CLZIIVIT DU Doros, the Secretary, read the internal regulations of the last Chamber, of which :chapter 8 and 4, relatire - to the holding of the sit 4ktga, and the propositions' which may he made, were adopted provisionally. - A Codunittte of nine Members will draw up de regulatioas, and submit them to the Chamber to be discussed. M. MANUEL, Deputy (des' Haute. Alpes) repro bated the production of untimely and sadden pro positions, a if, he observed, a rule had been• ob. served for inscribing at the table the name of the Member, aad_the preposition which he had to submit, we should not have bad the disagreeable task of re jecting a proposition not dictated by wisdom.- - Among such of net Colleagues ' as acquainted and from the PRESIDLNT'S speech it appears probable the responsive will of the Chamber would be ex pressed in flue form on Saturday. This reply may be expected to point out the line of conduct that NAPOLEON ought to pursue, and therefore must be exceedingly important. We shall soon see whether he is inclined to reign as a 66 Constitutional Mo narch." LANJUINAIS will keep him to the text If he can ; but really the hearts of all who stickle for the honour and independence of France, are so devoted to her present Chief, that he appears to have no other restraint to fear than the bounds of moderation and prudence which•he has prescribed ready the French people will be to excuse hit. de parture from the policy he has lately preserted.— There is an article in the Moniteur, from Nantes, which strongly evinces the nature of the sentiments which the conduct of the British Government has excited in the French mind, by the eagerness which it has manifested to excite insurrection in the coun try, and the aid and sanction which it hat .given to the aggressive projects of the Sovereigns of the Con gress. It also gives a picture which we suspect is not far from the truth, of the divisions which actually exist among the Allies, and the troubles that they had much better be employed in quieting in their own were with tie projected motion coma would Bare induced its aethor to renames it, and would hare persuaded b m that it would be most injudicious by indiscreet p opOsitiotis to break the happy accord of national fueling with which the Freath people rallies round its Sovereign." The report of the Committee on the election of the Sub-prefect of Denan, which de clared that Sub-prefects cud Prefects elected by their arrondissements or departments should not be ad *shied to sit in the Chamber, was adopted. ' A Member asked, if the Assembly should not soon bear the Address to the Emperor read; wes it pro to himself. The nation is now roused, and resistance igarnst the threatened oppression and degradation Is breathed with a general indignation. We know we shall be told there are insurrections against the Go vernment in the West, in the North, and in the South. The public ear ha been abused with the most exaggerated falsehoods on this head. Except in La Vendee, where the Sans Culotte banditti of the woods bare been urged on to deeds of outrage and cruelty which have ended in the extirpation of the countries. " That nation" (the English), says the French Paper, " is the only one that we ought to at tack; all France regards the troubles in L 2 Vendee as the commencemence of hostilities on the part of the English. Their Government, the constant enemy of France, seeks to destroy us by. every possible means. As long is a guinea remains in the coffers of the English Minister, and a Slave upon the Contitzent to be boeght with it, Europe will be tormented. It is not- the French people that menace the trial er to leen a long interval between the effusions of the heart of the monarch, and the effusions of the beans of the National Representatives towards the bead of the State ? Should the Emperor be suffered to eat Dot ter the armies, at the head of which he proposes to place himself, without the Chamber har lot expressed to him the sentiments with which they aro asimated towards their Constitutional Monarch. • The Pacsdnat observed, that many projets of Addresses had been given in to the Committee, which it required time to read and appreciate-...what should bi admitted or rejected. A selection judged the most suitable, would, tomorrow, be submitted to the Chamber. 46 I will make known to the Corn most of them, and the death of thee , Chiefs, the ten dency among the French people to cut one another's throats, and desolate their country for.the sake of the Bottasoms, hes been but very MN evinced. --ROGUE JACQUILIN, the Author, ender edr Ministers, end Leader of the Expedition to Vendee, has shared the fate of his Coadjutor, CrtxurrrE.—He has fallen in an engagelnent with the French troops, and his second in com mand, CA DUDEL, has been made prisoner. This is the result of the victory of the Royalists, which the Ministerial Papers trumpeted forth with so much iti+ — The chief insti ,f the insurrecth finality of other States,—lt is the English Go.' vernment, which not being able to reign on the Continent, exerts all its efforts to destroy other Go- ; vernments by scattering about its money, and creat- iog divisions. Why de we not attach the English ? WELLINGTON once beaten, a Revolution might me. naor England. Amtasoch cannot be ignored that ambitions of more than one kind do not make his: long abseflce from St. Petersburgh free from danger. Austria cannot see with indifference the formation of 1 a kingdom in Poland that threatens Gallicia. The Turks are on the watch to seize on the moment to tnd l'- is ibled ide and terte- mitts.," said the President, " the just anxiety of the Chamber." A discussion took place •on the method of pre senting petitions. It was proposed that a Committee should be established, to which all petitions should In the first place be presented. M. Csocamt, and another Member, opposed the propositiea, as being contrary to the Additional Act. M. Suture thought it would be improper to esta blish an intermediary Committee, but the Petitions, when read, might be referred to Committees to eitt vine them. Some Members seemed to fear that the Chamber would be encumbered with Petitions. M. FLAUGUERGES observed, that in the preceding Session nine out of ten Petitions were rejected, as not worthy of consideration. The right, however, of petitioning was of the utmost importance; and the first duty of the Chamber, after the making of laws, was that of watching over the execution of them. hl. Flauguerges then eulogized the form, as to the presentation of Petitions, followed in the English Parliament, which was nearly the same as that established iu the Additional Act to the Conti , The Assembly decided, that all Petitions should be read, and referred, if there was cause, to a Special Committee. M. read a Petition from hi. J. P. Gespard Jeuve, Receiver of the Registration at Seillan, de partment of the Drave. 