FRENCH PAPERS.

CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.--Sirrwo or Auo. 17.

The President took the chair at one o'clock. He read
letters from M. de Comity, Al;de Beausiet,l4l. Cacqueray,
M. Rather Laplyrade, M. Coutatk and M. I?ontenay, an.
upswing thew resignation : the letters Were referred to the
Minister of the Interior. The President then read several
letters from members, apologising for their absence on the
ground of indisposition.
Mews. Dutemple de Chevrigny end Gibon, returned
by the arrondisaement colleges of Ile et Vilaine, whose ad-
nussione bad been adjeurned, were admitted upon the.
report of the fourth bureau; but upon another report of
the SMe bureau, the election! Messrs. &bat de Tri,-
gornsin, Dupleseis de Grenedau, and Montbourget, returned
by the Grand College of the same diepartnient, were after
some discuerion declared void. The election of AL Ver-
dillon by the arrundissernerit college of Marseilles was also
declared void, as were returns of Alassm. Pardessus and
Roux by the departmental College of the Bouches du Rhone,
M. Merschal then roue •in the name of the Committee
appointed to examine the proposal of M. Mercier, relative
to the oath to be taken by functioperiete " A new com-
pile'," said he, has bound the French nation and the
Prince to whom it has intrusted the care and direction of
her future destiny. This compact has been rendered a
sacred one by the oath which has been taken by the Chief
of the State. It ought also to be taken by the delegates of
his authority. In a country of liberty, the oath of the
public functionaries binds them with regard to the Prince
ought to bind them equally to their country." After
having reviewed the existing laws as to the oath of alle-
giance, the Hon. Member moved the adoption of the fol-
lowing proposition:a... • ;
" Art. 1. All public functionaries, as well administra-
tive es judicial-411 officers of the army and navy, shall he
bound to take an oath couched in these terms swear
fidelity to the King of the French, obedience to the con-
stitutional charter Ind to the laws.'
Art. 2. There shall be nothing added to or altered in
the farm of this oath, othetwise than by virtue of an ex.
press law.
Art. 3. All the functionaries now in office, as well ad-
ministrative CS judicial, and all officer's now employed, or
&this to be called Into service, whether in the army or
navy, shalt be allowed fifteen days from the day of the
rblicstion of this present law, to take the above oath,
m default whereof they shall be considered as having re-
signed their offices or commissions."
The Chamber resolved that this law should be taken
into consideration to-morrow.
The Minister of Wee then rose to ley before the Cham-
ber a project of law, having for its object a legal and de-
finitive settlement of the situation of officers in the army
and navy. He stated, that up to the let of January, 1828,
the condition of officers had been compromised by harsh
and rigorous menaures; previous to that period both
Chambers frequently resounded with complaints, till at
length the Government was induced to do justice to
them, end the ordinance of the 18th of February, 1821),
appeared, but it attained very imperfectly the end pre-
pense!. It is not intended, however, to settle definitively
dm condition of all military and naval officers until the
erode be adopted which, in future, will regulate the priu-
triples upon which their rights and claims are to he esta-
blished.
" Louis Philippe, &c.
" Art. 1. In future officers of the army cannot be de-
prived of their rank but by their own resignation, or by a
judicial condemnation comprehending dismissal. In all
other cuss they are either in activity, non-activity, or on
the retired list.
" Art. 2. The King, as supreme chief of the army,
regulates all that relates to activity or non-activity.
" Art. •3. The basis of patties of half-pay on retirement
from active service, and of pensions to widows and orphans

" Art. 4. Pensions for soldiers shall front henceforth be
regulatedi according to the scale annexed to the prevent law.
" Art. b. All grants of military pensions hitherto made
are and shall remain confirmed.
" Art. 0, Nothing is changed in the regulations now in
form for the liquidation of military pensions as now esta-
blished by laws, ordinances, and regulations, upon the sub.
ject, end beseaftee no modifications can be made otherwise
then by an -express
" Art. 7. From end sifter the let of January, 1830,

ohms, as to meet the increased number of pettaions to be fetid.
" Art. 8. The drawbacks in favour of the Hotel des

the Treasury, are suppressed, so far as relates to arrears
posterior to the 31st of December of the present year, and
se far as relates to all other pensions posterior to the 22d
of the same month.
" Art. 11. An annual sum of 1,600,000 f. shall be carried
to the estimates of the War Department, to date front

tioned drawbacks, ant! shall be carried to the account of
the endowment of the Hotel des lavender."

