OPENING OF THF. FRENCH CHAMBERS.
THE KING’S SPEECH.
The Morning Post lias just published, in a
cond edition, die subjoined copy of die speech of
his Majesty King Louis PhiUipueou opening the
French Chamliera yesterday. It has realized our
most sanguine expectations. It is firm in its
toue, as it ought to be—it breathes a parental so
licitude for tbo honor and dignity of France-—it
alludes to sacrifices mode to uphold that honor
imd dignity iu the face of Europe—and it expres
ses a willingness to make as many more os may
he required I or that purpose; but it isntdiesaine
lime decidedly pacific. No offensive allusion is
male to die conduct nftlie Four Powers, nor does
the King tako it for granted that any ecu which
may have simply for dieir object the restoration
of Syria to the Porte, can constitute grounds for
disturbing the peace of Europe.
Tho referreiices to the present condition of
8pain, balmy tbe anxiety of die French Govern
ment aw to the permaneuco of the throne of Hueeu
Isabella II. The greatest danger to that throne
will be interference on the part of France to up
hold it.
But from the whole tenor of this speech it is
clear that the Kiug and the Government enter-
» tain mnch stronger fears of the Four Powers. It
)s against the machinations of these disturbers of
dio tranquility of France that the Royal menaces
ere especially directed. And receut events have
sufficiently proved that to preserve order in Fnraee
strong measure* must be taken to put down these
raving Anarchists.
THE KING’S SPEECH.

the rank which she holds among nations, com

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON IN-
TERNAL1MPROVEMENTS.
This report fat short and sensible. It prtpt
that die Rail Road Conntflssioners irana new
bonds, in order to complete the W. & A. Road,
hearing an intarest of not exceeding seven per
cent, payable annuolly at some convenient point
in the State, or if paid iu Loudon, that they bear
tho' rate of 6$ per cent interest per annum. In
order to meet the payment ofthe interest due on
these bonds, tbe report recommends the impo-
•ition of a tax of $1 per head on each slave iu
the 8tateof f Gonrgia. over tho age of ten years
and under sixty, and $10 per head on every free
colored person in this State between the same
ages. It is presumed diat such a tax would a-
mount to $200,000 per annum, whioh would suf.
fice, besides paying the iutarest accruing on tha
debt to be incurred, to create a sinking fond for
the gradual redemption of the bonds in anticipa
tion, which fund the report presumes would
stamp these bond*.with a high value-

some good by collecting iu20 per cent, per an
num of her discounted notes,' which would
improvo the aspect of affairs, by absorbing nearly
a half milliou ofher circulation the first year.
But if, as recommended in die report, the note*
of the Central Bank are received in paytneut of
the taxes, what will be the result ? These notes
are now eta heavy discount; when the present
Legislature adjourns, $70,000 more of them will
go into circulation, and before the new tax law
could go into full operation, $J50,000 more of
them will be iseued. This will bring the notes
still lower, and then if taxes ore collected and
payment secured in notes of the Central Bank,
die object of which is to create a sinking fund,
and pay the interest on the bonds proposed to be
created, the consequence will be that ■ heavy *a.
orifice of 25 or 35 per cent must be made in or
der to convert those notes into bankable money.
When the annual interest falls due on the bond*
then, diere would lie but a poor *inking ( fund led,
and that too, subject to a constant depreciation,
so that capitalists would regard such a sinking,
fund with extreme distrust—and in truth it would
turn out to be a sinking fund in the truest sense
or the word, for tho Central-Bank h»s u way of
tithing all the fund* she gets held of.
There is but one way then to make the bonds
saleable, and dial is to make die sinking fund a
good one. This can be done by depositing die
taxes collected in bankeblo money in the good
banking Institutions in this State, subject to be
drawn out by draft* of the State Treasurer. For
these deposits, the various Institutions would
probably pay the State at the rate of 4 or 5 per
cent per annum, until such rime as the fund*
were wanted.
Tbe people of this State may depend upon it,
that a sinking fund composed of Central Bank
Notes, will frighten capitalists at once, and dm
State Bonds can never be sold unless the fund
created for their ultimate payment,be based upon
some prtpfr value.
Tbe truth is that the people of Georgia have to
atone for the supreme folly and wickedness of
squandering the public monies committed to die
Central Bank upon a limited number of bor
rower* who could be and will ere long be named,
mid die sootier she nerves herself up to repair
her great error the better for her. Let ut have
from die Central Bunk a list of the money bor
rowers including the names ofthe fictitious, de
funct, and exploded ones, and then the peo
ple of Georgia will see what lias becorao of
their mouey. Then she will see that compared
to the whole number ofher taxable inhabitants,
those who have borrowed her Central Bunk mo
ney are like n few sands upon the set shore,
compared with die whole mass. The cry is give!

