and held a Council as usual. The health of Mon-

We are assured that his Majesty has appointed

CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.

SITTING OF THE 29TH OF JUNE.

The Sitting was opened at one o'clock.
M. DE SAUX.—In conformity to the Constitu-
tional Charter, I demand, with four of my col-
leagues, whose names shall be inserted in the
minutes, that the Chamber resolve itself into
Secret Committee, before passing to the order of
the day.
A number of voices,—" Why a Secret Cont
mittee ? Where are the five Members ? Let
them appear in the Tribune: .

• M. ritiMOLARD.--1 speak to order on this point
the names of the Members should be previously

given-in.
Great agitation reigned in the Hall—a number
of Members endeavoured to speak, but could not
get a hearing. Five or six then form at grGup:
aroun.l M. de Saux, as supporting his motion.
The President enforces silence, and announces,'
that as agreeably to the Constitutional Charter,
five Members had demanded a Secret Committc‘-,
the galleries must he cleared.
.The agitation continues. One Member de.
mantis permission to speak before passing to. the
order of the day. A number of voices demand
the order of the day. M. Dumolard insists on be-
ing heard.
The PEESIDENT.—The formation of a Secri•t.
Committee is demanded by five members ; t!x
constitutional charter requires the public sitting
to be closed ; but you will speak, it-you please, in
secret committee.

The Officers then cleared the galleries of a very
numerous audience, among whom we remarked'
several English Officers, and 'a number of La4ie.i.
The -Sitting. again became public at 2 o'clock.
M. LAUR mooted the tribune, and developed MI
motion relative to the ,fixing of the direct and in-
direct taxes, and the valuation of territoriiil'pro-
ducts, in each department respectively. The direct
taxes might, he said, be divided into the personal
tax, land-tax, tax on doors and windows, and tax.
on employments. He estimated the produce of the
personal tax in France, as it now is, at 23 mil-
lions ; that of the land-tax at 173 millions ; anul
that of the tax on doors or windows at 15 mil-
lions; =kin; a 'total of 216 ruillious. But wit

he, had to complain of was 'the fauftymocle o.
disrrinnting these taxes at prcs,:nt
litsitation in saying, that the sum which each
Department eras assessed to the general mass
.'was
arbitrarily fixed. -One Department, for instance,
paid only a tenth of its -produce, while another
was exhausted by the .paymunt of a fifth.. For
instmire, the Department A. was tax-ed in the
p1.:311'61200.n of a 10th 100 francs of net produce,
ttre.refore, paid 10 of tax. The Department B.
was taxed ¶n the proportion of a sth ; 100 francs
of net piloduce, the:it-CI-Ore, paid 20 of tax. An
additional half 'fiitorliaps, demanded : the De-
partment A. would tlien pay 15 per cent. which
left the proprietor 85 trancs ; the Department B.
would pn, 30 per cent. which left the proprietor
only ;70 franc's. Stich gross inequalities
which bad witnes.sed. ll'Utequalityof distribu-
t:ou was the firSt requisite in the public; burthetis.
lie therefore proceeded to suggest .a plan, for.ob-
taining an equitable estimate of. the moveable and
lae led property of the kingdom"; 'AA contended
'that this -estimate should he presitited Ten each de-
partment: respectively. ,fle also demanded thnt,
with h view to cases in which Government might
I,e compelled to resort to extraordinaey 'contri
butions; the taxes should, in no case, 'e'xceed
a 'fifth of ,the produce, experiees of e4llection
and additional centimes int-A:idol. Ile trnst-
ed, that as the late Usurper had left the Ei:in-
duan a prey to so many calamities from .
tva'r, • anti.. as every thing prescribed the
duties Of icforms and a severe economy, the King
idiew himself worthy of the task he had
tindo.taken. If Louis XVI: merited the title of
Father of Iris People, hy..4uppressing the imposts
which the wets of his predecessor created, what
benedictiottß would not the diminution of the
enormous imposts which-press upon France bring
doWn on the head of Louis-le-Desire? lie con-
eluded with moving for an humble address to his
:Majesty, praying that he would -cause to be 11,id
bet.oce them cations accounts relative to the re-
venue of the kingdom •in the years 1811, 1812,
nod 1813.

