sliould hare given up, for iIISMICP, a portion of the territory, would you become , examining Magistrates, and act the part of a Chamber of Accusation ? The Nlinisters are impeached, by the mere fact of their being arrested. The Chamber of Deputies is the accuser, the Chamber of Peers is the examining ISlagistrete and the Chamber of Council is the only Judge. ihe Hon. Deputy, in support of his argu ment, referred to the example of England, and ob served, that at by the French Charter the Peers of France could arsly be arrested in consequettee of an accusation by. the Chamber of Peers,. the Chamber of Deputies foued itself shackled and restrained in its 'sower by one of the Ministers being a Peer of ssrance. 0 I propose," added he, " that the Com mittee, being invested with a political power, should have the power of making itself aerie:voted with the subject, it it be not already so : I wish that th's part should be prudently limited. It is not my de. sire OW it should degenerate into a Committee of luquiry." M. Dupin, sem—This is a very serious question s and one on which. the Chamber ought not to come to a hasty conclusion. It not only concerns the tights of accusers, but involves eh) that of the sc ented. But the principal question here is one of pure policy. It has been said that there is no law upon the responsibility of Ministers ; hut bee use there is no express law, must welemein withont the power of proceeding to judgmeot ? We may escape from this difficulty by the power of facts. if there be no law upon the respoesibility of Ministers, the Ministers are certainly the last persons, who have a right to complain, since, though they have annually for 15 years promised to introdece such a law, they have never kept their word. Accusation and judg ment are two distinct things; but for both it is equally necessary to be in 'pOssessiOn of facts. We hove been told that we are sulliCiently iuformed as to facts in this casess-that they are notorious : it, the judgments that are formed by popular cht mond The Chatnber ought to decide upon the accusation according to its o know), dge of facts, submitting to a renewal of the exeminution by the Peers, if they conceive they have not sufficient evi deuce before them upon which they cum proceed to judgmeta. Have we sic glaring and positive facts in the events of the 27th, 2801, and 29th of July I' Whet witnesses therefore need we to call before us? Are we ourselves to be individually examined ? Are we to call before us the whole population of Paris ? We have no want of proof—the best evi dence is to be found printed in the Monitcur. To come to a conclusion, 1 am of opinion that the ques tion ought to be Pitt thus :—" Are the apparent facts sufficient to warrant our declaring that there are grounds for impeachment ?" 111, Elmira Sulverte—The resolution which your commission has presented to you has been attacked by several orators. These orators raster} you the right of delegating to your commission the powers which it eaks from you. Co that, one speaker has already replied unanswerably, that if you cannot de legate those rights, the power of accusution is illusory. I will add to Isis arguments, that, in the terms of the penal code, the right of instituting a process against an offence or crime belongs to him who is charged with prosecuting it. But does net the soleauthority of prosecuting Ministers rest with the Chamber of Deputies ? But, said another speaker, this inquiry is useless—the facts ere pal yolk. I do not think we can accuse ' without call tag the accused, The powers asked of you are therefore useful, far you cannot accumi any person in his absence. Let us say that the facts are pal pable. Cannot a Minister say to you,—" You accuse me for having signed the. Ordinances ; but I did not sign them, my signature is a forgery ?" (Alt I ah 1 from ell pasts.)—The Ministers ought then to institute an interrogatory. One speaker has ad, vetted to public notoriety. The Chamber cannot carry on a charge founded on public notoriety : but should weigh it in its conscience, after having heard the accused. It has beets said, that it does not tic cord with the dignity of the Chamber to give such powers to the commissioe, but is it not in confors salty with the dignity of the Chamber to decide on such a question with all 'disc conaideration ? A speaker leis cited the example of the Chamber of Peers in Englend. But the peerage of England is anterior to the monarchy, it should not be compared to ours, which emanates from the King. The same orator also reminds use of the English statutes, but who does trot know that England is in this respect rt country of customs, and that its statutes are fre quently contradictory ? But with us the Charter is positive; it says, that Peers ihalljudge, and that the Chamber of Deputies shall prosecute. It has been proposed to the Chamber only to give to the Commission the right of (Mining a sort of complaint, which it shall be charged with carrying to the Chamber of Peers. If you adopt this measure, it will result that we siltell otily be petitioners when the Charter gives us the right to accuse and deliver up. On these grounde, Y think that if you do not delegate to your Commission powers sufficient, .you wilt render illusory, end of iso effect, the right given you by the Charter. M. Manguin—Proofs are not wanting to accuse, I know. The blood of our fellow-citizens still reeks in the streets of Paris. The main facts ere too evident to require Ivey other proofs than the Ordinance of July 25, But two matter, of neces sity weigh upon the commission and the Chamber The first is, to regulate due arrest of the late Mini sters; the second is, to proceed to their interroga tory. In the vast excitement