PARIS, Fss. t.
The Eichange to day was greatly agitated.. The
rumour of .the resignation of MM. Portalis and Roy,
continued all the morning; even the circumstances and
causes of their resignations wore detailed, If certain
persons were to be believed, M. de.laTerionaye had
followed his noble colleagues in. their *resolution to to
tire horn public business. This news produced a power 7
ful effect on, the funds, and in spite of the numerous
purchases made to cay, the price remained for the first
hour at .t.tie blest quotation of yesterday, 69t. Se.—
About half-past three, however, a contrary rumour was
spread abroad, that the resignations had not been ac-
cepted, and that'. the King had ordered them to retain
their situations. On this news spreatfink, the funds rose
at once nearly a franc. The speculators...were (ware
that the retreat of the three resigning Ministers would
produce a dissolution of the Cabinet. and that the
Crown must, in consequence, meet the Chambers wi• h-
out having under it the guarantee of a responsible
Ministry. • •

FROM TOE JOURNAL DES-DREATS 01 SATURDAY.
. PAM Fm. sr.
The last Speech of the King of England is almost
unexampled in the annals of that country, since liberty
has been regulated by.the Bill of Rights, and the limits
of the three Powers have been Ss d. The Speech is
calculated to disturb Europe, if Europe took it to the
letter. We easily recognise the work of a Minister who
does not know the institutions of his country, who, bred
in camps, is little favourable to the Blowy of the people—
who, having passed his lite out of Greet Britaio, has
been accastomed in India to despotism, on the. European
Continent to the measures of absolute gOverri•oeni s—
of a Minister the former oilponent of Mr. Canning; and
who is proud of following a 'course diametrically °pro-
site to thit of a true Statesman. It was that Fii st Lord
of the Treasury whose influence in 1815 placed a regi-
cide in the Council of Louis XVIII.
England repudiates one of the noblest naval victories.
al England had destroyed a French fleet, these could not
have been sufficient palms found for Cod:intim ; but as
he, by the assistance of the white flag, destroyed that of
the barbarians, did we ever see so " untoward" an event?
Escesses. revolting to humanity, have been corn-
m!tedboth by Tui ks and Greeks."
A stisall people decimated, crushed-for four centuries.
at length breaks its chains. They have seen their old men,
their wives, their children, butchered before their eyes ;
they have seen their temples,polloted. their daughters
dragged to the presti;ution„of tbe".Harein ; they hue
seen their country laid ware ;• in the -eiasperatien of
its grief; in the agitation ()lies despaiO,lt has immo-
lated some of its oppiessors.: and yow compare, these,
" excesses," to those of former .centiories. You thy'
confound the oppressor with, the oppressed ; the wean
with the strong ; the freenian with the tyrant; the victim
with the eaccuttoner. These poor Turks!, for five or six
years they Kaye only inordered a million of Christians.
Athens go longer exists—the Merei is deserted. What
good peepie are these Arabs and negroes, and what
doeare these Greeks! "These poor Turks are the
oncHent A,liies of England r
A PXiMo Isfaister Ahouid knew better facts, histpri..
and treaties. Foance has bad treaties with the Sultans
up to the time of Francis I. Her navy alone reigned,
by Ole powers granted, in all the treaties, in the Medi-
terranean. But England did not form its direct alliance
with the. Porta till after the battle of Aboukir.' A Prime.
Minister should know these things: he might have
learned them from the late Secretary of Legation in thel
Office of Downing-street.
How will this speech be received on the banks of the'
Neva? It contains at once a threat to St. Petersburgh,
apd a feeling of fear of the arms of Nicholas. And what
shall we do? Shall we older Admiral de Rigny to re-
turn to Toulon, or shall we prepare soldiers for Greece?
How will it dispose the Porte towards the conclusion
of that peace of which it still affects to speak? Mah-
mond will hope by patienCeand time to exterminate the
Greeks; and will think himself safe, and Will be right,
unless Russia, taking their part, should sign the deli-.
verance Greece, under-the walls.of,Clonstantinople;

UKITARIA6B;
Mr. J. SMITH rose to' resent a Petition from the
Unitarians of the parish of Hackney, in the .county
Middlesex, praying for a' repeal bf thvTest and Corpba•
'ration Acts. The Honk Gentleman said he was bound;
in presenting this Petition, to observe that those by
whoin it was signed comprised within" their numbers
individualrof talent, of wealth; and of moral excellence,
inferior to no class of the community in-this greatine-
*opolis. The length of the Petition alone prevented
him from demanding that it. should :the-read; for it
stated' the case of the Petiticrnits in a manner so clear
and so impressive, that few could hear it without ac-
ceding at once to its truth and justice. On this occasion
be-wished to say one or two words with respect to the
conduct of the-Dissenters. It had been: publicly
in the newspapers, this that- body had-combined with.
the Roman Cathulics to obtairitheir,mutual aights.—

senters had done no such.thing—(Hear, hear); and-if
r‘tny Gentleman felt a doubt on the subject, .he had
'within his power the -means of dispelling that Gentle.:
man's doubt on the -moment—(Heat, hear). -An united
Commiveehad been appointed to look after the.affairs
of-the Disse.iiieer, and that. Committee, he could say,
