TRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Moniteur of Wednesday, Sept. 21.)
PARIS, &re. 20.—Some groups attempted to collect
to-lay in the garden of the Pelais Royal. S.:veral persons
were arrested, among whom there are a good n'any foreig-
ners. The attempts to excite agitation were concentrated
at this point, where about half-past -one o'clock they as-
sumed a character in which there was nothing political.

This evening the garden has teen cleared. Tranquillity S
restored in all that platter. Not a single groop has ap-
peared to-day in the environs of the Chamber. The capital
has resumed its ordinary appearance,
The Revelation of this evening contains an entirely false
account of the scene which took place at the Palets Royal
on the evening of the 19th, and all the circumstances of
which have been greatly exaggerate-J.
Awaiting the moment when the manager of that journal
will have to explain himself before a court of justice, we
must formally contradict this narrative. Nothing was
done illegally the proper summonses were made. Mo-
deration was constantly united with firmness. The armed
force did its duty, and nothing but its duty. The magi-
strates always intervened.
The brig La Pkehe, Lieutenant Lapierre, sailed from
Tanlon on the 16th inst., to examine the new island which
has lately been found in the Mediterranean.
M. Constant Prevost, Professor of Geology, who was
selected by the Academy of Sciences, is on board this
vessel : and also M. Joinville, a young painter, whom he
has chosen to accompany him.

BayoNNE, SEPT. 23.—Twelve Frenchmen have just
arrived here, who were in the expedition of Mina and
Valdez, and being taken prisoners were conducted to St.
Sebastian. Those who were at Pampeluna must arrive
very soon, as they were set at liberty by an order of his
Catholic Majesty, slated August 30.

EXCHANGE OF PARIS, SEPT, the solemn dis-
cussion which took place yetteasby in the Chambers, the
attack was so weak, 85 ;;estitute of proofs,—the defence so
precise, so vide:loos that persons the most prejudiced
were forced to acknowledge that the Ministry bad done
every thing it could do, in the critical circumstances in
which it had been placed. This conviction, which was
still more profound on the public, consolidated the return
of confidence, which manifested itself yesterday, and our
funds experienced a further improvement.
(From the Journal des Debuts of Wednesday.)
PARIS, SEPT. 20.—1 t is affirmed that letters from Ber-
lin, of a later date than the late number of the Prussian
State Gazette, announce that the negotiations between
Field-Marshal Paskewitsch and the Polish army have
succeeded. The conditions on which the army has sub-
mitted are not known.

CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, SEPT. 21.
The Chamber was for some time occupied with a discussion
en the mode of proceeding with the law projects presented
by the Government relative to the municipal authorities.
The question was, w'nether the three projects should be
referred to one zommittee or to different bureaux. The
Chamber iltz;ided for the latter.

