TUESDAY, AUGUST 10 We are so anxious to lay before our Readers every atom of intelligence that we can, in our limited time, compress into our columns, on the important scenes now acting in France, that we have left ourselves to-day but a small space for observation. The intelligence from France, which is now looked for by the politician with the most anxiety, is that which will develope how the allied Courts of Europe may conduct themselves on the present change of dynasty in France. Probably notice of their views may soon be expected to be elicited, through their Ambassadors at Paris. We can not believe it possible, that any of the great Continental Powers will show any hostile feeling on the occasion. The experience of the former attempt, to interfere in the inter nal concerns of France,was so singularly productive of mis chief—mischief from which the world has not yet recovered, that it is hardly credible, experience will be so completely set at defiance, as to allow the Government of any State, to destroy their own, and the general tranquillity of Europe, by attempts of such a truly Quixotic character. —At the commencement of the French war, CHARLES Fox, in his animated letter to his constituents, accused of Quixotism the then attempt to restrain the spirit of the French nation ; but surely circumstances now are much less favourable for accomplishing any rival object in hostility to France, and we cannot believe any such hostility exists, or will arise. In the Chamber of Deputies, in Paris, on the evening of the 7th, M. Ban Ann declared that, in pursuance of the wishes, and in furtherance of the interests of the French people, the preamble and the following articles of the constitutional charter, (that is 21 out of 74 which are enumerated,) ought to be suppressed or modified. Some of these are rather sweepers—for instance — Art. 6. The Catholic Apostolic, and Roman religion, is the religion of the State.—To be suppressed. Art. 28. The Peers are only admitted into the Cham ber when they have completed the twenty-fifth year of their age ; and they have not a deliberative voice until thirty. Cha'ge proposed.—" The Peers are admitted into the Chamber, and have a deliberative voice, when they have completed the twenty-fifth year of their age." Art. 31. The Princes cannot sit in the Chamber, ex cept by the King's command, expressed each Session by a Message, upon pain of all that has been done in their presence being null and void.—Proposed to be sup pressed. Art. 32. All the deliberations of the Chamber of Peers shall be secret. Change proposed—" The sittings of the Chamber of Peers are public. But the demand of five members shall suffice for it to resolve itself into a Secret Committee." Art. 41. The Presidents of the Electoral Colleges shall be nominated by the King. and one by eight members of the College. Change proposed.—" The Presidents of the Electoral Colleges are nominated by the Electors." Art. 43. The President of the Chamber of Deputies is nominated by the King, out of a list of five members pre sented by the Chamber. Change proposed :—" The 'President of the Chamber of Deputies is elected by the Chamber. He is elected for the whole duration of the Legislature." Art. 56. Ministers can onlybe impasched for the fact of treason or peculation. Speciellevisshall define this nature of misdemeanour, and shall determine the proseeu-1 tion thereof. SuppreibidtptSposed. Art. 74. The King and his successors shall swear, at the solemnity of their coronet:mu, to observe faithfully the present Constitutional Charter. Change proposed— " The .King and his successors, shall swear at their accession to observe faithfully the present Constitutional Charter." The present Charter and the rights it consecrates, shall 1 be entrusted to the patriotism and courage of the National Guards and all the citizens. The Chamber of Deputies declare finally, that it is necessary to provide by successive and separate laws, and with the shortest delay possible, let. For the extension of the trial by jury to misdemeanours, and particularly those of the press. 2d. For the responsibility of Minis ters and the secondary agents of Government. 3d. For the re-election of deputies appointed to public functions. 4th. For the annual voting of the Army Estimates. sth. For the organization of the National Guards, and for their electing their own Officers. Gth. For a mi litary code, insuring in a legal manner, the situ ation of officers of all ranks. 7th. For the De- partmental and Municipal Administration, with the in tervention of the citizens in their nomination. Bth. For public instruction and the freedom of tuition. 