VIENNA, May 81.

Negotiations are spoken of which will be
opened at Vienna. soon after the conclusion
of peat with France, these negotiations
are TO receive the formal accession of all the
powers, and of the princes who are inter
ested in them, and they will have for their
object the arrangements whi-h springs from
the particular treaties existing with each of
these powers. Thus Europe has the per-
spective of long peace founded on the guar.
anty Of the equilibrium Of the Eur.p ean
states.
On the 18th of June the king of France met
the Senate and Legislative body, accompa-
MED with the grand officers and dignitaries
Of the kingdom, and made the following
speech.
Gentlemen,
When for the first time come
within these walls, surrounded by the grand
bodies of state, the representatives of ma.
tion which is prodigal in the affecting de.
monstrations Of its love to me. E .icitate

the blessings which il has pleased Provis
dence to grant to my people.
have made treaty of peace with Aus
tria, Russia, England and Prussia, In which
their allies are included, Wig. all the Prince.
of Christendom. The war was universal, the
reconciliation is equally so.
The rank which France always occupies
among nations is not transferred to any o.
ther, and it re mains without division. All
the security which the other powers have
acquired equally increases hers and con.
seduentIy adds to her real power.--The fail
ing to preserve our conquests therefore
ought not to be regarded as a retrenchment
oil our real soil.
The glory Of the French arms has re
ceived no diminution. The monuments of
their valour still remain, and the m ster pie
ces of the arts belong to us henceforth by
rights more stable than those of victory.
A distressing recollection always disturbs
my JOY.
I battered myself that was born TO re-
main for life faithful subject Of the best of
kings; and this day occupy his place. But
he is not wholly dead. He lives again in
that testament which he destined for the in
