviolable fidelity to I
the Sovereign, confirmed by reciprocal confidence. and the scrupu-
lout übsetvanct of the ancient iust:tutions, which are consecrated 1

- -

by age, and the experience of many aentuviea, conskAte their true
fideiity..and an immovable, barrier nailer alitiretalstances.
" It is evident to everybody that thollnaaces of the sate must
have made many and great sacrifices hi the vicissitudes of the late
years. 'But a system nittored by long discussion, intro:lowed with
firmness, and prosecutediwith unwearied seal; has, in a manner, new
created and confirmed public credit, and already healed many
wounds. It remains for a prudent legislation to heal the remainder,
and to consolidate the permanent welfare of Hungary.

" I ask from you nothing but zeal for your own goods but I es-
pect from your wisdom, Fathers of the Country, that you will
propose the means best adapted to obtain k, which will not fall
either of producing their desired effect, or of gaining the entire ap-
probation of me,your Kirg, if, animated solely by zeal fur the gene-
ral good, you will join your efforts with mine to promote the last-
ing prosperity of the kingdom, and thus to merit the grateful re-
membrance of posterity.

" The certain hope of sontinned peace greatly favours those sa-
lutar y deliberations; there is, beskiesoanother reason for engaging in
them without delay—my age advances, apd the days of mortals are
in the hands of the ALMIGHTT. But I ardently wish to live long
enough to enjoy the happy confidence that I leave to my successors,
and to the Hungarian themselves, my dearly belosted children, your
prosperity increased by wise laws and ordinances, which shall at the
same time strengthen the Constitution of the kingdoms
" Lastly,—The faithful Estates will perceive, from the proposi-
tions which I herewith present to them, that my paternal views
are solely directed to the good of the State, and to the interest of
all the inhabitants of my kingdom of Hungary, and I assure you of
my Imperial and Royal favour and affection."

This speech made an extraordinary impression in the
Asembly. When his Majesty pronounced the words
Pogredilur mempe otos nostra, et madam Anni
ix nsanibus Domini sent, lter Majesty the Empress and
the Archduchess Sophia were moved to tears. The
whole Assembly, for a moment, was in extraordinary
agitation, and when his Majesty continued, bioke out
into cries of L'ing, very long, may GOD preserve him."

The Emperor, with lean in his eyes, concluded his
speech, and withdrew, strongly affected, amidst the
acclamations of his faithful Hungarians. The Empress
and all the Princes and Princesses wore the national
costume, and thus, with the splendid dresses of the
Magnates and Nobles, of whom about eight hun.
dred were present, made a great impression. It re-
called the scene when the Hungarians, in similar, but
more dangerous circumstances, exclaimed, Mori-,
amur pro Rege nosh.° Maria neresia. The royal
propositions, which his Majesty delivered sealed -to the
Chancellor, Prince Coharyt were afterwards read in a
public sitting ; first in the chamber of the Magnates,
then in that of the Deputies, and received with great
enthusiasm. The Palatine made a speech on the occa-
sion. The Empress and the Arch• Duchesses appeared
again in the gallery in the hall of the Magnates, and
were again welcomed with transports.

The French Papers of Friday and Saturday have
rafted us. It appears that the French we labouring
hard, at Madrid, to induce FERDINAWD to recognize the
independence of South America, on condition of the
Republics paying. a certain sum, which one of the
French Journals fixes at the modest sum of sixty-two
millions sterling ! The object of FtliflCO is clear enough ;
she expects by this to be indemnified the expense of her
attny of occupation; unless, however, there are more
Borxas than he of Hayti, that object will be defeated-
A squadron has indeed sailed from the Sardinian
ports, to convey Consuls and Agents to the several
ports of Barbary, and, what is really humiliating to the
Chi istian name, " the usual presents to the Governments
of those countries."

Some days ago we stated that a conspiracy had been
detected in Hayti, having for its object to overturn the
Gctverriment of BOYER, who has rendered himself justly
unpopular by the strange bargain he has made with
France. It appears from the latest intelligence from
Hayti, that the conspiracy was of a very formidable and
desperate character, having for its object the massacre
of all the Mulatto Chiefs, of whom the black population
is extremely jealous.
Accounts from Port au Prince to the 14th of August,
received this forenoon at the North and South American
Coffee-hods, state, that the principal authors of the con-
spiracy had been arrested, and that several Officers who
had been in the service of CRRISTOPHE, were of the
number ; several shots are said to have been exchanged.
between the conspirators and the troops of BOYER, who.,
as soon as he heard of the insurrection, hastened to the
spot. A letter of the 13th cf August says, tranquillity
was entirely restored in the North, but a number of ar-
rests had taken place, and several superior Officers had,
