" CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES—Smmo or At m. 19.
" M. de larommeraye, one of the Commissioners ap-
pointed to superintend the embarkation of4be late King,
having returned, took his seat.
" M. le Pelletier d'Aulnay demanded prieedence for the
report upon the project of the law relative to the publica-
tion of the electoral lists and the jury.
" The Committee only proposed one change—namely,
the addition of an article, in the following terms : --I In
virtue of the Constitutional Charter, the age fixed for ad-
mitt/don to the functions of a juror is 25 years.'
" The President said the Chamber ordered the printing
and publication of the report just read, and wished to
know for what day the discussion should be fixed.
" M. Salverte wished the discussion to be adjourned to
the day when the project of law respecting re-elections to
be made in consequence of vacancies was to be debated.
" M. le Pelletier d'Aulnay opposed the adjournment of
the discussion on the electoral lists.
" The question was put on the adjournment, and lost,
four members on the left voting in its favour;" and Sa-
turday was fixed for the debate.
" Several voices—, And the petitions?'
"M. Peton—The Committee only met to-day. No
report can be ready till next week.
" M. le Baron Louis, Minister of Finance, then rose,
Pic said it was usual to describe the state of the finances
of the last year, the votes necessary for the current year,
and to explain the budget for the succeeding year. The
circumstances in which the Ministers were placed pre-
vented them following the usual practice, but they would
frankly explain the state of the year 1828. The antici-
pated receipts had fallen below the actual receipts. The
registration and stamps had surpassed expectation; but
the sum derived from the tax on liquors was below what
was anticipated. The total of actual receipts was one
milliard 32 millions, while the expenditure had only
amounted to one milliard 24 millions ; so that there was
a surplus of eight millions to be carried to the service of
the year 1629. In 1829 the receipts amounted to about
one milliard and 30 millions, and the expenditure to one
milliard and 16 millions. He then stated that public
confidence having called the present Ministers to the head
of affairs, they considered it their duty to destroy as little
as possible, and therefore intended to preserve the present
mechanism, but nevertheless to apply to it all possible
modifications. He could 'nave wished to have been able
to open the budget for 1631, but he thought it ought to be
presented on an entirely new plan, and due time had been
wanted for the consideration of the subject. Besides, the
offices of Minister of War and Minister of the Interior
needed new organization, and until it was effected the ex-
pellees of those departments could not be known. Economy
was promised ; and he assured the Chamber that Ministers
would lose no time. They knew their duty, and would
discharge it.
" The President ordered the report to be printed and
published.
" M. Jars presented a report from the sixth bureau,
relative to the election of M. de Murat, against whose ad-
mission a protest bad been presented, declaring that the
secret of voting had been violated, and that the President
of the Electoral College of Hazebrouck had refused to
attend to the remonstrances which were made, or even to
mention them in the proses verbal. The bureau, after
hearing M. de Murat, who said he was absent, anti could
not be held responsible for the acts of the President, pro-
posed the admission of M. de Murat.—(Strong marks of
dissent on the left.)
" M. de Murat explained. The election of Hazebrouck,
he said was a bond fide one, and the Chamber ought not to
annul it for certain little irregularities. The number of
votes he had obtained, far above the majority (namely 191
above 213), ought to remove all doubt on that score.--
Besides, he owed that immense majority simply to the
refusal of the Ministry up to the last hour to admit him as
a candidate. lie therefore submitted himself to the wis-
dom anti justice of the Chamber.
" M. de Brigode said that however great the majority
might have been in favour of M. Murat, the election ought
to be annulled on account of the violation of the secret of
voting.
" M. Augustin Perier spoke in favour of the election.
" M. de Salverte said the only question to examine was,
whether the law had been observed. That culpable influ-
ence bad been employed towards the electors, the following
letter from the Sub-Prefect of Hazebrouck was a proof
