THE NATIONAL OCT. 15. Minister, observed, it has been considered, from time immemorial, as contrary to the laws of the Monarchy to speak without permission of the King, and I shall take his Majesty's orders thereon. The Duke afterward stated, that the King had commanded the law to be observed, and here the appeal terminated. PARTS, ()CT. I.—The most fortunate periods of the monarchy never beheld a more magnificent and more in teresting cortege than that with which the King was at tended yesterday in his progress from the Palace of the Thuilleries to that of the Legislative Body. Every Frenchman felt with pride that the Majesty of the Throe.., eclipsed for a moment, was on this occasion to be di.ollyed with all its splendour to the eyes of atten tive Europe. The galleries of the Hall, which are usually open for the public, were filled in a moment. The King of Prussia came in about eleven o'clock, and took an obscure seat in the extremity of the upper gallery, on the left of the throne. Nearly 8000 men of the national guard were on foot. On the King's coming out of the Thuilleries in his car riage, in which were likewise the three Princes of his fa mily, the cannon were fired; salutes were again fired on his retiring from the Legislative Body, and on his re-entry into his Palace. Artillerists of the old guard, destined to form a part of the royal guard, served the guns which announced to the capital the most august of all cere- monies. But how is it possible to describe the universal enthu siasm, the beautiful view which the amphitheatre formed by the boundaries of the Valais Bourbon, presented,— the unanimous and lengthened acclamations which burst forth the instant the King's carriage was descried. The shouts of joy came from the heart,—all hearts were united as one. the vows made to heaven, the hats, the handkerchiefs waved by some, the caps of the grenadiers of the national guards hoisted upon their bayonets,—all was employed to express our sentiments, and every object possessed its peculiar eloquence. The ceremony was interrupted for an instant by a re markable incident. We thought we heard one of the Peers, M. de la Bourdonnaye Blossac, add to the pre scribed obligation, saving and excepting what concerns the Catholic religion.' One of the Deputies of the Tarn, M. Domingon, said- 4 Before taking the oath, I ask, from my Lord and King, permission to speak.' A mi•ve ment of surprise was manifested in the assembly. The Duke of Richelieu, after taking the orders of the King, said, According to the immemorial usage of the Mo narchy, no person can speak without the express per mission of the King. The King orders the business to go on.' M. Domingon then simply said, 1 swear.' We are assured, that M. Domingo)) is a Protestant, and that he wished to say, 6 saving and excepting all that concerns religion.' After the ceremony of the installation of the Legisla tive Body, the cotaurs of each legion were conveyed back to the hotel of the staff of the National Guard, by detachments charged with guarding them. General De :ones, on receiving the colours, announced. that the King had commanded him to acquaint them, " That he again found himself with pleasure in the midst of the national, guard of iris good city of Paris, and that he was per fectly sat;sfied with their zeal ; their fine appearance ) and their loyalty." :R. a 9 Theie manifestations of satisfactio'i, so gr,.tifying to the National Guard, were reccived with loud and reite rated cries of Vine le Rui ! is:itnt. l • ;t M. Vaublanc, the new Minister of the Interior, has issued the following plain and energetic address to the prefects of the several Departments, on the necessity of vigilantly per forming their respective duties TO THE PREFECTS OF THE DEPARTMENTS. " GENTLEMEN—The King has been pleased to vitalist me with the portlenille of the Interior. •• " I immediately turned my eye towards you.
