C oilepenatnet-41:it envy ttlake IVell l Napoleon is tioci , to yat drily ititis trivas am; Place youtsvlves ) therefote, in pm,sition toacvalt a reply Which must he Favour= nble to gout libettles, , if, as a Ring •of France ont said , f ,, - root.l,faith has its last asylum in the Least of Kings. Vroclaim the wish of the immense majority bf the French ; that your negotiators may not hear It said, that France desires a cannter-revolutiOn. " Recollect that in 1814, when turope, id 160 :rte. ptecipitated Napoleon from the throne, 'the initiative which one city took in, the events Made a Government to be imposed upon you, which Russia and Austria had not thought of. " ft is not doubtful that an invisible hand 'en." Iteavours to influence the negotiation of your Am bassadors ; that mvisible hand has weighed upon the interests of Europe ; it has found them con trary to those of the faction which it serves ; it knows that Europe can have no interest to impose 'upon you a government similar to that with which Ferdinand VII. oppresses Spain; it knows that Austria- and Russia may still pl'onounce for France; bun that parricidal -liand ivis - hes, by a system of • tliscunragement, falsehood; and ambiguity, to tender It impossible for you to-await the result of your negociations. - "Sou hare been told that yon bad no longer army, ,and•that all 'Was lost. ; that your sol diers,. discouraged-, were disbanding, and would •fig:lt no longer: these reports were pot into the mouths of certain Generals tO'give them weight -; the report of your colleagues - proves that all this. is false. • " You have seen told that 100,000 enemies 'were advancing against you by forced marches; this also is false. Even at the commencement of the tatioraign, the English and Prussian armies were not 'estimated at more, and the battles of I?leurus and Waterloo cannot have increased their strength ! " Those who are the least acquainted with the art of war, are aware that they are only the heads of columns which now menace Paris. Your forces are al least equal to those opposed to you, and would be double, if you added to them the fede ' rates and the sound part of the national guards. With such elements, commanded by the defender o f H ani b ur gh, can you not await, and save the glory of the French name ? Far from me be the idea of seeing Paris exposed to the horrors of a defence; but we MUSE not assume a suppliant at titude when there are still men who know how to +combat, who can and will do so. We must not, hesidrs, look upon Paris as all France. " Let us not conceal, Gentlemen, what would 'Le the situation of France, •if they succeeded in imposing upon you the Bourbon family.. The Lead of that family, however willing to do_good, could not even effect it ; the multitude of creatures 'dot accompany him would necessarily hold back his hands. - Promises would be given you, but would not be kept. All who for these 25 years have foughtfor lrherty, those in particular who have • combated latterly, would be considered as rebels; their success, .their misfortunes, would Le. passports to proscription. The purchasers of national property, for Ming so large a mass of the nation, would - be violently despoiled. The pea sants woald be oppressed by the petty lords. Do our enemies suppose, then, that the men of the revc.hition are cowards.? They have placed their hopes in Royal Vendees, and they do not consider that there will he patriotic Vendies. Do they suppose that the hitter can be kept down by the presence of foreign troops ? Ah ! Gentlemen, those who like ourselves were garnisaires .in Spain, know that the presence of the hest garrisons is insufficient to subjugate a people." He concluded with moving, that five Repre sentatives be constantly with the armies, not to interfere with the military movements, but that the world might see that they knew nothing more glorious than to die forthe country. . On the motion of M. Gorree, the above speech was . ordered to be printed, sent to the depart ments and armies, and posted in Paris. • M. Jacotor then appeared at the tribune, in the came of the Committee charged to draw up an address to the French people. He stated, that the Committee unanimously adopted the following:— . " Frenchmen,—The Foreign Powers proclaim ed, in the face of Europe, that they were only armed against Napoleon : that they wished to re spect our independence, and the right- which be longs to every nation to choose the Government suititble to its manners and its interests. " Napoleon is no longer the Chief of the State; be has renounced the throne, and his abdication has been accepted by your Representatives. He is .removed front us. His Son is called to the em pire by the Constitutions of the State. The co alesced Sovereigns know that. The war ought then to be terminated, if the promises of Kings be not vain. " However, while Plenipotentiaries. have been sent to the Allied Powers to treat for peace in the tine of France, the• Generals of two of these powers have rtfused any suspension of arms. Their troops have hastened their march, under the fa vour of a moment of trouble and hesitation. They atc at the.gates of the capital without any com munication having informed