'What city 'surpasses Lyons its generosity-? ! We received-from it. nothing .but the must !to nottrahle testimonies of its devotedness, up to the last moments of its liberty: This snccess.of the enemy, far font having checked the ardour of tither provinces, has inspired them with new ardour. • The. denartments of the Saone and Loire, of the Cote-d'Or, -of the_ Nievre, the Daubs, the Met:rate,' the Manse,- the Aube, the - Upper Marne, the Seine and Marne,. the Lower Seine, Calvados, &c. In a word, all.those who have: had time to .e!.)(1 their addresses, are emulous in admirable testimonies of their fidelity. • The cities rival the departments in z.:al; we are busy in collecting. these at•turesses, to consecrate. for ever a 1110;- sumsent of courage, and Of ; hatred to tyranny ; yes, what Frenchmen %you'd:bear to see the,days of oppression a.ild.perfidy return ? They.are:pass ed, and horroris the only _sentiment they have left behind them. It is enough that we have to Lament -the treaso4 of "some warriors ; France wishes 'only to posses tbe,defenders of its• liberties ; she disown- and proscribes for ever- those unnatural Ilearts, who (lure to sacrifice her to vile interest. We speak it with shuddering, amidst 4111' our caliunities a. national glory belonged to us ; we owed it to-our armies ; we presented, them with pride to fo reigners ; we loved to recollect their triumphs, and that - admirable generosity which jutpdled them to:march front pole to pole, whenever there was danger ; why, amongst this -race or heroes, : must we now count some who are, faithless, and deserters - amongst the pillars of the natio:nil glory. ? Let. us - lament this with thok traly French soldiers, who, at all times, have known oaly to shed their blood for their country who always fa:shful to her voice, and strangers to all discords, wished only to serve and die for het..— They will now avenge their country, which it is Ivished to enslave, and their glory which some Lave dared to obscure : all the Chiefs point out to their brethren in arms the path of honour; each is at his post, ready to march at the voice of the country. Already the Marshal de Trevise has informed his corps d'arin6 of the perfidy of our enemies, and all the troops led astray have returned tinder the standards of honour. General Daboville has not seen one faithless among his men ; all of them repelled the traitor who dared to tewipt their fidelity. Marshal Ney is collecting his legions, and dis plays in this cause that firmness of character and fit principle which always.distingui,heditim, Marshal Alacdonald, after having performed pro digies, and attempted impossibilities at Lyons, brings back to tile King his talents, and tin'il-cha „Lucr cif loyaity and honour, which renders hint equally dear to France and the army.. OltdinOt is at the head of those grena d:t:Tsl of . France, .of that illustrious oh! guard so rif•nowned in Europe, and which has reserved to itself the 04 . ;t'y of being the. model and examp l e of all the armies ; faith fUI to their king, iin d, their Chief, who is equally covered with, scars opcl xvith glory ; we she'll sve thew itiweb to the aid of their• country, and I epres by their renown ‘s . e 1 as by their arms, .aN who shall wickedly hesitate. - Marshal D'Albtifera only requires _to be liapie!l to inspire the sione continence in, France, aofLin,-the armies.. The whole . sees only defenciers; the provinces, al: cities, tL: ; Generals, Oficety, sahliert, all reject the enemy who bring,s us foreign war, civil war, slavery, and death. It is for von, Gentlemen, to second this noble ardour; decree, or rather cow. firm, that ger.eral rising of the friends of liberty ; all Frenchmen reply to the voice of Government, let theokbear yotir's also; a zeal so generons cannot be too highly•praised ; . let all the names which dis tinguish themselves in this glorious cause, ierihed 'in - Stour a nnal s . be in- Already the King has-diffused his bounty among the-officers - and troops who gave the first proofs of fidelity :.let theneknow from you how much they lutve.deserved of the.eountry. Is that man aware 'of alI the resources of liberty, who has known so well those of servitude ? Does he know what a nation-can do that is,•animated. by its rights, and 'commanded by a Prince whom .no difficulty alarms, to whom danger affords only a trial Of . coinage ? It is no t un d er suc h a Ki ng t h at France is to be conquered, us• leave the enemies of liberty to accuse the .mildness of Government. Nations are not courageous in proprirtion to their servitude ; there iatt - generosity Which belongs only to freemen, and which produces heroes ; France will afford an eternal example of this : if while under tyranny she could conquer Europe, bow brave will she be in combating under liberty ?. Let us be United, Gentlemen, aml in a - moment we shall hehold the disappearance of -this senseless enterprise, which s iii make its partisans blush; and' will only be a new proof of the excellence of our new laws, and. of 'that 'paternalGovernment ‘vhich the King hasde rived-from his.own heart."