The Chamber ordered the project to be printed and die.
Whaled.
The Minister of the Interior then proposed the follow-
ing law project :
" Art. 1. Every Deputy who slid hereafter accept any
public office to which a salary is annexed shall lie eonei•
dared by the act itself to have resigned hie seat as a mem-
ber of the Chamber of Deputies.
" Art. U. Nevertheless, he shall continue to sit 'in the
Chamber until the day when the eleetion for which his
acceptance of such salaried public office has given rise shall
be completed.
" Art. 3. All military, efficere, up to the rank of Lieu.
temmi.Colonel inclusive, are excepted from the provision.

" Art. 4. Deputies who by resent, of their acceptance
public aims sta have ceased to form port of the Cham-
ber of Deputies, are eligible to be re.eleeted.
" Art. h. The present law Abell he applicable to all
Deputies promoted to puhlie offices since the opening of
the present arssioa."
Tits project was referred to the bureaux.
The Minister of Interior then proposed mother late
project, conceived in the following terms
" Art. I. An extraordinary grant of 6,000,000 E is
made out of the sums voted for the public service of 1880,
to ha granted to the Mitniteref the Interior. tofu, employed
la public works, and fur other urgent and indispensable
purposes.
• ** Art. 2. Ac account of the employment of this grant
0411 be rendered in the accustomed legal terms."
The Minister then announced that the works had ac-
teeny been commenced in:virtue of a royal ovilinattec.
M. Jars than rase to make a Report of the Committee
churl to examine the proposition made by M. Dolmen
relative to reward' and pension, to he granted to the
wounded, and to the widows and orphans of those who
fell victims on the 117th, 28th, and 29th of July

other relief. The proceedings of this Commission shall
be submitted to the Chambers."
" A list of the eitisens who have merited reward*, sod
a list of those who have fallen, shall be inserted in the
,bulletin of ihe Laws and the Musiteur."
The President proposed that this project should he dis-
cussed after that of M. Mercier, relative to the oath.
&viral voices.—llefore it.
M. Marschal—l propose thet the oath shall have the
priority. That law will meet with no opposition, awl all
most admit its urgency. The public funetlorisriee are not
yet properly bound to the present Government. Since
lb* revolution things have been allowed to remain in the
tune tear wkielt they were found. It is necessary that all
biligistratee and officers should be concocted with the
estettog system by the obligation of an oath. Every day

The object of the present (Wilms/mien I rgnly
enmities" of taking my motion inn, ' the
taiilJ4 p 411140 twifiao toped merely to It, all
ifisrlt,' counot suppose that a *object it,f

