CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES-SITTING OF MONDAT.
COMMENCEMENT OF THE DISCUSSION OF THE

ADDRESS.

M. Liadieres first occupied the tribune, and began by declar-
ing that it was not his intention to speak in the course of this
debate.—(This declaration caused great merriment, in despight
of which the orator continued.) He declared the Address to
be " respectfully violent, and academically revolutionary." He
thsn alluded to the speech of M. Guizot, two s ears back, to
the electors of Lizeux, so much at variance with his present
conduct and sentiments, and he lamented the versatility of
public men. During the first months of the present Ministry
the Liberal Oeposit ion applauded its conduct in dissolving the
Ch mbesi aced granting amr.e ty; yet it now joins M.
Guizot in condemning this Ministry, which was truly one
of regeneration. He would say a word on the Ad-
dress. It was revolutionary—and recalled the worst
days of the National Assembly. He upheld the Par-
l'amentary capacity of the present Ministers. Nor could the
conduct of their successors be one jot different when they
did reach office. And the reason was clear, being that the
Chamber did not wish the, existing policy to be changed.
The coalition would be able to fulfil not one of the promises
which it had male to the Left. The orator then made a
warm panegyric of the Ministry, whose greatest fault was
over-complaisance to its adversaries. It would retire covered
with the laurels of Vera Cruz and Constantine. He would
vote for the amendments to be proposed in the address.
M. Guizut then rose and said that for some time the word
coalition was in every mouth. This meant that there were
numbers of men in the Chamber who were convinced that the
present system of government boded ill to the country and to
the throne. Although such was his conviction, he had
still not varied from his old principles and ideas.
His present position was not new. It had occurred
before in the reign of Charles the Tenth, when thrown into
opposition he had come to act with parties not altogether pos
sessing the same opinions with him. Both parties, however
diffeiing, were now as then united in the necessity of defend-
ing and furthering the new interests of France, and the truth
of representative Government. These two parties were the
Conservative and the Reforming parties, formed after July
—one labouring to preserve what existed of monarchial
and govermental institutions ; the other devoted to the
defence of the public liberties. These parties were in.
telligible ; the combat between them was loyal, fair,
constitutional. But instead of conducting the Govern.
ment with either, a kind of bastardy party had sprung up
between them, supporting itself now on this side, now on
that, flattering and betraying both by turns. This he declared
to be anarchy—a system which destroyed the spirit of all Go-
vernment, which united all parties against it, and which had
been brought into the Chamber by the present Government.
The present Miaistry was incapable of accomplishing or
effecting any thing c,amplete or sound. His efforts before
1830 had been directed towards toweling legal modes of op-
position, and his efforts since 1830 to founding legal modes
of Government. He was no ultra. He had been accused of
being an enemy to liberty, as he was now accused of aiding
to demolish Government. He deserved neither. He was
without ambition, except that of making his ideas triumph.
It was the inaptness of the present Ministry that drove
them back into resistance and discontent, while those who
had been all along most attached to the King's Govern-
ment, had been driven into alienation and opposition. Thus
it bad given rise to that want of accord, of fixed parties, of
hat balance bete ma the great pawers, on which a Govern-
ment could find support. And hence it had found firmness
and fixedness nowhere, and in the most favourable circum-
stances it had not known how to gain a single advantage for
the country. The adoption of the dddress, as presented,
would prove the first step to a remedy. As such he would
vote for it.

M. Mole said the last speeches had stigmatised the Cabi-
net as funeste. The Chamber had heard how the justice of so
terrible a condemnation was proved. The Ministry was ac-
cused of falsif)ing the representative system of the country.
Ilc would ben. the Guirober to look back to the state of things
v. hen this Ministry was formed. It was on the 15th of April ;
and then, a 3 no x, Xll. Guizot called his Cabin• t funeste, because
it was about to give the amnesty, and pursue a policy of con-
ciliatiou.—( Left speaking.)

We have Vie following letter from Toulon of the 2nd of
J: _

We have just received recent news from the Levant.
Rear-Admiral Lalonde, who left Tunis on the 29th of
November, arrived on the 10,h of December in the Roads of
Smyrna with the Hercules (the Admiral's ship), and the San
Pare of the line, and the Favorite corvette. It appears cer-
tain that the squadron of the Levant is going to be augmented;
the Triton of the line, Captain Hamelin, is on the eve of its
departure for those seas; and it is said that other vessels will
shortly follow."
The Sentinel& Picarde says, " It has been reported that
Fit Inspector of the University will shortly arrive at Amiens,
to shut up St. Acheul and to visit St. Requier, to make an
investigation there."—Le Constitutionnel.
The Queen of the Belgians arrived at Paris this morning at
nine o'clock. It is s:tid to have been her Majesty's intention
to go to Pisa with the Prnm-s Clementine, but the late ac-
counts will doubtless cause her to change her resolution.
The Triton, Captain Hamelin, in which Rear-Admiral Gal-
lois, had hoisted his flag, was admitted to free pratique
at Toulon on the 2d. Admiral Gallois came on shore very
ill, and was conveyed to a country house in the neighbour-
hood. The Diademe of the line, and the Tarn and Egerie
transports, are going to take on board troops for Algiers, and
arc to bring back the 11th, 6th, and 13th regiments of the line.
