NOT NXCLUSITT. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. CHAMBER 01 DEPUTI N0v.13. At one o'clock M. Delessen (Vice Paesident) took the chair. :4- ,ral deputies of the left, for want of room at that side, seated them. :dies at the extreme droit. M. Corcelles presented a report on a petition of a M. Schirmer, call. lig for reform in the organization of the collectors of the indirect •arcs, and proposed the order of the day, on the plea that the petitioner in the constant habit of troubling the Chamber with hie petitions. member objected to the order of the day, because the petition cur. tAined much useful information. Tile order of the day, however, was adopted. The President having proposed to pass to the order of the day on 12 vther petitions of M. Schirmer, Al. de TRACT observed that it was advisable to vote severally on •tch petition. M. Lauri IE a and several members from the centres declared that the l'haniber should conic to the tesolution of not receiving any more poll lions from that individual. . . ..... M. tie TRACY observed that it would be a bad precedent to establish. Another Nlember—lf M. Schirmer be interdicted. then we may adopt that resolution ; but if he enjoys the use of all his faculties, he has a right to petition the Chamber whenever he pleases. Here M. Schirmer, who was placed in the gallery, rose, and declared that he was not insane--(laughter.) An officer of the Chamber proceeded .o the gallery, and turned out the petitioner. M. MECHIN bore favourable testimony to the character of M. Schir mer, who, he said, was one of his clients. lie stated that he had been '.:justly deprived of his situation by M. Peyronnet, and had met with , :very persecution from that Minister. NI llechin recommended the petitioner to the humanity of the present Administration. The order of the day was passer: to prim bis twelve petitions. M. Cone:am-Es also pre seitted a petition' from NI. Delaly, of Lon don, which contained a draft of a Constitution, in lOU articles, founded on that of the Empire. The Reporter observed that the petitioner did not give proof of .:rest knowledge of legislation, and consequently proposed the order of the day, which was carried. A petition from several members of the Legion of Honour, requesting !e) be paid the arrears of their salaries, was referred to the Mirdsters of War and lina;:ce. Another petitioner asked that the et mains of Voltaire and Rousseau he removal to the cemetery of Pere la Chaise, and that the 28th of July be bireaftcr observed as a national festival.—Referred to the Minister of the Ititerior. Anisson gave notice of a plan he intended to propose in order to increase the revenues of the State without augmenting the taxes—(loud laughter.) The discus:4mi of the project of national recompenses was then resumed. M. 'r. A icarart, a Deputy from Nantes, proposed an amendment, !lavin.; fur its object to extend the benefit of the intended law to the -uffcras of that city. M.GALLOTT hal a long narrative of the patriotic acts of the inha bit:4los of Nantes, and proposed the erection of a monument to com nantotate thdr devotion to the cans'. of liberty. M. Lan EVEILLEILE LEPEAVX (the ~on of the member of the Di rtctory) supported the amendment. Al. I , Ausawr was of opinion that the inhabitants of Nismes, who, at the la ter end of August last had put down an insurrection attempted in fa vent of CharlesX. should likewise participate in the nationalrecompenses. Another Nit:tuber called the solicitude of the Chamber to the heroic ntluct of the inhabitants of Boulogne, St. Cloud, and Sevres, of the '2oth and 30th of July, of which he was himself a witness. Al. KERATAY, reporter of the Commission, proposed to add that the disroitions of the law be extended to the districts of France that had taken part in the revolution. Here a desultory discussion took place between Messrs. Mechin, St. Mignon, Lareveillere, General lircnier, Tracy, and M. Thil, who eulo. gifted the patriotism of the people of Rouen, Havre, and other places of ' ;he department of the Seine Inferieure. ill. LAFITTE stated thatLthe Government intended to submit a new project in favour of the sufferers in the departments, and wished the _haft ber to confine itself, for the present, to what concerns the Parisians. Nutwithsn.nding M. Latitte's declaration, the chamber decided that the law already proposed be extended to the patriots of the departments. M. VIINNET then asked that the triumphal arch of the Carousel be restored to i.s primitive destination, and that a special monument corn :l:calor:dive of tile 28th of July be erected on the Place de Greve. This proposition was received with loud acclamation. SPEECH OF THE NEW PRESIDENT. The Pcia4dent addressed the Chamber in the following words:— •• Raised fer the second time by your votes to the highest honour that a citizen can attain, that of presiding over this Chamber, I have only to consider in this new mark of confidence the obligation it imposes on me, and the only way