' The King having made known his intentions relative to
the candidate M. de Murat, I confidently reckon on the
loyal anti legitimate use of your influence, in favour of an
election for the success of which hie Majesty has deigned to
express a personal wisk.'—(Violent murmurs on the left.)
—Such a circular having been sent round, he would vote
for the annulling of the election.
" M. Benjamin Constant supported the annulling of the
election, and observed that the presence of l 5 functionaries
et the election was in no wise favourable to M. Murat,
especially when all sorts of violence were employed towards
electors, who were not functionaries,
" The decisien of the bureau having been put to the
vote, the centre rose in its favour, the left against it. M.
de Murat wile not admitted ; he accordingly took up his
bat, and quitted the Ilall.
" The President informed the Chamber that the Baron
d'Eseayrac whaled to state his reasons sat taking the oath.
" M. d'Escayrac rose at the extremity of the right
centre ;—' Gentlemen,' he said, ' under present circum-
sianncs, and according to the well-understood interests of
the ceuntry, I Relieve I ought to adopt the line of duty
traced out to me by my colleagues. I completely adhere to
the sentiments expressed by de Martignac.'
" Oil the Left—' That is not taking the oath.'
" The President—Do you mean to take the oath with.
out any reservation to the charter of the unuith of August
and to wing Philip J.
" M. d'Eseayrao—l mean to make no reservation, ex-
cept that I adhere to the sentiments of M. de Martiguact
(Murmurs on the left.)—Without restriction or reserva-
tion I swear the ! that is right.) •
"M. Marche], reporter to the Committee charged to
examine the proposition relative to the oath, mounted the
tribune. lie stated that the Committee had met again,
anti had come to a resolution that military officers ought
to take the same oath as other functionaries, and should
not be compelled to take a different one. The oath, the
law project of whieh lied been proposed and presented to
this Chamber, embraced all that could be desired. It was
sufficient for the wants of the service, and fils the national
guarantees. He did not consider that tiny of the (lathe
formerly sworn by the military were suitable to the pre-
sent circumstances. In preserving, therefore, the form of
the oath proposed at the last sitting, the Committee had,
however, thought it right to apply the following modi-
fication to the rid Article t No other urticle shall be
exacted cif them but by virtue of law.! The Committee
considered beside~ that there might be some uncertainty
with respect to the functionaries who had already taken
the oath, and added to the end of Article ' Excepting
those who have already taken the oath to the present Go-
vernment.'
" Colonel PaidaUS ardently desired a new military
code, which he trusted would proceed from the talents and
patriotism of Mamba Gerard. At all events, he referred
to the Chamber with respect to the new form of oath pee-
cribeil by the Committee.
" General Bernier thought it would he impolitic and
dangerous to introduce modifications in the principle of
military obedience. lie consigned to the execration
tef
Frence and the nniverse, the Ministers who placed French
soldiers in the eitoution of defending therrestires against
fellow-citizens,
fieveral voices on the left--.' I'lley did not defend
themselves, they attacked.'
M. Bender—Our soldiers lament their being obliged
to do such duty ; but to repair a misfortune do not corn-
promise the future. How is discipline to be maintained if
you prescribe only an optional ebeffience ? how cart you
punish those of whom you give the right of deliberation i'
You will then have barrack orators, but no soldiers. He
proposed that the military oath, elmuld remain unaltered
except as to the words thee sing of the French,' ,
" General Semele supported the recommendation of the
Committee, and referred to the late events in proof of the
rffiecidef of passive obedience. The events had been long
in preparation. The Royal Girard bad been formed under
the direction of the Duke of Wellington.—(Murrnum )
What I say I can prove. Officers were selected for the
Guard whose opinions were hostile to the constitutional
system. These officers endeavoured to give the troops the
sort of spirit they wished. Nevertheless, the sentiments
of the greater part of the soldiers were honouruble. He
would have the oath proposed by the Committee taken for
the present, and would postpone the consideration of a final

