Given at Paris, in the Palace of the Thuilleries, August 13, 1814. (Signed) Louis. (By the King.) Abbe de MONTFFQUIOU. M. DESAULX, in the name of the Committee of Pe titions, announced, that some widows of military Of ficers, Members of the Legion of Hon ur, had peti tioned in favour of their daughters, against the sup pression of several establishments into which they had been admitted. He enumerated several De crees of the late Government, ard•_tring the establish ment of houses of education for the daughters of Members of the Legion of Honour, at the experse of the funds of the Legion. By a decree of the 29th of March, 1809, 600 young ladies, daughters, sisters, nieces, or cousins.german of Members of the Legion, were to be educated in two imperial houses, 30d at. Ecouen, and 300 at St. Denis. Another deeree of • the 15th of July, 101 . 0, appointed six other houses, for the reception solely of orphan daughters of Mem: , bers of the Legion. On the 19th of July, three oL theie houies %%ere established, and had (100 pupils. •', The King's ordinance of that date united the honse of Ecouen to that of St. Denis, and besides appointed that the number of pupils should never exceed 4.V, It suppressed the establishments formed at Paris, Barbeaux, and Loges, for the education of orphan daughters of Members of the Legion. He ascribed the measures adopted by his Majesty to motives ok , prudential economy : and in regard to the suppres uion of the houses at Paris, Barbeaux, and Loges, his Majesty had granted an annual pension of 20 francs to each of the pupils till they reached the age of 18. He concluded with proposing a resolution, that there was no ground for taking the petitions into, consideration. M. Lerevne said, the King was not sufficiently informed on the subject. Why were infants of from six to eight years old to be thrown upon the twos? The nation owed to their parents every mark of gra titude. Ile was assured that the expenses of the sup pressed houses were by no means considerable, and that 40,000 Irmo, in addition to the 250 francs allotted by his Majesty, would be sufficient for their maintenance. M. Mittman) enforced the sentiments of the pre. ceding speaker. Doubtless it was the late Govern ment'which established the suppressed houses, but they were asylums into which the daughters of out brave soldiers were admitted. lie moved au address TITLE 111.

FLAUGERGUES reminded the Chamber, that, in point of form, information should be demanded bf the Minister ; the only mode of giving an official form to facts at present menly in the shape of assertions. He was told, however, that the ordinances had been published in the bulletin of the laws. In the sequel of the discussion it was stated, that if the in stitutions in question should be preserved, Madame Delezeau was read to appropriate to their support a large sum ; and that a Marshal of France, avid seve ral superior Officers, had offered for the same purpose a part of their appointments. M. Dumolard's motion was referred so the bureaux. BRUNSWICK, AUGUST S.

According to' private letters, the King of Bavaria has ceded the town of Lindau to the Court of Vienna. It is also stated that Austria has well founded hopes of obtaining all the district on the right bank of the Lake of Constance, and the district of Nellenburg, which proves that she covets also the possession of the Erisgauand Ottenau.
