London, Nov. 6, (evening.) —The Moi'ii ing Post lias just published, in a second edi tion, the subjoined copy of the speech of his Majesty King Louis Phillipnc on opening the Frencli.Chambers yesterday. • If has rc nlized our most sanguine expectations. It is firm in its tone, ns it ought to be—it breathes a parental solicitude for the honor and dignity of France—it alludes to sacri fices made to uphold that honor and dignity in the face of Europe—and it expresses a willingness to make, as many more "as may be required for that*purpose; but it is at the same time decidedly pacific. No offensive allusion is made to the! conduct of the Four Powers, nor does the. King take it for grant ed that any acts which may have simply lor their object the restoration of Syria to the Porte, can constitute grounds fur disturbing the peace of Europe. The reference to the present condition of Spain, betrays the anxiety of the French Government as to the permanance of the throne of Queen Isabella 11, The greatest danger to tnat tilrtme wili be interference on the part of France to’ uphold if. Hut from the- whole tenor of the’ speech it is clear that the King and the Government entertain much stronger fearsr pf the" Anar chists and Revolutionist's at home titan of the Four Powers. * It is againsUhe machinations of 1 these disturbers of. life - tranquility- of France that the Royal menaces are especi ally directed. .And recent events have suf ficiently proved that,-to preserve order in France, strong measures must be taken to jiut down these raving Anarchists.

In persevering ill this moderated and conciliatory policy, of which we have-reaped the fruit for the last ten j'ears, I have placed France in a position to face the chances which the course of events in the East may produce. The extra ordinary credits Which have been opened with Ibis intention will be submitted, to you, and you will appreciate the motives of theni. 1 continue to hope that the general peace will not be disturbed. It is necessary for the general common interests of Europe, the happiness of its population, and the progress of civilization.

Those persons who have heard the extrav agant promises of the whigs before the elec tion, may well ask themselves the above question.

Of'have they been made only, to deceive the people and “bou'gh ’em all round.

Already some of their most prominent men begin to eulogise the Hartford- Convention, and defend the principles'bf the gag law of John-Adams.— Already they have hushed their outcry about the pretended extravagance of Martin-Van Bureu. They see the difficult position in which their, groundless clamors have 'placed (hem, and the moment they have grasped 1 the reins of Government, will seek to violate all their pledges to the people. - Freemen look Ip (hem!
