Minister, observed, it has been considered, from time
immemorial, as contrary to the laws of the Monarchy
to speak without permission of the King, and I shall take
his Majesty's orders thereon. The Duke afterward
stated, that the King had commanded the law to be
observed, and here the appeal terminated.
PARTS, ()CT. I.—The most fortunate periods of the
monarchy never beheld a more magnificent and more in-
teresting cortege than that with which the King was at-
tended yesterday in his progress from the Palace of the
Thuilleries to that of the Legislative Body. Every
Frenchman felt with pride that the Majesty of the
Throe.., eclipsed for a moment, was on this occasion to
be di.ollyed with all its splendour to the eyes of atten-
tive Europe.
The galleries of the Hall, which are usually open for
the public, were filled in a moment. The King of Prussia
came in about eleven o'clock, and took an obscure seat
in the extremity of the upper gallery, on the left of the
throne.

Nearly 8000 men of the national guard were on foot.
On the King's coming out of the Thuilleries in his car-
riage, in which were likewise the three Princes of his fa-
mily, the cannon were fired; salutes were again fired on
his retiring from the Legislative Body, and on his re-entry
into his Palace. Artillerists of the old guard, destined
to form a part of the royal guard, served the guns which
announced to the capital the most august of all cere-

monies.

But how is it possible to describe the universal enthu-
siasm, the beautiful view which the amphitheatre formed
by the boundaries of the Valais Bourbon, presented,—
the unanimous and lengthened acclamations which burst
forth the instant the King's carriage was descried. The
shouts of joy came from the heart,—all hearts were
united as one. the vows made to heaven, the hats, the
handkerchiefs waved by some, the caps of the grenadiers
of the national guards hoisted upon their bayonets,—all
was employed to express our sentiments, and every object
possessed its peculiar eloquence.
The ceremony was interrupted for an instant by a re-
markable incident. We thought we heard one of the
Peers, M. de la Bourdonnaye Blossac, add to the pre-
scribed obligation, saving and excepting what concerns
the Catholic religion.' One of the Deputies of the Tarn,
M. Domingon, said-4 Before taking the oath, I ask,
from my Lord and King, permission to speak.' A mi•ve-
ment of surprise was manifested in the assembly. The
Duke of Richelieu, after taking the orders of the King,
said, According to the immemorial usage of the Mo-
narchy, no person can speak without the express per-
mission of the King. The King orders the business to
go on.' M. Domingon then simply said, 1 swear.'
We are assured, that M. Domingo)) is a Protestant, and
that he wished to say, 6 saving and excepting all that
concerns religion.'

After the ceremony of the installation of the Legisla-
tive Body, the cotaurs of each legion were conveyed
back to the hotel of the staff of the National Guard, by
detachments charged with guarding them. General De-
:ones, on receiving the colours, announced. that the King
had commanded him to acquaint them, " That he again
found himself with pleasure in the midst of the national,
guard of iris good city of Paris, and that he was per-
fectly sat;sfied with their zeal; their fine appearance) and
their loyalty."
