The Speech of the French Km to the Chambers will
• be read with interest, for, at no period has the sentiments
of that Government been looked for with more intense
anxiety. It silences many doubts, puts an end to half al
thousand speculations, and although not within its
ambiguities, is for the most part highly satisfactory, and.
even gratifying. His MAJESTY says, that 44His rela-
tions with 'Foreign Powers continue to be friendly;i
that the assurances which he receives from. his Allies
offer him a pledge, that notwithstanding the:ikon
which have desolated the East, peace sill not be dis-
turbed in the rest of Loops." 'Thus. all apprehensions
of misunderstanding upon the subject of the war be.
twain Terkey and Russia are removed. The statement
in respect to the occupation of the Mores by French
troops, and the perfect union of sentiment in the Allied
Powers with regard to Greece, is equally satisfactory;
for it is observed, that 44 a formal declaration, notified
to the Posse, has placed the Morel and the neighbour-
ing Islands under the protection of the Three Powers:.
This perfect understanding upon two important points
to calculated to give confidence to the French people,
and it bee, cake the prolongation of that more than or•
dietary tie which cements the interests of the leading
Powers. The recall of the. French troops from Spain,
tutors favourably for the tranquillity of that country,
and while the Speech holds oit hopes of obtaining a
just reparation from the lley of Atoutas, it intimates
his MAJESTY'S inteution to enforce it, if not to be
otherwise obtained.
A brief mention is made of. a 'convention with the
Emperor of BRAZILS in regard to the Blockade, but
the Speech is totally silent upon the Subject of Portugal.
It would appear that, like our own Government, the
French nere determined not to meddle with that ques-
tion in any way which should give advantage to either
of the conteneling parties:, or, if it be not so, that the
measures are secret. With respect to the internal ar-
rangements of France, although we are far from indif-
ferent, we have less ansiety ; but even those parts of
the See ch which relate to the domestic policy of France
afford no reason for displeasure. The patinae respect-
ing the liberty of the press is a little like making a merit
of necessitySbut, upon the whole,•tbe document must
be highly etntifyine to France, and indicative r f the
sale growing influence of the present Government of
England. The following is a copy of the Speech :
OPENING OF THE FRENCH CHAIIBERS. •
FAB'S, JAl.efire se.
To-day his Majesty opened the Session of the Chant-
ben in the Louvre.
Vier the usual preliminary ceremonies had been
gone through, and the Peen and 'Deputies had taken
their seats, his Majesty delivered the following Speech:
GENTLEUENI am happy in seeing you every
year assemble rounJ my throne, to promote, in
conceit with me, the great interests of my people. This
satisfaction is the more lively on the present occasion,
as I have pleasing communications to make to you, and
impottant labours vi entrust to you.
Sly relations with Foreign Powers continue to be
friendly. The assurances I receive from my Allies
offer me a pledge, that notwithstanding the events
which have desolated the East, peace will not be dis-
turbed in the test of Europe. To hasten thnpacifica-
tine of Greece, I have, in :concert with •England and
Russia, sent to the Norge a division of my troops. At
the sight of solhe thousand Frenchmen, determined to
accomplish their noble task, that celebrated country,
too long ravaged, has been restdred'to peace and secu-
city. Them, as at Navatin, the union of the lags has
proved to the world the respect of the Three Qua ns
for the faith of treaties ; and my soldiers take pleasure
in recounting the sincere support which they have
fond in the English navy.
°I A formal declaration, notified to the Porte, has
placed the Mom and the neighbouring Islands under
the Pniteetims of the Three Powers.
*This solirt act will suffice to render a prctracred
occupation tusekceseety._ I continue to assist the Greeks
to tebuildltheir %ins, 004 fig ships bring back to them
thous Christian staves mhos the pique generosity of
Fence his restated- to their gouges end to liberty.
!• So many cans will eeit prove vein: I have season
to believe that the Pate, more ealightetted, will ceioe
to oppose the Treaty of the .6th J4e old it may be
hoped that tint Sot atniitseinent will not be
.lost fur
the roestablishment of- pace in the Ilrast.
The situational /Amin has allowed me to recall the
troops which I haitleft for the disposal of his Catholic
Majesty; my Polders have returned to their. country,
after Inning Itemised from the 'inhabitants of all the
countries through which they have passed testimonies
of esteem and regret, due to their excellent discipline.
Considerable sums have been advanced to the Spanish
Government; a Conviction has just been signed to re-
gulate the repayment of them.
44 The hope which I Still retain of obtaining from the
Derof Algiers a just reparation, has retarded the men•
mires which I may be obliged to take in order to punish
bon ; but Isbell neglect nothing to protect the French
commerce from insult and piracy; and striking exam
pies have already taught the Algerines that it is neither
easy ter prudent inbeiseashivigilaoce of my naval forte.
Eop,tgeatent4 eatisietod by an ancient Fttoohl

