The tiroid Deputation is comprised of Ave
Membeis of the bureau, and twenty-five others
drawn by lot.
A Report was made front the Committee of Pe.
titian*.
The Sieur Marie-Oitplan, an Officer of the
Legiou wrilenour Paris comploined of the re.
dingiest that was made in his ploy as a member or
the Legion. The Committee proliosed to remit
this petitiow to the President of the Council of
Ministers. and also to the future Committee on the
budget.
General Foy said, that Captain Marie-131108n,
the petitioner, airs a brave officer, who lust • kg by
it CHIIIIOII shot at the battle of Salamanca. Nearly
iii years, he said, have now parneel away since the
c,eation of the Legion of Honour. Absolute power
Fed lint then effaced the forms of the Representa-
tive Giiveriiroetit. The law of the 49th Floreal,
!,ei,r X. was freely discussed before the Legislative
Poily. The new institution was called to be pro-
log's:ea to future ages, and a dotation was assigned
to it. Already advanced in glory, even on the day
of its birth, its star at Dace gleamed with a lively
splendour. The Legion of Honour held its ground
sly it• own fonds, and by its material establishment..
ft marched at the head of the social interests for its
own especial object, the strength gof the results
of the Revolution.--(Laigkfee, end eirtrarters on
the right.)—The law of creation had proportioned
the number of titularies of each rank to the dote-
*ton assigned, but the unmeasured developement
of our military power soon rendered it insignificant.
A crowd of lucrative employments were at length
reserved to the Legionaries ; the public schools
receiv,-d the sons of those who, dying on the
field of battle, had left the head of the State
to be the father of their children. Asylums
were Aliened for their orphan daughters, to
preserve them Tram the corruption of morals.
The war overthrew Napoleon, who was raised
and aggrandised by war. The King, remount-
§og the throne of his ancestors, judged that
new order of things was invariably established iii
France, by the voluntary or forced part which two
entire generations had taken in the events of
the 45 last years. The King solemnly consecrated
for himself and for his successors for ever, the
minterial and moral interests of the Revolution (New
murmurs) The material interests iii acknowledg-
ing the Pale of the property called Notional, the
roots' interests iu recognising the order of the Legion
of Honour.

Tie guarantee mentioned in the 12th Article of
the Charter is a personal of the Royal beneficence
e.f Louis XVIII. By that the King wished to
mark the high esteem in which he held our institu-
tion. The orders of Saint Michael, of the Hnly
Ghost, awl of Saint Louis, were founded by un-
popular Princra.—(Violent murmurs
General Foy, with vehemence—" Yes, very un-
popular. for they were Louis Xl. Henry HI. sod
1 outs XIV."
M. Benoist, and other Members on the right—
" Louis XIV. was not unpopular."
Voices ou the right—" Order!"
Al. Chauvelin—" Listen, and then reply."
General Foy—" I say that these Princes were
very unpopular."—(A'err tries of " Order !")
Al. de Cattelb.jac—" We acknowledge nu one
to be unpopular but Napoleon."
After much agitation in the Chamber roil niter-
ruiflt 66666 General Foy at length obianned • hearing,
es,nl complained that the Legion of Honour. winch
Led beau hitherto given as the price of blood, had
been lavished at once upon men oho had retideird

(.11ernairs.)—Ile declared that the reduction of
the pay of the Legion, of Honour appeared to hini
• bassitioptcy, and a fraudulent bankruptcy.—
After some further observations, in which he severely
'reflected upon the abuses of the system now pursued
-with regard to the Legion of Honour, he concluded
by moving that the present petition, and all other.
pa the same subject, should be referred to the
fklansters, that they might be taken into their serious
cospidenttion.

LON DON,
TUESDAY, JANUARY 4, 1840.

A variety of Foreign► Papers have reached owe
Office, extracts from which will he fumed in our
preceding column.. The " which we
noticed yesterday as existing between the legitimise/1e
Soverei:„ of Europe, has brew very strikingly
exemplified by an incident which occur►ed lately
at Strasbourg. A plan, it seemi, had been formed
by some friends to liberty iii Germany, to establish
a German printing-office at Strasbourg, for the
purpose of printing there such political works as
prohslily could not be published in Germanys ►u
cans. tinesice of the severe measures, restrictive of
the freedom of the press, which have hero recently
adopted by the respective Governments in that
country. It was also contemplated to print and
publi.li a puldical Journal at Strasbourg, in the
Getman language; hut these intentioils have, we
are now told by the Gazette of Munich, been frus-
trated by the French Government, and that orders
have been transmitted from l'uris prohibiting the
execution of the project. As the Bavarian Co.
remittent has establi►hed a censorship of the press
within its territories, we must presume that this
statement has been made public with its concur-
rence, and a certain' authenticity is thus given to
the coinniuoication ; but whatever may be the
wishes of the French Government upon the sub-
ject, the liberty of the press is not an idle name in
France ; it does not exist at the discretion of the
KIN() or of his Ministers; and although the Co-
ve tttttt rut of France may be invested with the
power of prohibiting fnreiglie►s from estsblish-
ing either their !lade us domicile within its ter-
Moults, it certainly is not capable of prevent-
ing a French subject front establishing in any
part of the kingdom r lirintisig-office, fur the
purpose of printing political or other books or jour-
nal. in any language he may think !Holier to use.
Be this means Germany may yet have the advan-
tage of a free press. The great moral engine of
public opinion cannot be elrecitially destroyed un-
less all the Governments of the civilized nations in
the world conspire fur this object. llostArAars,
in the plenitude of his power, trembled before the
free press of England, and the comparatively petty
tyrants of Germany will, in like manner, feel the
power of the press, though the bolt be hurled from
a foreign country• ; nor will it strike with less force
and effect from the circumstance that those who
hurl it will be free front the control of the Govern-
ments whore abuses they *mil. Since the passing
of the severe lava in this country against the liberty
of the premi, every circumstance on the Continent
relating to this subject is interesting to us, for they
are much mistaken who think that one country• is
not deeply interested in the political and civil
liberty of others.

The Boris repels of the Slot last intimate that
some alterations iu the Election Law of France will
shortly be proposed to the Legislative Assemblies
by the Government, but that the Ministers are in
despair at the continued illness of M. Ds Scant,
who had underttsken this delicate and hazardou►

enterprise. An important IJW relating to the secu-
rities of individual liberty, will, it is thought, he
submitted to the Chamber of Deputies on Friday
next. The Illonitrer notices a very singular para.,
graph contained in the Ammo/ de 7'ostlouse, pur-
porting to he extracted from a letter from Bayonne,
that some English troops had effected a landing in
Portugal, and had seized upon Abrantes ! It is
difficult to imagine from what source such a piece

of information could hate otlginated, or for what
object it could have heen Nosed.
Accounts from Iron state, that Aloott.l.ols
complaints have moved the King of.Sootti to rend
him some succour, and that orders have been dis-
patched to Cantos to expedite the depollute of •
corps of 5 or 6,000 troops for the seat of war in
South Ainerics. The earliest period et which this
force can sail is said to be the 20th of this month;
so that if Mound.° br not overwhelmed by 80-I.IVA
