I N. LO NpON: itreso,ty, OCTOBER 17, 1815. We have received another day's French Papers of the 14th, the pi features of %hit h are the pro endings in the Chambers el the Peers and Deputies, and they are certainly important. The President, M. Luger,. of the Chamber of Deputies, tors given a strong earnest of his pliahitity to the stew order of I things; and in this he is fully supported by his col. !rogues. The Charter, it will be seen by hi. letswa's speech, is to be the grand palladium of future French liberty; end the only emptiest of the Deputies will be to enregister the acts 4 Royal authority, as was done previous to the Essen. lotion. There is net even a shadow of opposition to the course which has been chalked out for them to pursue, as the President tells them they must not judge of Kings, but that Lousy the Desired must be surrounded with all the strength of which he stands in need, to hake France respected and public Insert) protected. The Peers have not yet proceeded to any public business, except voting an Address to the King; but from all appearances there can be no doubt of their acting in conformity to the King's wishes.— Both Houses are now chiefly composed of the branches of the Blood Royal and ancient Nobility of France. to the exclusion of the Revolutionists, Philosophers, and Patriots of France. The terms of the Peace have not yet been pro ! claimed, which are to bind France in chains ; pro. belly it has not received its last formality. The sanction of the Legislative Chambers, and of the French people themselves, anti a union of resistance to the terms imposed, may he a policy not so far dis. tent from the contemplation of the French Ministry as some may apprehend, who entertain the opinion that they can have either honour or satisfaction in sealing the degradation of their country. -a-- On the points which most concern Europe, the sentiments of the Chambers are-yet unknown, be yond the very moderate and circumspect address • moved by the Dec de la Veer:recto, the discussion on which it has not been thought punier to lay be fore the public. The Chamber of Peerage's, to be presided over in a most special emitter by Royal authority. The Chamber has been formed into six ' division, or Committees, four of which are presided by Princes of the blood.

The most interesting point which engaged the at. tentionof the Ilnuse of Deputies yesterday (the WO), and epon which the opinions are divided in the Upper House as well as in this, is that of taking the oath to the Charter. The Ultra. Royalists, two of whom interrupted the Royal Sitting at the opening of the Boole, to protest against it, insist upon comfit'. ing their oath of allegiance to the Ring's person, as was dose last year on the first presentation of the Charter to the two Houses. The oath presented this year is extended to the Charter, a circumstance which modifies materially the duties binding on the subject, and which may be considered as an addi. Bona' concession on the part of the Crown, or re. titer as the completion of that afforded by the Char. ter. In the Upper House there appears a decided majority in favour of this new form of oath, the Duke de Berri himself urging strongly the necessity of it. There are but two Peers who persevere in rejecting it, M. de la Bourdonnaye de Blossac and M. Jules de Poiignitc. In the House of Representatives there appears to Mist a less constitutional feeling, the majority in. clining very mach to the rej.ction of the oath in its present terms; in the sitting of yesterday an elide. station was called for by a few Members, from those who hai proposed taking the oath with restrictions. A motion was also made that the Members should individually sign a written oath of allegiance to both King and Charter. This delicate question was de bated for some time, but with ne other result than th a t of l ea vi ng the point quite undecided. In the mean time the Members who reject the oath in its present shape, keep their seats, and participate in the deliberations, whilst others who are litigiously objected to, on account of some supposed saws in their qualifications, are in consequence suspended. It is to be observed, that, on the King's late re. tore, the peeeniery qualification for a Deputy was to be regulated by the amount of direct contributions or taxes which he paid to the State. This amount was fixed by Miiiisters at a thousand francs per annum, a sum which implied a considerable income on the part of the candidate, and exceeding the. qua. Ocelots hitherto required. It was conceived that this sere would ezclude the mass of the Constitu tionalists, which effect, however, has not been corn. plately produced; and hence the rigour with which this part of the qualification is scrutinized. 4 IIIE STATESMAN. sills, Ch. de DOM 041; Dukes de Duras, Rages., journed till to-morrow at one o'clock, to sit i n Fttzjames; Marquises de Maths'', d'Aligte; cret Committee. nuel Dentin ; Prince de Cloak's. • Tie Commission charged with presenting s p m.