by which I can prove to you my gratitude is, by corresponding to your wishes. You have marked out the duty 1 have to perform ; I can have no longer recourse to excuses, sot even to those which the present state of my health might jus tify ; nor can I allege distrust of my own capacity, so much in :nasal of late by the illustrious recollections which the talents my predecessors have attached to those functions to which you have called me. Anxious to impress upon my mind your real intentions, I shall always remain faithful, as the country has been to this Charm bet, in strengthening its patriotism by 130 new elections. My line of conduct is already traced beforehand by your firm determination to maintain in all its purity the Charter which forms the link between the sovereign and the nation; which is also your best title to humor talky, fir in it you have the foundation of those progressive ameliora tions that niust be the result of our glorious revolution. I accept the sew honour that you have conferred upon me, and I shall feel truly happy if I can follow the examples given by the honourable personage who has preceded me in thete functions, and which he has ceased to fulfil without erasing to be the living type of your desires and principles, and the most worthy represeata.ive of your opinions near the throne. You regret his absence from this, chair; 1 shall endeavour to recal him to your re. Aembrance as much as shall be in my power. It is thus, gentlemen, that on both sides every thing now contributes to that perfect harmony between the diffcreot branches of the legislative body. so highly necessary in the present critical though transitory state of affairs, and after which the true friends of order will attain that end, claimed by the progress and (he interests of the country. May my own seal, supported by your appro. bation and indulgence, supply me with the means of proving to what extent I carry my respect and devotedness for the Chamber ! I flatter myself that the Chamber will sometimes excuse me, if my debili tated state of health do not allow me to fulfil the high duties which are impt,Aed upon me, and which cannot be better accomplished than by those honourable members who have been called to tae Vice. Presidency, and to whose obliging dispositions I may have recourse „ beet necessary. lam also of opinion that it will be more proper for me not to take the chair till to-morrow. The discussien relative to lire national rewards began yesterday, under the Presidency of M. Delessert ; and it is but just that he should continue to do so until the close of ma' deliberations on that question.' (Cheers.)" Paws Saturday Evening, Nov. would be idle to troubl e yeu, at this moment, with the mere gabble of the street politicians of a city as this, who are always under a meddling impulse in their views of the foreign relations of their country ; but it may be important to fortify you, as fur as possible, with facts, to satisfy the people of England of the pacific spirit which the French King has infused into the council of his Government, and the firmness of his determine taia to abstain from any aggressive interference with the internal concerns of other states. The first act of Count Slontalivet,lupon his ac. cession to the administration of the affairs of the Interior, was to trans. mit to the authorities at Bayonne a peremptory older, to disarm and de. rain in custody, any Spanish soldier who should, in the pursuit of fugi. tires, violate the sanctuary of the soil of France; and, on the oth er hand, to enjoin any of the unhappy exiles who were seeking to promote I, volution in Spain, to retire from the French frontier, the necessary pains 'ring at the same time takento avoid unnecessary hardships towards those at either side who may happen to be wounded. This execution of the principle of non-intervention was still further followed up by a peremp. tory order from Count Montalivet to the French authorities, to employ torte, should such be unhappily required, to remove the Spanish refu ...tees from the frontier, and disband them in the interior of France. This List order has led to some remonstrances from the people of Bayonne, who have become enthusiasts in the cause of the Spanish patriots, and t! , c following is an extract of a letter received by post this morning from a gentleman who resides a short distance from Bayonne : " I received this instant from Bayonne, news of the most afflicting nature. The Minister of the Interior, M. Montalivet, has ordered the Spanish refugees to retire into the interior of France. The National Guanl of Bayonne opposes the execution of this inhuman order. There' is now only to choose between civil or foreign war,—which will our statesmen prefer " It is, however, determined that this order shall be enforced. When t is known that Mina is personally known to the King of France, and esteemed for his worth and patriotism by those who are in his Majesty's councils, no stronger proof can be given than that now furnished by the Court of Paris, in an miler to disband the discomfited adherents of the distinguished Spanish patrior. No apprehension whatever is entertained that the National Guards at Bayonne will oppose the execution of any order emanating from their constitutional King, and dictated by his earnest desire at this moment to co-operate with England in maintaining the peace of Eu :ope.