which has just been caused, a political measure authorised the arrest at these persons; We can justify it orderlies,' gro u nds, for there was flavour deliciton. We issuer, now that all is restored to ostler, discharge our responsi bility as gutudians. We must interrogates the psrties Inculpated. Yost have a right to surrender th e guilty to the Chamber of Peers. The right of N o. Bering up implies that of arresting,and by a stronger caisson you have the right of seekitig fur protifs,and collecting them in a hotly. I may be told there are ne proofs to week. I will not decide upon that at this moment : we establish an important preeetlenr. Let us fix these precedents. Let us suppose that the Ordinances of July - bud not appeared, you would here had a very important question to judge—thet of the spoliation of Algiers. You would not have ha 4 any evidence nu tide ()cession. . That, these epotiation& should be laid open to you, en inquiry must have been set on toot. gatislund has been . laaintiened its ptecedents are till coetradietery, for they must be sought amidst revolutions. li no th e Charter bun pronounced; you have nu need to seek for lemmata* ; you hate, to the fullest exteet, the right of accusing and surrendering ; you !owe all the secondary rights 4cek them in the Charter alone—there your rights era written. Are you told to seek the right of accusation iii the Climber of Peers, because the Minister is a Peer llis muss lity of Minister absorbs his quality as Peer. The authorisation is only for ordinary cases. In pelitiesd cases it would be to paralyse the right of aceuse. tions for this right depends on the majority—se majority known to be the work of the ministry. Act as you shall judge fit, act with consideretion, ocp with wisdom—nominate, if yen will, smother commission; but without the power we call for front you, our mission will be impossible, and we. shah be compelled w resign it.—(Universal cheer ing, and sgreement.) M. Wronger, the reporter of the committee, re sumed the discussion. Ile repeated, that the char. t r,h'id, granted to the Chamber of Deputies the "gut O f "Peochiog .

The President Will proceeding to state the terms of the question, but, after ringing his bell several dines, he was interrupted by Deputies talking in groups near the Minkterial bench. lie said, "It is impossible to keep order if these eternal conver sations be carried on at the Ministerial beneh."— (Loud htughter.)—The Deputies then took their places. The President..--The following is the article as proposed by the committee " The Chamber authorizes the committee ap pointed to examine the I►roposition of M. Salverte, relative to the seeeauettinn of the Ministers who signed the ortlittancot of the 25th of July last, to exercise all the powers belonging to instructing judges sod council chambers." Villernain moved to confine the power of the committee to the issuing of mere writs of summons, with regard either to witnesses or persons accused. This amendment was rejected after some debate. The President then put the question as above stated, and a division took place by rising and sit ting. The tWo lefts, excepting about fifteen of the centre left, Voted flr the affirmative; these fifteen, the (Tittle right, and the right, voted in the *lege tiec. The division appeared doubtful, and a second having taken place, the question taus declared to be Carried. 'l'l►e ticcision produced marks of surprise, and the j:illot was called for by many voices. The Pre►i'ent referred to the orders of the Chum ber, article 32, according to which the ballot is not obligatory, except for law projects. On other (pee tions the Chamber 'mist decide whether there is to be a ballot or not. The b,illot wits still celled for by one party, chiefly :hose of the right, while the other side contended the time for it wits peter, es, according to the . _ orders, it should have be6n required before the Pre. sident had decided. , Mr. Jacques Lefebvre—We are no longer in those times in which there wAs reason to fear the manifes tation of the real opinion of this Chamber. It would be a thing much to be regretted, were it to be sus pected that the decision of the Chamber had not been rightly declared. M.•Bourdeax—The Chamber will permit me to remind it of a very remarkable incident:--In 1816, the law on the organization •of accounts was pre tented by the Keeper of the Seals, then M. de Barbel Marbois.. The law was adopted after a division, by sitting anti rising, by a great majority; but on the secret ballot it was rejected by an equally great ma jority.—( Laughter,) • Several voices.—That was the aware iutrou vablel - - After some further diteussion, the ballot wus► or dered to take place. Number of voters 279; white ball+, 186 ; black balls, 9:3. _ . . Tile article as proposed by the Committee was then adopted. This remarkable majority, after the show by rit,ing and sitting had in two instances appeared somewhat doubtful, excited general astonishment. Applause was heard among the people in the public galleries. (From the Messver des Chandirts of Saturday.) Some persons, whose private connections enable them to be well informed on the subject, state, as a fact of which they are certain, that M. Guernon de Renville has not been arrested at Tours, as was reported. General Pepe was in the Netherlands when our glorious revolution broke out. They refused him passports. for France, The passports which M. Lafayette hastened to forward to him did not find him any longer in Belgium. Dr. Lusardi, an eminent oculist, and fellow-countryman of General Pepe, undertook to bring him hither. lie made . him get into his carriage, and accompanied him thus as far as Paris with the most disinterested devotion. • Letters