.o*We times, occupied the attention of many phi.
Wit* and enlightened men, can be disposed of by
*SA* e Order of the Day. However,. in conformity
With the intention of our rules, I shall briefly state the
principal reasons in support of my motion, along with the
advantageous results which, I think, must be obtained by
its adoption after mature consideration. The proposition
which I have the honour to submit to you, is the inevitable
and necessary consequence of one fundamental principle ;
namely, that of the inviolability of the life of man. This
principle, which still meets with opposition from enlarged
minds and generous hearts, will, 1 hope, be more favourably
received after due light shall have been thrown on it by a
lung and solemn discussion. To judge of the truth of this
principle, thibest, the surest method, is to look into our
consciences, and to examine the habits to which we have
been accustomed from our earliest years. A feeling of
horror is excited by the idea of the destruction of our
fellow-creatures, if not arising from seltdefence. This
sentiment was not placed in our hearts without purpose.
his the feeling of nature, and we cannot learn without
shuddering of the execution of criminals, even though no
doubt whatever existed of their guilt. This principle,
which I should like to see inscribed, as it were, on the
frontispiece of all legislation, is the abolition of the punish-
ment of death. I have no need to discuss the question of
utility here, for no one will attempt to uphold before you
that as useful which is unjust. • Yet if I chose to embrace
the•question in this other point of view, I should only be
embarrassed by the choice of arguments. The proofs of
the utility of the abolition of the punishment of death
are scattered through the works of the most illustrious
men, of the' most respected philosophers of all ages,
and of all countries, •as well among the ancients as
among the moderns. Every one who has considered this
important question has decided upon it in the affirmative.
I will not mention the happy experiments which have
heen made in Tuscany, and which have been approved by
several crowned heads. A very agreeable task could be
imposed on me—that of exposing to your eyes the sub-
lime consequences, the happy results, of the abolition of
the punishment of death, as well as respects private as
public manners. It is here first a remedy to the terrible
effects of the practice of duelling must be sought for,—
effects 'which have become much weakened in modern
times.' We know that Under the reign of Henry IV.
0,000 letters of pardon in favour of duelliste were sent
out. The rage for duelling in the present day is far from
being so great. Upon the subject of the danger of punish-
ment of death I could quote to you the works of a cele-
brated member of the Constituent Assembly, Adrien Du-
port, who apparently foresaw the terrible use which party
might make of capital punishment to destroy their adver-
saries. The chief argument against the punishment of
death is its irreparability. We know that in the last year
eleven persons condemned to death owed their life to an
appeal to the Court of Cateration. Those men were inno-
cent, and yet they only owed their existence to a slight
formal defect in the passing of judgment. Before de-
scending from the tribune, permit me to felicitate you on
being able solemnly to explain this principle by the present
circumstancts.:Can a more favourable moment exist to sub-
mit Its you the solution of this principle, than that in
which prodigies of valour have restored to us our liberty ?
What circumstances can there be more favourable for a like
improvement of our penal laws than those in which a
mild compassion, in the midst of the intoxication of vie-
tory, has presented the splendid spectacle of the victor pi-
tying the misfortunes of the vanquished, and mitigating
the force of a just revenge. Never could a more favour-
able conjuncture occur for carrying into effect the proposi-
tion which I have the honour to submit to you.—(A very
lively expression of approbation on the left.)
111. de Montigny, in a written discourse of some length,
treated the question as one surrounded with great Mead-
tiers, and contended that they should not take upon them.
selves the responsibility of an innovation which ought to
be preceded by careful consideration and discussion.
General Lafayette—l think, contrary to the opinion
entertained by my Hon. Colleague, that the abolition of
the punishment of death is a principle, or to speak more
correctly, a separate notion, which stands quite indepen-
dently of judicial ameliorations, the necessity of which I,
in common with him, feel and admit. I shall perlist in
demanding it, inasmuch as no one has proved to me the
infallibility of human judgments. Gentlemen, this is not
a new question. The abolition of the punishment of
death has always been demanded by the most respectable
civilians, and in the Constituent Assembly by a number
of Deputies ; I shall only mention three—Adrien Duport,
one of the most distinguished of Magistrates ; M. de
Tracy, father of my lion. Friend, the author of the ad.
mirahle commentary upon Montesquieu ; and, lastly, the
virtuous nochefoticald, the true pattern of an excellent
citizen, so lamentably, so basely assassinated at Orisons on
the 10th of August, This question at present occupies
the attention of the Congress of the United States; it was
introduced there by the same Edward Livingston who
commenced and completed the work in the legislature
of the state of Leusiana. What a mistbrtune, Gen-
tlemen, that the abolition of the punishment of death
was not adopted by the Constituent Assembly !
What irremediable afflictions should we not have escaped !
—Even the majority of those who concurred in the
multitude of condemnations that then occurred, how
glad would they have been to atone, though at the ex-
pence of their own blood, the part which they took ! I
avow, that ever since our political storms, I have enter-
tained an invincible horror of the punishment of death.
Our present revolution possesses a character altogether
different from preceding once. We behold in it the most
distinguished generosity, united with patriotism and cou-
rage. It is worthy of this last revolution, to murk its
commencement by the,great act of humanity which nay
Horn Friend proposes. I vote for taking the proposition
into intmerliete consideration.

