PAP EftS.

l'sitts, JUNE 6.—Rinte still continue, and every
eve I..ng the Chamber of Deputies and the Palace
r re Lcset with crowds of persons ex.:lain-anisr' Vice la
(,grate .1 mingled with cries of u seditious character
the King and the Royal Family. The
lni-
patrols in the streets have been increased. and
i; has been thought necessary that a legion and a
re...anent aI infantry of the guard shot; al de en-
.,
camped in the Champs Elysees, for the purpose of
-.oppressing tumults. The bridge Louis the •XVI.
seemed to be a rallying pint for the seditious
crowds, and, therefore, on Monday evening it was
itecopied by a military force, and the paasttge of it
interdicted. A piquet of dragoons of the goarrl
continued to parade during the evening upon
quay of the Tuileries, and dispersed all persons who
might seem disposed to collect there. indivi-
duals were wounded there by the movements of the
troops, and several were arrested. A. ortk.anee
seas issued from the Prefecture of the Pelive, ter
bidding ail assemblages of persons in the ott:Lit
streets, particularly on the quay d'Orsay, the bridle
Louis XVI., the place Louis XV., and the adjoin-
ing streets, and threatening all who shall offer any
resistance to the troops or agents of the police with
being proceeded against as guilty of rebellion.
These outrageous proceedings of the mob of Faris
were noticed in the Chamber of Deputies on Mon-
day, by M. B. Constant, who, however, attributed
them altogether to the Royalist party, who insulted
every deputy known by his attachment to the prin-
ciples of liberty. Ile proposed that, until tran-
quillity was restored, the Chamber should suspend
all its deliberations. In this view of the case he
..,as supported by M. Keratry, who stated that in the
. garden of the Tuileries he was insulted by an offi-
. eer of the guards, solely on account of his being a
Zeptfty, and that a crowd shouting Vice le Roi term
! called hint a Clubbist„ and desired him to go
to the Club, meaning the Chamber of Deputies.—
'the ministers, however, represented the case as
being totally different, and that the tumults were
iused by persons shouting Five la Charte 1 which,
eithough, as the Keeper of the Seals said, not in
itself a seditious expression, had yet become the
rallying cry of a party whose sentiments were but
too dearly intelligible. This statement, repeated
by other members caused an extraordinary and dis-
graceful scene of confusion and tumult in the Cbsm-
ber, and in the midst of it the President declared
that the Chamber had decided that it would pass on
the following day to the discussion of the articles of
the Law of Election.

Duke of Retry's last moments, but Oink ekes ttttt ations
were frequently interrupted by questions proposed by the
Peers to Leave!. His answers stated, that he hail cuss
stantly watched the motions of the Princes; that he had
had some favourable opportimitlee of assassiiiating the
Duke of Berry at an earlier period, but that his courage
failed him. He had gone to Calata in 1,14, principally to
collect the sentiments of the people where the King had
passed, " and theta to see if I ought to execute toy emu-
mission."
At the suggestion of M. Lally Tulendlial, he was so-
lemnly adjured by the President to tell if he hail bad any
ace pieces, but he answered in the negative, and en
plained that the commission was flow, within which be haul
imposed upon himself. (Hoe there was a confusion of
vuices in the court.) " Listen to sue," lie exclaimed, " 1
am not an orator; I cannot titter reit/ sentences; I
speak. as 1 can."
The Viscount de Montmorency—The accused has him-
self qualified his crime as horrible, and his action as
cruel ; he ',metered then its entire enormity.
Louvel.—lt is a horrible action; I cannot deny it.
When one kills a man, it cannot pass for virtue, it in a
crime. I should never have con tttt ittcd it, were it not
for the interest that I took in the nation. According to
my own ideas, I was doing well.
The tatting was then adjourned till the following day.
