The King of France closed the session of the Chambers,
by a speech front the throne, on Thursday. He expressed much satisfaction at the.support which his Government had received ; and declared that the country was in a state of great prosperity, owing to the wisdom and firmness of their measures. He announced his intention of immediately reassembling them, in order to obtain a vote for the expenses of Government for the current year, which had hitherto been defrayed irregularly without the sanction of the Legislature. He stated his full expecta- tion that affairs in the East and also the Belgic question would be speedily and amicably settled. Both Chambers were convoked for the next day, by a Royal ordonnance published in the Moniteur of Thursday evening. The King was ex- tremely well received, and Paris was perfectly tranquil up to six o'clock on Thursday.