9th. For the abolition of the double vote, and for fixing the quali fication for Electors and Deputies. Consequently, that his Royal Highness be invited to accept and swear to fulfil the above clauses and engagements, and the obser vance of the Constitutional Charter, with the modifica tions above pointed out ; and having done so, to assume the title of King of the French. M. MAT 111 EU DUMAS proposed the appointment of a special committee, to ex amine and report upon the proposition of M. BERARD.- M. ETIEN NE seconded the motion.—Adjourned. The whole of the above important alterations in the Articles of the Charter, made by M. BE RA RD, were car ried by ballot—A majority of 219 against 33. The de bate in the Chambers was a most important one, as you will see—says our Correspondant—by two sheets of sup plement in the Paris Papers, which I now send. The memorable Bill of Rights of France had been hardly voted, when the whole body of the Deputies pro ceeded to the Palais Royal, preceded by the trico loured flag,iu the midst of an immense crowd saluting them with thunders of applause. On arriving at the Palais Royal the Chamber was admitted into the apartment of the Lieut.-General, who was surrounded by his young and numerous family. M. LAVITTF., President, read the Bill of Rights of France, and the Prince made the following answer with profound emotion : " I receive with deep emotion the declaration you ' have just presented to me. I consider it as the ex pression of the national will, and it appears to be con formable to the political principles which 1 professed throughout my whole life. With a soul full of recol lections, which made me wish never to ascend the throne, free from ambition, and accustomed to a peaceful life in the bosom of my family, I cannot conceal the sentiments which agitate my soul in this great conjuncture; but there is one which predominates over all others, and that is love of my country. I know what it prescribes, and I shall do it." Tears rushed into the eyes of the Prince and stopped his voice. He grasped with affection the hand of the President, and of several of the Deputies. Thousands of acclamations of Five le Roi! arose, and every hat adorned with the National colours, was raised in accla mation. The QUEEN, the model of mothers, advanced, surrrounded by her eight children, amidst acclama tions. An immense population crowded the Place de Palais Royal. PIIILLIP D'OttLzAws appeared at the balcony, and thousands of shouts announced the hopes and the joys of France. Nothing that is advanced, adds our Correspondent, by the Constitutionnel, is at all exaggerated. Never did I witness more expression of tumultuous joy, than yester day evening at the Palais Royal. The inner court was filled with the citizens. I suppose it may contain about 5,000 ; and whenever the Kiva appeared at the balcony, which he did many times, and attempted to address the people, the shouts were so deafening that it was impossible for him to be heard. I used to remark the coldness of the French people towards their late KixG, contrasted with the habits of the people in England towards their's. Charles X. was scarcely cheered or noticed when he appeared ; but there is no want of warmth towards the new Sovereign, whose title is Philip the Seventh. There was a baud of music in the Court of the Palais Royal, and the people were continually demanding them to play the Marseillois Hymn, and Ca Ira, the whole of the people singing with the music, which had a wonderful effect. Some of the officers from the balcony called for the " Marseillois," and cheered equally with the people below. Having thus given from our Correspondent the de tails of the deliberations of the Deputies, their address to the Kum, and his reply, we proceed to give the fol lowing account of the meeting of the Chamber of Peers of the 7th. SUNDAY, Two P.M CHAMBER. OF PEERS—SITTING or Ave. 7. . The President took the chair at two o'clock. The Chamber proceeded to the organization of its bureaux, by the nomination of President and Secretaries of each of them, u well as to the formation of the Peti tion Committee. The sitting was then adjourned till nine o'clock, when it was resumed. The Chamber received a communication of the de claration adopted by the Chamber of Deputies, in its sitting of this day ; upon which a discussion took place, M. de Chateaubriand, Count Audlan, and several other Peers, taking part of it. After this discussion, the Chamber adopted separately all the provisions contained in the declaration of the Cham ber of Deputies, with the exception of