OF ARTS.

During the days of the crisis which has passed, we were
among the first to proclaim our declaration in support of
liberty and public order. Upon the Tuesday our deputa-
tion repaired to General Lafayette, and M. O'Dillon Barrot
at the Luxembourg, to offer the services of the school.
These services were accepted, and on the Wednesday we
were employed at the Etat Major of the National Guard,
conjointly with its own officers. Now that order is re-
established, and our studies resumed, the scholars protest
against the denomination which has been given to them of
the School of Arts and Commerce,—a name which con-
founds them with the pupils of other institutions.
They then quote the following letter, addressed to one of
them, to show how they acted during the late troubles :
" Paris, Dec. 23, 1830.

" I pray you, my dear Cotton, to be the interpreter
among your comrades of my thanks for the conduct you
and they pursued at the late crisis. I have been deeply
struck with it, and never shall I forget to bear testimony
to their attachment for liberty and public order, as well
as' their friendship for me, which, believe me, is recipro-
cal. I offer them all the best wishes of my heart, and I
hope that an acquaintance commenced under such auspices
will always endure.

011A5113ER OF DEPUTIES.—Srrrow or Dm 24.
The President took the chair a half-past one o'clock.
If. Ilurnann broeght up the report of the Special Corn.
mittee appointed to examine the law project relative to the
Sinking Fund► which recommended its adoption, as
amended by the Committee.

The President having announced that H. Missy
d'Anglas bad laid upon the table a proposition which
would be referred to the committees,

M. de St. Aignan suggested that the proposition was
extremely urgent, and moved that the Committers should
take it into consideration without delay.
After a discussion whether such a course would not be
contrary to the standing orders, it was decided that it
should be immediately examined, and the Members re-
tired into the committee rooms accordingly. After the
lapse of half an hour, the Chamber resumed. Groups
were formed at the foot of the tribune, and animated con-
versation took place in all parts of the House.
The President announced that five Committees out of
the nine were of opinion that M. Boissy d'Anglas should
read his proposition, but all discussion or vote upon it was
incompatible with the standing orders.
M. Isambert said, that it could not be even read with-
out violating the standing orders.

M. Dtipin observed, that according to the standiag
orders, if three Committees were of opinion that a pro-
position should be supported in public sittisg, it should be
read in the sitting next after that when it was Lid on the
table. It could not, therefore, be read now without mak-
ing an exception in its favour.

M. 84.11115 i ll'Anglas, who was already at the tribune,
returned to his seat. (The object of the proposition was
to demand that an inquiry be instituted into the recent
events.)
The Chamber then resumed the discussion of the law
relating to the National Guard..
Art. 47, submitting the appointnient of Chefs de Bat-
taillon to an election, which was referred back yesterday
to the Committee, was read and adopted.
Art. 52, which was also referred for consideration, was
reported by the Committee in the following terms:—
" The Majors, Adjutant-Majors, and Surgeon-Majors,
shall be appointed by the King."
M. Vinnet propo.ed the suppression of Majors, or if
persisted in, that they should be nominated by the officers
and sub-officers of the battalion.

