I have little doubt, after all, that Lord Brabazon and Colonel White will be the sitting Members.—Every beneficed clergyman in Ireland is ii freeholder. There are 80 of them in the County ; and with the exception of tin, all the rest gave " plumper" votes for Mr. Hamilton. COUNTY ov Cl.altit.—There is no doubt of the return of Major Maemernera and Mr. O'Gorman Mahon, although Mr. Lucius O'Brien exhibits a very powerful interest. On Thursday evening the poll closed as follows:... Meenomors 519 O'Gorman Mallon O'Brien COUNTY OF MoNAGHAN.—There is a most inte resting contest in the county. The candidates are the lion. Mr. Blaney (son of Lord Blaney), Hon. Henry Westenra (son of Lord Rossmore), Mr. Evelyn Shirley (an English gentleman of large for tune, who has an extensive estate in the county), and Mr. Lewis, who stands merely to enable his friend Mr. Westenra to meet the coalition between Blaney and Shirley, by having the facility of a se cond " in polling. Yesterday evening, the poll closed as follows :,-Blaney, 355 ; Shirley, 271 ; Weston', 207; Lewis, 44. If each candi date stood upon his own interest, Mr. Shirley could have no deuce, as the greater part of his freeholders are rendered ineligible by the death of his mother, who was the last life in their leases. It is said that Lord Rossmore has succeeded in putting en end to the coalition. If this be the case, as lam inclined to believe, Blaney and Shirley must be returned. OALwax TOWN.—On Thursday evening Mr. O'Hara was declared duly elected. The numbers at the close were :—Oliare, 381; Blake, 306. CITY OF LIMERICK.—Mr. Spring Rice's election was secure since the commencement. , His majority yesterday was 250. COUNTY OF GALWAY.--.-.Tha election for this no torious county commenced yesterday. Mr. Thomas Martin (son of the well-known Colonel Martin) has resigned in favour, it is said, of Sir John Burke. Mr. Lambert has a very powerful interest, and it is generally supposed be will ride first-horse. COUNTY OP SLlGO.—Gerieral King and Mr. Cooper have formed ti coalition, which will, in all probability, secure their elections, to the exclusion of the other candidate, Mr. Fitzstephen French. HALF-PAST Two. - -I have just seen a letter from Monaghan, which mentions that a most savage st uck was made upon a portion of Mr. Shirley's free holders (the Franey men) by a mob from Monaghan. The freeholders had to retreet to Castleblaney, and remain there until a troop of horse . arrived to con duct them to the busting.. Tttru O'CLOCK.--1 have just learned that a con flict took place on Thursday evening between a body of Orangemen and some Catholics, at the fair of Muff, county of Cavan. The Orangemen fired on the Catholics, five of whom were killed, and seve ral wounded. At the fair of °mud, which took place yesterday, similar outrages were expected, us awned the local Magistrecy bad refused to interfere. WATERFORD, AUG. 11..—This day, at twelve o'clock, the election for the enemy commenced. At that hour the High Sheriff, P. Hum.; Esq., took his place on the hustings. having gone through the usual formalities, Mr. KUILY proposed Lord George lieresford at a candidate for, their suffrages. Mr. Bum seconded the nomination, Mr. H. W. BauttoN proposed Mr. O'Connell, and called upon freeholders of all classes to vote fbr him. For many reasons he wished to see Mr. O'Connell returned; and whoever might be second, he hoped to see that gentleman et the head of the poll. Mr. GALWAY seconded the motion. Mr. POWER (the late Member) proposed Mr. Wyt_of as a candidate. Mr. A. SttEnLoca: seconded the nomination. Mr. KENNY, a surgeon of this city was then pro posed, and seconded by two freeholders, merely for the purpose of giving him an opportunity of address ing the electors. Mr. STEICLE, of the county of Clare, came for ward and requested to be nominated ; his object, which was similar to that of Mr. Kenny, he said could not be misunderstood: He was then proposed and seconded, but he allowed the nomination to he withdrawn at the request of some friends near him, amongst whom was Mr. O'Connell. Lord Geortoi; liffnEseoun was glad to have that opportunity of explaining some reports which had been in circulation unfavourable to his character. The first to which he should advert, was the report that be had not taken his seat during the last Sea. *ion. The fact wee, that his election took place during the Session ; the election was followed shortly by the Assizes, which he thought it necessary to attend ; and immediately afterwards followed by the Easter holidays, and as soon as they were over he took his sent. This was on the very first they after the holidays, and from that period to the close of the Session he had attended regularly in his place, except