from Calaisstute that the Spanish General Mina, and two of his friends,. were to pass through that town in two or three days on their way from London. • The Proclarnatioo of the Duke of Orleans, as King of the French, was received with enthusiasm in the south as well as in the north of France. Letters which arrive to us from different parts, but which, from the space necessarily devoted to the interesting proceedings in the Chamber of Deputies, we are unable to insert, leave no doubt in that respect. The election of a citizen King to the Throne, awl his first words, have given rise to great tulips. Hi, Ministers, assisted by the Chambers, will haii,ten to realige them. (Vrom the Journal tiu Commerce.) We have just learned by a letter from Air-la-Ma. pone, that M. Funchet, and his family, are arrived there incognita—Journal de 14 Prom de Liege. Letters from Cologne state, that on hearing the news of the revolution at Paris, the General who commanded at Cologne instantly despatched a courier io Berlin to Inquire what dispositions ho should make. lie was told in answer, that for the pr e s e nt every thing was to continuo in the same state, for that there was no notion of attacking France so lung lt4 she did not assume the offensive, ARREST OF M. DE POLIONAC. SAINT.IO, AV(. 17. The Marchioness do St. Vargeau arrived et the house of Piquenard, the principal innkeeper at Gren ville, and dining the 15th instant she was seen to go three tittles into a low cabinet and speak to a man dressed badly enough, but whose manners possessed too much ease for a livery servant, such as he up peered to be. The suspicions of some men of the Nutional Guard were ixeited at the eireumetunee. One of them demanded of the stranger who he watt, and presenting a pistol at him, forced him to sit down. M. de Polignac at first wished to deny the right of the person to question him, but he was compelled to explain ; and he said that he was the servant of the Marquis de Sr. Fargeau, who sent him to ae eompany his wife to Englund. M. Polignae was asked by what route he came. Ile nnsweied that he travelled en poste with the Marchioness from Caen; that he hadlmen but a few days in the Mar quis's service, &e. The Mtochioness, on being questioned in her turn, gave a different account, both of the length of time be had beetthereervent ' end of the place from which she had come.' It ended in Prince Polignec's being committed to prison, at ten o'clock, on the night that he wee arrested. Yesterday morning he wan conducted before th e Mayor, when, after some minutes spent in biter roving, he requested to speak to the Mayor in private. In his conversation he stipulated for per mai protection, and admitted himself to be Ponce Jules de Polignac. • Preparations were instantly made to hand him over to the Departmental Commission. Ile was placed with the Marchioness in a diligence, and escorted by from 20 to 30 of the National Guards towards St. Le. They posed through Coutances with infinite difficulty: the people wished to see Polignac, awl but for the Mayor and some of the (gendarmes, the - Maims! Guards might, perhaps, not be left nesters of their prisoner. At one league a half from St. 'LEN the diligence halted, and the Prince partook of a hearty repast. Between three and four o'clock in the afternoon, the diligence arrived at St. 1.0, and the Prince was conducted to the Prefecture, where he was fully re cognized by many persons, although his outward ap pearance was that of a mendicant. After long examination, he was transferred, un der a strong escort, from the Prefecture to the prison. If the distance had been long, the military force could not have preserved him in their custody. A crowd of workmen and enraged women threw themselves on the ranks, and cried out, " pende ! a la Alai/ohne! c'esl lui qui a fait brukr not maisons." The Ex-Minister was pale and 410 W netist. • The Al4reillOrieSS de St. Furgeatt was released iesterday evening, end het off for Paris. Lust night a itranger wits arrested at Granville he wet) belieeed 'to. be M. de Moodie!, and was brought to St. Lo. Many persons affirmed that he was not M. Monthel, who is not so large, and who is younger than the individual arrested. BARCELONA, AUG. 11. The news from Paris has given a great impulse to public spirit in our town, and much more so to the persons that dwell on our sea coast, who are already in a state of ferment. Since the arrival of this news all our authorities—military, civil, and ecclesiastic —are in constant deliberation, and they have rein forced the garrisons of our citadel, of Asturazlnas, and of the fortress of Montjui. The military chiefs had, at first, the bitention to command that domiciliar visits should be made, and that all our arms should be taken away from us; but it afterwards oecar►ed to them that this measure might be a signal for general explosion, such hi that of Paris, and they accordingly changed their minds. ILIMFONSO, AUG. 9. At this moment all the Ministers assembled at the Royal residence are holding a Council, under presidency of the King. The Queen is exceedingly afflicted by the events iu France. We observed that the King displays a perfect tranquillity. It is a positive fact, that when the King had fiNished reading the memorable ordinances of his Uncle, Charles X., he flung them with psssion on his bureaux, saying, that they were capable of dis turbing the tranquillity of all Europe. (From Galignam's Illessenger.) PARIS, AUG. 21. The Temps of this morning says :—" We multi-- stand that the Council of Ministers have decided upon applying to the Chambers for a grant. of t 10,000,000, to afford assistance to commerce. The embarrassment of the mercantile interest at Paris is occasioned chiefly by the