M. GARAT.—Nothing better certainly could hare been obtained under the present circumstances; but, my friends, we are the citizens of a free nation, and we most act accordingly. A similar epoch in England was the means of cementing her liberties.— When the English called William 111, to the throne which they had declared vacant, they seized the happy moment of an interval between two dynasties to give a new sanction to all their rights. Then it was that that famous Declaration appearrl, called the Bill of Rights. It was not a Declaration similar to that one in France under the title of the nights of Matt, neither was it a Constitution, but a law reduced into various articles. It was a shield to prevent the usurpation of William 111. who had himself strove against Louis XI V. and arrested his victories. This Parliamentary statute is the Pharos of British liber ty. 1 have every confidence in the Allies, particu larly the English, to whom we have paid the compli ment of following their example. Yes! we will have the liberty of choosing our own Constitution.— I wish, therefore, at this moment to give the nation something like that Bill of Rights which is the glory atilt English. M Garet then read a series of articles, entitled Declaration of the Rights of the French Pao: pie. • 'l'll STATESMAN. LONDON: : UO/IfiAY. JULY 10, 1813. LOUIS XVIIL IN PARIS, ANIS MUST IMPOR TAINT NEWS FROM FRANCE. We this forenoon received the Paris Papers up to the morning of Friday last, including those of se. venal days the contents of which have not been made public here. We give a hasty, but correct sketch of the mass of intelligence which they contain. The news, under tl►e bead of the Couriers Extraor. %Unary, is the latest and most important. dinary indeed are the circumstances there announced. Though the Houses of the Legislature, who have been denounced as rebels, were in full debate end fall power on Thursday, and had matured a Constitution which one would think a branch of the family of Bouaaosr, who professes to rule by a far different charter, would have some diliculty in acceding to, and though few indications were exhibited that the presence of Louts XVIII. as a Sovereign, would be very agreeable in the French capital, that Prince was expected to enter Paris on Thursday ;right. He was that evening at St. Denis, with his Marshals and Ministers, the Dukes of Taatisvou (Macdonald), BELLUNO (Victor), RAGUSA (MirMOOI), FELTRL, (Clarke), &c. But the most extraordinary par. titular among all the articles of intelligence thus corn. municated is that where we find it announced that the Duke of WELLINGTON hes been giving a grand dinner to the Duke of &raver° (Fouche! !) slid pro bably the rest of the personages whom he was ex pected and most earnestly entreated by the favoured &denotes of general ♦engeance in this country, to suspend as high as Haman ! The British troops were biroueelcg in tents in the neighbourhood of Paris. The Allied Sovereigns are now to seeker Paris, stir) hold their second Congress there, whore their promises of not interfering in the Government of France will doubtless he put to the test by the offering to Loots, their Ally, for his acceptance, the Constitution now co m pleted by the Representatives. It is clear that if he ever again becomes the King of France, he will hold his crown by tt different tenure than formerly, or any of his family have recognised. The Emperor ALCIANDER was to arrive and take op his residence at the Paitui Elysee Bourbon, on Thursday or Friday. It seems arranged that when the Sovereigns should enter, the Representatives and Peers were to retire to the army behind the Loire. The question now is, will the Constitution, drawn op by NAPOLEON'S Chambers, be arrepted by Lours, and will the refusal of it continue the war s ? It Includes a general amnesty to all those concerned In the late revolution, and even rewards and honours ens those who have suffered in it. That peace and the establishment of a solid and honourable guaran tee to the liberties and properties of the French peo. pie, will he the result of the late efforts to maintain them and the present state of things, seems to be confidently and generally anticipated, for the Funds have had an extraordinary rise. From some en. aotountable cause, ours have fallen greatly. NArot.s.on has been allowed to proceed unmolested to Roche . fort, where, it k supposed, he has embark ed (hut whereto is not stated), together eith Gen. BERTRAND and others. Nair is said to have sailed for America, whither also MONAPAUTt Is, in all pro bability, gone. PARIS, JULY 4.—The Convention with Lord Wellington is inserted; then follows a decree in the name of the French people to the effect of* vote of thanks to the Army of the West, signed by the Coco tnittee of Government. A second decree is also given, thanking the soldiers, who so bravely defended the approaches to the capital. The Committee of Go.' refitment hare ordered the ;Minister at War to make immediately a report upon the recompenees necessary to be made to the soldiers of every rank in the French army. Napoleon passed through Tours on the 30th of June, accompanied by the Duke of aorigo (Savary), and Generals Bertrand and Becker. NATIONAL GUARD OF PARIS. ORDER OF TIM DAT, JULY 4. A Convention has been mule with the Allied Posers to stop the effusion of blood—the people will remain without alarm, and remain in (hot firm and peaceable attitude which they have preserved in the midst of dangers. The Polk@ of the city is confided to the National Guard, under my order, as Go. • senior of Paris. Continue to guard yourselves 'from ale appshen. sions, repel all dissensions, put down ittl tumultuous assemblies ; but, above all, take especial rare to pre- M. MArruar. stated that the Committee of Go. verument were occupied in (he same way, and moved that the proposals of M. Garat should be sent to that Committee. On this a long discussion ensued, in which BAR. RUE, and many other celebrated characters took part. The debate ended in the proposal being re ferred to a Committee composed of Solignac, Ctrs. chon, Renault, and Sibuet. M. PENIERES.--I move that the tricoloured flag and the national colours be placed under the guard of the fidelity of the army, the National Guards, and the Citizens—carried by acclarnatiew. M. JAY.—The Government yesterday communi. cated to you some very important pieces, which ought to be printed for public use.—This proposal was seconded, and a long debate ensued, in which it was stated and confirmed on all sides, that during the late negociations for the Convention in order to avoid the effusion of blood, the whole population, as well as the army, called out that they despised the number of enemies, and like the Lacedemonians, were ready to perish amid the ruins of their country. M. LEPELLETIER.--I demand that the two PM.. cram:itions of Louis XVIII. be publicly dispersed.— It is necessary that France should know what be promises, and what he tbrestens. General Sortatene...4 second the motion with all my heart. It is necessary that those persons who imagine that the return of Louis XVIII. would pro duce a paternal Government, should be convinced that his Proclamations promise completely the coo- trary. A Committee of ire was appointed to decide on this. At five o'clock M. Garet produced the following Declaration of Rights : Art. 1. All paver emanates from the people.—The sovereignty of the people is composed by the rights of the people. 2. The division of power is the principle the most necessary to the preservation of liberty. 3. The Legislative Power in France is composed of three different elements—a Rouse of Repre sentatives, an Upper Chamber, and a Monarch. 4. In the originating . laws, the proposing, sane tinning, and opposing >them, belongs equally to the three branches of the Legislature. No law can exist but by the onion of the whole. The public contri butions, the raising troops, a t.J the election of a new dynasty, belong exclusively to the Repre. sentatives of the People. 5. The Executive Power is exercised by Ministers only, each one solidly responsible for the acts of his Department. 8. The Prince is inviolable. In case of the viola. Lion of the law, the Ministers shall be impeached by the House of Representatives. They shall be judged by the Upper Chamber. 7. Nothing can be done against personal liberty, but by the law. 8.