when prevented by a severe attack of gout. With respect to the imposition of new tales, it was true that he bad not attended the meeting on the object of Irish Gentlemen at the Thatched 'louse Tavern, end his reason was, that he thought the House of Commons, and not it tavern, the fit piece for such discuseions; but he would tell the free holders what he haul done. A few days after his arrival in London (knowing as he did the hostility in Ireland to those taxes) he sent his Noble Rela tive, Lord Ifereaford, to the Duke of Wellington, with a communication against these taxes, and en intimation that he would give up his situation in the King's household sooner than vote for these measoreaaue-(Cheers.) Wish regard to any ad. ("Wood wee on Ireland, he was determined to oppose thenees.(Cheers)...and he was also pre pared to pledge himself to vote against any en croachment on she liberty of the Prost.--(Cheers.) With regard to the election of Derry, he was willing to give the fullest explanation, and would at any time be ready to meet Nir. Dawson on that subject. It was true that Mr. Dawson had, in his farewell ad. dress to the electors of Derry, stated that the family of the J3eresfords had acted the part of Protestants in the north of 'refund, end of Catholics in the south. In this statement the Right lion. Gentle• man's feelings had got the better, not only of his courtesy, but of his discretion. The "tight Elms. Gentleman had stated that the Beresford family had voted against him for the support which he had given the Itelief Bill, whilst at the same time he bad admitted that the family had themselves taken the same part. It was said that his (Lord G. IL's) fatally had, on that subject, changed at the eleventh hour; but when, he would ask, had the Hight lion. Gentleman changed ? Why, at the tenth hour and It hill?, when he bad knowu his brother-in-law's Tito true cause of Mr. Dawsoti'm defeat Warr his glrest unpopularity in the county of Derry, !au"' with Mutate Catholics and Protestants and i w t it t n as rn : i t ta n t ir M tt e. u eotrot solely that hi s . family ' had written commun al.mrt from Mr. Dewson ; and a assuring him that they s Made to Mr. Dawson, account of his vote get I the d i lio r hostility to him Oft if he got over his nnitopolority, i I f e, l 6,Th i ari n d t , i t t ha r t ford would support him, 1, - ,a4 1. 1b . tempt to force him on 010 county ;Ir ou ' d mt • at. list the family wished no division of , bl o t 4 " tinned, they offered, in Octob e r i n i t . „ to n e g t rue' , l * whole mutter in (lignite between theme, ell 14. ww.on to the settlement of Mr. Peel, which M e l Dawson refused. As to party processions, he had always depreceted them. Ile detested them, whethei in the north or in the south, and he thought they ought to be put down.—(Cheers.) Mr. O'CONNELL rose amidst loud cheers. He did not come to disturb the unanimity of the county, nor to depriVe the landlord of his legitimate in. fluence; but he did net think he sought too much in asking for second votes. Ho was ready to render an account of what he had done, end he claimed support because he did the duty of his constituents, and be should continue to do so, notwithstanding the paltry conspiracy of the London Press. They might have put Mr. Burke down, but they could not put down him (Mr. O'Connell). lie pledged him self particularly to pay attention to the local interests of Waterford, and to use his best exertions to man eipate the trade with India from the trammels which bound it—on every stage of that measure he should be at his post. He should also move fora repeal of the Sub-letting Act, rind if supported by Irish Members, he had no doubt that he should soon succeed. •To the present Grand jury system he was also opposed. This required revision, and what he should propose was, that two persons should. be elected in each barony to applot the county rates, subject to the approval of the Grand Jury. He wished to see the tithe system altogether altered, the Clergy of the Esta blished Church to be paid according to their deserts, and no sect compelled to support the Clergy of another. For Radical Reform he was an advocate, and thought that no man ought to be taxed unless he had a voice in electing Representatives. His plan comprised three points—triennial Parliaments, uni versal suffrage, and voting by ballot. To the two latter, Mr. Brougham was opposed, and at one of these that Hon. Member had sneered. Here the Learned Gentleman dwelt at considerable length on the necessity of repealing the Union, and in eu logising the present French Revolution. Though thankful to the Duke of Wellington for passing the Relief Bill, be could not support an Administration which had riot given effect to