The Chamber then proceeded to the consideration of the
law on sanatory measures. This law grants to the Mi-
nister of Commerce and Public Works an extraordinary
credit of a million to meet the expense of the measures
which may be taken as sanatory regulations. The law
was adopted by 264 to 4.
The debate on foreign affairs was then resumed.
The President of the Councils—For two (ar, gentle-
men, a discussion has been going on, in the course of
which accusations have not been wanting, and you have
heard the replies to the charges. This discussion is only a
repetition of that on the address in which the minority
failed.—(Murmurs on the left.) Gentlemen, we do not
shrink either from a charge or an address. What can
possibly be the result of a debate which really has no ob-
ject, and of vague accusations, except public (Inquietude ?
(Cries of " Yes, yes," from the centres.) But what is ne-
cessary is to have a vote. The qttestion is not one of per-
sons or of power, but of system. It must be known that
the system is still the same which we explained on the
address. It is the maintenance of peace,—it is national
honour,—it is internal tranquillity,—it is security for the
revolution. We persist mere than ever in this system,
which we are proud of having maintained. But before
insisting farther on this point, it is important to fix your
attention on some part of the accusation brought forward
aasainst the Ministry. I allude to the imputation of M.
Mauguin (who Iregret to find is not present) on the subject
of the disorders of the capital. Need I explain myself
farther. He said that power bad participated in certain
commotions. This was not a mere loose assertion dropped,
extempore in debate. M. Mausein had advanced it, as
advocate in the defence of a journal. On being interrupted
by the President, M. Mauguin stated that he referred to
the police, and that he was ready to produce evidence for
his assertion at any time. This charge be again made in
the tribune. And at what moment? When the capital
was in a state of the greatest rgitation. What ! gentler's( n,
is it to be said that the Government instigated the riots ?
Were such a charge proved, under what a responsibility
should we not labour ! Shall it be said that we, whose
duty it is to maintain tranquillity, have unchained anarchy,
and been the promoters of the most frightful disorder
Gentlemen, explanation is important, for this charge exhi
bits the authorities as organizing civil war.—(A mem-
ber on the left, 'M. Mauguin is :Assent, wait for him,'—
other voices, No, no; go on.') I have already ex-
pressed my regret at not seeing M. Mauguin here, for it
is in the name of honour that we now call on him to
reply. Another accusation was made by M. Mauguin,
and supported by General Lautarque. We are reproached
for not having rendered the National Guards movealde.
Gentlemen, this charge is made at the moment when we
are endeavouring to bring about a general disarming—
when we are receiving the moot pacific assurances—when
fears ought to disappear before acts. Gentlemen, it has
been said that riots are a sign of some disease existist n
the country, and of want of skill in the Government.
Gentlemen, the nation is not to be found in mobs. You
must look for public opinion in the Electoral Colleges, and
nut in the streets.--(Well said—Good.) It is doubtless a
task easy to be accomplished, but a very unfortunate one
to engage in, to attack authority by exciting agitation.
Such a struggle certainly is an evil, and its source is the
present state of uncertainty. But the uncertainty of the
country is the consequence of that which exists in this
Chamber. It depends upon you to put an end to these
commotions. Here I repeat that idea which I have more
than once stated, that too rapid an advance often causes to
retrograde. The Hon. General Lafayette has well felt
the force of this maxim, for he has, in some measure, re-
trograded by ceasing to talk to us any longer of the pro-
gramme of the Hotel de Ville and republican institutions.
--(Murmurs. )
General Lafayette—l refer for my opinions on three
points to a letter which I have addressed to my consti-
tuents, and which some Members of the Chamber may
have read.
President of the Council—lf the Hon. General had
rightly beard me, le would have understood I did
not say he had abandoned his opinions, but that respecting
the opinion of the majority expressed in the address, he
had refrained from dwelling on the words " Programme"
and " Republican institutions."—(Murmur'.) It is the
interest of the country which makes the opposition sen-
sible of the necessity of retrograding. You have by a
majority of 270 to 73 testified your adoption of the sys-
tem of the Government.—(lnterruption.) Yes, gentle-
men, on the discussion of the address you declared your
opinion by a majority of 270 to 73, and it is pr-eiscly
because the Opposition renews its charges that we call
for a new vote.—(Agitation.) Is not the voting the ad-
dress a sort of contract? Is not the exposition of the
system of the Government to the Chamber, which by its
adoption of the address sanctions that system?—(Ap-
plause from the centres—disapprobation from the sides.)
Since then there has been no vote, no adoption of other
opinions. Do those expressed in the address impose on
us a different policy? Let the Chamber declare plainly
whether it associates itself with the Government or not.
As to the Ministers, they never will associate themselves
with those false opinions which are said to be the ex-
pression of those of the country. These opinions are
rejected by France. It is important then thas the Cham-
ber should express its opinion again in a way whims will
crush anarchy and give confidence to the country,—
(The centres—" Bravo, bravo.")
M. Mauguin, who had just entered the Chamber, rose
to speak.
The President—It is M. Eusebe Salverte's turn. Ile
is in possession of the Chamber.
M. E. Salverte--The Chamber must he astonished, and
France will be still more astonished, to learn that after two
days' discussion, an objection is brought forward, which if
just, should have been urged before
