The Chevalier Debray has arrived from Peters-

leave. previous to his departure, the Emperor Alex-
owlet expressed himself as follows : 04 No doubt you
will hear on your journey several ri.ticulous
mauve respecting disputes between Russia and
France. It is very extraordinary that men will
attempt to divide the empires from each other.
—Do not be alarruel at such unfounded re-
ports the Emperor Napoleon loves me. and I

But from the peculiar situation of His Majesty's
health, it was not thought proper to carry
that intention into effect. It it, my Lords,
with the deepest wilifitin:e I hare to state
these reasons, and His Majesty'. present ill health.

opportunity of vrocurii.e that attendance which

dogs, should the emergency rppenr to renaiire their
a.sembling, riven Moult they should disvo been
prorogned to a later period. Thus the Legislature
appears to consider fourteen days as alAt tune ; and
if we want any preccdent further to strengthen our
choice of any rnru period, it is to Ire found, not
minty years age, iii pulut, and in favour, of that I
have now to propose. I shall therefore submit to
the [louse s (mitten. that at our rising this dry we
may adjourn to this day fortnight; Ind the only
additional consideration we have to loot! to . is,'
to do every thiug necessary At the expirutiou of that
date, to forward the object we bare in vice, of *
full and stacient attendance. For this purpose.
and in pursuance of the precedent I have before al-
luded to, I shall have to add to my.proposition, that
there shall be • Call of the Howe; and Mitt we
now direct, that circular letters shall be dispatched
to every Me.tsber of it, requiring his presence on
the appointed dvy. If the House concur with the
opimnu I have olfered, this will be the subetance of
the Motions I have to submit."