that measure, and which bad accompanied that act with a clause ex cluding him from Parliament, and continued their hostility to him by not including him in the list of Irish Barristers who had lately gotten silk gowns aod he also blamed the Noble Duke for his conduct towards the Irish Catholic Bishops and the Mo nastic Orders of the country. As to himself, a silk gown might be offered to him with perfect safety, us he should have declined it, but with that courtesy which, he hoped, he always exhibited ; he should have said to the Noble Duke, " You. have done • right, but I cannot accept it." The Noble Duke he also thought the enemy of the Press; not that the Press in England was attacked with the open man. liners of a Polignac, but with the chicanery of the lowest practitioner in his profession. He did not profess neutrality on political subjects ; but with re gard to this election be had given a pledge, and sooner than violate it he should give up the county. 7 -(Cries of " No coalition," and strong symptoms of disapprobation.)--He did not presume to dictate to the electors, who had to ask themselves who it was that was likely to do their business.—(Hear, hear.) --If he were returned again into Parliament, he should every night, at nine o'clock, move the ad journment of the House; at all events, he pledged himself that they should not sit after eleven o'clock. This course would soon force the House to the ne cessity of sitting by day, which was the proper time for transacting public business. Mr. It. PowErt, brother to the late Member, wished to ask the Learned Gentleman if any change had taken place in his conduct since his arrival in .the county, and if such were the case, he wished to know the reason of it Ile understood that to Clonmell and Carrick lie had denounced the Beres fords, but that when the Learned Gentleman had got as far as Lismore, he had shown better taste, and held out the olive branch. • Mr. O'CotsNtaa. said, the question was a fair one. lis thought when be was coming into the county that he should be met in a spirit of hostility, and that be should have to fight his way through it. He began at Carrick, where he received the Waterford Mail, in which he was as well abused as a man could wish to be. Finding he was thus attacked, he began to retaliate; but he afterwards was met there by some gentlemen, Catholics and others, who had sup ported Lord George Beresford at the last election, who told him they could not, consistently, support him in such a course, after the pledges of concilia tion which had been uniformly made. He then said, that the moment he went to Waterford he should proclaim conciliation; but if attacked he should reserve to himself the right to retaliate. [This ex planation was received with mingled cheers and dis approbation, owing to an impression that there exists some understanding between the friends of Lord fleresford and Mr. O'Connell to exclude Mr. Wyse.] Lord GEoamtt litotEsFottp disclaimed any con nexion or participation in the article upon Mr. O'Connell in the Walojbril Mail. lie looked upon that gentleman as fairly entitled to solicit the repre sentation of the county ; and he (Lord George Beresford) had no right to abuse him, but should observe towards him the courtesy due froM one gentleman to another. 'Wvsti rose amidst loud cheers.—For the private character of Lord George Ileresford he had the highest respect ; and if he could obtain certain pledges from that Noble Lord, be should retire from the contest. lie would rod( if the Noble Lord would consent to a commutation of tithes, and to pay each Pastor according to hi s d e se r ts ? W ou ld e give effect to that great and first principle of the Constitution—namely, that there should be no tax ation without representation ? Would he support triennial Parliaments and Constitutional reform ? If the Noble Lord did not support these measures, the electors were bound to find a fitter man fur their representative. It had been said that party pro cessions were abandoned in the South; but did they not exist in the North ? And he culled upon the Noble Lord to exercise his influence to suppress them in that quarter. Mr. O'CoNNEtt. said he had omitted to reply to one part of the inquiry made of him by his friend Mr. Power—namely, the cause of his delay in Dub lin. The fact was, that upon his arrival in Dublin he was attacked with a slow fever, which pre vented him even from attending the election at Drogheda, where his son was a candidate, nor could he attend at Carrickfergus, where he bad under taken to defend gratuitously a prosecution against the Press ; us sour► as ho wt►s so - mewhat recovered he was obliged to attend the Galway Assizes, for which he had previously received a retainer