us for what object the war is continued. Our plenipotentiaries will soon declare wlte tlher we must renounce peace. In the mean time r e . s ir,tance is as necessary as . legitimate ; and lin -I,aulty, in requiring an account of the blood use iessi) shed, will not accuse those brave men w h o of, ly combat to repel from their homes the scourges of war, murder, and pillage —to defend with i heir lives the cause of liberty, and of that•iudepend enee, the itnprescriptible right of which has been g ,,„ u r c ed to them even by the manifestoes of their enemies. • Amiust these grave_circumstances, your Re presentatives cannot forget that they - were, not chosen to stipulate tor the interests of any party whatever, but fur the whole nation. Every act of slrealiness, while dishonouring them, would Only serve to compromise, during a long period, tf,e lutnre tranquillity of France. In. the mean line, then, that the Government is employing all tlle, means for obtaining a solid peace, what more advantageous to the nation can be done, than to 'Collect and estal)I1511 die ?iidattontat at monareLical and repretrentativt. G . overnatenf, deS , tined to secare to all chit eus Cot free enjoyment Of those saaed rights Which I,adriiies SO nume rous and so great have purchased and to rally for ever, under the national colours, that great body of Frenchmen,. who have no othef interest, and no other %visit, than to enjoy an honourah-le repose and a just independence, °P• Meanwhile, the Chambers conceive, that their duty and their dignity require them to de ., Clare, thst they will- net'er acknowledge as legi timate Chief of the State, he who, on ascending the throne, shall refuse to acknowledge the rights of the nation, and to consecrate them by a solemn compact. The ConstitutiOnal Chart is drawn up; and if the force of arms should succeed in tempo rarily imposing upon cis a inaster---if the destinies of a great nation are again to he delivered up to the caprice and the arbitrary,will of a small num . - ber of privileged persons, then, in yielding to force', tl►e National Representation will protest In the face of the whole world, in support of the oppressed French people. • ", Your Representatives will appeal, to the energy of the present, and, future generations to renew their claim both to national independe►►ce and the rights of civil liberty, For these rights they now appeal for the. justice and the reason of all civilised nations.'' The above address was adopted -amidst loud applause, and ordered to be seat to the Chum'act of Peers. SITTING OF THE 3Ei OF JULY CONTINUED. The President.—Almost ull the Committees have finished their lahours on the Constitution. The Central Commission - - labours _without inkr mission. There'being no other order of the I propose ,to the Assembly to lot m itself into Committees. M. Felix Desportes...4 demand to 'he heard: diiquieting rumours are in circulation. 'The formation of Committees was called fur. M. Felix • Desportes insisted. M. Sibuet demanded to be heard on the steps taken to ac celerate the work of the Constitution. A number of MeMbers called for the formation into Com mitteeS. - -M. Perrin.—How, • Gentlemen, due of your colleagues wishes to discourse wit.. yin on the public safety, and you re fuse to hear him ! ThePi'esident.—The public safety consists in the_ speediest completion of the Constitution. The Chamber resolved that M.- Desportes shou v ld not be heard. The President proposed to the Chamber to go into Commit tee, and wait a message from the-Government. M. Sibuet insisted upon a hearing on the course of the de liberations. After sonic general remarks, be spoke of the , arrangement of a plan of a constitution relative to the.Pecrage • and Hereditary Succession. . /sli sides cailed for the going into the Committee. The President.--The Committee has received several amendments on the subject which M.Sibuei wishes to discuss; it is employed about them they will be the object of its first report. A constitution ought. to he a whole, whose separate parts are co-ordinate. Every part of it ought to' be essen tially co-relative. M. Berenger, and other Members, insisted on a hearing. The Chamber determined to go into Coinniittee, and wait the message from Government. At five o'clock the sitting was resumed. • The President.—l conic froM a conference with the Coni mission of Government, of thi-ee quarters of a❑ hour. An interesting message will be addressed to you. Affairs are no t yet regulated : tkey will presently be in order. I propose to the Chamber to meet this evening at half-past seven o'clock: A great number of voices,-- 7 No, no, a permanent sitting. M. Cambon deinar ded that it should be first ascertained whether they were in sufficient numbers to geliberate. The President renewed the assurance which he had given relative to the expected message from GovernMent. The Chamber suspended its sitting till half-past seven. At eight the sitting was resumed. The President.—There is yet nothing definitive, there is nothing dttermined. Several Members demanded to be heard: The President.