M. de Belida was moving towards the tribune for the
purpose of supporting the adjournment, but gave way to
another speaker.
Al. Lepelletier d'Aulnay thought the Chamber ought
well to consider the u►e it was about to make of the initia-
tive power it now possessed. The consequence of its par-
taking of that initiative power would be, that Ministers
would be ready of themselves to propose ameliorating sad
necessary reforms, and the present sitting afforded a proof
of his assertion. He therefore thought it behoved the
Chamber to proceed cautiously. He was partly of the
opinions of the mover of the proposition, but the qutm.
tion was a grave one, and required more deliberate consi-
deeatioe. The author himself established an entirely new
gradation of crimes and punishment. He therefore should
vote for an ialournrnent, in order that the author of the
proposition might have time to prepare a more complete
work.

M. de Tracy said he ought to have expected a differ.
me of opinion to be expressed, but not thinking that his
proposition would meet with any opposition in it* present
stage, he had abstained front using a superfluity of ergo.
meat. As for presenting a complete code, as had been
asked of him, that was far beyond his powers. He had
merely confined himself to opening the important question,
and desiring that it might be solemnly discussed.
M. itambateau—Let it not be said that so generous a
proposition has been rejected without examination.
Voice from the Centre—.No one wishes it to be rejected
„without exarnitttion. TtirAttijournment is only wanted.
M. Itambuteau voted (Or its being taken into immediate
consideration.

The adjournment having the priority according to rule,
was rejected by a large majority, formed of the two *ee-
lions of the left, and a part of the centre-right. A roil
greater majority decided that the subject should be taken
into immediate nonaiderationo

M, de la Pinsonnfera expressed his surprise at seeing
OM of the benches without Members, who had neither
sent in their resignation 'nor taken the oath to the new
King and the new Charter. A great number of deputations
were consequently left inconsplete, and a large extent of
territoty and s number of different interests unrepresented.
tie therefore moved that 0 all Deputies who shall not have
taken the oath, or at least signified their concurrence, be.
fore the expiration of lb days from the publication of the
present law, chill he considered as having resigned their
seats, Wile** prevented by Mee reasonable cause!"
On all slilea—Recendod, supported.
M. de Itfartignen rose and addressed the Chamber to the
following et eet i—i easily conceive the motives which
have dictated the proposition you have just' heard i but I
am *till in hope that it will be useless to to have recourse to
this fatal necessity, and I beg to submit to the Chambers a
few obaervations. It is no doubt of importance in the se.
lions circumstances in which we are placed, that all inte-
rests should be represented in the Chambere—that every
part of the country should have so interpreter of its wishes,
wont., and complaints. The importance of this subject is
such as not to allow toe to doubt that it is duly felt, and
this is recisely what makes are look upon the measure
'tided' has Iwo prop ed to you as modem. One obstacle
only keeps yet at home, and from this hall, several Members
of the Chamber, and assuredly tide obstacle is the necessity
of a new oath. There is in the obligation of forsaking
thou whom we have defended, and of transferring the oittli
of 4delity from one dynasty to another, something which
alarms the conscience and oppresses the heart. This moral
resistance can only yield to the voice of a still more im-
perious duty, and that duty requires to be well and am-
tore), considered. Duce it exist for us Deputies of
Eta"? Tlii* is what we ought to have examined, and

