LONDON: SUNDAY, DECEMBER 13,1818. ' SPEECH OF THE ICING OF FRANCE TO THE CHAMBERS. •nn 1 Ws yesterday rectified ituPt of the speech delivered by the King, at the opening of gallon on Thursday last: 1 of the last Session, 'at. The sem, time, that I deplored the evils which *Meted our country, I had the satisfaction to give reason to consider the termination of theta m near at hand. A generous effort, and of which I have the the. noble pride to may, no other nation has afforded a fairer example, has enabled me to realise these hopes ; and they are so. My troupe alone occupy all our strong places; one of my sons, who hastened to join in the first transports of joy of our eastern provinces, has with his own hands, and amidst the acclamations of my people, hoisted the French standard on the ramparts of Thionville ; this standard new floats on all the territory of France " The day on which those of my children, who have borne with so much 'courage the burden of an occupa pation of more than three years, have been delivered from it, will be owe of the finest days of my life ; and my French heart bus enjoyed no less the end of their distresses tl.an the liberation of the country. The provinces which have so painfully occupied my thoughts till this deserve to flx ca.se of the nation, which h as a dmired, lug I 1.1 0/c done, their heroic resignation. " m'ty of hcart and of 3,ntimows, NATIOTIAt which yon'sarnifested, when Palled titiott you for the means to ' fulfil our engagements, was a brilliant proof of the attachment of the French to their country, of the coallenee of the nation in its King ; and Europe has eagerly received France, replaced in the rank which belongs to ber. " The declaration which announces to the world, the principles on which the union of the five Powers is founded, sufficiently shows the friendship which pre vails among the Sovereigns. This salutary union, dic tated by justice and consolidated by morality and re ligion, has for its object to prevent the scourge of war, by the mAintenance of treaties, by. the guarantee of existing sights, and permits us to fix our eyes on the long days of peace, which such an alliance promises to Europe. " I have awaited in silence this happy epoch, to turn my thoughts to the national solemnity, in which religion consecrates the intimate union of the people with their King. When receiving the Royal function in the midst of you, I shall take too witness the God by whom Kings reign, the God of Clovis, of Charle magne, of St. Louis; I shall renew at the altar, the oath, to confirm the institutions founded on that Charter, which I cherish more, sines the French, by a unanimous sentiment, have frankly rallied round it. "In the laws which will he proposed to you, I shall take care that its spirit shall be always consulted, in order to secure more and more the public rights of the French, and to preserve to the Monarchy the force which it must have to preserve all the liberties which are dear to my people. " In seconding my wishes and my efforts, you will not forget, Gentlemen, that this Charter, delivering France from despotism, has put an end to revolutions. I depend en your concurrence to repel those pernicious principles which, under the mask of liberty, attack social order, conduct, by anarchy, to absolute power, and whose fatal success has cost the world so much Wood and so many tears. "My Ministers will lay before you the Budget of the expences, which the public service requires. The protracted effects of events, the coneequehees of which we have been found to bear or accept, have not yet al lowed me to propose to you, a dimunition of the bur. dens imposed upon my pow*: but I have the consola tion to perceive, at no great distance, the moment when I shall be able to satisfy this desire of my heart. Prom this moment a limit is fixed to the increase of our debt ; we have the certainty that it will diminish in a rapid progression.—This certainty, and the loyalty of France, in the fulfilment of her engagements, will es tallish on an immovable foundation the public credit, which some transitory circumstances, common to other States, had seemed to Affect for a moment. " The French youth have just given a noble proof of the love to their country and their King. The Re cruiting Law his been executed with submission, and often with joy. While the young soldiers enter the ranks of the army, their brothers, who are released, remain in the bosom of their families ; and the veterans, who have fulfilled their engagements, return to their homes; they axe both living examples of the fidelity, henceforth inviolable, in emaciating the laws. " After the calamities of a scarcity, the remembrance of which still affects my seul, Providence this year, lavish of its benefits, has coveresiour fields with abun dant harvests. They will serve to revive commerce, whose vessels visit every sea, and shew the French fag to the most remote nations. Industry and the arts, also extending their empire, will add to the sweets of general peace. To the independence of the country, to public liberty is added private liberty, which France has never so entirely enjoyed. Let us, thereibre, unite our sentiments, and our expressions of gratitude to the Aut'hor of so many blessings, and let us know bow to render them durable. They will be so, if ban ishing every sad remembrance. and stilling every resentment, the French thoroughly persuade themselves, that their liberties are inseparable from order, which itself rests upon the Throne, their sole palladium. My duty is to defend them against their common enemies; I shall fulfil it, and I shall find in you, Gentlemen, that sup port, which I have never yet invoked in vain." The Moniteur of Tuesday last contains the Royal ordinance, appointing M. Roy Secretary of State fur the Finance departwent. A second ordinance follows, by virtue of which Count Corvetto, in consideration of the services which he has rendered to thu Monarchy, is named a Minister of State, and a member of the Privy Council. A subsequent paragraph announces that this ex-Minister is so much indisposed as to be con k.*, to hi bed. nfiCtrk3 Spanish Government Giketidahlitd letters from Ma drid, have arrived to the 25th ult..

There had been no•fresh,:arrivais from South A merica, and the inhabitants .were 40:ise quentir without any intelligence relative• to the state of the Airs of the insurgents.

He erected his escape by bribing seven or eight seapoys of his escort, who went off with him. One of thorn had been retaken, anti was put in irons. From him it was learnt that. the Rajah, in his flight, had assumed ;he disguise of a seapoy. Much impor. taucc seems to be attached to the repossession of the Rajah's person, as it is said a reward of two laeks of rupees, and a pension of 10,000 rupees had been offered for his appreheasion. Friday Mr. Planta, Under Secretary of State for the Foreign Department, arrived in London,.accom panied by Mr. Parish, from Aix-la-Chapelle.

Most of the Presbyteries throughout Scotland ha►e appointed a Day of Thanksgiving in their respective bounds, for the late plentiful harvest. Manchester and Glasgow are making rapid strides towards rivalling the East Indies iu the manufacture of cotton and silk.
