The French Chambers were opened
on the 3lst Of July, by the King in per-
son. Fom the royal speech the situa-
ton of the kingdom is tranquil and pros
perous,. The three grand days passed
over in Paris without any very remarka-
BILE event. A battalion OF National
Guards refused to appear at the review
owning to some dissenlion which existed
between the Colonel, nj. de st Leon,
natural son Of Napoleon, and his superior
officer. The fetes Of July were confined
to two days, the 28th and %. The only

proposed on the third clause a reduction
Of forty per cent in tithe composition
| or two fihs Of the whole value of thd
composition, which was carried agains
Government by majority of 80 to 83.

is to extinguish f268 900 of the amount
The present value of Irish tthes, by the
last returns, is about f668, 900, and II is
now, therefore, reduced to 4CO OOO!-

ond amendment of Mr. O'Connell, exon
Grating all tenants or occupieys of land in
Ireland, from the payment Of any tithes
whatever, and to compel the landlords I'd