of 2301., and from thence he came, as soon as he could, to 'Waterford,—(This additional explanation was re ceived without any detnonstraticn of feeling, and in silence.) Mr. KENNY, the fourth candidate, said, much as he detested the politics of the Beresford family, he pre ferred the manly avowal of the Noble Lord's prin cipled, to the insidious art►fices which lied been used to prevent Mr. Wyse from being returned, or even of offering l►imself as a candidate. ills first wish was the return of Mr. O'Connell; but as that was not certain, there ought to be no objection on the putt of O'Connell to the return of a second liberal etindidate. A show of hands was then called for by the limit SiffAtlVF, win declared them to be in favour of Mr. Mr. O'Connell and Mr. Wyse. A, poll was de mantled on the part of Lord George Beresford, and the next day, at nine o'clock, was fixed for com mencing the poll. Fulno.—This morning, at about ten o'clock; the several candidates having appeared on the bust ings, Mr. O'Connell said he carne there to resign the contest in favour of Mr. Wyse, and this he did ..... ........, .. , to prevent any disunion or Irritation in tht county. Mr. Wv7o: regrkted extremely that his nomitia• tion should have given rise to any angry feeling, and sooner than disturb the harmony of the county- Mere the Hon.

Lord George Beresford and Mr. O'Connell, after the usual proclamation, were then declared elected, and they both returned thanks ; the hitter, in a long speech, at the close of which he solicited the honour of his Noble Colleague's acquaintance; upon which Lord George Beresford rose—the two Mem hers shook hands cordially, and the Court broke up. A chairing of the new Members has been spoken of by some persons, but whether singly or together, was considered a point of some difficulty. This is, however, removed by the departure of Mr. O'Con nell, who has just left town in company with his friend Mr. Steele; and the other Member has also refused such an exhibition. MEMBER RETURNED.

But, at all events, lam quite certain I did not apply them to him in the offensive manner he sup poses, and I have a distinct recollection of having con cluded whatever I did say, with disavowing all personal hostility towards him.

Whatever objection others Powers of Europe may have to the occupation of Algiers by the French, such objection will not be the only difficulty the conquerors will have to overcome in retaining possession of the place. From several private letters in the Paris journals, it ap pears that the troops are daily exposed to attacks from the Arabs in the surrounding mountains, and to insurrections and assassinations within the town. It is said in one letter that an attempt has been made to poison the soldiers with bread, and that some who had partaken of it bad died, while others remained sick. It is stated by the Natitmal that discontent in the army is general, and all the letters from Algiers are full of complaints against the Corn mander-in-Chief, to whose mismanagement the unfavour able situation of the army is attributed. The troops, it seems, call for a court-martial on their General, and when the previous unpopularity of llotraatowr has re ceived such an aggravation, it may be presumed that this call will not be disregarded. General CLAUSE'. left Paris on Friday for Toulon, where he embarks, with a commis sion to supersede BounxtoNT in the government of Al giers.— Times. A respectable meeting of the inhabitants of Birmingham was held no Wednesday last, to express the sense of that town and neighbourhood relative to the late events in Prance, and also to promote a subscription in aid of the suffering and heroic inhabitants of Paris. Various resolutions were agreed to, expressive of admiration of the conduct of the brave men who were engaged in the late conflict, and of the heroic valour of the people of France generally. It was also agreed that a subscription should be opened in the different banks of Birmi ng h am f or th e relief of those who bad suffered in the cause of freedom. Mn. following descrip- CAI of the chai r in g of the CIIANCmon of th e E x . cuironett's effigy, in Armagh, upon his election for that city, is taken from an Irish Orange Paper, in which there is a violent tirade against those who returned the Hight lion. Gentleman, anti a threat against the Duke of WEL- LtriwroN, of visiting him with the fate of PohlosrAc The hour of election no sooner arrived than n confused crowd, of various ranks - of society, rushed N the hlarket. house. All was still as death, till GOULUURN'a name was announced. A general hiss then commie:teed, and was kept up for some time. The Sov ere i gn endeaioured, but in vain, to suppress thi s e b u lli t i on Of popular