one, which it mo dified as follows: " The Chamber of Peers declares that it cannot deli berate on the provision of the declaration of the Chamber of Deputies, couched in these terms : " All the nominations and creations of Pcers made the reign of Cnanzis X. Are declared null and void." The Chamber of Peers declares that it will Wee th e decision of this question to the , high prudence of th e Prince Lieutenant-General. The Chamber having proceeded to the ballot, there appeared for the declaration, 89 ; against it, 10. The Chamber decided, that the declaration adopted, should be immediately transmitted to the Prince Lieutenant-Gene ral by a grand deputation. accompanied by all such Peers as might wish to attend it. The grand deputation was immediately chosen by bal lot, and proceeded to the Palais Royale, accompanied by a great number of Peers. The following address was delivered by the President to his Royal Highness. MONSEIGNEUR,—The Chamber of Peers are come to present to your Royal Highness the Act which is to secure our future destiny. You formerly defended with arms, our new and inexperienced liberties: to-day you are about to perpetuate them by institutions and laws. Your exalted understanding, your inclination, the recollection of your whole life, promise that we shall find in you a citizen and King. You will re spect our guarantees, which are at the same time your own. This noble family we see around you, brought up in the love of their country, and of justice, and of truth, will ensure to our children the peaceable enjoy ment of that Charter you are about to swear to main tain, and the benefit of a Government at once stable and free. To this address his Royal Highness replied as (oh lows : " GENTLEMEN,—By presenting to me this declara tion, you have testified a confidence which deeply affects me. Attached from conviction to constitutional prin ciples, I desire nothing so much as a good understanding between the two. Chambers. I thank you for affording me ground to reckon upon it. You have imposed upon me a great task. I will endeavour to prove myself worthy of it." On Friday night, about nine o'clock, an assemblage of 400 young men went to the Court before the Chamber of Deputies, in order, as they declared, to protest against the acknowledgment of an hereditary peerage. They formed a double line, and when a Deputy passed, saluted hini with cries of " Down with the hereditary peerage." At the same time the whole group took off their hats, and mingled with the cries, " Long live the Deputies, honour to the Deputies." The disorder increased, and many orators appeared. The Chamber wrs disturbed, andlM. Benjamin Constant, and M. G Lafayette, ad dressed them, and entreated them to retire. At last Gen. Lafayette himself came upon the steps and addressed them, and after bearing testimony to their noble conduct, continued..." I am entitled to your attention, because the opinions that have induced you to come here are my own. I know how to support them, while I feel you may fall into errors. Permit me, in addition to so many motives, to require you to consider my personal feelings. I have engaged my honour that no disturbance shall interrupt the proceedings of the Chamber. If the Deputies should be interrupted, and any painful scenes pass at the doors, I shall be as it were responsible. It is with me a point of honour, and I place my honour under the protection of your friendship." The young men dispersed, singing the Marseillois Hymn. The Brussels Papers of the Bth inst. state that emigrants from France are daily taking refuge in the Netherlands ; and some of the old Conventionalists, who were in re tirement there, are going back to France. Among the emigrants from France is the Duke of FITZ JAMES ; and among those going to Francs, are, SEYES ; MERLIN DK DOUAI ; BECLIER, Counsellor of State ; BARRERI, Member of the Committee of Public Safety ; MAILLES, Counsellor of the Court of Cessation ; INO RAND, Member of the Committee of Public Safety ; THIBEDEAU, Counsellor of State; CAULITIER, LE VASSEUR DE LA SARTHE ; CIIAZAL, Prefect of the Lower Pyrenees; Poc tiou.s, Sub-Prefect of Neufchatel. CITY. TWELVE O'CLOCK. Consols opened this morning at the same price they left off yesterday, 914 for the account ; soon after they were done at 91i : at present they are 914 I. A letter from Lyons, of the 2nd August, states that several carts, with arms and ammunition, have been stopped there, destined for the Southern departments. Bordeaux—The tri-coloured flag has been hoisted, and the National Guard organized. Brest—The flag has been changed : the moment the orders