difficulty of discounting bills—a difficulty the causes of which are well known. It proceeds from the disappearance of capital occa castoned by the recent critical circumstances, and from the insufficiency of the uid afforded to Com merce by the Bank of. France. A loan, therefore, is to he made in order to facilitate discounts ; public credit is to be employed to support the credit of in dividuals. This is a good and useful measure; it will be supported by public opinion ; and the Chamber should not hesitate to adopt it, but even a+►oulti do more if necessary." M. de Montbel, it appears, has not been arrested. The person who was apprehended at Granville, on being takett to St. LO, was identified as quite a different person, and immediately discharged. M. Polter, M. Thielmans, acid M. Bartels, three of the Belgian exiles, have arrived at Paris; the fourth, M. Neve, is detained at Strasburg!) by in disposition. _ _ At the moment when the fallen Royal Family embarked at Cherbourg, and bade adieu for ever to France, which has expelled them, several eminent personages of the fugitive Court, in expressing the sympathy they felt in the misfortunes of Charles, said that if any thing consoled them, it was to think that the Dauphin .vould one day govern France. These words confirm all that has been said upon the foolish obstinacy and senseless resentment of the ex-presumptive heir.— to Temps. The following is an extract of a private letter of the 15th instant, from Toulon :—" The Echo sloop of war has arrived here from Algiers, which she left on the 10th, with despatches for the Govern ment, which have been sent off for Paris by express. The private letters which she brings have no: yet been distributed. It is stated, however, that the. Diligenle sloop, which left Toulon on the 6th, for the purpose of announcing to the African and Levant squadrons the changes that have taken place in France, arrived at Algiers on the 9th instant. Ad miral Depart; immediately hoisted the tri-coloured flag upon every vessel, but General de Bourmont refused to strike the white flag, which waves over all the public edifices and forts of the town. It is. added that all Communication between the fleet and the army is suspended. • The Government seems at last to have directed its attention to the African ex pedition; it was reported yesterday that the division of reserve , had received orders to embark imme-. diet ely. - The necessity of leaving a strong garrison at Algiers, and in the principal maritime towns lot the Regency, renders this reinforcement indi spensible, especially if the war should continue with the Kabyles, who massacre our soldiers even within half a league of Algiers. All the vetsels armed cu flute are to be put upon a war footing."- Extract of a private letter of the 7th inst. from Lisbon :—" We have received by the last packet from , London. important intelligence relative to the mission with which the Marquis de S. Aniaro is invested by Don Pedro. By the mariner in which Mr. Mackenzie, the English Consul, speaks of thiS mission, it is natural. to infer that the British Go vernment approves the following basis of an arrange meet between the two brothers Don Miguel shall be .aeknowledged by Don Pedro as Sovereign of Portugal. 2. Portugal shall enter into an engage ment to pay the luau of 20,000,000 of crusadoes which Kiug John contracted at London in and for which Braz'l had becoMe responsible by the treaty which acknowledged her independence. Portugal shall likewise pay the debt contracted for the main tenance of the garrison of the island of Terceira, and of the Portuguese refugees. 3. The marriage be tween Donna Maria and Don Miguel shall be con eluded as soon as the latter shall have granted a general amnesty, and an indemnity to all the Portu gueie who have joined the Constitutional party." The Luxembourg Journal says, that " the policy as Well us the personal sentimeres of the King of Prussia will induce him to observe a strict neutrality under existing eireumstauces; nor will he suppress u free expression of the pubic opinion upon the events in France; but he does not make it appear that he has come to any decision as to issuing a decla ration of the opinions of his Goverement, nor its to his conduct towards the new Government of France." The German Papers announce that the Bishops of Metz and Fend meat this mom cot at Treves in Prussia. The Hamburg Correspomicat of the 11th instant has the following from. Mentz At Forbach, a few leagues from hence, 21 pieces of cannon have been formed into a battery, with all the ammunition necessary for their supply. The Duke of Wurtem. berg, Governor of Mentz, has not sent off the troops, which were under orders to march on the 4th, The camp lit Cobientz will not be formed." The following is an extract of a letter of the 18th instant from Itheime During several successive' days papers had been posted up on the pedestal of the cross of the mission,giving notice that it would be thrown down and destroyed. At length, on the lath, about seven in the evening, a great crowd as— sembled at Mount Calvary, and, after raising the cross two-thirds out of the socket, fastened it long rope to it, and hurled it to the ground amidst reite rated acclamations. They th e n sepereted the figure of Christ from it, which they bore in triumph into the town, shouting, Viva la Ch ar g e / ap bait la Catolte !' They then proceeded to the gates of the Archbishop's palace, which they forced. The Mayor, however, arrived with the &detest Guards in time to prevent them penetrating into the hitter court, end at length prevailed upon them to retire." The 111imileur of Saturday contains Royal ordi nances, appointing M. de Villiers du Terrege to be Prefect