—Laier is the Times. OPERATIONS IN ARRAOON. General Queues is said to have quitted Plan on the3d, having stayed there two days, and to have marched for Loa Panics, taking his way by Villanueva (where he halted to refresh his troops) and Partegon,leaving lionanta on the left. By this it would seem that be is proceeding by Bonanza and Barbastro. At Plan about 40 men joined him. Hie march to Las Paules was in consequence of invitations sent him by the Julia. brains, who offered to join him with 400 men at Bonavarro: be ex 'Acted GOO, and about 800 more at Barbastro.

Nov. 10.—The Hall formerly occupied by the States-General was prepared to receive the Members of Congress. Benches and galleries had been added, and the President's desk occupied the place of the throne, between two tricoloured flags. At half-past 11 the troops arrived in front of the Palace of the Con gress : a squadron of chasseurs on horseback, a large detachment of chess. seers on foot, the chasseurs of M. de Chasteler, the City Guard, all in uniform, the Volunteers of Liege, with their yellow and red standard, filed off successively, and ranged themselves, partly in front of the Pa. lace, and partly in two lines in the streets leading to it. A band of music played various marches, including the " Marseilloise." An immense crowd filled all the avenues. At halt past 12 a salute of 21 guns announced the opening of the Congress. Gendebien took the chair as the oldest member. Present 152 Deputies. The four youngest members acted as beat. taries. The PRESIDENT—The National Congress instals itself in the name of the people. Is it not proper, gentlemen, to choose out of the as sembly a deputation to go and inform the Provisional Government that the Congress is assembled, and to introduce it among us, in order to proceed to its definitive installation ? (Several voices " No, no !") As there seems to be a difference of opinion respecting my proposal, I think the assembly should divide on it. Al. Vex MEErtrx—l think it is necessary, fast of all, at least to inform the Provisional Government that we are assembled. M. DE BlEtmEtrataz—Gentlemen, the question is, whether the Provisional Government shall be informed of our meeting, and intro. duccd by a deputation chosen from the Assembly ? I think that this would be inconsistent with the dignity of the Congress named by the Belgian nation, and representing it. The Congress constitutes itself by its own act, and seems not to require to be installed by any other au. thority, since it recognises no constituted authority superior to its own. I therefore think that the Provisional Government should be informed by one of the Members of the Bureau, or by an Usher—('• Supported ! Supported I") 'll ire PRESIDENT—The assembly seems to adopt the opinion of M. de itleulenacre. M. Vat; SNICK—I cannot imagine that the National Congress would derogate from its dignity by sending a deputation to the Provisional Government : on the contrary, I think we ought to give it that mark of esteem. It is essential to invest it with the respect of the nation. It is through the Provisional Government that the Congress exists.—(Bravo, bravo! from all parts of the Hall.) The assembly resolved to send a deputation of two Members— Messrs. Le Comte Cane and De Serruys—who left the Hall, and soon returned with the members of the Provisional Government, followed by several tears of the Staff, &c.—They took their places at a table before the President, who invited N. de Potter to speak, as the oldest member of the Provisional Government. Three rounds of applause, and Bravos from the assembly and the gallerica, followed, and when silence was restored, M. de POTTER spoke as follows : " In the name of the Belgian people, the Provisional Government opens the Assembly of the Representatives of the Nation. The nation has confided to those representatives the august minion of founding, on the broad and solid basis of liberty, the edifice of the new social order, which will be the principle and the guarantee of dura ble happiness to Belgium. " You know, gentlemen, that at the time of our union with Holland a fundamental law was presented to an assembly of Notables chosen by the Government, not to examine, discuss, modify, and, lastly, accept it, and to make it the condition of a compact between the people and the head of the state ; but solely and implicitly to submit to it, or totally to reject it. It was rejected ,as might have been expectedlrom the good sense and integrity of the Belgians, but by an unparalleled subterfuge it was declared to be accepted, and a constitution