Pensions shall be given to thesoldiers Wounded, and to thie•families of ;those who arc killed, in combating Napoleon Buotiaparte. 4. The two Chambers shall; without delaY, take into con sideration the means' of filling np the vacancies in the Chain ber .oi-Deputies of Departments. • Given at Paris, iniour Castle of the Thuilleries, this 13th of March, 1815, and of our reign the 20th. On the proposal of the President, .grounded on the urgency.of the case, the Chamber ordered the ptan of law to be laid before the Committees for instant deliberation. • The President 'then declared, that the Minister of imitate for ties War Department had also com munications to make to the Chamber, and that two of its Members demanded to submit propo sitions to it, The Duke of FELTIIE.—The Chamber has wish ed to bear from my mouth some details relative to my Department ; but Gentlemen will reatllilayabaell neve, that havin g h e ld the office for only 24 hour s , I haVe not been ena bl e d to arrange i n my head that would be interesting to cOmgiunicate. it is certain that the loyalty of General Lions has - fcausedthe failure of one of the Most dan gerous means of him who is the terror of every man who loves the liberty of his country. This odious machination commenced in the South of France, spreads its threads even to the depart. went of the north.. The hand of . God appears astg have conduetiNl thith er t h e D u k e of 'Trevi s o, if by miracle, in order to defeat it. Directed-by Lefebvre. DesnonetteS, a body of troops was to have advanced ore NoVon and Paris; and there to have caused the greatest disorders: . 1 .1..he! , e troops however, "ere ignorant of what they were doing, ev.n when about : possessing themselves Of the important arsenal of La Fete: hurt presently being undeceived they' re-entered the path of duty. Thus, gentlethen,' in the north the soldiers have generally manifested a right spirit, atid Can cause no dimuletude either to the King or the nation. It is not the same with the troops which were at :Lyons. 'We ought to have reckoned on the important depot of Grenoble, and on the prompti tude of the departure of the Princes. An unexz. erected defection rendered insufficient all the Means attempted to oppose the movement which placed Lyons in the power of the enemy of the country ; for certainly there was no insufficiency of courage. Too much praise cannot be given to the Princes who wished to make a - complete resistance and it was only on account of fortuitous .eiretint stances, - that it became necessary to renounce a perseverance which could lead to nothing. In fact, there was a total want' of artillery. • It was natural to take. it from Grenoble, the nearest depot. There was nothing disposable, except a little, powder, and a wretched piece of - cannon which had been abandoned by the Austrian army, it was therefore impossible to resist, especially when the garrison of Grenoble had been guilty of the defection of which I complain. I.iut the troops who are moeing•from the north at this moment, slim the best spirit. Measures have been taken to defeat those au dacious attempts on French fidelity and liberty : they are in execution at this moment, and I hope they will have the success which the nation has a right to expect front the vigilance of its Go vernment. Some news have caused just alarm, and gave notice of the danger in which the capital might have been placed by the odious treason of Gene ral Desnouttes. The King, incapable of deceiv ing any body, learned with grief a proceeding F. 0 unexpected. His Majesty offered to we the porte feuille of the War-office :it would have been. cowardly to refuse it 'tiller circumstance s so painful. I did not fear to answer this honour-; able confidence, because I felt assured •that I should be faithful to my duties, as during my 1:13 'whole lif e I h ave be en faithful to all 14 eng Culi At these rrorils of the Minister the most 'lirelv acclamations burst forth front all quarters. The President. —Howe ver pure those sentiments rnay be which have just been displayed, • I must appeal to those regulations which forbid all marks Of approbation or disapprobation in this misetn bly. If those marks are repeated, I must clear the house. 