of the Department du, Nord, in the room'of M. Alban de Villeneuve; and Made St. Hermine, Prefect of La Vendee, in the room o f M ,d ' Auder i e. M. Triplet., a Counsellor of the Royal Court of Parisos appointed Presid ent o f that Court, in the room of M. Amy, resigned. Four other cattlemen contain the appointments of various Sub-prefects, mayors, Procureurs du roi, and other civil end dicirl officers. The Moniteur also notices two de crees of the Minister of the Interior, reinstating 18 Mayors of towns, who had been dismiss e d by the late Ministry on account of their independent con duct at the late elections. (Prom the Nes:arm des Chambres of Sunday, Aug. 2i.) PARIS, AUG. 21. We are assured that 33 Commissioners of Police, in tho city of Paris, have been discharged from their functions. A great many families still have relatives abroad. The . Chamber of 1815 passed a law, banishing the members of the Convention who had thought it their duty to give a severe but conscientious vote on the trial' of Louis XVI. Since that time, several courageous patriots having attempted generous en terprises to. deliver the country from the yoke which oppressed it, were brought to trial and condemned. Some were fortunate enough to escape, by emigrat ing, the pemsliments .pronounced against them. It is affirmed that the Minister of Justice Will lay be. fore the Council to-morrow a project of law revoking the law of 12th January, 1810, and the condemna tions for political offences since the restoration. If, therefore, as we make no doubt, M. Dupont de More should find in the Council' a feeling favour able to this act of reparation and justice, France will, in a short time, nor long have to deplore the forced absence of the citizens who have devoted them elves for her welfare. The Chamber of Peera will meet to-clay at two o'clock. ALGIERS, AUG. 2. (FROM A PRIVATE LETTER.) The following are some particulars of the con spiracy which has just been discovered here. " The posts plaCed at the gates of Algiers bad, for seine time paq, obierved mules 'mien with filth, and .driven by A.:gerines, pass out of the city. Our people took it into their heads to examine some of them, and found a great quantity of ammunition, which they were taking to the Arab=, to arm them. The news of this discovery - was immediately ',read.. and about fifty French, who were > ctttered in Algiers, were cruelly massacred. The whole garri son was immediately under arms; a good many of the infamous conspirators were arrested, and happily among them were the principal chiefs. They were all Turks, and orders have been given to make an immediate and rigorous search for all of that nation lamenting here. This search has placed in our bands 2,000 Turks, who will be sent without loss of time to Smyrna, on board some frigates. One has already , sailed, and we hope that this measure will rest ore tranquillity.. _ " An Am - erica; frigate arrived ye•terday, and in stantly placed itself between. the Provence and the Breslau, without saluting the French flag. The American Captain put out a boat to go on shore, but Admiral Duperui immediately armed a boat, which put itself in the way of the American. The officer in the boat asked the reason of this conduct, saying, he was in a free city. Lieutenant re plied, that us the French flag was flying on . Algiers, he ought to submit to the laws and regulations of the conqueror, and that Admiral Durerre would let him know what they were. The American boat returned on board. The Captain of the frigate waited on Admiral Duperro, untl every thing was, I believe, arranged. " Just as lam going to close my letter, the Echo corvette is arrived from Bons, with the news that that town has received a French garrison." ST. PETERSBURGII, JULY 10. (A PRIVATE LETTER.) You know that the Emperor Nicholas is a man of a firm and vigorous character, and, as I have said before, liable to tall into either extreme. Happily, whether from conviction or policy, lie seems to look favourably on the cause of the people, and seems to aim at directing the world on moral principles, us was the intention of the immortal Canning. The obstacles which the Russian Autocrat may meet in keeping himself at the head of the general do not seem to discourage him. In spite of the murmurs of the Aristocracy, he liti* mused a report to be spread, that after .Os return from Poland a new Code would be priblishelt, one of the first articles of which Should declare all debtors, without distinction of rank, liable to personal arresit.—(litherto the Nobility have set themselves above the laws, and dal not pay unless voluntarily.) Another article is said to abolish civil distinctions, declining persons of merit eligible to all offices. Lastly, from the ilny of the promulgation of the future decree, no persons shall be born slaves in Russia. (This would be a mortal blow to the de. spotism of the Lords.) It is said that the Code con.: taining these enuetments has been secretly drawn up by the most able men here, who are almost all of them of the (hit(' estate, and they have been allowed to make use of all the papers found in the possession of the Liberal conspirators, who were hied six years ago. FRENCH. REVOLUTION. PUBLIC MEETING AT EDINBURGH. (Abridged from the Edinburgh Evening aurora.) On Friday a very numerous and highly respectable meeting of the citizens of Edinburgh was held in Steven ton's Rooms, Regent-bridge, pursuant to a requisition " To consider the propriety of their expressing their ad miration of the energy and promptitude with which the French people have lately resisted the violation of their public rights, and the moderation with which they hove hitherto used the sudden and unexampled triumph by which their patriotism has been rewarded." The door of the great room was Opened about twelve o'clock, and in a short period the apartment %as crowded in every port— end among the auditory were a number of ladies. At one o'clock, the Lord Provost, attended by Mr. flume, the Member fur Middlesex,. the Dean of Faculty, Air. Cockburn, and other requisitionists, ascended the plat form, and were received with the most enthu si ast i c cheering. Mr. GIBSON CRAIG moved that the Right llore the Lard Provost be requested to take the Chair.