arrived, the civil authorities changed : arms have been distributed to the National Guard. St. Malo—The tri-coloured flag has been hoisted, and the artillery of the line wear the Nation 'al cockade : 25,000 of the National Guard are organized in Brittany. Cherbourg—The tri-coloured flag is flying. Marseilles—the National flag is hoisted; all is quiet. Toulon—the events at Paris are known ; all is quiet. A vessel is to sail on the sth, with a Commissioner for Algiers. We have received the following by the French Mail this morning :—Accounts from Algiers, received at Toulon of the Ist Aug. state, that the ships Scipion and brig Lynx, have arrived at Toulon from Algiers and Side Ferruch ; the Lynx brings the remains of the young Bourmont; they also bring the sum of 6 millions taken from the Casuba, which will be deposited in the Royal Treasury, with the 26 millions already arrived. Four hundred sick have also come in the above vessel, and will be sent to the Lazaret at Marseilles, where there is already 1000 sick soldiers ; there are a great number in the hospitals of Algiers and Mahon. We learn that Count Bourmont has made an excursion into the interior of the country, and his eldest son has gone to take pos session of Oran. Bene has submitted to Admiral Rosamel. Charles the Tenth was lodged at a private house at Dreaux, guarded by two Commissioners. The Duchess de Berri declined getting out of the carriage at the front doer of the house, and begged that the coach might be ' drawn up in the Court-yard. The Commissioners travel in the same carriage as Charles the Tenth. The two American packet boats which are gone to Cherbourg, are beautiful ships of 300 tons. The day they left Hare a violent storm took place. They are expected to wait some time at Cherbourg, as the Ex- King travels slow. It is believed he will sot proceed by the way of Caen. but take the road by Falaise, Cinde, Vive, and St. Lo. CITY, HALF PAST OWE, Consols have been the whole morning 91i, alternately I buyers and sellers. In the Foreign Market Spanish not quite so good. South Metropolitan Gas 2i premium. The tri-coloured hg over the porch of the Palais Royal, bears this inscription, from a popular song of Ds BZRANOLZ : Aw Parisistu die osa seas* powders Qui commit is, maim minim PRITATE LETTER FROM PARIS. In part of our impression yesterday eve i a secutitl edition,—we gave the subjoined sketch of the deliberations of the Deputies in Paris. Seeing nothing so entire in any of our morning or evening cotemporaries, and know ing, likewise, that we have the means of connecting all the links of this interesting history by a correspond ence, which is exclusively our own, we republish till article, so that our early readers may be enabled to ap preciate the value of the information, which, as jour nalists, it is our duty and business to make every effort to obtain ; and we have confidence in saying, that if our Readers will do us the favour to compare, from dad• to day, the details of French intelligence, furnished by us, and that to be found in the columns of any of our coteto poraries, they will find that we have the superiority. In addition to the notices of the sitting of the French Chambers, which we give in another department of this sheet, republished from the meagre accounts of our morn. ing contemporaries, we are now able to give a lunch more complete account of the deliberations of the Deputies, to a later date, received this day at two o'clock; and which becomes of the highest importance, as developing the feelings of parties in France. Our Parisian Correspondent, among numerous curious paragraphs which we shall probably make extracts from to-morrow, gives the following facts, which we have not observed in the columns of any of our contemporaries : Gen. D unoc no, who commanded the National Guard for a few days, and who was unknown to most of the Parisians, has disappeared suddenly from the stage.— Some very strange reports are current on the subject.— Furct de Paris. General D not: ttu, whose mysterious disappearance was talked of yesterday, was apprehended at Clichy, by a detachment of the National Guard, and afterwards sent to prison. The Minister of the United States has been to pay hi, respects to the Lieutenant-General at the Palais Royale ; and among the numerous worshippers of the rising sun. who HAVE been to pay their deroirs, is to be reckoned that old Vicar of Bray, Talleyrand. Two of the late Ministers, De Peyronnet and Chante lauze, have been taken, and are now in prison at Tours. Polignac is supposed to have escaped. The proceedings of Deputies commenced by the exanii , nation of their qualifications. The Piles' DEN T announced that he had just received a communication, that Govern ment had a proposition to make to the Chamber. The election of one Member was annulled. The list having been gone through, the Chamber proceeded to nominate the candidates for the PRESIDENT ' to be chosen there from by the Lieutenant-General of the kingdom. - - M. DE CORCELLES.