Lion, convinced as I am that there is not a true feeling,
or a conscientious opinion, that may not be expressed
here when expressed with frankness and dignity. My
political friends and myself, attached to the Royal Rouse
which has just fallen, have done every thing that our
conscience and reason commanded us, to preserve it
from the new misfortune which has befallen it. We
have long known the wishes, the wants, the resources of
France, and we have no reproaches to make to ourselves
of having concealed them.—(Sensation.)—ln a memoir
which was transmitted to the King in October, 1828, and
one passage of which I will quote here, we said—" No
other means of security, no measure of a different nature
can present themselves to our minds ; for our institutions
do not admit of any other, and we shall never look for any
beyond them. The wisdom of two Kings has made great
concessions to France ; Fiance has eagerly adopted them.
In the present state of opinion, to think of withdraw-
ing, of suspending, or modifying them, would endanger
royalty itself; and certainly no ene iu France would have
the fatal courage (funesee), to give such advice to the
King."
Several voices—Good ! good ! This is how Ministers
ought to speak.
M. de Martignac—Tbis fatal courage others have had,
and the consequence of their foolish presumption and in-
explicable ignorance of the state of the country, was the
overthrow in two days of a throne which had existed
eight centuries. We have .not witnessed without pro-
found grief this frightful overthrow. We have accost.
palsied with our regret sad with the respect due to august
misfortune, those unhappy Princes, who wanted nothing
to enable them to fulfil their exalted destiny, but a proper
distrust of false friends, and better understanding of the
country they were called to govern, and of the times
in which we live. We wish in this great shipwreck it
were possible to abide by the principle of iegiti►nacy, that
conservative principle which the Chamber has recently de-
signated as yet more salutary fur the people than for
Kings, Such has not been the case ; the nature of
things, the force of circumstances, and the power of events
have not permitted it. Menaced with all the evils which
attend anarchy,—yielding to the law of necessity,—re-
ceiving from that necessity a mandate which no other an,
thority can dispute,--you have declared the throne of
France vacant, modified the Charter, annulled promotions
to the peerage, drawn up a declaration of the rights of the
country, and proclaimed a King and a dynasty. My
friends and myself having taken nn part in these acts, find
I ourselves in the presence of a deed accomplished. It is in
this situation that the grave consideration is presented to us,
whether we ought to abandon our posts or submit to the
oath which is required of us. It is granted that until now
we have been divided on this question. I confess it, I had
dOubts when I saw my noble and generous friend, M.
Hyde de Neuville, adopt an opinion contrary to my own.
It required a profound conviction to enable me to resist
the force of his example ; but this conviction I entertain,
and it is not for me to conceal the voice of my heart, when
I feel it to be emphatically that of my conscience. Nothing
is more simple or more easy then the part of retirement.
In that is to be found peace to the heart and repose to the
mind. It may ho added, that it is unattended with
danger, for the organs of prevalent opinion are prodigal in
praise of those who retire, and bold them up with no in-
considerable ingenuity as a model for all those who are
in a similar position ? Rut is this really honour ? la this
the clearly understood performance of duty ? Ido nut
think so, anti I boldly say so. Deputies, we hold our
mandate not from royalty, but from our country. This
mandate was given to us under other circa stances, for a
state of things more legal and more regulai; but ought we
to desert it because circumstances haie become more grave,
more menacing, more difficult? The soil of our country
is still rocking with the violent shock which overturned
the throne—ought we to abandon those who labour to
make it firm, at the risk of subjecting society itself to fresh
shucks? Convinced as we ought to be, since we profess to
be so, that our principles are the wisest, ought we to
renounce 'the making the expression of them heard
when we hiive received an express mission so to do ?
Laws on which the tranquillity of the future entirely
depends are to be submitted to the Chamber,
on which we have a right to put forth an opinion,
and to give or refuse a vote. Shall we leave without
an organ, at this decisive moment, the country which has
nominated us,—the opinion which we represent,—the in-
terests of every kind which have been confided to us?
And if misfortunes, which we might have avoided are the
consequence of this inconsiderate resolution, should we not
be responsible in our own eyes, in the eyes of our fellow-
citizens, for the mischief which we have allowed to be
done ? And if our example were followed by the electors
who have invested us with our power, could we calculate
the consequences of such imprudence ? For me, Gentle-
men, I have no doubt, and toy duty is as clear to me as the
light of day. We ate at a moment of effervescence and
prepossession. I will oppose with all my strength the
dangers of precipitation : I will wait with patience for re-
tlec►iou. I will resist being led away. I will combat all
that appears dangerous to me. When they shall speak to
me in the name of liberty, a language which I understand
full well, I will speak in the name of order, and all the
world will understand me. I will oppose experience to
theories, the interest of my country to the interest of party.
I. will demand the execution of the laws if I think I see
them violated. If I see our streets or squares filled with
ignoble images, or the misfortunes of time great handed over
to derision and outrage, I will invoke the public decency,
which in France has also the authority of the law. I will
call upon her until justice be done----until there only re-
mains shame at insulting unfortunate old age and fallen
power ; ammo I am sure that no man will disavow this.
Several voices—lt is well known from whom the earl-
catureshave proceeded. .