feeling. The hisser, accompanied with shouts of ' No oournuaN," were continued. The unworthy cnntlidate, however, amidst groans and hisses, was (I blush to say it) elected ; and the multitude, seeing their opposition useless, gave three cheers, in deafening shouts far the French revolution ! The election was followed by the customary chairing, Hut the Hon. Member, who is to misrepresent the citizens of Armagh in the ensuing Parliament, having prudently consulted his own saf e ty by rema i n i ng in England, a two-fared effigy, admirably executed, representi n g th e t ax Chancellor, was in consequence soon manufactured, The painter, who delineated the lion. Financier's countenance, did it great justice. On one front was placarded, in legible character., ' Gott t.nuarr, the Member forArtnagh, a Friend to Taxation, an Enemy to th e Lib erty of the Pros;' on the b other, Gooi.uuaw, the M em b er foe Artnag, the Duke's Parasite, and the Invader of the nights of the People.' The effigy was mounted on a cart, anti carried, amid,t the hisses, groans, shouts, and execrations of the crowd, through English-street, Thomas-street, and Dolibin•street, fur the purpose, it is said, •of making a present of the two-faced Member to his Orem The priucipal gate, however, was closed, and an entrance was in vain attempted at the f , !'cotch-street gate. The procession then returned, amidst the continued shouts of the - populace, mad the graceful leowing of the Hon. Member in the cart, up Scotch-street, to the Market-house. The effigy Was then suspended by the neck front a tamp iron ; after remaining there a short time, it was cut down and quartered by the crowd, who into the dust Of the etreet,em hist the dim's of theiropulacei" tore the materials into a thousand pi eces, and hurled them FRANCE. CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, Aua. I. Vice-President—M. LAFITTE. M. G. de la Rochefoucauld appeared at the tribune and said, I have the honour to submit to the Chamber a project of a law of the highest importance and the most urgent necessity. In consequence of the late events, the commerce of Paris is suffering.—(Con siderable stir in the Assembly). Several voices—lt must be sent to the bureaux. M. de Rochefoucauld--I do not ask leave to ex plain the grounds of my proposition; but I entreat the Chamber to hear me on matters of the greatest urgency. Several voices—No no. M. de Rochefoucauld—lt is in accordance with the Minister of Finance that I propose to you this important measure. On its immediate adoption may depend the fate of the capital, and prevent between this and to-morrow several failures which may other wise occur in Paris.—(Much disturbance.) Several voices—Read, read l Others—No, no in the bureaux. The standing rules are against it. The President (ringing his bell)—Gentlemen, the standing rule does in effect oppose the reading of the proposition which M. de la Rocbefoucauld is about to read you. I know it, but circumstances are urgent. The proposition is of the deepest im portance, and it may have a bad result if the Chamber does not listen to it without delay. M. Augustin Perier—l hear of the urgency, but have as yet seen no evidence of it. There are amongst us Ministers who tell us that they know nothing of the motives which have led to this in cident. If, however, one of them should appear in this tribune and point out to us the perils of the situation of the commerce of Paris, and the urgency of succour required, I shall be the first. to vote for the putting aside of the standing order; but till then I must remind the Chamber of it. M. le Baron Louis ascended the tribune. (Pro found silence. Gentlemen, (said the Minister of Finance,) some of my colleagues informed me, at my entrance to the Chamber, of the embarrassments experienced on the Exchange of Paris by a certain number of persons whom the sudden panic would not allow to meet their acceptances. They think that Government should allow a certain sum to be devoted to discounts. I replied that the Govern ment could not dispose but of those sums for which regular credits were opened by the law of the budget. As to the proposition of M. Gaetan do la Rochefoucauld, which he said he presented in ac cordance with me, I declare that I have never ex changed one word with him.—(Expressions of sur prise in the meeting.) M. de la Rochefoucauld—l ask pardon of the Mi nister of Finance, it was in the presence of Messrs. Odier and Jacques Lefevre that I had the honour to mention and discourse upon this object. I affirm, moreover, that a meeting of manufacturers took place to discuss the means of private credit, since the bankers refused assistance.—(Considerable in terruption.) Several voices—Enough, enough! In the bureaux. M. Dupin, sen.