Ili)

M. LATCOP.DE demanded an adjournment of the
moi ion, as it Av is proper 'o wait till the i had
ordered the presentation of the Budget. Several
*Aces were heatd pro and con. hut the amend-
ment was adopted by a large majority.
M. PumoLAND then rose : the Constitutional
Charter, he said, had declared that the Legisla-
tive Power is exercised collectively .by the -King,
the 'Chamber of Peers, and that of Deputies.—
This arrangement is, indeed, the bulwark of our
liberties ; but though the 15th Article charac-
torises each branch of the Legislature, as a whole
they have no proper and national name. The in-
fluence of names is, however, by no means chi-
merical 5 it connects itself with -those ideas which
create and perpetuate institutions. We are nei-
ther those States Genet-id whose functions were
reduced to the presentation of condolences to the
Monarch, -nor those Revolutionary Assemblies
abandoned to every kind of disorder, nor that
Senate, the involoutary accomplice of the recent
tyranny, nor, in flue, that dumb and compressed
Legislative Body, deprived even of the right of.
compla int.

Let us find a name, therefore, that may express
the nature, quality, and limits of our powers,---a
name which may teach. the nation that the Peers
and the Deputies, in ail their relations, will act at
once as free men and faithful subjects. That 11 ante
is to be found in the very cradle of the monarchy,
under the two first races, what.) the Franks of all
classes 'were assembled in Parliament,

Here the Speaker traced in detail all the changes
which the institution of Parliaments underwent,
clown to the time when it became only a judicial
body,still exercising great powers,andwhich theße-
volut ion destroyed. He then proceeded as follows:
" But it is necessary now that the shadow and
fi'4ltre give place to the reality : henceforward the
Peers, whom their ancient :itles and their birth
recommend to the country, sit in the upper cham-
ber ; there also take their places, the men whom
their services, ant! the testimony of - the Mo.:
never, have called to this distinguished rank.
Here I recognize that mass of. Franks or Freemen
who deliberate and vote by their deputies. Such,
then, is the'true and only Parliament of France,
and no other can be acknowledged,
" Y seek in vain for reasons which should make
us reject a title national in its origin, clear and
precise in the idea which it expresses. Shall we
;ear to seem imitators of a rival nation, equally
proud of its liberty, and of its Parliament, which
_;4:arantees that liberty? What a pitiful pride is
that of rejecting words, when the voice of expe,
rience recals us to- the same ideas ? But what
do 1 say ? Are not liberal and generous institu-
tions, like the n'orks of great men, the com-
mon patrimony of the human race ? Thus
Newton and Montesquieu are no longer Eng-
lish or French, but belong to the world ! Yes,
let us henceforth, take as the object of our
.meditation and our studies, that Political
.or-
gaifization, pm chased doubtless with torrents of
blood, and so long imperfect, but which, since
1688, has formed at once the glory and prospe-
rity of a great people ! Too happy France, if in
those critical days when the seducing charms of a
liberty without bounds offered themselves to her
view, she had listened to the counsels of wisdom,
and received as a blessing -a Constitution on the
model of that of England ! Let us Frenchmen
forget reciprocal errors and wrongs.; we have al-
ready paid dear for them. Thanks be rendered to
that enlightened Prince, who has just united the
S(!esirable institutions of the monarchy with the
imprescriptible rights of nature and of reason."
He concluded with moving, that the King be
requested to present, in the Shape of a law, the
following -project :-
4, The combination'of the three branches of the Legislature
recognised in the 15tb article of the Constitutional Charte.6
forms essentially and exclusi,lv the Parliament of France.—
No other Body con either ascribe to itself or receive this title
tinder pain or f,,rfeiture."
Several Members support the Motion, others
call for the adjournment.