--(Cheers.) The Loan Noma said, before taking the chair, I con sider myself called upon to say a few words, though not as an apology for appearieg here among you, but only in so far as it might be necessary to state some reason, as h were, out of doors, to those parties who may not know the motive that brought me here. If I bed considered that this meeting was called for any factious or improper purpose, I would have been the last man to have called such a meek:, or lent myself in any shape to it ; but on looking over the list of the requisitionists, I immediately saw that there was no party feeling existing—they con- Rioted of men of all parties, of all classes, anti like myself, actuated by no factious spirit whatever.—(Applause.)— I 4111 convinced that the meeting will be managed so as to prove that we are only actuated by a feeling which all may proudly folio* and proudly avow.—(Cheers.) The DEAN of FACULTY... (Mr. Francis Jeffrey)—l take it for granted, as we have heard from our Hon. Chair man, that we are all agreed, and that on the subject on which we are met, one feeling pervades the country at large. It may be asked, then, why we have been callvd together on suet an occasion, anti for what purpose we are .taken from ether pleasurable or important occupations on such a hot day, and called to hear repeated aloud, and in public, that which we have all assisted in stating awl concurred in thinking and feeling at home? This is a question which it is easier to ask than to answer. The brut answer I can make is, that we could not help it,--that the feelings by which we are poreosett, were of that degree of intensity, of that inspiring majesty--nay farther, of that unprecedented novelty, that they ought not to be confined t o fireside discussions—or to the congratulation of shaking of hands in our private- circles.—(Cheers.)—A public event, unprecedented In the annals - of the world, unsure passed and unequalled for the good which it promises, not only for the flattering views which it holds out of human nature, but especially as an example of those generous and severer virtues to which that brave nation, which has achieved the late glorious triumph over despotism, have hitherto been supposed to have had but slender preten ehms. It was fitting that on an event on which men have been triumphing with words, exultation*, and congtatula duns in private, they should now have the happiness' of meeting together to give vent to their feelings in public, and to assure each other by their voices, their countenance, their eyes, and their feeling., that they participate in one common Soy, one common hope, one common prin ciple, by which men of all ranks, orders, and con. Aitions, are united on this happy and unprecedented occasion.- - -(Great applause.)—lhat I believe is the lead. j u g and the first realm which induced us to call together t h e present meeting; and it is ultimately the best and only apology we can offer to those to whom any apology is na -1 eessary.

The late revolution is the termination of those lamentable and painful struggles, which have existed over most part of the *arid, and may yet to a certain extent prevail, between obsolete prejudice., and preposterous and degrading pretensions on the one hand, and nn some occasions the too just fear of revolt, disobedience, and insubordination on the other. The happy reconcidation of those two opposite principles was effected in the miraculously short space of three days, and gave hope and assurance that the minds of men in the most irritable and excitable nature have at last learned the lesson that mutual concession can alone ren der a people happy and respectable; and by that the dignity of the throne will be upheld, and serve as a protection to the rights of the people to which it has hitherto been too generally opposed.--(Loud cheering.)— It is impossible to look at the event thus gloriously and happily concluded without feeling that it was aided by the provident coincidence of happy circumstances. Its gio rious termination has been, that a Prince and his Minie terms capable of the atrocious violation of pledges they bad given, of the oaths which they had sworn, and of the rights which, without pledge and seithout oathe they were bound by common duty and common humanity to ohwerve—(Great applause)—that a Prince and his Mi nisters should have been so flagrantly in the wrung, by such an atrocious and unprovoked aggression—an verse sion for which there was no pretence by any movement ()- appearance of movement, against authority—by any plet, or rumour of a plot, against the legal succession—by any ap pearance, or even any tendency to insurreetion or tumul tuery mien - tent in the capital, which is seldom altog ther Ito of such movements. There was no talk of Nap .:eon ; te) hankering after the glories of his conquests; no men lion of a Republic . ; no desire of revolutionizing each other's interests ; no resistance to the course of the oral. nary tribunals of justice ; the excesses of the Press wsre left to be vindicated where they were proved by the suffi cient coercion of the appointed tribunals quietly exercised. They were going on in that state of things which prontimed to he beneficial