bow much wiii he restored 1 Time will draw.—
Tbe people of Georgia must sooner or later wind

will run to Portsmouth, N. 11. instead of Boston,
during die winter, on account of the ire is con
tradicted. The rumor is supposed to have orig
inated in consequence of Air. C. having placed
a few hundred tons of coal at Portsmoudi.iu case
it should bo necessary to put into that port, a pre
caution highly commendatory.
In case these ships should be compelled to put

Chmch on Thurs
day dveninj last, was wry numerously attended,
Indeed*we do not lit Ibis moment recollect an
occasion on which them was snob a respectable
attendance uf shipmasters and sailors,hut It was a
sosrc# of Ngret as ietll as tuffriu, that so fow of
our citiaena ware present. We looked in vain
fbr a single merchant in tho assembly. It is vary
strange, tlut there should prevail in thUcmnmu<
nity, »o much indifference in regard to sremto.—
Is not the mercantile community deeply interes
ted in any schema whfch proposes the reforms

combination of circumstances, whioh operate iu
this port to the disadvantage ofthe sailor, aa well
as to the Injury of meAas/di iauratt f Thera is
but one answer to them questions. Merchants

the amelioration of the isilora condition, and they
almost daily are profited with oonvincjpg evi*
deuce that thoir interest are put in jeopardy by
the difficulty experienced in,obtaining crewe.—
This state of things might be changed ifour mer
chants could ba induced to go heartily into tho
work. To consider ^io condition and claims of
seamen, was the otject of the above meeting.
Alter singing that beautiful hymn beginning with
" From Greenlsnd't icy mountains,”
and prayer, Joseph George, Esq. was requested
to preside. After some appropriate remarks in
dicating the kindly feeling 1 * of his heart towards
the tailor, tho Ckainnak railed upon Francis Bar
tow, Esq. to ndl^es* tha mooting. This gentle
man promptly fispoadeJ to the call. It was die
first timo that we had the pleasure ol hearing this
gifted young oralor, nud we do not exagernto,
when we declare tbit, we cannot describe dis
bursts of eloquence, with which ho advocated die
•ailnr’a cause. Ho gave a glowing description
of dieir periiot* nv oration—fimir generosity and
frankness—their simplicity and their bravery.—
Whilst he did tot attemptto justify their reckless
ness, he sliowct diat diere might possibly be some
palliation for iheir irregularities. Necessarily
leaving home biforo their personal habits or prin
ciples are forued, the changeableness of their
Vila, and die fliutuatmg character of every thing
around lliem, de orator insisted that these were
circumstances ii which, if the sailor was consider*
ed, some npohgy might be made for hi* prover
bial vices, and toncloded by expressing his opin*
ion that the tine would soon arrive, when by
menus of the haievoicnt and scientific instutions
of die day, die tailor would take his proper sta
tion in society.
We never listraed to a more eloquent and ap
propriate addre«, and we doubt not, but that
many who heard it, will find it difficult to efface
it from their nicuory. Savannah h*a reasons to
congratulate he we If when aim can point to such
young men ds Air. Bartow, and say *• this ia one
of my sons.”
The next gcntlcmin called upon, was Dr. Ste
ven*. Thisgonilerntn has always been distin
guished for the lively interest he takes in the sai
lor's welfare,nod Trout his var y intimate acquaint
ance with their clmrncier and habits, having spent
many years among then in the East Indies, Eng
land and die United Sfetes, there was an evident
manifestation of pleasure, on the part of tho au
dience when he nrose mal^p his address. Dr,
Stevens’manner is different from that of Air.
Bartow, but not less persuasive and convincing.
He commenced by sajing.that to know sailors
properly we must see them on shipboard. He
directed the attention if hi* audience to many
tliilling fuels, which hai occurred among sailors
under his owu ohstrtatitn. Ho was justly severe
upon a class of men .who live by imposidous
practiced upon the milot.
The Doctor cooc/uded Ms' benuiifii! address,
by showing that tie only possible method to bet
ter the condition |>f seamen, was to give them
the BiUe, which ll represented as the pole star
hy which the iilor should steer his course
through life, Wl venture the assertion, that no
individual heard Pr. Stevens but foil that sailors
had a pointful cliira.tipon Christian sympathy.
Aliei Dr. Steven^ bad finished his remarks, die
meeting was closfcd with singing and the Bene
diction.
Alessrs Editors, while on this subject, permit
me to call die atteition ofthe liberal Aleichants
of this city to theptopriety of establishing a res
pectable Boarding House for seamen. Why
should Savannah Im die only considerable sea
port in tho United States, where provision is not
made for the protection uf seamen from the land
robber that prowls about his path ? In Pordand,
Boston, New-Yoik, Philadelphia and Charles
ton, good sailor tnarding houses have been es
tablished under thi direction of pious men. in
which no ardent spirits are sold, and where libra
ries and reading rooms are prepared, so that the
seaman just returied from the perils of a long
vopgo finds himstlfcomfortiibly accommodated
and surrounded ty circumstances favorable to
morality. The msst eminent merchants in odier
places encourage|these houses, and speak highly
of their utility, we were yesterday thrown ac
cidently into the <omp*nyof*ix ofour most res
pectable nnd popilnr shipmasters, nnd there was
u diversity of sentiment expressed rs to the most
proper methods to reform sailors, all concurred
in the opinion, Itavever.tbat the establishment of
a good boarding house was absolutely necessary.
Merchants of flivannoh, coino forward to this
work, we know tlul there are various calls made
upon you—agentapf colleges and benevolent ii
aiiutrion* are sura tp meet with success when ap
plication is made to you; refuse not to give a
small part ofyour treasures to this work of char
ity, nnd it will be sufficient to commence the
work. A FRIEND. OF SEAMEN.