—l demand attention to the stand ing order. The Chamber can only exist by proper forms. I call attention to this. You would avoid anarchy, and are falling into it yourselves. If every one were to talk as suited him, upon motives of urgency, each would have most powerful ones to mention : and from urgency to urgency, precipitat ing your deliberations, you would deprive of consi deration all your acts. It must not be so. One says—the proposition is grave; well, let it be taken to the bureaux, then it will be considered; and after this previous consideration, we shall at last discuss with a knowledge of the matter before us. I demand the observance of the standing orders.—(From all sides, " Supported, supported.") The proposal of M. Dupin was adopted; and whilst the Chamber retired to the bureau; the sit ting was suspended. At three o'clock M. Benjamin Delessert took the Chair which M. Lafitte bad vacated, and the sitting was resumed. " " M. Gaetan de la Roehefoucauld in the tribune— Gentlemen, I have had the honour to submit to you project of a law, which was proposed to me by several first-rate merchants; as a proof of this, to day or to-morrow there will be measures taken for the benefit of commerce, by which the most perfect security will be effected. In consequence I with draw my proposal. M. Lufitte then appeared at the tribune (the most profound silence—Cilentlemen, (said the lion. Vice- President), I have but few words to say. I shall begin first by declaring to the Chamber, that I have been for some days past a stranger to the financial operations of my house, entirely absorbed as I have been in public affairs, to which , I have devoted my strength and my time : whilst I do justice to the measure proposed to the Chamber by M. do la Itochefoucauld, I must say that it is at this moment superfluous. I acknowledge, as be does, that a series of glorious events have suspended all com mercial operations, and that a temporary panic may have existed amongst the manufacturers of this capital. However, these houses are not deprived of their usual bills, and if the bank do not accept them at sight, it is because they are deficient in the necessary forms. But what the Bank cannot do, the bankers will. To-morrow there will be a meeting of the principal capitalists; they will take measures to facilitate the prompt negotiation of matters in suspense. I en treat the Chamber not to occupy itself any longer with the subject. I declare that commerce is in perfect security. I have a conviction that to morrow all will be in order, and that commerce will effect all for herself.—(Unanimous marks of the greatest satisfaction.) After some other formal business, the Sitting was adjourned. SITTING 01' AUGUST 13. The Ministerial bench was occupied by MM. Dupont (of l'Eure), Gurzot, General Gerard, Mole, the Duke de Broglie, and Baron Louis, all dressed in plain clothes. I'he President read letters which he had received from MM. Count de St. Gary, Count de la Po therie, and Chabrol de Volvic, expressing the dis. inclination of those persons to take the Sew oath, and their resignation of their trust as Deputies. M. Eusebe Selverte ascended the tribune to un fold a proposition thus conceived : " The Chamber accuses of high treason the Mi nisters who signed the Address to the King, and the ordinances of the 20th of July, 1830." " Gentlemen," said he, " when I present myself before you to accuse men whom a defeat as complete as deserved has hurled from their height of power I experience a sentiment which I am sure will fi n d a sympathy in your minds. I think of their misery; and if this thought has not stopped me in the execu tion of a sacred duty, it imposes on me the obliga tion to ask myself at every step if the memory of our slaughtered brothers does not resound too powerfully in the mind, and if the men whose culpability I pro claim could not find in their conjectures the hutted which pursues them, the horror which overwhelms t h e m. Faithful to this obligation, I shall obtain your approbAtion, and that of the generous people whom I have the honour to represent : the people thirst for justice, and not for vengeance. The Ses sion of 1829 finished in profound calm--a Session fruitful in luminous discussions, which only had for results promises and explanations. This is all that t h e Chambers had obtained from the Crown, and— let us confess it—all they had asked. In the hope that so many modifications would carry their fruits to the following Session, the people reposed for the fu ture on opinion, which they were determined to think good and pure, and on truths, the evidence of which must terminate by striking t he eyed.ls,:iremisntoosbtsrteitsastlteeslsy, closed a gainst th e light.

