.s The speech Of the king olFrance, upon open
ing the session OF the French chambers on Tues
day, was na,u ally looked 10 with ONE anxiety at

ehsbel, by publishing third clifton, TO give, 10
considerable portion of our Impression, rho,e pas

sc His Most Christian Majesty Informs us in the
first instance, that he continues to receive from all
Foreign Governments assurances of the most am
liable kind; he tells Us, his own incnations are
equally strong for the maintenance CT PEACE; and
allidins to The Peninsula, tho only quarter in
which the aspect of political affairs is threatening
he says, he shall unite his efforts with those of his
sllies, TO avert the consequences which threaten
10 result from the conduct of Ferdinand. Here
are plain words, TO which plain meaning may be
attached. Bat we shall be told, perhap,, they are
not sincere; that they only meant to delude
hat their object is, to lulI suspicion asleep
This is ,rte mode Of argument. When we
cannot confute, it is easy to turn a scepiic when
ue will not the meaning that lies upon the
surface, what remains but TO insist that there is
another meaning concealed from US,
" Aiilsion has been made TO the concluding
paragraph Of the king OF Frances speech where
his naissty talks OF the Svarke Virtues of Ff,nce
and anticipates, that, should occasion call for il
those virtues will slime with as much lusire as
heretofore What does this Prove, we ask but the
sincerity Of the declaration previously IN de that
his most christian majesty would unite bis efforts
with those OF his allies, prevent disastrous con-
sequences in the peninsula, should Spain mady
perseYere in her present cpurseI II has been sig
nificantIy bincl that this same paragraph was cd.
del to the speech, upon receiving intelligence of
the military demonstrations made by this Country.
This is not iinprobltle; and, cone eding this, we
only slrenglhen view of is bearing, inasmuch
as il demonstrates tue prompiitude with which
Charles X pledges himself to cordial co operas
lion viii this country in the field, ii necessary, as
well rs in tbe cabinet
so far as mere matter or reasoning But slron
ger ground remains 10 rs We state without fear
az contradiction that the policy Of France is paci
&c: that neither our government nor tho Fieach
government entertain the most remote idea OF any
event arising which can disturb The existing fela-
lions o. alter the existing understanding upon the
q le.tion 81 Portugal; that the plecen.ionafy mes-
sure Of sending t'oOPs 10 that country has been
sdop' ed, win tie strongest persuasion to its
rscific Conscience; and that no apprelen~oas
felt that his contemplated result VIII he sls-
fed by eyels. The whole Tenor, indeed, Of Mr..
canning's speech, as vel as Of The message on
which It was founded IS to Ibis egs,t. Tie poll
cy of England, ia the course she has resolved up
on. had two Objects in view: The ffsi ADD most
Urgent, TO avert hostilities, by showing we were
prepared for them; the second, to shew that Is @
hplJ national faith and national honor paramount
10 All other considerations.
