At one o'clock the Peers began to occupy the
benches assigned them on the right of the throne.
" The tribune of the diplomatic body was
almost entirely filled with ladies. We observed
only some Charges d'Affaires and a general
officer, who appeared to us to be an Englishman.
" The throne is the same as at the opening
of the session ; only the fleur.de-lys, which de-
corated the velvet curtain, had been removed.
Four large tri-coloured flags were displayed to
the right and left of the throne. Three red
velvet stools are placed before it. Lower down
to the right and left are the benches for the pro-
visional Ministers. The National Guard alone
is on duty at the Palace.
" Two seats covered with pink silk are placed
in the centre of the Assembly, on the last bench
generally occupied by the Ministers Secretaries
of State. They are for the Presidents of the
Chamber of Deputies and the Chamber of Peers.
The Peers are to the number of 90.
" At one o'clock the ushers invite the De.
puties to repair to the Hall of Conferences to
ballot for the great deputation which is to receive
the Prince Lieutenant. General of the Kingdom.
" The Provisional Commissioners for the
several departments of Justice, the Interior, Fo-
reign Affairs, War, Finance, Public Instruction,
enter the Hall.
" The tribune intended for the family of the
Prince Lieutenant-General was opened at a
quarter past two, and all eyes were turned to
that side. Her Royal Highness the Duchess
of Orleans entered first; Mademoiselle d'Orleane,
the Prince de Joinville, and the Duke de Mont-
pensier seated themselves on her right hand ;
Mademoiselles de Valois and Baujolais on her
Jell.

" The Princess appeared to be greatly moved.
She several times saluted the assembly. Her
dress and that of the young Princesses were
extremely plain, being merely white robes. The
little Princes were dressed in sky blue frock coats.
" The crown, the sceptre, the sword, and the
hand of justice were brought upon a rich cushion,
and placed upon a table to the right of the throne.
" Four Marshals of France—viz. the Dukes
of Treviso, Tarentem, and Reggio, and Count
Molitor, placed themselves standing behind the
throne.

At half-past two sounds of warlike music
were heard in the assembly, announcing the ar-
rival of the Prince. The most profound silence
ensued. The great deputation returned to the
Hall. M. Casimir Perier, President of the
Chamber of Deputies, and M. Pasquier, Presi-
dent of the Chamber of Peers, take the two seats
prepared for them.
4 4 The Duke of Orleans entered the Hall,
followed by his two sons, the Dukes de Chartres
and Nemours, and take their places some feet
before the throne.
" Cries, a thousand times repeated, of Vive
le Duo d'Orleans,' &c., were heard from all the
benches : the public in the galleries joined in these
acclamations. The Prince bowed several times,
and said, Gentlemen, be seated.' The Prince
himself sat down and put on his hat, and re.
quested the President to read to him the decla-
ration of the Chamber of Deputies.
" M. Casimii Perier, the President, read with
a firm and loud voice, and in the midst of the
most solemn silence, the declaration agreed upon
in the sitting of Saturday last in the Chamber of
Deputies. Ho then ascended the steps, bowed
to the Prince, who rose, received the declaration
from his hands, and said--
a Monsieur the President of the Chamber of
Peers, I request you to deliver to me the act of
adherence given by the Peers of France to the
declaration of the Chamber of Deputies.'
" Baron Pasquier delivers to the Prince, with
the same ceremonial, the acts of adherence of
the Chamber of Peers.
" The Prince Lieutenant-General then said
in a strong and sonorous voice, Gentlemen,
Peers, and Deputies,--I have read with great
attention the declaration of the Chamber of De-
puties, and the adherence of the Chamber of
Peers. I have weighed and meditated all the
expressions of them. I accept without restric-
tion or reserve all the clauses and engagements
which this declaration contains, and the title of
King of the French which it confers upon me.
I am ready to swear to the observance of them.'
a Scarcely were these words pronounced,
when cries of Vive le Roi," Vive Philippe I.'
resounded through the Hall. The King bowed,
and, raising his hand towards Heaven, pro-
nounced the following oath :--
"' In the presence of God I swear faithfully
to observe the Constitutional Charter, with the
changes and modifications expressed in the de-
claration of the Chamber of Deputies ; to govern
only by the laws and according to the laws; to
cause good and strict justice to be done to every
body according to his right ; and to act in a

,hinge solely with a view to promote the happi-
nese and the glory of the French people.'
" This oath, pronounced with an accent of
conviction, was received with new acclamations
of ' Vive le Rol; Vive Philippe 1' The
Chambers and the galleries were turned towards
the gallery of the Royal family, and cries of
Vive la Reines' Vive la Familia Royale'
rose from 'all parts of the Hall, and were repeated
by the immense crowd that surrounded the Palace.
4, The King immediately signed the declara-
tion, the act of adherence, and the oath.
Philip I. sat down on the throne, and de-
livered the following speech,
44 < Messrs. Peers and Deputies,
«' I have maturely reflected on the extent of
the duties which are imposed upon me. I have
the_consciousness of being able to fulfil them by
causing the compact of alliance which has been
proposed to me to be observed.
" I should have ardently desired never to fill
the throne to which the national will calls me ;
but 1 yield to this will, expressed to the Cham-
bers in the name of the French people, for the
mainteaance of the Charter and the laws.

te c The modifications which we have just
made in the Charter guarantee the security of the
future and the prosperity of France. Happy at