66 This Citieen," said the orator ' " who is generally esteemed, was denounced to theExtraordinarY Comnsissieear, soul by his Ma jesty in the 7th Military Division, strips sod arrest ed, and pet under the surpeillgrise of the Mayor (I disposition already illegal, sines it could not be de creed het tie the Tribliesla), and transferred on the 111th of May, by order of the Captain of the Gm d'arasetk. Whew the father of M. Jouve, titkioa just interest in the cause, asked why M. JOily, was thus treated was replied, that it was under Orders givea by "the Administrative Authorities. I attest the facts. M. Jeers does not ask to be set at liberty, but to be tried. Gentlemen, to infringe upon the liberty of ouicitisen breaks in on the rights of all." Some Members called for the Order of the Day. The Paestnever observed, that the Petitiou being received by the Chamber, would be taken to the Emperor by the President, according to the terms of the 65th article of the Additional Act. The Chamber adjourned. The following are the days on which the instal. 1/tetttS for the New Loan are to be paid : PAYMENTS. • First Payment Salinity . 17 Jew . .ElO per Grit. 9d Dn. .

Ministers admit this ; and the flame of civil war will not be kept alive much longer, even in the woods of La Vendee, unless it is fed from this country—this is the amount of the "gratifying ad vices" received from the coast of France on Monday, and so faithfully given to their Readers by the hire ling deluders of the Treasury. We feel no triumph in stating this—we lament to hear of men's lives being so uselessly sacrificed—of the troops of the enemy thus arming and providing themselves with the means of hostility at our expence; and we ex press our honest indignation at seeing such misrepre sentations of a lamentable fact sent into the world as gratifying truths—statements which, if true, could not be gratifying to the heart of any one who has a feeling of humanity. • The Moniteur announces the departure from Paris Of the regiments of the Imperial Guard, and of the troops of the line, cavalry and artillery, towards the frontiers of Flanders and Germany ; and that the National Guard, under its own Officers, had taken upon them the sole duty of Paris. Thee we see NAPOLEON is not afraid to leave the capital and France to the care of its own inhabitants—we shall probably see by the next arrival a further confirma tion of the falsehood of the assertion that he dared not show himself on the frontier. We fear that a most erroneous estimate has been made of his means of defence. His force on the frontier already equals the armies collected to oppose him; and the Sore. reigns his enemies have left themselves no other guarantee for his not commencing offensive warfare than his own moderation—the promise of a man who, they say, keeps no promises. that he will abide by a Treaty to which he did not accede ! The fortresses of the Netherlands are not in a state of defence—the French fortresses are. NAPOLEON destroyed the defensive barriers of Belgium when he overran Holland—the French he repaired. Lord CASTLEREAGH has just obtained a vote of an immense sum of money to repair the for tresses of his King of the Netherlands—the Sove reign Dutch Prince who sat in a republic the other day, and now talks, like the rest of the Congress Sovereigns and Louts XVIII., of the " divine right of Kings!" The Belgians, who cannot be supposed to be yet much attached to this right, and have crops of corn to preserve, and some little va luables yet left them, canuot be expected to behold with any great degree of satisfaction contending armies ravaging their fields, and red-hot balls beat ing down their Louses and cities about their ettts--.

It in forms us, that the Swedish General Von Caw Errs, who is arrived at Berlin from Stockholm, is believed to be charged with a very impertant mission, and will repair directly to the head-quarters of the Allied Sovereigns. FRONTIERS OF SWITZERLAND, MAY n.--Gencral Rapp, after having passed some days at Huninguen, is gone back to Strashurgh. Ile is expected to return to li-ninguen, where there is now a garrison of 50ccs Na'ional Guards, and 1000 troops of the line, of all arms. Within these few days the artillery has heels exercised in firing red-hot balls, which is, at least, enough to make us uneasy. We learn further, that it has been announced to the French troops on our frontiers, that immediately upon the return of Ge neral Rapp to Runinguen, they will enter Switzer land, unless the Republic immediately declare fur ttea trality, and gives the guarantee that it *ill not permit the Allied troops to pass through its territory. The redoubts which the French have lately erected be tween Ifuninguen and Basle are now furnished with four 24-pounders, four lrge mortars, and two howitzers. They call easily reach the bridge at Bask. It is remarked that among the pros isions in the ma. wines at Iluninguen there are 800 hogsheads of wine, 800 oxen, corn and flour for two years, and wood for *a year. Si: hundred cows, and as many hogs, now in the place and neighbourhood, are to be slaughtered this week. The Meeting of the Inhabitants of Westminster, in Palace-yard, to consider of the rejection of their Petition by the House of Commons, took place to day, and was' well attended. The Chair was taken by Sir FRANCIS Btatorrt, the High Bai lif having refused to call the Meeting. Major CART- WitIOUT was also present, and the business was pro ceeding when our Paper went to Cress. The Horatio, DISCHARD, from Bithea to Guern sey, arrived at Penzance on the 12th ; she landed Capt. HALL, of the Royal Navy, who proceeded immediately for Llndon, with dispatches. She also landed a French General and several other Officer ' , who are going to join the Royal Party at Ghost.

