FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Moniteur of Sunday.)

PARIS, SEPT. 4.—The nominations of Ambassa.
don or Ministers sent by the King to reside at fa-
reign Courts, which have been lately announced in
the journals, are not correct. No nomination of
this kind has yet taken place.
CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, Sere. 5.
LAVITTE, PRESIDENT.

After the conclusion of some formal busbies•,
The President read the following letter from the
Marquis de la 'l3oesiere, so notorious on account of
his proposal to issue an inquisitorial commission
against the newspapers :
" M. le President,•--Having fallen ill in the month
of July, when I was on the point of repairing to
the Chamber, I could not take a part in its first sit-
tings. Had I been present, I should have risen,
like many of my Hen. Friends, to protest against the
right which the Chamber arrogated to itself to take
away and to confer the crown, as well as against its
right to alter the. charter.—(Violent outcries.)—
Under existing circumstances, I shall not deprive
myself of my qualification as a deputy—(Outcries
still more violent).—but I shall decline sitting in
the Chamber—(Laughter)—where my presence
would be against the oath which I have taken. To
act otherwise would be to betray the confidence
with which my constituents have honoured rne. I
have the honour to be,
" The Marquis de la BOESTERE."
(Great laughter and murmuring followed the termi•
nation of this letter.)
The President--Does the Chamber consider this
letter as a resignation ?
The answer was unanimoull—" Unquestionably."
The letter was then ordered to be sent to the
Minister of the Interior.
M. Daunant, deputed by the Committee of Peti-
tions, said that a great number of free inh►►bitants of
colour of Point-a-Petre (Guadeloupe) complained
that sundry enactments, colonial ordinances, and
Ministerial letters had deprived them of the benefit

of legality in spite of the law which assured to them
the ordinances of Louis XIII. and Louis XIV.
They desired to enjoy the same civil and political
rights as the whites of our colonies. A great num-
ber of free men of colour of Martinique made the
same claims. M. Daunaut informed the Chamber
that many of the injurious distinctions of which the
free men of colour complained had already been
abolished by Royal ordinances, and that the existing
Government was now seriously engaged in consider-
ing their situation. The Committee proposed that
these petitions should be forwarded to the Minister
of Marine and the Colonies, and placed in the
bureau des renseignemens.
M. Alexandre de la Borde proposed that the peti-
tion should also be forwarded to the Keeper of the
Seals, It is time for us to occupy ourselves with
an entire population which has so long groaned under
the most severe yoke. The day of justice has ar-
rived for every body. We have long been trying
for the appointment of a Committee to inquire into
the state of our colonies, and this demand has al-
ways been refused to us. At this moment, when
we are occupying ourselves with moderating aristo•
cracy in all its branches, we do not occupy ourselves
with moderating the most stupid of all aristocracies, '
the aristocracy of theskin.--(Shoutsof laughter.)

The Minister of Marine—The petition now pre-
sented to the Chamber is very important. The new
charter has prescribed a new form of government for
the colonies. That legal Government will be pre-
sented to your consideration as soon as possible, but
a system of legislation, which must embrace regu-
lotions for the judicial and for the executive branches
of the Government, cannot be formed at a moment's
notice without danger. All the measures which
the King's Government can take basic been already
taken, There were some distinctions very morti-
fying to the free men of colour—they have been
abolished. Orders have been given that, in future,
the free men of colour shall receive the title of
Monsieur its all public instruments. They were
condemned to see themselves undone(' apart in ell
public places; they are to be admitted hereafter
upon the same footing as the wishes.

A Voice —The government of the Waal by the
whites is in all countries a system pregnant with
horrors.

M. Sebastiani followed on the some side with the
Minister of Marine.

M. de Tracy was convinced that the happy in-
nuence of the glorious revolution which had just
been effected would be felt in every part of the
French dominions. lie called upon the Minister of
Marine to revoke the monstrous ordinances re-
specting the free men of colour as inconsistent with
the fundamental principles of the charter.
M. Lana de Villeveque said, that the greatest
benefit which could be• conferred on the colonies
would be a review of the ordinances by which they
are governed, and the formation of a complete code
of legislation for their inhabitants. At the census
taken In 1764, after the pence of Versailles, it was
found that there were in each of the two colonies
of Martinique and Guadeloupe about 3,000 or 4,000
fret' men of colour. In spite of all the regulations
witieb have been made to restrain the increase of
their timbers, they now amount to 18,000 or
10000. This population evidently forms the basis
of each of our colonies, and the amelioration of their
destiny is one of the most urgent objects that de-
mand our consideration, lie supported the amend.
merit of M. de la horde.

The amendment and the original motion were
both agreed to.
After some discussion, the petition was sent to
the Ministers of Marine and Justice.
-- Cochrane, the late Governor of the ling-
lish island of Dominique, claimed payment of a debt
resulting from advances made by him to the French
authorities of Guadeloupe in 1801.
. .

The Committee proposed the sending this to the
Minister of Marine and the Colonies.

General Lafayette—l support the,proposal made
to you by the Committee. I shall profit by this oc-
casion to make some brielobservations on an im.
portent subject relating to French commerce.—
(Marked attention,)—The recognition of the re-
publics of South America has been made by the
Visited States. England, after somehesitation, de-
aided on recogisising them. Up to the present time
this recognition has been delayed In France by the
prejudices of two camarillas.—(Latighter.)—l know
that the present Government is occupied concern.
ing this recognition; I shall profit by the presence
of the Minister for Foreign Affairs, to request him
to inform the Chamber as fully as he is able of what
the Government, intends to do.

M. IVfol6, Minister for Foreign Affairs—l thank
the illustrious General for giving me this opportu-
nity of explaining myself on this point in the pre-
sence of the Chamber. Government has decided
this question, which I must say bad heretofore been
deferred too long. The King has ordered me to
write to our agents with the American Govern-
ments, and to those of these
.Governments who are
now- bete, tOitito that he is ready to recognize the
"Ifitonce of these. Governments, And to treat COW.
"thing out commercial interests with their agents
elierged w'th full powers.—(From all sides—Excel-
ient 1 excellent 1)
The recommendations of the Committee were