in the
army, and thought that the oath of the military ought to
be different front that of other functionaries,
" The discussion on the general subject having
the article x came to fee considered, closed,
4, On the find article, declaring that all functionaries,
civil, military, and naval, should swear the. oath of fidelity
to the King of the French), obedience to the Constitus
timed Charter, and to the lewd of the kingdom,
" M. Missy d'Anelas proposed! an mead:nem, that tell

other forms of military oath be abolished, which was not
carried.
" After a few words, the article was unanimously
adopted.
" The second article, declaring that no addition or al-
teration should be made in the oath, except by virtue of
law, was adopted.
The 3d article, declaring that all functionaries, civil
and military, were to take the oath within fifteen days
after the promulgation of the present law, or be considered
as having resigned, was read and adopted, with the follow-
ing addition excepting those who have already taken
the oath to the present Government.'
" M. Bavoux proposed to make the oath applicable to
the Chamber of Deputies ; and M. de Marcay, that it
should be applicable to both Chambers.
" N. Viennet observed, that a law should be passed de-
claring that members who did not take the oath within a
given time should be held to have resigned.
" M. Berryer expressed his astonishment that it should

be intended to impose, with such a condition, an oath on
the Peers, which, perhaps, many could not take. Invested
with. a dignity transferable to their children, how could
►hey be held to have resigned for an act personal to them-
selves. For two centuries several Peers of England had
refused to take an oath, and yet had not lost their peerage.
" M. B. Constant said the Peers to whom the last
speaker alluded were Catholics. Ile di I not approve the
intolerance which excluded them from their seats, but the
fact showed that the English law had inflicted a punishment
for refusal to take an oath. In the state in which we are
delivered from a Government which was far from gentle,
which dyed our streets with blood, it is singular that so
much regret should be expressed for those who shot at and
ass►ssinated us.—(Marks of approbation from the left.)
--We wish a national dynasty, and we have it ; we wish
a national Government, and we have it : but we will
have still more in the institutions which are proposed.
"M. de Martignac opposed the proposition for making
the loss of Peerage follow the refraining from taking an oath.
"M. Dupin, the elder, supported the amendment. The
King had taken the oath required by the nation, and why
should those who had to make the laws be excused ?
di M. Guizot—ln order to agree on the subject, it is
necessary to divide the paragraph, and say that the Depu-
ties who will not take the oath shall be considered as re-
signed, and that the Peers shall not be allowed to sit. The
necessity of the oath is acknowledged; but the Peers are
in the same sisuation as the Deputies. I propose, then,
this amendment. Every. member who does not take the
oath shall be considered as resigned, and every Peer who
will not take the oath shall be deprived of his peerage,
which shall devolve to his successor._(Tumult. Several
voices—" That is prejudging the question of hereditary
Peerage.")—At present, the inheritance of the peerage is
one of the principles of its existence. A law will shortly
be presented to decide this question, and then you will
adopt what amendment you think proper.
" A Member proposed the addition of the following
words:—.' Without prejudice to the disposition of the law
to be proposed.'
" M. Girod (de l'Ain) demanded the suppression of the
words ' his successor,' which M. Guizot consented to.
" M. de Berbis thought the Chamber ought not at pre.
sent to occupy itself with so important a subject, and pro-
posed an adjournment.
M. Madier de Monjeau.—Publie opinion must no longer
be allowed to fluctuate. Recollect, that a Peer for two
years refused to take the oath to the charter. That Peer
has precipitated an august family from the high position in
which it stood. Let us avoid the example, and compel the
Peers to declare themselves immediately.—(To the vote,
to the vote.)
"M. Guizot proposed that three months' time be allowed
the Peers within which to take the oath. A Deputy could
be re-elected—it was not so with a Peer.
" M. Demarcay proposed that the allowed time 15 days
be increased to a months for both chambers.
" The President put the different paragraphs of the
amendment to the vote. The first, respecting the Depu-
ties, was unanimously adopted.
" The period of three months proposed by M. Guizot,
for the Peers, was put to the vote and rejected ; and M.
Demarcay's amendment, limiting the period to one month,
was adopted.

" Th.e question was then put on the article as amended,
which was adopted.
" The Chamber then proceeded to vote on the whole of
the law. Number of voters, 282. White balls, 209
black balls, 43.

" The President.—The order of the day is the discus-
sion on the communication made yesterday by the Com-
mittee for the Impeachment of the late Ministers The
discussion way fixed for to-morrow, in a public sitting, at
one o'clock."

" PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING, AUG. 19.
" General Baudrand is intrusted with a special mission
to the English Government ; Baron Athalin to the Rue-
elan Government; M. de St. Aulaire to the Austrian Go-
vernment; and General Belliard to the Prussian Govern-
ment.
" It was affirmed at Toulon on the 7th, that the tri-co-
loured flag was hoisted at Genoa.
" It is asserted that 22 Lieutenant-Generals, and above
100 Major-Generals, forming the cadre of 1880, and en-
tirely strangers to the army on the 28th of March, 1814,
are going to be struck off the list to make room for the
Generals of the old army, who are taken from their retreat.
Among others, the 100 who, though in the vigour of life,
were included in the ordinance of the 24 of December,
1824, and all those who have received their appointment
since that time.

" We are able to affirm a fact, which is no less certain►
than remarkable, namely—that from the 31st of July last
to the 17th of August, there has not been committed a
single murder, nor a single robbery at Paris. What a
people are the people of Paris ! And what can the agita-
tors hope, who attempt to mislead the heroic population ?
" Last Wednesday Marshal Jourdan took possession of
the government of the Hotel des Invalides, to which he was
appointed by an ordinance of the King of the 16th inst.
The conqueror of Fleurus was received with enthusiasm
by time brave men, some of whom were witnesses of h►s
f►rst exploits, and most of whom participated in the several
campaigns, which, under the conduct of the illustrious
General, hare immortalised the Drench armies. In the
midst of the general emotion, the new Governor addreised
his ancient companions in victory in the following speech,
which was listened to with respectful silence, and followed
by loud acclamations, which manifested the sympathy of
those venerable warriors with the chief who is appointed
to watch henceforth Over the prosperity of the establish-
merit in which the concluding years of their life will be
passed in a noble and glorious repose.
" must first return thanks to the King for having
conf►ded to nit the government of this hotel, in which the
remains of so many glorious armies are assen►bled. In
seeing myself surrounded with so great a number of brave
men who have shed their blood for the defence and glory
of their country, I feel the most lively emotion.
"1 And I, too, am an old servant to the country, and
I come among you as a father in the midst of his family.
" ' I shall maintain order and discipline in the hotel, at
the same time that I shall watch with paternal solicitude
that the wants of all the brava men who inhabit it may
be provided for. You will always find in the firmness,
justice, and kindness.'

" It is said that the Ministers who have been arrested
will soon be brought to Paris. It is to be supposed that
this will be effi!eted without difficulty. Every body wishes
that justice should be done, but in a legal manner. Very
curious facts are gathered from the conversations of the
prisoners.
4' Thus, one of Charles's Ministers is stated to have
said, that on Saturday evening he was still ignorant of
his resolutions, and that the king laid before him the
ordigitoces already suede out, and signed by three of his
colleagues. 'Now that things are come to this point
(said Charles), you see I do not ask your opinion or ad-
vice. I know that your opinion is contrary to this. But
I ask if you will abandon me in this way, in which I
cuter with you or without you,' Hire,' returned the
Minister, 'your Majesty asks fur my head,---I give it you.'
And he signed.