1 come now to the communications which I have to make to the Chamber. Here the Minister added, that the last report Just received, announced that the enemy of France had obtained no further successes : that although it had happened that sortie of the military had been seduced to betray the King ard the Nation, yet the zeal and fidelity of the numerous corps which covered Paris, and the honourable devoted ness of the brave 'national guard, were sufficient to reassure every mind. lle also announced, that the two Generals, Lallemand, and 10 individuals, some of whom were •Aidesde , Cainp, accomplices with them, being vigorously pursued by the gendarmerie, had been taken and delivered over to a court-martial, which would'pronounce against them the punish, merit due to their crime. • -One of the Deputies asked the Minister, if he could give any information as to the troops at Metz and Besancon ? The Duke of Feltre declared that he could not speak too favourably of the attachment and tide lity of those troops—of that erld guard which the King proposed' to employ with the Moi.e• confi dence, because it had never brought a stein 011 French honour. in fine, the telegraphic dispatches which have been transmitted are perfectly encouraging. - ac to the movement of troops, continued the Minister, the Chamber will excuse my entering into detail, ak i ijpight furnish a clue., ••• I have nothin g joadd, Gentl emen , except that there are measures which are .necessary in the crisis in Which we stand ; but they must emanate from you. The Ministers cannot do every thing. The wishes of the Nation are even more powerful than all which the King could not merely f or his own preserv at i on , it for the happiness. of the people. The Duke of Feltre having .descended from the Tribune, the President invited one of the Mem bers (whose name Was on the list) to'make a pro= position to. the Chamber. - M. Delhortne.—Gentlemen, the Ministers of the King have prese n t e d to t he Chamber the pro ject of a law to which I propose tu add an amend ment, of which I regret that I cannot develope the motives : hut without doubt you will find that it jusAes itself : it is tbis— __ "The Chamber of Deputies declares that the deposit-of the national charter and •of the public liberty, is entrusted to the fid e li t y an d courage of the army, of the national guards, and of all the citizens." The President consulted whether the Chamber would take into consideration the proposition of M. Edlionne. The Abb6 De Montesptiou.—We can declare in the name of his 11.lajesty, that the Government entirely adopts the proposed addition. The Chamber declared unanimously that it would token into consideration the - alncnarnent proposed by M. Delhorme, and ordered that • it should be immediately referred to the Committee. M. Lajord (of...the Seine). subluitted to the Chamber a proposition, tending to secure the payment of the pensions to the military Members of the Legion of Honour. It was taken into consideration, and will be im mediately debated in the Committee. • One of the Secretaries,read the following Peti tion addressed to the Chamber : Gentlemen, we offer ourselves to the King an d the Country. The School of Law, in a body, asks leave to march. We will not abandon either our Sovereign or our COnsititution. Faithful to French honour, we ask for arms. The feeling of affection which we bear to Louis XVIII, saver for the constancy of our devotedness. We Want no' more chains : we want liberty. 'W have it : they come to rob us of it. \V will de. fend it even to death. !'ice le Roi 'five la Con stitution .1" This Petition was honourably received, and re ferred to the Government.

[ARRIVED THIS MORNING) • (Tram the 21 - loniteicr of the 15th.) • The Prince of Illoskwa (Ney) was on the 18th at •Lons le Saulnier, directing upon Lyons a corps of troops of the line and national guards, animated with the hest spirit, and impatient to , measure swords with the troops of Buonaparte. Some scouts of this troop have appeared in the environs of Macon and Chalons.