Prussia a tro& sea—price are the passions that reign in its Cabinet, and Aostrl opposes the augmentation of the Prussian force, as it might prove ominous to Germany. What do the Al lied Powers want ? To strike France out of the fist of nations. Yes; they wish to subject and divide our territory—to give Dauphiny to Piedmont—Lor raine and Alsace to Austria—the Hearst to Spain--e- Avignon, and the Comtat, to the Pope—Guyenne, Bretagny, and our principal sea-ports, to England. Such, Frenchmen, is the plan of the Cabinet of Eng land," &c. The secrets of the Congress which was to esta blish the divine right of Kings to do as they please for ever, are not yet disclosed so as that the world can judge accurately of the projects which were hatching in that hot-bed of ambition and discord— therefore the assertions regarding the intention to par tition France, as above described, may be denied; but we have reason to believe, that the plans laid dawn at Congress were not altogether unknown in France.— The plot whioh gave France to the government of the men who now administer her affairs, was formed and completed in the very presence of the favourite Mi nister and Secretary of Louts XVIII. at a hotel at the 'f huilleries, where Foucas, Canwerr, and others, met to talk over the news of the day, and M. BLACAI, forgetting, perhaps, where be was, and all difference of political opinion, used to tell his story among the rest. But if any suspicion had been entet tained by the Governn.ent of Lours, which we do not say was the case, of an intention on the pert of the other Sovereigns of crippling France, it will be asked why did he not protest against it, and take measures to defeat the ambitious project ? Because, it may be answered, he could nut defeat it—he had not the power to go to war with the Allies. But these meditated abridgments of the French territory may he only the securities required of NAPOLEON, or contemplated as requisite, for his keeping the peace ; —whether they are so or not they will never be conceded by France. Notwithstanding the silence of the Monitor,. on the subject of NAPOLEON'S leaving the capital, we are assured that what we stated yesterday as having been communicated by dispatches from the Duke of WELLINnTON, namely, that the French Emperor was at Lille, is correct, and our sources of informa tion desire us to repeat it with confidence. We can not believe that he would be long absent from his post, after his hands have been so strengthened.

The Lord Mayor presided, in tirtne of his office as Chief Magistrate of the City, and was supported on his right hand by his Royal Highness the Doke of Kent, the President of the Institution. Those pre. sent having partaken of an excellent dinner, and the cloth being removed, Non nobis Domine was sung, after which the King's health was proposed by the President, and drunk in respectful silence. The healths of the Prince Regent, the Queen, the Prin cesses, the Duke of York, followed iu succe.ion ; and after the latter, Burns' noble and patriotic Ode of Scols wha hae zrs' Wallace bled, was sung by Mr. Incledon. . _ The Loran MAYOR, in proposing as a toast, " Ties Memory of those who have gallantly fallen," ex patiated upon the philanthropic nature of the Insti tution, whose object was to provide a religious BA moral education for the children of men who had sacrificed their lives in defence of their country. His Royal Highness the Duke of KrNr, as Presi dent of the Invitation, followed his Lordship, in dwelling more minutely upon the views entertained by the Friends and P,tenes of the Soriety, and warmly recommended, tint only to the compary present, but to the people of England ge , .erary. a cordial and earnest co-operation in support or the benevolent end honourable ohjevs of it. His Royal Highness pronounced a warm eulogium ores the patriotism, moral character, and persevering hi (lustre of the Scottish nation, as welt as upon tl:e splendid achievements which hey had performed i" the military and naval struggles of the Empire, tiSLI concluded by earnestly expressing his hopes that t:'-' result of that day's meeting would be to augment ii.- resources of the Society, which he pledged hilmel should be economically and beneficially applied. A subscription to a 'considerable amount. was iln'll''• diately entered into by the company. Several other toasts were drunk, among which were the Niche.' of Angouleme, proposed by the Duke of Kent; ana the Allied Soverelgns, with success to their en . deavours to establish the Peace of the Continent, by the Lord Mayor. The Meeting did not break up till a late hour ; but daring the whole time the utmost conviviality and harmony prevailed. The Duke of Kent's military band attended, and among the pt.- fessional Gentlemen present were Messrs. Incleifon. i Bellamy, Goss, J. Smith, Leete, piasters Miler an ' t Teresa. ~!