THE LEGISLATURE.
Correspondence of tho Augusta Constitutionalist.
M1LLEDGEV1LLE, Nov. 26,1840.
I closed my letter of yesterday while Mr.Gon*
der wns speaking on the resolutions introduced,
in regard to a national bank, sub-treasury, and
currency. After this gentleman had concinded
hi* speech, Henley, nf Rabun, moved that all
those resolutions be Inid nn the table for there-
mnindcr of the session. After a short conversa
tion between some of the members, and a motion
to adjourn was negatived, Mr. Henley withdrew
his motion, & on motion, the order ofthe day was
suspended, and the conrideratiett of tha business
then before the Senntawn* postponed to the next
ite then proceeded to some other
r mad* an i
on (Wcoftat, vaveral of
OnTlia fttrivM ’of the British fproe, tin Chh
nest made a desperately ridiculous attempt to
bimi tha vessel* by rending In among them eigh»
teen fire raftstoottairueted uf old outside fishing
bools nnd soma cargo boats, chained t
two nnd two and fitted wiUt combustible
of all descriptions. They were set
Uta wind and tide, but bof
iJaiiMge, the aailori l>om '* ‘ J * '
session and towed litem asnorv.
On Um 25th of June, the greater part nf the
British fleet and transports sailed “ to tha north,"
aawas supposed, for the Yellow Sea. The Amer
icana were all preparing to laava Canton. For-
eigu ships wonldbe allotted to depart unleia de
tained hy the Chinese.
A correspondent of the Journal of Commerce,
undet date of tha 22d of Juno' says—Nothing la
known nf the intentions ol the English govern
ment, but it la conjectured Dial Canton will not
bo attacked) tlmt iho Bogus forte wilt be taken pos
session of, nnd the river blockaded; and the force
then move immediately to the north. If they
S o to Pekin at nneo, they will bo unsuccessful;
to probability is (bat they will take possession of
Cliussn, or some similar position, and operate
IVom thence on such points as seem to offer Uie
best chance of distressing Um Chinese without
great loss of life. These probably are Uio mouths
uf tha great rivers, uud particularly the junction
ofUio grand canal with them. Thera are parlies
who believe this will bo suffieient; but to me it
seems wholly inadequate to Uie end proposed;
which as I have often written, is virtually to rev
olutionize this immense emprie. Such a result
tuay be brought about, but only I think by a sys
tem orintimidstaion.&sncli a show of force os shall
convince the Chinese that resistance is wholly
useless,. Till*m»y be effected without difficulty,
by o resolute powen for the great cities of Chi
na, on the coast, era wholly defenceless, thoir
forts oiery where dilapidated, and Uieir arms,
matchlocks and bows nnd arrows! But the fenr
is Uiat the English will be contented wiUi too lit
tle, nnd that limy will not take proper steps to se
cure even this permanently; but a few.dnys may
enable-us to forma better opinion of what is to
be doue hereabouts.
Meanwhile Uie Americans are leaving Canton)
almost ull their ships are out of the river, and
their property for Uie most part safe. We have
to-day many reports in circulation which may
not all be true; Uiat a reward of $25,000 will be
paid to any one blowing up the •• Wellesley,”
und in proportion for the other moil of war; that
a price Ims been set on the heads of some of Uie
English merchants s and Uiat Uie Americans have
been ordered to leave Canton in five day*! It is
impossible to believe this. Our last accounts
from the United States are to 23d February, from
England to 4Ut March; but we are looking every
moment for lira April overland wait. Tbe nows
it brings however cannot be of mnch importance.
The slock of tea is exhausted, and but little Nan
kin silk remains. After all Uie export of tea to
England will amount to thirty millions pounds!
ten millions more Uian was confidently predicted.
We think there is every reason to anticipate a
long interruption in the trade, from six to eigh
teen months, (and it appears to us tliat parties
with you will be nfo hi acting on this calcula
tion.) The opium trade, the cause nf our pre
sent troubles proximately, so far from being
checked by the measures of Lin, was never more
flourishing.