111. LABORDE.---I demand the adjournment for
four reasons (Murmurs). The matter is too im-
portant to have an initiative here, and would seem
'to require the first deliberation of the Chamber
of Peers. He was proceeding to other reasons,
evl en he was called to order, on the ground that
while moving the adjournment lie had no right to
dilcuis the motion itself. After some debate on

ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S OFFICE,
Head-quarters, Mowtreal, May 12, 181.1.

GENERAL ORDERS.

His Excellency the Governor in Chief and Com-
mander of the Forces, has the highest gratificiltion
in announcing to the troops, that he has received
a dispatch from Lieutenant-General Drummond,
reporting the result of a most spirited and suc.cesS-
fol attack on 'the enemy's Fort and Posithin at
Oswego, which was carried by assault at noon
on the 6th inst.

The Lieutenant-General reports, that having
caused six companies of the Regiment De Watte-
vine, and one • Company of the Glengary Light
Infantry, with a small detachment of Artillery, to
embark on board the squadron, in addition to the
2.1 Batt. of Royal Marines—he accompanied Sir
James Ye°, in the Prince Regent, and on the
evening of the sth inst. anchored off Oswego ;
but icviolent gale of wind driving the squadron
off shore, the position was not again recovered till
noon, on the following day, when the disposition
for landing was instantly carried into execution,
in the following order :—the frigates taking a po-
sition fr'nu , whence they could cannonade. the
Fort, and the brigs, schooners, and gun-boats,
in proportion to their respective draft of water,
covered' by their fire the several points -of de-
barkation of the troops,. which was attended
with considerable difficulty, owing to the shoal-
ness of water, the boats grounding, the troops
were, in many insances, obliged to leap out,
and wade through the water to their middles
to gain the landing ; and the enemy haring
strongly occupied the favourable positions near
the shore and woods, With which it is stirrounded,
the embarkation was attended with some loss, but
effected with the utmost prompritude under the di-
rection of Lieut.-Colonel Fischer, led byjhe new
formed flank companies of De ‘Vatteville's Regi-
ment, under Captain Bersy ; the remaining four
companies, and detachment of Royal Artillery,.
being held in reserve. The 2d Batt. of Marines,
under Lieutenant-Colonel Malcolm, supported by
a detachment of 200 seamen under Captain Mid-
caster, Royal. Navy, formed a second column to
the right. Captain McMillan's company-iof Glen-
gary Light Infantry, gained the skirts of the wood
to the left, avid covered the advance of the co-
bunns to the Fort ; which was gained and carried
in ten minutes from the Advance of the troops,
after landing. The enemy's garrison consisting
of Macomb's 3d regiment of Artillery, 400 strong,
and a numerous body of Militia, saving themselves
by a precipitate flight. ,
Lieutenant-General Drummond speaks in the
strongest terms of the cordial, judicious, and able
co-operation of Commodore Sir James Yeo, and
the Officers and seamen of his squadron, and la-
ments the temporary loss the service has sustained
in Captain Mulcaster of the Royal Navy, Who is
severely wounded. The eminent services of that
Officer, and of Captains O'Conor, Popham, and
Collier, are particularly noticed.
The Lieut.-General bestows the highest; praise
on the cool and judicious conduct' of Lieutenant-
Colonel Fisher, of De Watteville's, and Lieut.-
Colonel Malcolm, of the Royal Marines, .on the
intrepid gallantry displayed by. Captain Berzy,
who led the Flank Companies of De Watteville's ;
and by Captain Me.Millan, in the judicious' exe-
cution of the duties assigned to his Light Corn-
'pany, in covering -the advance ; to Lieut.-Colonel
Pearson, Inspecting Field-Officer, • and Major
Smelt, 103 d Regiment, who being passengers in

terms, the zealous and able assistance he has ex-
pered, on 'this and every former occasion, f'r'ont
the Deputy-Adjutant General, Lieut.-CoMiel
Harvey; and also froth his Aide-de-Canip, Capt.
latvoise.