Colony had ceased to bstexecuted. After having con-
vinced myself that this ie.:unties was the result of is-
abiiity,"l have consented fb open with it a mote Aka.
does isegociationlor thb inquests of the Colonies and'
of Commerce.
so Many of my subjects have suffered by the measures
taken by the Emperor of Brasil in his war with the Re-
public of Buenos 'Ayres ; some of their vessels have
been captured. The Convention which I have just ra •
tified, while it confirms, with respect to the right of
blockade, a conservatory principle always maintained
by France, insures to them the restitution of their pro.
petty, and an indemnity proportioned to their loss.—
On this occasion, as on all others, I owe praises to the
French Marine, enrich shows itself worthy of its noble
mission.
w The successive mocks which have agitated some of
the new States of Santis America have left the political
'imitation of those States uncertain, and rendered it ditfi
cult to form regular relati ns with them, The moment

is doubtless not far distant when I shall be able to give

to those relations a stability advantageous to my sub-
jects; meantime, I have appointed Consuls to watch
over their inters's. .
" Such, Gentlemen, is the happy state of our rela-
tions with Foreign Powers. Whatever may be the
events that the future resirves for us, I shall girt:Moly
k never forget that thealory. of France is slatted deposit;
and that the honourof 'being the goardiau of it is the
..
reboil prerogative of mylerOwn. .
" Order and peace 'peetritil fis the interior ; French
industry,. already so jusarepineciated. is daily dis-
tinguished by new improvements. Some breaches of
our agriculture and commerce;
ari su cries, but I
hope it will be possible foie we to *sets le ` eviti.. if I
should net be extabled,to cure it. The:loatmleiraesiCg
of the seasons, and the Unfevotsrable.slelapothieb the
harvest experienced, awakened for sore weeks the sod
licitude of my Goirernment. Di.treising doubts with
respect to the state of our resources hive beedspeeciily
dispelled by more positive information. The -actinic
tence of all is assured, and if the price.of corn, while it
augments the prosperity of the landholders, increases
for a moment the distress of the indigent, Pa..viDnicz-
has created beneficence to relieve those who surfer.
" The Pies., freed. from re.traints, enjoys entire
liberty. If licentiousness, its fatal enemy, still shows
itself under the cover of a generous and confiJing law,
public good sense, which becomes more film and en-
lightened, does justice to its aberrationit, and the Ma.
gistracy, faithful to its noble traditions, knows its du-
ties, and will always fulfil them. ,
" The necessity of placing the religion of out fathers
in security against any attack, to maintain in my king-

dom the execution of the laws, and at the same time
to etsuts among us the perretuity of the priesthood,
have induced me, after mature reflection, to presetibe
measures which I have felt to be necessary. These
measures have been executed with that prudent Sim.
ness which reconciles the obedience due to the laws, the
respect due to religion, and the just regards to which

its Ministers aistentithed.
" Communications will be made to you on the state
of our finances. You will be happy to learn that The
estimates of the revenue for 1828 have been exceeded.
This increasing prosperity has not relaxeJ the system
of economy in which my Government endeavours daily
to advance farther, without however forgetting that
useful expense is also economy.

Numerous labours will occupy the Session which
is opened to-day. Y.. 0 will have to discuss a Code
which is destined for the army. and deserves serious
attention. The law on the endowment of the Chamber
of Peers, and many other laws worthy of your whole
attention, will be presented t> you. A setious and im-
portant prOet will above all call for your solicitude. It
has been long since ackeowledged that there is a ne-
cessity for a new municipal depat tmental law, the whole
of which shall be in harmony with our institutions.
The most difficult questions are connected with this
organization. It ought to secure to the communes and
to the departments a just Share In the management of
hese interests; but it must at the same time preset ve
to the protecting and moderating.power which belongs
tto the Crown, the full siopelof'octioo and ince which'
,Public order requites. I lia've" caused i prilect which
will be presented to you, •to be prepared with e'er* i I
invite »II the meditations of your wisdom to this pro.
jeet, and 1 confide the discussion c f it to your love of
the public good and to your fidelity. •
" Every day gives me fresh proofs of the'affection of
my people, and enhances the sacredness of the oblige-
tiJnwhich I have contracted to dedicate myself to their
happiness. This noble task, which you, -Gentlemen.'
will assist me to fulfil, must daily become moreeasy.'
Erperience has dispelled the charm of insensate theories
Fr.nce, like yourselves, knows en what basis its hap-
pine.. reposes ; and those who should seek it any where
but in the sincere union of the royal authority and of
the liberties which the Charter has consecrated, would
be openly disowned by it.
" You, Gentlemen, are called upon to sender this
union more close and more solid. You will

this happy mission like faithful stibjects and loyal
Frenchmen, and your efforts will be eqoally certain of
the support of your King and of the public gratitude."

The news seems to be confirmed that the Turk-
passed the Danube at Turno, and repulsed a small
division of Russian infantry. It has been repotted foe
some days that the enemy intended to attempt the pas-
sage with a considerable force; but the want of sub.,
sistence and the condition of the toads render such an
attempt nest to impossible.
The garrison of Silistria, however, has been moth in-
creased within these three months; that of Giorgevo
has been reinforced by 5,000 men, and that of W,Jdi.
by 4.000. No alarm, however, is felt at Crajova.

orders to the Bank to sell 500.000 Sparish dollar, im-