to the Sovereign, by increasing his lawful authority. Persons were appointed Ministers who wire decidedly unpopular—but not a murmur was r .is against the authority by which they Lal been named, which might produce an effort dangerous to the legitimate suc cession of the infatuated Monarch, whose line formed perpetual series of Sovereigns to generations of fire people. It was in these circumstances that an attempt WAR made to restore absolute and bigotted tyranny-- to put an end to laws and to rights, and to break that solemn compact by which the Government was raised to the highest point of monarchial adaptation. Previeut to those steps, preparations were made, by the accunatibe. tion of a large military force in the capital, which was disunited, unsuspecting, without arms, and apparently incapable of making resistance;—batteries of cannon were raised in the heart of the city ; foreign legions were marched in ; troops were nelecte.l, officered by those men who were understood to be most devoted to the Royalist party it—all this had taken place, and was followed by the flight of the monarch from the scene of hazard, though he was within hearing of the roar of the cannon and the shouts of his myrmidons, who were inflicting slaughter on the people,—(Long continued cheering.)—lt was to be looked upon as a happy circumstance, that this conflict which thus arose and so gloriously terminated, proceeded clearly from an act of aggression on the part of the wove • reign, while it was an act of mere resistance in self-de fence on the part of the subject,—(Cheers.)—There was not a voice raised, there was not an arm lifted in defence of those infatuated errors, although in the result they het ter deserved the names of atrocious crinees—by whieh this revolution was necessitated. In the next palace, it was impossible to look without gratitude to that over ruling Providence, by which, in this unexpected enter gency, France was directed to, and found at once a Prince of the condition, character, history, habits, and principles of the Monarch who now sways the sceptre in that country ;--ti Prince of the blood so near as to sa tisfy all natural and reasonable objections on the claims of legitimacy ; connected with the revelation, and too nearly connected by blood with some of its worst actors; schooled for a long period in adversity, and who bore the restoration to his fortunes with moderation ; who had led such an unambitious life ; who bad all along been spoken of in such a way as proved beyond a doubt that lie had not taken any part in plot, or Cabals which would have elevated him to the throne; that there was no dissimulation in his political principle., and whose age, situation, and habits, which were direct, plain, and simple, gave assurance that he was qualifimd in an eminent and conspicuous manner to be the first le gitimate sovereign under a free and limited monarchy.— (Cheers. )..—ln the last and highest place of those providen tial circumstences, and singular felicity which attended this revolution, must be placed the extraordinary and noble magnanimity—the moderation, firmness, amid cou rage, by which they first achieved and afterwards en joyed and confirmed their victory.—(Great cheering. ) It is impossible to look upon the story of those tour event ful days without feelings of exultation and pride at the capacity of human nature, which is seldom to be seen to advantage in large muses of mankind, though here was displayed in the haunts of a dissolute and corrupt capital the triumph of the severer and nobler virtues. Here was the spectacle of a great people totally unprepared, driven by unfortunate events to assume a formidable attie tude, scattered and disunited, without bead or leader, without notice or expectation of the blow which was aimed at them; with invincible and magnificent resolu tion, each brooding for one night over the part be had to play on the tnorrow—consulting with his own heroic breast on the means of rallying in the morning with calm, fixed, And magnanimous resolution—calculating upon nothing but the sympathy and unity of senti ments among his fellow -citizens—with slow, deliberate, and majestic movements, which could not have been surpassed holm moat consummate masters of the art of war, he assumed those meant' of defence lay which be was most likely to gain his object. In that situation they were overwhelmed in the first shock—mow e d down by the cannon, which the incomparable atrocity of their opponents actually levelled at time crowded streets and lofty buildings of that proud capital; they were ridden down by cavalry—assailed by men eased in armour ; but they soon rallied ; they tore imp the streets for bulwarks... they covered every roofe—filled every window and every terrace, and fought at every corner, till, by the heroic and persevering resistance of that eventful night, the discipline anti valour of the finest troops in Europ e w e r e baffled and discomfited. This assembly presented a noble spectacle— of youth and children—of women animated by heroic valour, and rising above the feelings of their sex. This was not a mere military conquest—it was a moral and nobler victory. The soldiers, actuated by feelings of military duty, and most of them ignorant of the cause, were shamed out of resistance, they sulkily refused to act against the people.--threw down their arms, and giving way to their nobler feelings, fell with sobs and tears into the embraces and received the congratulations of friends and ,fellow citizens.--(Long and continued cheering.)