manifestation took plane at Cbambery, the capital of
Savoy ; nearly 3,000 (Anagram of all ranks and pro-
rate:ono, magistrates, advocate., proctor., physician.,
merchant., manufacturers, workmen, almost all the
officers net the National Gaud, answering to the call
of the patriotic committee which they hid nominated,
met in the Champe-de-Mara, and there, with the
national flags at their head, met the representative
of the euvernemot, in order to protest in the
strongest manner their desire to remain free under the

anger of that Preach press bowed down to a posture
of immeasurable complaisance ; and we have men

*fhe nienifestation of /snowy 29th has bren nu-
worthily travestied. The E iglish people, habit sated
by the enjoyment of its liberties not to let itself be
misled, babi:nated also by its legitimate distrust to
guard against perfidy and 'stemmed ambition, will
not allow itself to be deceived by such moicouvres.
Menaced is her integrity, is her independeotrer is
