SutuQ0nS OF winch II is my nrn desire 10 eSta-
blish the blessings. The Charter has placed the
liberties of the people under the safeguard of the
rights of my crown. These rights are sacFed:
my duty to my people requires me to transmit
them inviolate to my successors.
Peers of France, Deputies of Departments,
doubt not of your cooperation in effecting the
desired good You will reject, with contempt,
the base insinuations which malice endeavors to
propagate Should criminal practices raise up
against nv government obstacles which cannot
and wish not to foresee, should find strength 70
surmount them in my resolution to maintain pub
lie peace, in the just confidence of Frenchmen,
and in the love which they have always shown
for their Kings

who had not taken it, the Chancellor reading the
formula, and each Peer. standing in his place,
saving at the conclusion. '.Je le jure." The
Deputies elected since the last session were
sworn in ike manner. and the Chancellor declar-
ed, by order of the King, that the Chamber of
Peers and Chamber of Deputies for 1880 was
duly opened, and that each was invited to assem-
bic in its appropriate hall the next day at noon
The King was conducted with loud acclamation
to the reception room, and second salvO of ar
tillery announced mis- return to the TuillerieS.
The number of Deputies who appeared at the
opening of the Chambers was about 500. NJ. de
Talleyrand is said To be much broken down, and
to look very old. NJ. de PoliSnac's hair is said
to be beginning to turn white. His attitude was
modest and almost humble, and he is described
as having scarcely ventured to cast his ewes on
the side where the Deputies sat- 1t was Observ-
ed, that Messrs. RayeZ and Labourdonnaye.
Peers newly created, did not answer the call, and
were not sworn. 1t is remarked that the Gazette
de France of the Cd, which contains the Kings
speech, omits the words (ayec mepris) :. with
contempt" used by the King in the first part of
the last paragraph of his speech.
1t is said the Constitutional Deputies were to
hold caucus OH the evening of the cd, in the
RE de Richeiieu, to nominate President. Ro-
yer COllard, Caslmic Perier, General SebaStiana,
and Dupin. were spoken Of as candidates. They
would also. it was thought, take up the speech
from the throne. the last sentences of which, it
was supposed. Ministers would be called upon to
explain particular y the perfidious insnua-

VI. Peyronnet was supposed to be the author Of
the last phrases. and Nj. Beugnot to have COM
posed the rest of the discourse.

Cabinet, which are probably entitled to little at
tention.

FROM ENGLISH PAPERS.
STATE of the COlpltrY.-in the House of Lords
on the 18th of February. the Earl of Stanhope
brought forward motion, of which he had given
notice. that the House should go into committee
of the whole to take into consideration the inter-
nal affairs of the nation. He accompanied his
motion with long speech, which produced but
little impression, as it was lost by a vote of ll8
to SIS. The Duke of Wellington, in the course Of
the debate. repealed a. unjust the reproaches
against the Government for being indifferent TO
the public distress. He stated that the agrlcul-
tural interest was not suffering alone, and that
the fall of rents and in the value OF agricultural
products was small. in comparison with the los
ses experienced in manufactures, commerce, and
the mercantile marine. The Courier is in rap
lures with the Dukes speech, respecting which
it holds the following language:
:. The reply of the First Lord of the Treasury
is direct and most triumphant contrast 10 the

whose glorious life was spent in camps and courts
the man who restored the dropping laurels OF
England to more than their pristine luxurlance-
the man who has asserted the honor OF his coun-

before the assembled ma jesty OF Continental Eu-

of our national industry"
Lord Goderch admitted the prevalence of great
distress. but denied that the noble Lords motion
was the best mode of seeking remedy for it
On the contrary, he would prefer, going to work
at once. and reducing taxation. Looking at the
surplus revenue, and the late reduction in the es-
Inmates for the national expenditure, he thought