imposed by Holland oppressed our country. " If at least, this fundamental law had been sincerely executed in all its parts, with time, perhaps, and by the aid of the progress which the arbitrary conduct of ministers compelled us daily to make in the career of constitutional opposition, it might have become the hope of Belgian liberty. " But far from this, contracts violated, instruction fettered, the press condemned to be nothing more than an instrument of Government° or forced to silence—the arbitrary substitution of the regime of de crees (metes) to the legal system established by the social compact—the right of petition disregarded--the confusion of all powers, which were become the property of one—the despotical imposition of a privileged language—the power of removing (amovibillt6) the Judges, degraded to act the part of Commissioners of Government, and the complete absence of the guarantee ofpublicity, and of that of the Jury— an enormous debt and expenditure, the only portion which Holland brought us at the time of our deplorable union—taxes overwhelming by their amount, and still more by the manner in which they were appor tioned, which were wholly unpopular, wholly bearing on the indigent classes—laws always been voted by the Dutch for Holland only, and always against Belgium, represented so unequally in the States-Gene ral, the seat of all the great constituted bodies, and of all important es tablishments fixed in Holland—the scandalous misapplication of the funds specially destined to favour manufactures ; and, lastly, the most offensive partiality in the distribution of civil and military employments by a government in whose eyes the name of Belgium was a disgrace ; in a word, all Belgium treated as a conquered province, as a colony. Every thing, gentlemen, rendered a revolution necessary and inevitable, and hastened its approach. " Such just and real grievances could not but ensure the result of it. " We had risen against despotism to reconquer our rights; all were treated by tyranny as rebels. Our cities burnt—the most barbarous treatment even of old men and of women—the rights of humanity, the laws of war, trampled under foot,-testify the ferocity of our enemy, and call down blessings on the victory of the people, which has cleared our territory of them. " The fruit of this victory was independence. The people has de clared it through us. As the organ of its wishes, the Provisional Go vetnment has called you together, Gentlemen, to consolidate it forever. " But, till you could come to perform this task, a centre• of action was necessaryto provide for the first and most urgent wants of the State. A Provisional Government was established, and made up for a time for the absence of all authority. The necessity for a Government of some kind justified its mission, and the assent of the people has I confirmed it. _ _ " Every thing was to be done, every thing was to be created. It was necessary to re.organiae the internal administration, the judicial audio. rity, the army, the finances, and the citizen guards, who will henceforth be the support of modern empires. It is for you, gentlemen, and for the nation, to judge whether, wits the few means that were at our dig*■ sal, we have succeeded in preparing for Belgium a future course if strength and prosperity, " Our acts are known to you, Gentlemen, and the nation, we hoc has ratified them. The odious tax of the abaltage is abolished, proceedings in the criminal courts rendered public, the institution of the Jury promised, and new guarantees secured to persons tried before the courts of maize ; the abolition of the degrading punishment of the has tonade, the popular election of the Burgomasters and regencies (city magistracy,) the direct election of the Deputies to the National Con gress, no more general boards of police, no more high police, the en franchisement of the dramatic art, the abolition of the lottery, the publi city of the accounts, and the budgets of the Communes ; and, lastly, full and entire liberty of the Press, of instruction, of associations of all kinds, and of opinion and forms of religious worship, henceforth delivered fro.: all fears of persecution, and from all danger of oppression ; such ; Gen. elemen, are the principal titles to approval with which the Provisional Government appears before the nation and its representatives. " As for relations with foreign countries, we have not thought it advisable to enter into any such, under the circumatanses in which the nation and we ourselves were placed. Besides, we know for certain, and we can give you the positive assurance that the principle of nonintervention would be strictly observed towards us. We, therefore, thought that free Belgium ought to found its independence by its own force, always ready to oppose whoever should attempt to impede this sacred right. " Since we took this resolution we have received from the five great Powers recent and official communications, which we are happy to be able to lay