M. de Mahignac—This, as I conceive, is cur duty.
How is such a line of conduct inconsistent with honour .4
and what idea can they entertain of honour who blame us
for adopting it? Have we here any personal interest to
consider, any ambition to satisfy ? Are we the creatures of
a new power asking for favour, and founding on a change
of language and doctrine the hopes of a new fortune ? Are
these the results we seek—the triumphs we hope for? It
is not for us, destined to contend against an impulse which
pushes us forward, that triumphs arc reserved. A labo.
rious task,—one difficult, and condemned beforehand by
persons the most distinguished : such is our sad lot. But
the lot which our fellotWcitizene have cast on us is prefer.
able to an useless inactivity, however honourable the tno.
tive on which it is founded. These are some of the con.
sideretions which determined us : it was time that they
should be clearly explained. This explanation, to which
we shall not revert again, was called for by the proposi.
t'on which has been made to you.—(Much excitemento
—I cannot but believe that, after having heard us, those
of our colleagues who still hesitate will feel the necessity of
regaining the post to which they have been called, and I
am confident they will remain generous citizens after hav»
ing been faithful subjects.--(A movement, )—I do not up.
pose taking the measure into vonsideration, but I do hope
that before the law can come into operation it will have
become useleas,—..(Unequivocal marks of Iteeent on the

-The instant M. de Martignac returned to hie place, M.
Delalot, end several others of his colleagues, shook hands
with him cordially.
It was unanimously decided, that the proposition of M.
tie la Pinsonniere should he taken into► consideration.
The Prettident—The order of the del is disposed of.

PARIS, anourr 17.
A deputation of the Court of Caseation waited yesterday
morning, at half-past ten, on the Keeper of the Seale.
The Presidents and Counsel**, were simply dressed in
black clothes; they left off the small cloak which they
formerly wore on such occasions.
The law which recalls those who were banished, and
abolishing the punishments pronounced against them by
the late Government for political offences, will be presented
to the Chambers in a very few days, It certainly Is one
of those laws, the annullieg of which merited the greatest
attention. The greater part of the exiles who have not
returned have been deprived of those rights which it has
been found necessary to acknowledge. The solution that
the law will present appears to be Sufficient to satisfy Jo-
tice and the demands of the country. It appears that the
law will also comprise all offences of the Public Presa ;
the formalities required according to the ordinances respect-
ing engravings, drawings, advertisements, he. It will
be so arranged that the law can be modified hereafter ac-
cording as the public interest may require, conformably to
the new system of Government.
Colonels Handrail and Athalin, Aitles.de-Camp to the
King, set out on Sunday as the bearers of autograph letters
for the Sovereigns of England and Russia.
General Lafayette on Monday visited the hospital of La
Charith anti Necker. He has also visited M. Fernand
Cortex, a Spanish refugee officer, who we, seriously
wounded on the 29th of July.
The following Is an extract of a letter from Alhi
" The son of the Prince de Polignac was lately here. This
youth, aged IS, was attended by an ecclesiastic, his tutors
who had been recommended to the situation by thellithell
Hermopolis. On learning the defeat 'of Ministers at
Paris, this worthy preceptor left his pupil at a mi'