—" We are now going, Gentle men, to proceed to the nomination of our President. The principal aim of our efforts is to terminate our operations rapidly. I therefore propose to appoint our President directly; it is a precedent which can in nowise be inju rious to our situation, and which may be very favourable to it by saving much time and trouble—" M. VIES ET—" And the Charter !" M. nE CORCELLES—" The Charter! Why, gentle men, the first ring of the chain escapes us ; we can only be guided by the pressure of circumstances." M. GAELAN DE LAROCIIEFOUCAULD—Demanded that the four candidates, out of the five, from whom the President is chosen, should be Vice-Presidents by right. Tit LI PUESIDENT..— , " It does not appear decided whether a list of five candidates fur the Presidency is to be made. A communication from the Government has been announced to us ; if I am rightly informed, it has for its object to decide that the Chamber has the right of directly appointing its President." M. VI ENN ur--.“ What is proposed here ? It is to set the example of violating the laws. The people have shed their blood to make the reign of the laws triumph, and it is sought to violate them in the face of France.' M. CHARLES DUPIN...." Let us appoint five candi dates. The first shall be President in case the choice of President shall be left to the Chamber ; the four others shall be Vice-Presidents." M. DEW, ItCAY—" We must yield to circumstances ; no one wishes to violate the laws. Nobody has a right to grant, or to take away from the Chamber the right of appointing its President. As to the proposition of M. CHARLES DUNN, it is a subterfuge." M. CHARLES Dt:Plli With the charter in my hand, I tell you " M. DE CORCELLES—" The Charter! it has ex pired." M. DE VILLLMAIN—" I think that we ought all to be anxious to act with promptitude. But Ido not think we ought to begin in the career of happy innovations, by an innovation which would only concern ourselves. We are• governed by laws : if they were abolished, what should we have to reform them ? The law directs us to name five candidates for the Presidency. We must not proceed to cancel this article by a consideration which is quite per sonal. Let us attend to what is more public, more ge neral, and more national : afterwards we will think of ourselves." (Cheers.) The President consulted the Chain ber. It was determined to proceed to the formation of a list of five candidates for the Presidency, and the four can didates not chosen to be Vice-Presidents. Upon its being put to the ballot, the numbers were as follow : M. Cassmir Perier, 174 ; M. Latfitte, 160 ; Benjamin Delessert, 123 ; Dupin, senior, 120 ; Royer Collard, 100; Benjamin Constant, 85—when Messrs. Cassimir Perier, Lalfitte, Benjamin Delessert, Dupin senior, and Royer Collard, were proclaimed candidates for the Pre sidency. The PRESIDENT — " I would ask the Chamber whether it means to continue its proceedings to-day—(yes, yes. ) I beg to inform the Chamber, that I expect every moment an answer from the Minister of the Interior, as to what hour the Lieut.-General of the Kingdom will receive the provisional bureau." The Chamber decided to adjourn to eight o'clock. M. RABBET DE POMPIERS took the Chair at 8 P.M. The President read a letter from the Minister of the Interior, announcing that the Lieut.-General of the Kingdom would receive the Officers of the Chambers this evening at 9 o'clock. He then proposed, in order to prevent the business of the Chamber from being sus pended, that M. de Lameth should take the Chair, and that only two of the four Secretaries should accompany him (the President) to the Palais Royale. This propoeal was adopted. At half past nine the President and the two Secretaries returned, and M. LAMBE! de PoMPIERES informed the Chamber that they had waited upon the Lieut.-General of the kingdom, and presented to him the list of the five candidates for the presidency. That he declared his acceptance of it for this time, because the law so or dained, arid every good citizen ought to obey the laws : but expressed a hope that it would be the last time, and that in future the Chamber would choose its own Presi dent." (Much applause.) The Chamber then adjourned tiU ten o'clock. r