At hart-pest 1 1 2 o'clock, the Deputies having left * their bureaux, and assembled in the Hail, the Pax storsv romv pronounced the Sitting open, and made the following Speech : I " Grmastas,—The prevailing sentiment el the French people, that which absorbs your touts, si lences is me even the pride of gratitude. It &- rives me at least of the faculty of expressing as could wish, that which I owe to your honourable votes—who could, indeed, Gentlemen, in the midst of public misfortunes, entertain any other thought, and form any other wish than that of ameliorating the calamities which for near eight ' months have overwhelmed France and its King.— A great hope is given to accomplish this end by the onion of all hearts, and of a frank and determined resolution to save the State. The solemn oath taken in this place by all the Legislative Body, gives us reason to believe that discussions upon great potiti cal questions are at length terminated by that Charter hich unites so many opinions, and inssres so many interests. Thus, Gentlemen, however great the evils which desolate our country, let us cherish the hopes hich it found upon us • let us learn from adversity the lessons of wisiom and jostice.—By setting such examples as the nation expects from its Representa tives, let us show that a common misfortune unites minds, elevates characters, and soon all Frenchmen rill make it be seen that they also know how to ob. lain victories over themselves, so mach the more ho. nourshle as they do not afflict humanity. " Let us leave, Gentlemen, let us leave to God, who scourges this people, to judge Kings; but let us surround our King with all the strength of which he stands in need, to extinguish discord, make France respected, and public liberty protected." Much applause was heard, which the President was eeger to repress. FIENCLI FUNDS-5 per Cents. 5$ f. 20 e, By our lett , .rs from Normandy to the 14th instant, W find, that there is not at present at Rouen a siv e E glish or Prussian soldier, but a detachmen k ce lhe latter was daily expected on their progress 1 - ''t to. wards the opposite frontier. It is mentioned in oos of them, that the British cavalry, to the numbe r o f 1500, had left Rouen with marching orders for Dieppe; on their way, they determined to visit Ha sse de Grace. The Commandant of that port havin g pis instructions to receive them, closed the gate s , se r„,,d to admit them, and the detachment proceeded on former destination. CARNOT has received passports from the Emperor of firsst 4, the Emperor of AUSTRIA. and the King of Num 4. He declined them for the pr.s. n t, and remains upon his estate. The Emperor of ILLSSIA tc said to have sent him a letter of nfeguard, in which he guarantees his security. A great quantity of produce had been °Here , ' by Penne', with the view to the manufactore of cot ass and other articles. These orders had been molted, under the apprehension th't whew this produce had !Pen converted into manufactures it Would be seized by the Allied troops for their own use. The rove s . sire withdrawing of the forces has removed all feu, of that kind, and the orders so annulled, are now renewed. No doubt now remains of the failure of PORLlca's attempt. It appears he could not get his soldiers to fight, becanse.he hail no money to par th e m, hat some of his Officers defended themselves in the most desperate manner before the; were taken. It is reported that PC/IMM and 100 principal followers were first sent to the prisons of the Inquisitioa of Santiago for security, and then transferred to the Castle of San Anton, at Corunna. The fate that awaits this daring youth may naturally be expected; but we conceive, the day is not far distant, when the name of Pout= will be as deer to Spaniards as that of SYDNLY is to Englishmen. What has been the general effect produced throughout the Peninsula by this attempt and failure, it is. f r the want of &deices, impossible yet to state, but Fries. wawa seems to have caught the alarm, and dism seed his two bosom friends, O , TOLAZ A and CAM° the two most obnoxious persons that surrounded h.. per son. The first, it will be remembered, acronin ,, ied FCRIHNAND to Valency, escaped, and defend d the fn:tuisition in the Cortes at Cadiz, where be prey had his sermon, telling the people hie King and master spent his time, during his elite, in embroiderio: robes for the Virgin. CASTRO, a Friar, was the Editor of the Alalaga de la Mancha, a Paper pros tituted to support the measures of FraousAro, and excite vengeance against the Liberates. The activity of CASTRO obtained for him the confidence of the King. A Minis:ft.—l move that the speech of the Pre sident he inserted in the proses-rcrbal,and six copies printed, as perfectly expressing the sentimeots end dispositions of the Chamber.—This motion was adopted. The President communicated to the Assembly a Message to the following import : " Park, Ott. It 1615. " The Chancellor of France, President of the,Charn. her of Peers, to the President of the Chamber of Deputleit:— " Me. Par.stortr,—T have the honour of address• ine to you, conformably to the King's orders, the copy, certified by one of the proces verbal which I have drawn np by the orders of his Majesty, of whet took place at the Royal Sitting of the 7th inst. , in order that you may communicate it to the Cham ber of Deputies if you think it necessary. " Accept, Mr. President, the assurance of my very high consideration. " The Chancellor of France, (signed) IYAMBRAY." The proccs verbal a as read by one of the Secre taries, after which the President declared that it should be deposited in the archives of the Chamber, and inserted at the head of the proces verbs= of the The Doke of NORFOLK, we are sorry to state, stilt ,continues very HI.

After having announced that the bureaux is occu pied with the revision of the Messages, by which the Chamber is to make known to the King and to the Chamber of Peers, that it is definitively consti tuted; the Parstnexr made a motion for the autho rity of the Chamber to enable him to take in its name the orders of his Majesty, for the purpose of learning who shall administer the oath to the Depu ties who have not been able to assist at the Royal Sitting. Miss Nagy, who is to make her debut before: London audience on Wednesday, in Polly, is. *0 understand, one of the most beautiful young woofs that ever ezhihited on the stage.
