The Duke de Broglie then rose, end said he, by com-
mand Of the King, laid before them the state of France...•••
As regard; the army, the General Officers sent on ordinary
inspection had been recalled, and Lieutenant or Major-
Generala sent to proclaim the accession of the King.—
Thirty-nine regiments of infantry and 26 of cavalry had
received new Colonels. New Commandants had been
sent to 31 important places. A Commission of General
Officers had been appointed to examine the claims of of-
ficers to service. The measures for disbanding the Swiss
were in full operation. Three new regiments were being
organized. A municipal guard had been instituted on
'Change. In the navy few changes bad been made; but
certain abuses had been removed, three Rear-Admirals, 12
Captains of the line, five of frigates, fi►ur Lieutenants, and
one Ensign had been dismissed. A Commission was exa-
mining the claims of officers not employed by the old Go-
vernment. A new creation of Admirals of France had
ensured to many rewards proportionate to their services.
The illtunrious chief of the naval force in Africa hail rem).
vered, by elevation of rank, the just reward of his toils,—
In the Interior Department reform was most necessary.
Seventy-six Prefects out of 86, 196 Sub-Prefects out
of 277, 53 Secretaries-General out of 86, and 127 Coun-
cillors of Prefecture out of 315, had been changed. In
the Municipal Administration 898 changes had been al-
ready announced. In the Department of the Minister of
Justice 74 Procurtur-Generals, Advocates-General, and
substitutes, and 254 Procuieurs du Roi and sub•
stitutes, bad been renewed; 105 appointments of Resi-
dents, Councillors, and Judges would be made, and
would continue. The numbers of Council of State ha I
been reduced from 56 to 38, and of these 38, 20 had been
changed. Of the nine members of the Council of Public
Institution, five had been changed.
In the department for Foreign Affairs most of the Am-
bassadors and Ministers abroad had been recalled.
The situation of the Minister of Finance is noticed as
delicate, and the changes would proceed more slowly, to
avoid creating embarrassment. Reform had, however,
commenced, and would he followed up.
In the department of the Minister of War all the dif-
ferent services of the army bad been provided for. The
supplies for the army of Africa had been provided till the
Ist of November. The army of the National Guards had
been a powerful measure.

A Board of Admiralty was occupied with the organiza-
tion of the Colonies.
New works had been undertaken at Dunkirk and other
ports, and strict discipline prevailed.
All the Prefects were at their posts, and their anthority
was recognized every where. Agitations still existed in
certain points, but a strict survedlanre was formed.—
Another cause of alarm was the fear the revolution and its
results was not met by the clergy with sentiments in unison
with the country. The King's Government was not igno-
rant of the designs of some men—they were closely
watched. The line of separation between the civil sod
spiritual laws would be closely maintained.
The Budget would shortly be presented to the Cham-
ber. For the last six weeks the collection of indirect
taxes had been difficult—that on liquors was for a tTme
totally suspenoed. Thus, upon the estimate of the pro-
duct of the last month, there was a deficit of 2,000,000
francs. Government intended proposing a diminution of
the ditties on liquors. In preparing the Budget economy
would be carried to its utmost limits, in order to diminish,
as much as possible, the public burdens.
The Duke concluded his address in the following words:
" Every day Europe acknowledges and proclaims that it is
for all nations the pledge of serenity and peace. Peace
is the universal desire at home as well as abroad. Go-
vernment has firmly resolved to preserve the same charac-
ter, and pursue the same object."
The Order of the Day was the discussion of the Law
Project presented by Count Simeon for the application of
the Jury to offences by the Press, and political offences.
After some discussion the President read the articles,
which were sent back to the Committee, and the Chamber
then adjourned.