— This is the scene on which I feel that even repetition and idle words may be borne with indulgence. The whole glory, the .whola' benefit, the whole use of this spectacle would be lost if it were not contrasted with the opposite spectacle which similar struggles produced in the earlier stages of the revolutionary movements. I say. that no spectacle has ever been presented by human , anineee....ne scene of the fabulous ages was half so renteekable as the contrast between Paris in 1790 and Paris in 1930. Then we all know what insane visions fleeted in the heads of those who counselled the mermen of the revolution ; what atrocious crimes sullied time hands, hearts, and names of those who executed those counsels; then every thing venerable; every thing established, every thing sacred, human as well as divine ; every thing that had commanded the respect of wise - and thinking men through a succession of ages, were trampled under foot. Religion was dis claimed and ridiculed—all dignities were overthrown—all that was attained by learning, elegance, and superior ac complishment., was levelled in one miserable and melan choly chaos..—(Cheers.)—That triumph was effected by a series of utter abominations, which human nature shudders to look back upon, and which even at this day appears in credible to have happened in any c i v ili ze d state or Chr i stian land.—(Applause.) —Then no quarter was given, and none was required. The most slender pretences were made use of to justify the slaughter of those who were of the same kindred and speech, but only suspected to be de fenders of the ancient Royalty; women and children, ladies of rank, of delicate manners, of unimpeachable virtue, be. cause they bore the honoured names which shed a lustre o fu n tail t lad he e b w is a to s r te y h of re F m r e a d n yo r France, were every not only treated with cruelty, but with b ru t a l i gnom i ny . The guillotine or the tionary tyra n t s pl unge d i nto a sea of excess. d T t he those who h 0 preceded them had assisted in supplying its fountains. I will mention one fact :—lt is on record that all the por ter* who waited at the hotels in Paris were massacred in discriminately, because they were called by the usage of. the capital Swiss; and the reason for this was, that the Swiss Guards resisted when they were attacked. Whereas in 1830 there was no example during the three days of excitement of either scan or boy having asked quarter, a n d b e e n refused, while on the latter occasion the Swiss were aggressors, anti repeatedly fired upon the populace. But the consummation of all was to look at the exit of Charles X. and Laois XVI. To centrist the total fOr bearance, not •only,from personal- violence, but from ; in. snit ; the respectful gravity, and the majestic spirit with which that infatuated, and I will say guilty tyrant, his been inhered out of the dominions, so justly forfeited.. attended by guards of honour, travelling with his suits and family in splendid carriages, with the proudest and most luxurious appendage, and attended by the repreiens wives of the people ; received in every town with $ mixture of mournful, dignified, but unoffending 'ileum which shed even a higher glory on the people than all their great achievements. Compare this truly noble and moderate exercise of the rights of a free .peeple) that magnanimous compassion, that humane sprig of a fallen vicOn, with the atrocious cruelty with which the fathers of the same men, and probably , * feW of themrelves, persecuted and brought to the 5I a benevolent, virtuous, and intelligent Prince, whose whole reign had been a series of concessions to his Pelle This was admirable and worthy of all commemoredels from the fact now before us; but we have the theory' tai well as the tact to exolain the phenomenon. The exec." of 1790 were the excesses of slaves broken loose- 4 1,0 applause)--of men` unaccustomed to liberty—unfit for liherty—and, I may say, unworthy of liberty. The Pr' s ' feedings of 1830 were the proceedings of men trained to rational liberty, warned by the example and inetructiou of their ancestors; of the necessity of patience, caution, Usg suffering, and of powerful and unsbrinking abstinence from all unneeteeary innovation. What a lesson dos of Abe th hold nut to those who affect to dread the liberty to and long.eontinued cheering)--t° t h ' ev , l el m im a gine that there can be no safety but in how l ; se - Ow from the people being intrusted with rights, and / even ' notorting those with violence, no other result On but bloodshed. I trust that this warning will O % IA thrown away upon those that hold suc h sentiments' that they will see, not front theory or reasoning, but Ire" f i g' soil proof, that liberty is the great cure, the sure renlell, the alareltite safeguard and preventative of those exrestes, which the anlent and dirordered longing for it are scones lif producing. --(G re it appleure.) This is not only the cause of France, it is the cause of England, of FeneoP e l .11,1 of the !seinen race. This splendid revolution ought disarm ail prejudice and all distrust of that rational libergt. by the ringieratidn to which it affords encouragement, who were wilt which it has been accompanied.

At hone, therefo re; even the most devoted Tories might congratula te thensel .. and their sover e igns, and all legal and constituted astliand ties, in the triumph which principle, law, m onercilt, ' ti e 1 reliehm thus signally obtained in this crisis; and the friss; of liberty will not only draw more near to each other; I t will be more united, and in the main will deserve non a ; o',tain the confidence and respect of each other. 1 P ee look forwent, not only to the association of parties mil! different shades of opinion, but I expect, that thit OW will disarm acrimony, and will be likely to eneours,fel greater degree of friendship and amity between the, ciille_ i nations of the world.