seeable ion, taking with him the carriage, horses, bag.
gage, and money. The youth, left to himself, had no
other resource than that of going to the Mayor of the town,
to whom be declared his name and situation. A passport
and money were given him to proceed to his family."
On Monday night, from nine to a late hour, a great
crowd assembled round the church of St. Eustache, to
witness the disinterment of the bodies of nearly 100 indi-
viduals who had fallen in the late conflict, and were de.
posited in the vaults of that edifice. It seems, that on
the Wednesday of the Great Week, a number of cajun,
were abet by the troops in the Rue du Jour, and adjoin-
ing streets, and their bodies carried into the church, until
an opportunity should offer of transporting them to some
of the public cemeteries ; but from the difficulties pre-
sented to this arrangement by the numerous barricades in
the streets, and the intense heat of the weather rendering
it impossible to keep them for any leugth of time above
ground, with a due regard to the health of the neighbour-
hood, it was determined to lift the pavement stones of the
church, and to convert the vaults beneath into their final
resting place. This was actterdingly done ; but notwith-
standing every precaution adopted to prevent any bad effects
arising from such a mass of corrupting matter under the
building, the noxious effluvia became so intolerable on
Sunday last, that it was deemed necessary to remove
the bodies on the following night. The operation was a
tedious one, as many of them were in a state of rapid de-
composition. Among the remains thus disinterred were
those of several of the Swiss Guards, and four or dee
females.

The Moniteur of this morning contains eight Royal
ordinances. By the first, Lieutenant-General Count
Gerard is raised to the dignity of fifarshal of France.
By the second, General Lafayette is definitively confirmed
in the post of Commandant General of the National Guards
of the kingdom. A third appoints M. Duple, sen.,- to
he Procureur-General of the Court of Cessation. A
finirth appoints M. Gilbert de Voisins to be a Judge of the
same Court, in the room of M. Cardonnel. The remainder
01 the ordinances contain a long list of appointments of
Sub-Prefects, Mayors, and other officers.
We are assured that the Government have received a
telegraphic despatch, announcing the arrest of the Prince
de Polignac, in the night of the Ifith inst. He was dis-
guised as a servant, and had a passport, which stated that
i.e was in the service of Madame de St. Fargrau. He
was accompanied by a person, who is presumed to be
M. de Montbel. They were both sent to St. Lo under a
strong escort. The rumours of the arrival of . the Ea.
Minister in England, Ifolland, and other countries, are
now believed to have been set afloat by his friends, with a
view to favour his escape, by leading the Government to
relax its vigilance.

Madame- Chantelsune has just left Lyons for Tours,
where her husband is in prison. She has shown to several
of her friends a letter from the Ex-Minister, in which he
deplores the blindness of Charles X. M. Chantelaute
states, that the ordinances were yearmly opposed by Minis-
ters, and that it was the am' will of the Ex• King
that forced from him and his enileigues their signatures.
A letter of the 13th iMit./from Bayonne, announces,
that the Abbe Mignano,' one of the most active agents of
M. Calomarde, had passed through that town, charged, it
was said, with a mission from that Minister to the Spanish
Ambaseador at Paris. The Abbe Mignano did not leave
Madrid till after the arrival of M. Burgos, who had been
lent to Paris to acquaint M. Calumarde with the events
that have occurred in France.

ILureas, JULY SI.
The conspiracy, happily discovered in time, has had no
serious result. We are looking for the Turks, in order to
send them away, without exception, for it is they that
have excited the inhabitants against us.
The shops are closed, and great consternation is ob-
served. We are strong, and fear nothing. The guns of
the Casauba are pointed towards the city, as well as those
of the marine artillery.
Houses are pulling down to make broad streets, and an
open space to assemble the troops.
The number of the sick doer not diminish; some regi-
ments have as many as 600. The marine artillery has 60
men, out of 400, in the hospital. We do not yet know
any thing about the occupation of the country; we wish
very much to have it decided ; we have now five sating
hollers, coffeehouses, billiard rooms, and magazines ar-
ranged with some degree of neatness. We have the Hotel
des Ambassadeurs, the lintel de Malta, and others. The
first has always 60 or 60 persons at it.. table d'hote.
The Jew. render the greatest services to the French po-
lice. hf. de Bourmont his issued the following decrees in
their fsvour

" The Commander-in-Chief, Peer of Prince,
General of the armies of the King.
" Seeing the petition signed by several Israelites, desiring

FRENCH REVOLUTION.