It was at this moment that the Ministry was entirely changed. The impatient interpreter, of the anti national' faction announced to us that the line of the new Ministry was the overthrowing of all our liber ties. I will not recall to you facts of secondary im portance ; eight months elapsed in the midst of the utmost diequietudes, and yet peace was not broken for a single moment. The period for opening the session of 1830 arrived. On that solemn occasion the Ministers placed in the mouth of the Prince words eminently unconstitutional. The Royal power which, according to the regulations of the charter, could not effect any act of legislation without the con currence of the two other powers, was represented as being determined, and if need were, by force, to overcome, the obstacles opposed to its wish. To this declaration the elective Chamber answered by an address which was prepared by men who were notori ously friends not only of monarchy but of the reigning dynasty and the person of the monarch. The pro rogation, and then the dissolution of the Chamber were the answer which Ministers made to this ad dress. I do not condemn these last acts, although nothing justified their rigour. Ministers called upon the nation to judge between them and its repre sentatives. Thus far they were within the consti tutional line ' but they were n ot s l ow t o d e p ar t f rom it. It was difficult to doubt their intention, when we saw sitting amongst the number of counsellors of the Crown a man labouring under a sinister cele brity.—(Strong sensation.)—l should speak of this man only with the utmost reserve, for I have once al ready been his accuser. I may be allowed to say,that his name recalls to the recollection of France the events of Colmar--4he law of the right . of primogeniture, the law termed that of justice and love, the dissolution of the National Guard of Paris, the massacre of the Rue St. Denis, in 1827. He appeared, and the anti-national party declared that his appointment completed the Ministry of the Bth of August. Soon, indeed, a proclamation was addressed to the electors of all France in the'name of the King. In this document Ministers made the Prince speak like an absolute master, who was offended by the most moderate and respectful repre sentations. Such language attacked the rights of the nation, and at the same time compromised the p su e c rs h o i n a a n l g i u n a t g e r e e st s of mean, the except Monarch. tha t i t What h ep rin i e n e, fac tli d tread ing the Charter underfoot, wished to reduce the representative Government to the state of a wretched puppet-show, where the representatives of the people would become rebels, unless they did not servilely agree to all the votes which Ministers should dictate to them ? During nine months Ministers were en gaged in filling the offices and tribunals with men devoted to their projects. They supposed, them- ' selves sufficiently strong to exact, during the elect- tions, a blind so-operation on the part of all o ffi cers receiving pay from Government. They openly pro fessed that every man paid by the money which the nation intrusted to Government ought to vote as the agents of power prescribed to him, and if they wished it, against the nation. Here I direct your attention to a real crime—l do not speak of the offence provided for in the penal code, which con• sists in violently disturbing the citizens in the free exercise of their political rights. I speak of a system tending to corrupt public morality, the e most valuable possession which a civilized people can have--a system by which a citizen on accepting a place under , the Government would be understood to sell to the Ministers of the day, whoever .they might be, not only his time and his labour, but also his opinion, his conscience, and his sentiment of duty. To aid manoeuvres, the execution of which was rendered difficult by the law of 1828, loyal functionaries were deprived of their offices. Me nacing circulars terrified the electors, 'and in the South of France other weapons than menaces were employed. Conscientious electors, and the'Deputy who was the object of their choice, were compelled to fly from the daggers of assassins. These were acts which the authorities of Montauban tolerated and excused, and even applauded, ,and which Mi nisters would not prosecute, but wished to be allowed to sink into oblivion." The .orator then expressed his opinion that the Chamber ought to institute an inquiry respecting the authors of the first events at Montauban, and also respecting the manoeuvres employed to falsify, corrupt, anti enslave the operations of the electoral colleges generally. An inquiry, lie thought, should likewise take place in order to ascertain what foundation there was for the generally received opinion, that Ministers had solicited the support of foreign Governments, in order to ensure the success of their projects. An investigation, finally, should bring to light the origin of the burnings which have desolated the west and the north of France—(Hear, hear,)—the instigators of which