before you on this solemn day. These comm . unicadons fully conam the assurances previously given, and make us hope, with the speedy cessation of hostilities, the evacuation, without any condition, et the whole territory of Belgium. " Gentlemen, you are going to finish and to consolidate our work. Found the edifies of our future prosperity on the principles of the liberty of all, of the equality of all in the eye of the law, and of the most rigid economy. Let the people be called to ptMit by our revolution ; let the expenditure of the state be in the proportion of its real wants, the salaries ot pub tomelmovin iroducW, so as to be no mere than a just indemnity use the dim seed tolmoi wblch they devote to the • The word employed by M. de Potter la not " gouversement,” but the Mote vague term " wmb." country.

M. FALLoy proposed a vote of thanks to the Provisional Govern ment, but he was not seconded. Tne ussembly then proc..ltel to the necessary proliminary business, verifying the powers of the members, &c. h. the sitting of the 11.11, it was resolved there should be a President, two Vice-Presidents, and four Secretaries. 111. Surict de Chokicr was chosen President, after three ballots, by 106 votes out of 167. Messrs. de Gerlache and M. Stassart were chosen Vice Presidents., A committee was appointed to draw up a plan of regulations for the proceedings of the assembly, and another committee to draw up an answer to the opening speech of the. Provisional Government. Nov. 11 —Mr. Croth. a British Cabinet messenger, who brought despatches from London for our government. set out again yesterday evening with despatches for London. The magistrates have set workmen to repair the streets and rtmove the barricades; but unless they employ more hands, we feat they will rot finish the work before A NTT ERP. Nov. 10.—We have been in great agitation and some danger, in consequence of a ship, ti.e Hull packet, tielonging to Mesas. Cassiets. having entered the port in spite of the terms of the armistice, and of the prohibition of the commander of the rquadron, alto, by way of reprisal, refused to let the ships proceed to the interior, as they lied permission to do by the c , .tivention concluded with Gen. Chaasi•, The latter demanded satisfaction for this intrainion of the convention, and a deputation of merchants went to atit him what satisfaction he required. In the end, Gen. Chasse ageed to let the ships proceed to the Interior, and the Hull packet was taken to Lillo by an officer of the Dutch squa dron. It is said the city was threatened with a second bumbardinem. From the courier des Pays Bar of Saturday. SECOND SITTING OF THE NATIONAL CONGRESS. President-31. °mnism', the father, oldest Member. There were present 17l members, many of whom were ecclesiastics. The Sitting was opened by the reading of the minutes of the last Sit ting by one of the secretaries. The Chamber then proceeded to the verification of the powers of the members. Several were admitted. 31. LAUGHS reported the following objection to a M. Paillot, as aching under the decree of the 10th of October, 1330 : " Tbat M. Hippolyte Louis Paillot is a Frenchman ; though, by a decree of the Provisional Government of the 10th of October, he ought to be born or indigenated a Belgian. " That he had not, by his own admission, been domiciled till 1819, and cannot produce other letters of naturalization than those of the date of the 20th June, 1820. " And upon th ese facts the Committee are unanimous against his election. No opposition is made to this decision, and it is declared to be adopted." M. Vax Snicn rose, and stated that he thought the naturalization granted to 31. Paillot was enough to satisfy the spirit of the decree in question.—(Several voices, " Oh, too late!" •• The decision is rc. corded." 31. Van Snick sat down.) A member demanded the reading of a letter relative to the elections of Tourney. Several voices, " No, no : it is personal." M. Lehon.—ls this letter confidential or official P It appears to me official. It insults several members of the chamber: it has been read to the central committee, to the committee of the Interior, and in the bu. name of this chamber. I think it ought to be read, and refuted pub. Hely ; that is due to those whom it accuses. For myself, personally, I shall not stoop from my place here to repel the insults of a function. ary whose power is but temporary. The chamber, however, decided against the reading. The chamber then pro ceeded to choosing its officers. As a first step, it was resolved " that a definitive committee be formed, to consist of a President, two Vice-Presidents, and four Secretaries." For regulating the mode of electing these functionaries, it was de cided " that the return for President shall be by an absolute majority ; but, of the two Vice-Presidents and the four Secretaries, by relative majorities. Another resolution was," that this Bureau be renewed every 15 days." The scrutiny was then proceeded with. The" Elder" presented three lists; the first containing the name* et 31M. Gerlache, De Stassart, Surlet de Chokier ; the second, those et MM. Hippolyte Vilain XIV. the Abbe de Foere, Lebesu ; the third, td. Forgeur, Francois, De 31eulenaen • they declared the number of votes to be 170; the absolute majority 86. Upon the first scrutiny, M. Surlet de Chokler had 51 voices, Da Gerlache 51, De Stuart 50, Lehon 8, De Meulenaere 3, Beauties. lemy 3, Fallon 1. None of the candidates having obtained the absolute majority (86,) the Chamber proceeded a second time to the scrutiny. Votets, this time, 189 • absolute majority 85. Result.