M. Agier rose to object to this amendment, and took
occasion to rectify some errors of the Minister of Public
Instruction, in his statements of yesterday respecting the
schools.--(lnterruption. )---" I was yesterday mentioned
in my absence (continued Al. Agier), and surely the
Chamber will allow me to explain..—(Hear.)—le the
morning, and not in she evening, as stated by the Minis-
ter, the Students of the Medical School, united with those
of the Schools of Law, Pharmacy, and the Arts, awl the
pupils of the Veterinary School of Alfont joined us on the
Place du Pantheon, and were very serviceable in repelling
the attacks made upon the National Guards, who were
but few in number, and very touch fatigued. lam en-
abled to relate their language.—(lnterruption.)—Give me
a hearing, Gentlemen, for it is important.--(hear, hear.)
—Their sentiments were not only good, but admirable. 1
will not take up your time in repeating their expressions.
I love the youth of France, but I am certainly not accus-
tomed to flatter. I found them deeply impressed with a
conviction that it was necessary to rally round a throne
founded upon the laws, and a liberty that can only be pre-
served by public order. lat the same time saw behind
the mass of the schools, a body of young men, who were
not of any of these institutions, and who wore ns distin-
guishing mark, that expressed opinions that were repu-
diated by the schools with indignation, and were an-
swered by acclamations of Viva l'Ordre ;' and
when the King came to visit our posts and review us
onthei'
whetherllceFlu
u they
Pantheon,
I will appeal to all who
were present heard any cries but those of
Viva le Roi." These brave and patriotic youths ought
not then to be confounded with the agitators. It has been
said that the schools have tarnished their noble conduct by
a protest. This I cannot believe. I am fully convinced
that if any protests were issued, they never emanated from
the young inert of the schools, but from those whose only
object was to stir up riot and disorder.—(llear, hear.)....
Again, nettling could be marked with greater propriety
than the conduct of the labouring classes.—(Muroitirs of
impatience.).....Allow me, gentlemen, but a few 'Words of
explanation as to the conduct of the labouring classes of
the arrondissement, the legion of which I have the honour
to command. These did their duty as well as the schools,
and all their sentiments were of the most satisfactory na-
ture, expressing a sincere attachment to order, and a ale.
tided aversion to disturbance. All they required was that
the Government should display energy and firmness. It
was the universal cry, that it was time that scandal sad
riot should lie put an end to, and that the Government
should act without hesitation against all who were guilty
of exciting the existing agitation, whatever might be their
rank or statist' in society.—(Cheers from the left.)—The
Government ought to employ none but men who enjoyed
the general confidence, and to make use of the expressions
repeated; it had become necessary that the Government
should assume a real energy, and act with firmness founded
uport wisdom and the laws,

The President of the Counoil (M. Lafitte) then rose,
and said•--" The lion. Member who feat addressed the
Chamber calls upon the Government to display energy, and
take all the precautions required by the present state of
things. I render all justice to his good intentions, but am
caned upon to answer what may be deemed a species of re-
proach to the Ministry, To recommend firmness is in a
measure to declare that it hat been wanting. (' True, true,'
from the centre.) - The country, therefore, ought to be
made aware that the Government has done all that it ought

to have done. A great agitation has prevailed. I have
already said, that Government had reasons to suspect con-
spiracies, and I admit that it was absolutely necessary, and
that the Government was bound to act, as they bad been
apparent. Public tranquillity has been endangered. What
has the Government done ? Has it exerted the full exer-
cise of the power intruded to it by the laws ? Has it
triumphed ? Its only answer and justification is found in
these few words :—Tranquillity is restored. You
must have felt the deep impression made by the prosecu-
tion of the Ex-Ministers. The National Guards, in face
of all the attempts to excite disturbance, protected the in-
dependence of the Judges, and insured their safe retire-
ment from the place of their deliberation. An inquiry
into the late occurrences has been mentioned. I am ready to
give an account of the past ; but as to the future conduct of
the Government, I am bound to be silent. This Chamber is
not the seat of the administration, which must be looked
for elsewhere. In the course of the late disorderly pro-
ceedings, a great number were seized in the very act of
their guilty attempts, and some others have been arrested
,since; and yet an inquiry is talked of; an insinuation
is thrown out that the Ministers have not dune their duty.
Yesterday there was question of a placard that had be. n
posted up. To-day there are doubts raised as to certain
words that have been uttered. As to the placard, 1 re-
peat what I have said already, that its authors were un-
known, and that it was posted up without the authority
of the police, and those who have thus violated the law
lately passed with respect to bill-stickers will be pro-
secuted. There has been some uneasiness expressed on the
ground that the Government has not punished those who
excited the troubles in October. But the Government
did bring before justice those wh• were suspected of being
guilty on that occasion, and the tribunals have dons their
duty. Upon the examination there did not appear suffi-
cient evidence to place many of them upon their trial, and
they were consequently discharged. Others have been
condemned by the Correctional Tribunals to slight punish
ments ; one alone was sentenced to twelve months' impri-
sonment. The rest were sent before a Jury—it has not
been the fault of Government, if they have not yet been
tried—they still remain in prison, where no grace or favour
is shown. On the present occasion, as soon as Govern-
ment shall have acquired all the necessary information,
it will be laid before the Chamber, and all their duties,
of which there is no occasion to remind them, shall be
performed."—(Applause.)
This speech having excited considerable agitation, the
President was obliged to remind the Chamber of the order
of the day, and the number of articles of the law of the
National Guards that still remain for discussion. The
Members resumed their seats, an►d