had, as it were, by miracle escaped all the researches of a police so dearly paid. He would content himself with remarking, that these burnings and the tumults excited at Montauban, by the con tinental faction, had alone disturbed the tranquillity of France. Notisithatanding the general anxiety, the course of the Government did not meet with the least obstacle, and the Ministers who, since the month of August, 1829, had plotted the overthrow of the laws, were still obeyed without contradic tion, up to July, 1830, in every thing which they presented in the name of the laws. The political attitude of the nation was not less en couraging. In the greater part of the kingdom the elections were the exact and faithful expression of the national conscience. Whatever honour the elec tions might have conferred on the Deputies —what ever might be the sentiment of public interest which dictated them, lie did not hesitate to say that no person ought to have been more obliged to them than the Prince himself, to whom they were repre sented as a series of acts of revolt. If the throne, shaken by so many and such glaring faults, could have been re-established on a solid foundation, that basis was to have been found in the constitutional elections. The Deputies could vouch for the fact. The people a ho sent them there did not wish for new revolutions, not from weakness or fear, as had been well proved, but from the love of order, and from regard to their oaths. The dismissal of a Ministry marked by universal reprobation, and laws calculated to guarantee the future against the return of the past, these were all that the Deputies were charged to obtain. Confined strictly within consti tutional limits, they were bound, in order to attain their object, to employ only the arms which the charter hail placed in their hands, and to refuse to confide the treasure raised from the nation to functionaries who did not enjoy the confidence of openly on nd Eb th eu e yro nation.l,tolheoacktl declared rdtSehdueocy, had awEd t he i rausnr Europe noais t :nrie h teotisl e nttti:eteolai, r? r r aier strior oyaeoob,drcji destruction te s iser s )ci ' ttsd h tiriru i rosp c ii cnuon l o i teesi odiv;ean t ix l rebt i ti: e ortiviy y eaft. f :l a s s resort ed Ilt to, re p e o n r d t stvoh the which tcipml w :hortgiu i ecub l ,ssi l i irltireci,eniipat,pleo,ci.ecbirttaeat,o:stir,snt necessarily oll a hiyr t colosib o ti%liv i tl i tvel eli t ec i do i hdt e ecolymi‘ i fevia i observe,King,ty. o ari t d h a t tistliiegitehnoeermddolintr:a)cdyinis: ordinances fi n c o e f s thebei being of July, were w every hol e b o o f d y. the Ministers, would they were, like the report, the work of the Ministers, and engaged their responsibility for the whole. Had not the Deputies, on reading over those acts, al. lowed theinselVes to be led away to consider them under a point of view very different from that which now occupied them ? Had they not asked them selves whether the advisers of the Prince could have imagined any thing which could tarnish his charac ter more, or subject him more decidedly to the shame attached to falsehood? After adverting to the measures taken for destroying the liberty of the press, and corrupting the elections, and to the dissolution of the Cliamberof Deputies, before it had a legal exist ence, the orator observed that at no period had power united with more audacity insult with injustice, or sported with greater contempt with its own oaths, and the rights sad destinies of a great people. Something would have been wanting to the execu tion of the Ministers' plan if they had not main tained the public hope and security to the last mo ment. This was accordingly done, and the two Chambers were convoked for the 3d of August. The Deputies from all parts of France prepared to intention of Ministers, ceased to exist. It whijhee proceed to an assembly which had , alr e a d y 'l4C.file lieved, and not without probability, that this -Blowy convocation was not made without a designieetliat the Ministers wished to bring within their reach the Deputies who had offended them by theitloyalletes —that tables of conscription were prepared, end that exile, transportation, and death were tbei'm compenses promised to the voters of the addteu. Inquiry would settle this point. Ministers knew that violence would be necessary for the maiden-Of their tyrannical ordinances. They were prepared to call into action an armed force capable of Or pressing all resistance. Already charges of, iter darmerie punished the clamours, the comp laints e te murmurs which indignation extorted from unarmed men. But soon the Parisian people no longer'cole. fined themselves to such demonstrations of their feelings. They knew their rights, they felt tinit power, and they fought, and their defensive position was soon converted into a formidable offensive ella Death exhibited on every side, and each blow t it struck destroyed a Frenchman. To Aster meditated massacres, but the issue of which illse happily changed by the bravery of the peellt t seemed difficult to add a crime.
