CiIAMBER OF DEPUTIES.—Dec. 28.

Before the President took the chair, the Deputies were
all engaged in circles, in warm and animated conversation.
On taking die chair,

The Icesident read a letter from M. de Martignac,
apologizing for his non• attendance, on the ground of hating
been attacked with a serious complaint, which had alarmed
his family and friends, and which, though presenting no
absolute danger, was likely to be of lung duration.
The President afterwards announced that the proposi-
tion of M. Iloissy d'Anglan stood first upon► the order of
the day, but that seven out of the nine standing co►n-
tnittees bad pronounced against its being read. Several
members exclaimed--" It has been managed so on pur-
pose."
M. de Rambuteau rendered a high tribute of praise to
the National Guards of Paris and the Banlime, for the
ardour which they displayed during recent events, and
begged Ministers to give the Chamber some explanations
upon what had taken place ; these explanations were ne-
cessary for the security and tranquillity of the commercial
interest. If this proposition were premature, he (the Hon.
Deputy) would withdraw it, but he conceived that the
counsellors of the Crown could not object to give the ex-
planations asked for.

M. Lafitte rose and addressed the Chamber to the fol-
lowing effect :—" Gentlemen, Ministers have never re-
fused to give explanations upon their conduct, and parti-
cularly upon the course they pursued during recent events.
They have already given the explanations demanded, and
are now ready to explain every part of their conduct. I
will not trouble you with details relative to the entrance of
Ministers into office. I will not tell you how difficult the
task imposed on them appeared ; but this task once ac-
cepted, they did not recoil before difficulties ; they tact
them without discouragement, and feel that they have not
been wanting in the resolution necessary to overcome
them. Ministers have often been asked what was their
system. This question is put to them every day, and
more particularly at present, when a partial change in the
Cabinet has taken place. Our acts will prove what our
system is, and how we carry it into execution. Abroad,
Ministers had adopted the system of non-intervention.
The Holy Alliance had for its object to stifle, by corn-
bined
efforts, the liberty of the nations ; the new prin.
ciple of non-intervention has fur its aim to suffer the
germ of libel ty to expand wherever it springs up.
Liberty is good only where it is a natural fruit. With
the principle of non-intervention you will inspire the fo-
reign Powers with confidence, and guarantee your own
independence. This principle conciliates the dignity of
Frames with the security of Europe ; it was not an expe-
dient, but a well-founded truth. This principle has pre-
vailed in our policy. However, the declaration of it does
nothing, but its application may prove something. This
application has commenced, and it proved the principle is
not a vain theory. The five great Powers of Europe have
acknwledged and signed the independence of Belgium.—
(Cheers.) Thus the great question of Belgium, which,
it was apprehended, would lead to a war, is decided in its
material point. During the negociations, the Powers had
taken arms with a view to security rather than of aggres-
sion ; France considered it necessary to arm herslf in her
turn; the preparations fur war continue, and they will
not be suspended till foreign powers shall cease to arm
themselves. Thus France has been neither hostile nor
weak; she has resumed her rank and preponderance,
and every thing tends to prove that peace will be pre-
served. Her tranquillity at home will be an argument
that will influence the powers as much as our arma-
ments. The attitude of the National Guards under recent
circumstances will produce •as mach effect as a battle
gained upon the Rhine, or at the foot of the Alps. If
from considerations abroad we turn to home, you will
perceive that the conduct of the Government is likewise
explained by facts. At home, as abroad, the system of
the Government results from the nature of things. The

The Government knows that the National Guards be e
. rA.
done their duty with courage and prudence The Gove 'Y
'
ment lays claim to no merit upon this occasion but that
of
having
foreseen and a •
ppreciated the courage and pruchittt
of the National Guard, and of having relied upon it. It
perceived the danger, and announced that every one would
do his
duty;
and every one did his duty—the citizens and
their illustrious General. With a little less confidence the
'
Administration would have been either wed : or violent.
The Government told you that
probably there was a con-
spiracy ; it put this doubt in the place of a certainty, in
order that it might not excite surprise. As to the other
information upon the details of the events, a judicial in-
quiry
is in progress, and the delay which a conecientiotts
offences
requires must be granted. Moreover, the
committed in popular tumults do not present
themselves as conspiracies. These offences are frequently.
only the consequence of being misled. The real crime
remains with the perfidious instigators, who seek to tab*
advantage of the misdemeanours of weak-minded motto

justice. The Government is not willing to make cite.

enemies.i of July mixed themselves with the enemies

the conduct of the Government, and its manner of Dui*. '..,
taming
order during the perplexing circumstances we letve
just passed through. An incident to be regretted occurred
after the late agitation. It was said that the Cltan.:•:l
was attacking the Government in every direction, and '-'-.3 ,:*
the National Guards were losing Chiefandall h '':—
their
officers. The issue again proved the excellent spirit of '
every body. A proposition made in the Chamber mig
•ht
have been misinterpreted, and it was withdrawn; *hi
lt
in . ,
ark of confidence given to the Government proved the
wisdom of the Chamber. The illustrious Chief of the Na.
tion al Guards resigned his post, notwithstanding our persua-
sions
stuns ;he wished to imitate the noble example of Washing' ;
ton ; he did a little earlier that which he would have done
a little later. One of our colleagues, whose virtues had 4114
so much lustre upon the Administration, bad also the in.
tention of resigning his share in the Government; he 'e
would not do it on the eve of danger, but be did it the Jae
after. One of our brave officers is at the head of the
National Guards, and you know what men have entered ~
into the Ministry. Our system will not be altered, Ga.'
denten, by these changes. -We shall proceed in the rob.
of regeneration opened in July, and whenever the laws
may be threatened we will make them respected. The
ht :', .'
names of the men recently called into the Ministry oeg
to give confidence to the friends of liberty. An election
..
law, founded upon wide and solid bases, will show how we
undertand the institutions that should be given to France.
It has been asked why this law has not been presented to
the Chamber sooner ; the numerous laws that have been .e.
presented, and the labours of the Chamber are the
il
canoed
this delay. If the election law had been presented
you would not have been more in advance. The Governe ..,
ment has lost no time. However it may be, this law is about
to be presented to you: we think it will extend suffici-
ently the number of the electors, and satisfy the friends of
liberty and those of order. The opinion of the Govern. 1
ment is, that each ought to have complete action in public
affairs. In giving force to the royal power, forte must e,
also be given to the national power. At home and abread, e .
the system of the Government cannot appear doubtful to e.-:•
any one. Abroad, it requires that France should be lit.
toned to ; at home it requires liberty, but with laws. A : : )
mild repression has restored tranquillity in the schools. '-e. -,
We seek for Paris to be tranquil, and that it should not he