The following is the speech delivered at the Free-
aeraveVdeudnadeledr
ev,
Gentlemen,—Coming among you as a French citi-

Lafayette, it is for these reasons I shall have the honour
een, and as an old officer who has served under General
of being listened to if you should be pleased to allow me
to address you, after the eloquent and just eulogium which
the Horn Gentleman (Air. Hobbouse) has just pronounced
on the patriarch of liberty, to which it is impossible that
any thing can be added. I am persuaded that I cannot
better reply to the generous effusions of sympathy for the
General and the French nation to which you have given
expression, than by adverting to the great events which
have occurred, and to their consequences. The epoch
which you are now celebrating, gentlemen, will be most
memorable fur future ages. It will be for ever dear to
posterity, because it is destined to rpread constitutions)
liberty throughout the world. The years which followed
1780 were deplorable for my country. The
should rather say the determination.—to be free, cost many
thousands of my countrymen their lives. Like many I other fruits, those of liberty are dangerous before they
are ripe. But you see, gentlemen, our misfortuues have
instructed us. In these ever memorable days, the labour-
ing classes began and completed that glorious revolu-
tion which we all admire. Posterity will sanction
your applauise. It Will honour the names of those ge.
nervily artisans,...thos simple and modest citisens who
have, by their protium el well as their courage, est an

Millie to all ranks. Their disinterestedness, their hu-
manity, and their discretion, have surpassed their heroism.
Their sublime conduct must convince the people of all
countries that the results of civilization in political im-
provement are immense. The people of England, better
judges of the advantages of civilization than any other,
now crown our success by their approbation, and by their
humane zeal in succouring the widows and orphans of the
brave men who perished in defending the sacred cause of
liberty. Gentlemen—you have been teachers; English-
men have preceded us in the constitutional career. May
I be permitted to say, especially after the eulogy pro-
nounced on my fellow-citizens by the Chairman, that they
will prove themselves worthy scholars, and that, pene-
trated with a just gratitude, they will endeavour in their
turn to give lessons to other nations? Civilization, gen-
tlemen, is slow. Let us, then, unite our efforts to ex-
tend its influence, and diffuse its benefits. But we ought
to be on our guard lest immoderate enthusiasm—lest a
too eager and inconsiderate desire to propagate liberal
Rtinciples—lead to errors which we might long have
to regret. Allow an old soldier of liberty to say, that
in so delicate a matter it is wise not to be precipi-
tate. Let us imitate nature. The young bird does not
leave the nest until its wings are capable of supporting le
in the air ; and the child, while learning to walk, needs
the care of his tender mother. It is the same with na-
tions. They should not be emancipated unti,lobexutuler.
stand their rights and their duties. It, imtel,
endeavour to instruct them by tumid - 44,11. '
imitated. Civilization, gentlemen, wil u *irk
yi
peace to the world. It will put' an to thcle'lltritt
wars which have no other motive thll%.iiißet alPtice or
princes the personal animosities of sovereigto ierministers.
Human blood has too often moistened the earth to gratify
their passions. But such times are happily now remote
from us, and we may congratulute ourselves that they
never will return. Several Englishmen have fought in
the ranks of the Parisians, and all England applauds the
victory they have obtained. Every thing proves that
there is no longer any national hatred,—that prejudices
no longer exist amongst us. The two nations Intl hence,"
forth have no rivalahip, except in extending liberal prin.
ciples, and in teaching tuitions how to obtain liberty with-
out violence and without disasters. Gentlemen, I pro-
pose as a toast—' A friendly and lasting union between
the English and the Preach people.' This fraternal uaion
would give liberty to the world, and secure the happiness
of mankind."