—Surlet 63, De Galache 62, De Stassart 43. The contest was now between De Gerlache and Surlet; upon this third trial, it resulted in Surlet 106, De Gerlache 61. Ordered that the Doyen ord9e (the President) record the result. The election for Vice-Presidents fell upon MM. de Chalache and de Stassart. M. SUBLET DE CItOKIER took the chair amidst the loudest accla mations. He addressed the assembly in these terms—" Gentlemen, the distinguished confidence with which you have just honoured me is more than embarrassing; language is unable to express my acknowledgments. Not having the honour to be known to the greater part of the members of this assembly, I owc, without doubt, this remarkable favour to the friendly zeal of my former colleagues, who, I am afraid, have con.l suited less the sense of the necessary qualifications for this high place than their attachment to me. Gentlemen, I thank youe the trust which you have confided to me I accept cheerfully e where so much partiality has been shown, indulgence will not be want ing. I make no promises, and all my professions are wrapped up in these words—l shall do my best"--(loud cheers.) The President con cluded by moving a vote of thanks to their late venerable " Elder," M. Gendebien.—Carried with acclamation. A discussion then arose upon the appointment of a Committee, to prepare an address in answer to the speech of the Provisional Go vernment; but "darkness," a the reporter says, " having begun to spread itself throughout the Hall," the nomination was postponed to the sitting of the following day, which was to commence at ten o'clock in the forenoon. SPIRI 1' OF THE JOLUINALS. CHRONTCLE." I place, without reserre, at your disposal my in. tercet in the hereditary revenues, and in those funds which may be de rived from any droits of the crown or admiralty, from the West India duties, or from any casual rerenass, either in twit forties possessions or in the United Kingdom." Such are the words in which, speaking by the mouth of his Maiesty,ministett announced to the House of Commons the cession which, on the part of the crown, they were prepared to advise as the foundation for, and preparatory to, a new settlement of the civil List. In what more general and comprehensive language the revenues of the Crown could have been described, or how the most unreserved and unconditional surrender of those revenues could have been more distinctly announced, we are at a loss to imagine; nor would it have been credible that any men, even the members of this Cabinet, with all their ineptness in the choice of language proper to be employed in the great and solemn manifestoes of Government, should have conceived the preposterous notion of reconciling with a renunciation, thus specific and redundant even to t auto l og y, the reservation which, by the speech of Mr. Goulburn, on Friday night, appears to be new intended. Trans.—ln acting with the promptitude which they have evinced, and in convoking so speedily a national convention, to settle the tu•ure government of the country, M. de Potter and ills associates have not only shown good sense and good intentions, but have made considerable personal sacrifices to their patriotism. Trsts..—The general principle of the proposal Civil List is now be. fore the country, though it will hereafter, no doubt, undergo a rigid discus sion, and perhaps be subjected to some alight changes .ra- :her. The principle is this--that in lieu of the hereditary revenues of the crown, amounting, it is estimated, at the present time, to upwards of 800,0(101 a civil list shall be granted of above 1,000.0001. in round numbers. But then of that 1,000,000 the King can only be said to take to himself something short of one half, as under the following heads : Privy Purse £llO,OOO Great Officers of the Household.. 140,000 Tradesmen,' bills .. 210,500 Total amount £460,600 The rest is applied to the payment d.ludges' and Ambassadors' sala ries, and other objects which are as public rather than of a personal or private nature. The reduction is, as we stated lwieily on Saturday, 010,0001. per annum ; this is to be the whole retreeehment upon the Civil List : but then there is so establishment for the Qoeen, estimated at 100.0001. and this sum of 101.0001. is not to be added to the Civil List, but is to be comprised within it, after it is diminished by he amount above stated of 10,01101.