—Several MeMbers have made me observe that a greiit number of strangers have intruded into the hall, and ha've taken their seats among the Representatives of the people. I order them instantly to depart : the persons who shall be found not to belong to the Assembly shall he con ducted to the guard-house. A long disturbance prevailed in the Assembly. The ushers passed along the lines of the benches. The President—There is one certain method of determining that there shall be no strangers among us : I. call upon the whole Assembly to go out from their scats: no body shall enter except on shewing to the ushers the medal of 1815.. This arrangement was adopted, and immediately put into execution. All-the Members of the Assembly having re-entered and resumed their places, the President announced the arrival of a message frOm the Government, who demanded that it should not be laid before the Chamber; any more than the documents which accompanied it, except in secret Committee. The President called upon the spectators to withdraw fro►n the galleries. The Chamber went into secret Committee; this Committee did not rise till 2 o'clock this morning. The result has not been mane public. NATIONAL GYARD OF PARIS. To the Editor ty` the Moniteur. Paris, July 3, 1815. Mr. Etwron,—Pamphlets and addresses, withokt signature, attributed to the National Guard, hare been spread abroad with profusion for some days. The agitators, no doubt, hoped that by calumniating its intentions they should succeed in destroying the estimation which it has acquired, and which keeps them in awe. But it is in vain that they hare flattered themselves with success in this culpable design. A stranger to all Tallies, essentially interested in the maintenance of order and public tranquillity, the National Gua►'d of Paris will constantly fulfil the object of its institution, and will never show itself factious. I call-upon you, therefore, Mr. Editor, to make known, by Means of you! Journal, that it formally disaVows all such productions. Accept, Mr. Editor; the assurance of myilistinguished con sideration.

Government has teceiceti intelligence that Dun kirk has returned to the authority of its legitimate Sovereign, anti has hoisted the White Flag. A French boat arrived at Deal yesterday morning, bringing Dispatches to the Admiral and the French Ambassador, with 'the Official News of this evelit. Our Private Letters state.that it was the result of a burst of loyalty in the citizens, who rose against t.f.e garrison, and, after a serious af fray, expelled all the Rebel Soldiery from the town. The following appeared in a Second Edition of Tas SUN yesterday. We have nothing to add to it ; nor has Government received any accounts of the apprehension of BuoNarAaTE " A Letter has certainly been received from a Gentleman of good credit at Rouen, dared 3d July, and addressed to the House of Messrs, SIORDETIMd CO. in the City. The Postscript is in the following words : " P. S.=--130!)NAARTE 111 happily heti) arrest ed in his flight—and thus end the Calamities of the lirorld." If the word herehad followed the word arrested, SD authentic• might this information 6e considered, as to leave no doilbt of the fact being as stated : as it is, the only reason that could 'induce the slightest hesitation in believing it, is the absence of this preci4e specification. The hurry of 'the moment may, however, account for this omission, and the probability of the occurrence renders it extremely credible. . Rouen is on the road to Havre, whence BuoNAratITE was expected to at tempt his escape ; as two vessels were waiting, there for'sorne Person.!' ic Morning Paper says, that a letter has also beets received front Havre of the 3d, which states .that two of his (RuoNAPAETE's) Agtiits, one a General Officer (Marshal BERTRAND it is supßos ed) arrived at Havre on Monday morning, forthe purpose of prepaiing a . vessel tor their master's escape. They were -both seized, and BtioNA PABTE'S progress was so closely watched. Ow, on his arrival at Rouen, he was surrounded, taken into custody, and sent backouver a strong guard. to the British head-winters at Paris. Brussels Papers to the fish inst.. and Frankfort Gazettes to the 2d, have arrived., We have given their principal contents in our last page, which relate chiefly to the progress of the Austrian and Russian Armies in France. The Marquis of ANGLESEA is returning from Ostend, i❑ the Adtuiraky yacht which carried over Lord CASTLERZAGH. The DUchess D'ANGOULEME eras expected at Portsmouth yesterday, to embark for Bourdemix. We this day give further extracts from Paris Papers to the 4th. The Sitting, of tliC soi-disarm Legislative Body on the 3d was so thinly attende►l, that it was doubted by the Me►ubers if they were in sufficient numbers to do business, though the (minus they had to do was no less than to finish • and perfect the French VOnstitution ! ! It scents also, that a number of strangers elected the►u selves to the house, i and took, their seats among the Representatives accordingly. They, as were tumultuous, irration a l, in decisive lieisiv supposed, were persevered in only which was t o s i t st ill t ill the Duke ot' ‘ )e E n LLINGTON had terminated their labours by the signature of the Capitulation of the City, CO4l - among other preciouS' commodities, them and their Palace.