M. de Manlier resumed the discusiion upon the or-
ganisation of the National Guards, when the 52d article
was adopted.

The following is an extract of a letter from Toulon,
dated Dec. 17 :—" Symptoms of opposition to the new
order of things established in France by the immortal
days of July, are m.tnifesting themselves in Corsica. The
country of the Paella, the most intrepid defenders of liberty,
rejects the blessings to be derived from a Citizen king.
Some agitators, exc►ted by persons allied to the Ex Impe-
rial family, shout publicly ' Vive Napoleon 11.' Placards
have been posted up during the night in the streets of
several towns in the island, and songs are sung by nume-
rous groups, who proclaim young Napoleon Emperor.
These disturbances, however, do not appear to be of a
serious nature."

The National of Saturday says :—" Six days ago only
General Lafayette swore that he would sacrifice his popu-
larity and his life, rather than permit an exasperated people
to violate the independence of a supreme tribunal, and to
attempt the life of men placed under the protection of the
law. The General has kept his word. At the age of
75 be has shown all the spirit and activity of a young mar.
The last three days have been the most glorious and the
most happy days of his life. We say the most happy, for
at other times fortune did not always serve his good inter).
tions, and cowards had it in their power to slander him.
Yesterday the Chamber of Deputies voted the deposition
of General Lafayette (see another part of the lifessager.)
Lafayette was above reward, it is true, that it was thought
also that he would have been above the indignation of a
Rump Parliament."

The Temps of Saturday expresses the decided disap-
probation of the vote of thanks offered by the Chamber of
Deputies to the pupils of the schools, upon the ground of
its tending to give a political consistency to what neither
can nor ought to have it; and to legalize a kind of popu-
lar society of a nature extremely democratical, as it is not
even required to possess the qualification of citizen.
A correspondent at 13erne writes as follows, under date
of the 18th inst. :—A letter from Paris, the authenticity
of which is not to be questioned, states, that two Swiss
Envoys, Messrs. Maillardos and Tschann, lately applied to
the Minister for Foreign Affairs, and requested hint to de-
clare what would be the conduct of France towards Swit-
zerland if a war should break out ? Thr Minister replied
that France was resolved to respect the neutrality of Swit-
zerland, and treat the Swiss as ancient friends and allies;
that she would not interfere in their internal affairs, but
that the moment a corporal and four Austrian soldiers
should violate Swiss; territory, France would enter it
in arms. The courier from Milan announces positively,
that Austria has demanded of the Swiss Directory a free
passage for troops in case she could be compelled to act in
a hostile manner against France. It is not said whether
this request has been acceded to. The canton is still in
the highest state of fermentation. Intimidated for a mo-
ment, and forced to Fromise concessions, by the proclama-
tion of the 6th inst., our Gorerament has again resumed
its courage, and has resolved to put off the performance of
its promises. On the very next day, all petitions were
prohibited, and arrests have taken place in different beili-
wicks of the canton.

Two young advocates, the brothers Dui s, who regu-
larly plead at the Court of Assizes and Correctional Police,
have been arrested for the recent troubles, and their papers
seized.--Journal des Dsbats.