•
It is particularly gratifying to his ExcellencV to
have to notice, that to the hitzii hon6tn of both
lirinches of the service, that there' was nor a
single soldier or sailor missiug, uor a single in-
stance of intoxication, although surrounded with
temptation. . _ _

The service has lost a brave and meritorious
Officer in Capt. HottaWay of the Itclal Marines.
Every object of the expedition being acconi-
plished—the Barracks burnt, and the tort dis-
mantled, and all public stores which were not
brought away, destroyed, the troops re-embarked
at four, the following inoining, and the squadron
sailed for Kingston.
The enemy's losS amount to at least 100 killed,
and GO prisoners, the greater part wounded.

MO7siTE EA T., MAYI 14.-Owing to the severity of
Captain.Mulcaster's wound, th4' public will long
be deprived of his services, 'hitt we are ha:,,py to
',understand that there are fair hopes. of his ulti-
mate recovery. The di,molition of Fort Oswego,
the destruction of the barracks and • river eraft,
will have a eimSiderabls, effect on the operations
of the enemy dining this campaign. The harbour
and fort is in almost every respect more useful to
the :enemy than Sackett's Harbour; the excel-
lence of the latter consists only in its beitag a bet-
ter naval station, but most of the naval supplies
come by way of Oswego. All the heavy cannon
and bulky
,materials front Albany are first brought
there, owing to the cheapness of watte carriage.
—The Mohawk river is navigable for batteaux
as high as the town of Route ; for thence there
is a short portage, which leads to a stream that
falls into Odeida Lake ; after that, there -is no
interruption till you arrive at the Falls, a
little above Oswego. It is by this river that most
of. the commodities raised in the western parts of
New York Si;rfe, ire brought into -Lake On
tario. Genessee River is also navigable, but it
embraces a comparatively small tract of country.
No commodities can be brought to Sackett's Har-
bour by .any other water route ; if they are car-
ried by land from Mohawk river, the distance is
more than 100 Miles through a wilderness, at some
seasons impassable. It consequently is evident
that it would be highly imprudent to let Oswego
rise again into strength while the' war continues.
Perhaps a •more judicious .expedition could- not
have been undertaken against the enemy at any
other point of his defences ; it' may probably be
the precursor of another more splendid, which a
short time will develope.—(Herald)'
On Wednesday evening, Captain -Jarvoise
rived in town from Kingston, with the Garrison
Flag of Oswego. On Thursday, it was elegantly
displayed at the porch Of the Government House,
and -at half-past two, a Royal salute was fired from
the citadel in honour of the brilliant expedition
against Oswego.'
The last accounts from Kingston state, that
Commodore Sir J. Yeo had again sailed.
TOE OSWEGO FLAG.---There is always some-
thing ludicrous in the American Character, which
is constantly developed, in all their enterprises.
At Osn'ego they had to act entirely on the de-
fensive, and in case of being defeated, it would
have been an easy matter to .have saved the Gar-
rison Flag. But the Commandant like " Captain
Bohadil,".thought of nothing else than destroying
the whole British armament—and to give-a sam
ple of his determination, nailed his, Flag to the
staff, which he afterwards shamefully abandoned.
MAY. 17.—Arrived yesterday evening in this.
city, front Kingston, 30 of the American prisoners
taken at the brilliant assault of Fort Oswego.

BALTIMORE, APRIL 27. Brigadier-General
Winder, • lately a prisoner of war at Quebec, has
been exchanged—he arrived here this; morning.
From him we learn that an exchange has been
effected of the greater proportion of Officers and
privates who were prisonetS,only a few of the hos-
tages retained in Canada. He has no official dis-
patches relating to an armistice, as has been re-
ported : he understood that the British Com-
mander was disposed to make one, if our Govern-
ment were so inclined, but that his powers ex-
tended no farther than a cessation of hostilities
on land.
