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. Gentlemen, Peers and Deputies.

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- The plan of creating a oinking fund cannot be too highly commended, hut wo ore disposed to Vice-President, as counted by the Governor and * HarrisoU. .

Four Slates to ho heard from. 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.

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.

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.

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.)
