UHAM BUR OF DEPUTIES, Joni 10.

M. Lafitte said—l rise to oppose the prams
verbal of the sitting of yesterday. I have thought
it my duty, as • Deputy of Paris, to inform the
Chamber of the situation of the capital. It ii re-
peated to all France, to the capital, that we are free
in our deliberations. It would nut require great
exertions to prove that we are not so.—((;resit Behr
eium.)—Since I ascended this Tribune three days
ago, blood hat not ceaied to flow in the capital. Yes.
terdey it was spilled in a much more frightful moa-
ner; and it is time, I think, that some measures
should be adopted to meet the dangers that threaten
us. M. Lafitte then informed the Chamber, that
he had several documents in his possession to prove
the excesses of the troops, and read oue signed by
several respectable inhabitouts of Paris, in which
were recounted the ',oohs of two individuals, and she
violence of some cuirassiers in the house of • Nur-
eikeind de Vine. Mows, it is said, were made at
people within the house, and half a sabre remained
on the counter-:

M. de Cnrcrllrs, rhowilig a broken blade; es-
claimed, " Here it i.!"

NI. Lafitte continued the reading of the docu-
mew. and then proceeded to comment with great
severity upon sending troops to employ their sabres
*pima all unarmed multitude without giving any
previous notice of such intention. This speech ex-
cited murmurs and applaupt in the Chamber. The
spectators in the tribune violently expres•ed their
approbation, far which one person. iu the dress of •
Mechanic. wee turned oat.
Some other Members spoke nearly to the sate*
effect. declaring that the only cry uttered lay the
people was " l'ire la Char/e!" which should molls,
considered seditious.

'rite Keeper of the Seals said, that rebellion is
organised, and has its chief., its signal's, its *ord. of
order, and its emsoceurres. It established itself on
the preceding day principally on two points, but its
chief attempt was made on the Bei:icy:Kris Saint
Martin and Saint Denis. There it was that by
stew and profound combination, it sought to take
Armitage at once of the darkness of the night.
and the coming of the people from the theatres on
the Boulevard, to augment the crowd sod the
confusion. The cries were threatening t they were
not only Pica /a Chune, but were directed against
the King; and they eltould soon read iu the proses
verbal what the cries were that were altered.

All paci6c means were vainly employed to dis.
peise the crowds. The puller officers were over•
whtlined, the national guard repulsed. the gen.
dames then endeavoured with their sabres in their
scabbards to disperse the people. The crowd only
inereased, and the gendarmes. nearly surrounded.
were compelled to mod for asaistaties to disengage
themselves. It was then that the troops of the line,
namely, a squadron of cuirassier, arrived with the
Liewieuant.Gmeeral misunsudintthe &jai.. The
people were required three limes to espente, but

they replied may by attJektag the gendarmes wfth
sticks, sad the troops of the line wills collies of
mosses. It was then only that, repelling force by
force, the cuirassiers charged the assailants, as the
ouly means left of dispersing the crowd. Among
the cries of the people were. ;lime nos Irmo de
Manchester !—llacrethrloas laughter on the left,
a movement of iNdirnaticas on the right.)—Other
cries were heard, such my, A 13ss ILES CRANIUMS !
—A Bas les Royalism, !—A Bat let kneigres !
A Bits les Cuirassiers ! This statement of the ci►.
cumstences of the outrage the Minister read from
peaces verbal drawn up by Gen. Count Defrance.
An angry discussion succeeded to this, hi the
course of which several Members demanded the
•ppoitttment of • Secret Committee, to inquire into
the circumstances and causes of the recent disturb.
once*. This, however, was not adopted. One
Member read a letter from a citizen of Paris, who
stated that he had heard the officers encouraging
the troops to massacre the people, by exclaiming
Tate! tee! This letter excited great indignation
on the right side, tout however alpinist the officers,
hut against the Member who could read such infa-
mous calumnies.

The Chamber then proceeded to the " everlast-
ing dipcusnoti" on the Law or Election.. The 2d,
3d, 4th, End sth articles we►e agreed to. and the
Chamber adjourned to Monday.

elektion of • Representative in Parliament for the
City of Duhlin, iu the room of the Right Ho-
nourable HENRY GasTrAtit. The speech of
the Learned Mover on this melancholy occasion
Was 'on eloquent tribute to the splendid genius
and unbending patriotism of the illustrious de-
ceased. Similar testimonies of esteem and ad-
miration were also paid to his memory by Lord
CARTOIRRAOIR, Mr. Gaawr, Mr. 11111.13ERFORCE,
and several other Members, who, forgetting on
this Mournful occasion political differences, united
in eulogising that rare combination of intellectual
and moral qualities which lo eminently distin-
guished Mr. GRATTAN.