The five great Powers have acknowledged the inde-
pendence of Belgium. The election of Prince Leopold of
Saxe Coburg by the National Congress is spoken of. In
France, we hope to see a French Prince and an English
Princess upon this throne.—Le Temps.
In a soiree of the Palais Royal, the Princess Mary was
complimented by Marshal Gerard upon her near elevation
to the B. lgic throne.—Le Temps.

(From the Times Correspondent )
Mitts, Dec. 25.--Tranquillity has been entirely re-
stored ; but arrests were still executing by the police, and
there was great difficulty on Friday in dissuading an
eminent Member of the Chamber of Deputies from de-
flouncing General Gourgaud, in consequence of violent
language imputed to that officer during the disturbances
early in the week. The political caldron appears to have
been lull of angry elements at the close of the trials, but,
luckily, there was no master demon bold enough to raise
the incantation. Prince Pelignac will not, as the French
papers assert, be sent to the fortress of Ham, in Picardy.
His sentence ought to satisfy his bitterest enemy. By the
25th article of the French civil code, la wort civile (civil
death), to which he is consigned, condemns him
to the lots of the proprietorship of all the goods
which he possesses; the succession of them is forth-
with thrown open to his heirs, upon whom every
thing devolves, exactly as if he died without
making a will. Henceforth be can neither derive,
nor transmit by right of succession ; be can dispose of no
property, in whole, or in part, by gift or by contract ; he
has no title to any thingsbut for' mere subsistence;" he
can neither name a tutor for his children, nor concur in
any arrangetnenta for that purpose. He cannot be a wit-
ness to any authentic act, or be beard in a court of justice.
Ile can neither be named a plaintiff or defendant. He is
ielidered incapable of contracting any marriage, or of having
legitimate succession; the marriage which be had previ-
ously contracted is dissolved, and all the ties arising out of it.
}Bawl(' and children can now divide hisinheritence exactly
as if he were naturally dead. When to this desolate doom
is added a separation from his fellow-prisoners, and per-
petual imprisonment in the bleak fortress of Meant St.
Michael, on a sea-girt rock on the coast of Normandy, a
fortress built by William the Conqueror, and only since in-
habited by severely self-denying tribes of fanatical priests
and smugglers, and their pursuers in ultimate succession,
surely the French Government cannot be accused of letting
the stroke of justice fall lightly upon the devoted head of
this unfortunate Minister. The other prisoners will be
removed next week to Ham, in Picardy.
While the Generals Bertrand and Gourgaud have been
denounced in the political circles of Paris, they have had
audiences of the King at the very moment of the troubles;
the names of Nantil and Danton (nephew of the terrorist
of old) are also stated to be under the surveillance of the
police ; indeed, names of all kinds were freely talked of
in Paris. Meanwhile the King is every where exercising
his personal popularity ; he is both night and day in the
streets reviewing the National Guards, and shaking hands
with the people ; but the Ministers are much embarrassed
in their political operations. They are about to withdraw
and modify their project (4 the Civil List, which both the
King and the Duke of Orleans says they thought from the
beginning to have been fixed upon too extravagant a scale.
The advance of the Russian troops upon Poland was the
source of much inquietude to the pacific portion of the
French Cabinet. They see nothing but a porn! war

Htest-CAsset., Ditc. 10.—It is probable that the de-
bater respecting the proposed new Constitution will be
elosed before Christmas this year. According to all that
his yet transpired relative to the principal articles of this
Constitution, it appears to desire, by its suitableness to the
the present times, to be placed on a par with any other in
Germany, however liberal. The spirit of the feudal system,
Which predominated in the old Constitution, has been
wholly done away with. Nay, after mature consideration
of all the interests concerned, it has even been dt eider!, that
there shall be only one Chamber, without, however, grant-
ing to the democratie principle more than the circum-
stances of the time require. The Princes of the Electoral
House, the beads of the noble families, and the senior of
the baronial family of Riedesel (as an indemnity for the ,
dignity of President of the Diet, hitherto held as hereditary
Marshal), will have seats in it, and the equestrian order
will' continue to send eight Deputies,. The Deputies from
the towns and country will he about SO or 35, who will
be eboien by a double election.
