CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES-AUGUST I.

The Chamber met at one o'clock, under the Presidency
of senior Member Count Duchatel, and, after the verifica-
tion of the powers of several Deputies, whose admission
had been adjourned at the last meeting, they proceeded to
ILe election of their President.
The number of voters present was 355 ; the majority
required 178. M. Girod de l'Ain, the Ministerial candi-
date, obtained 171 votes ; M. Lafitte, the Opposition can-
didate, 168 ; Berenger, 8; M. Dupont de l'Eure, 2 ;
M. O'Dillon Barrot, 1 ; 111. de Mosbourg, 1 ; and three
tickets were declared null. None of the candidates having
t.43tained the absolute majority, the Chamber proceeded to
Pagot between MM. Girod de l'Ain and Lafitte.
After this operation, which lasted upwards of an hour,
the President announced that there was an irregularity in
itue poll ; that there were only 358 voters present, and
that 359 votes were found in the urn. The President
then inquired should the ballot he annulled ?
The Chamber, on being consulted, decided that the
ballot should stand good in case the majority was more
than one vote.
The President then published the result of the elec-
tron, The number of voters was 358; and the majo-
ity requited, 180. M. Girod de l'Ain having obtained
181 suifragea; 111. Lafitte, 176; M. Dupont de l'Eure, 1 ;
Girod de l'Ain was proclaimed President of the
Chamber. _ _ _

Between the two polls M. Laurence, the Member for
Mont de Marsan, rose under feelings of evident indig-
nation to stigmatize the conduct of one of his colleagues,
who, in writing his vote, so scandalously, he said, disre-
garded the majesty of the scrutiny, as to add an injurious
appellation to the name of one of the candidates. He
called upon the Chamber to order the ticket of the Mem-
ber to be read, and to brand his act by a solemn disap-
probation. The Chamber, however, decided that the mat-
te,- should rest there ; but that if such a thing occurred
again, at the next ballot, a repot t should be made of it, and
that then they would adopt the course proposed by the
lion. Member. Several groups instantly farmed in the
ball, who seemed to discuss the matter with considerable
animation, and others repaired to the Hall of Conference.
Having inquired of one of the latter the nature of the
injurious appellation, he told us that a Member bad writ-
t-n on his ticket Jacques Faillite (bankrupt) for Jacques
Lujitte.

BOLOGNA, JULY 20.—Since the departure of the Aus-
tOan troops no disturbance has occurred in Bologna, in
consequence of the resolution taken by the citizens not to
give the least pretext for a new invasion. Various pro-
clamations have been circulated throughout the towns of
Romagna, to invite the inhabitants to oppose the entrance
of the Papal troops under the orders of Bentivoglio and
Bastaglini. We arefirtnly determined here to resist, by
all possible means, the horde of banditti which the Court
of Rome has sent to bring us back under the most odious
despotism. But those troops have not dared to pro-
ceed on their march, and it is probable they will not
attempt to sully our country by their odious presence.
We intend to oppose to the proprio rnotnu, and to the in-
junctions of the temporal good pleasure, a cold and per-
levering resistance. The movements which lately agitated
the legations have almost entirely subsided ; the resistance
must inevitably assume the character we wish to impart to
it, and
id which consists in refusing our concurrence to the
Pope's Government, as long as he does not minister to our
grievances, and denies us institutions in harmony with the
wishes ant wants of the people. We pay no longer any
taxes, and we consider Cardinfarloterthnetti's notilcations),
and every proclamation coming Pope,. as null. and
void. In fact, the legations are de fuceto, if not by right,
independent of the temporal power.
p. s. —A courier from Rome announced to us this •
n-
staPit that a revolution had taken place in teat cap ita ' and
that when he left it, on the evening of the 17th, all‘va
in the utmost confusion. Perhaps there is some xaggeras-
tion in this news. However, all the letters we have of late
received from Rome mention that a great excitement pre-
vailed in that city, and that it may soon be the theatre of
serious events.

PARIS.
There wag yesterday a grand dinner at the Court;
fifty-four persons sat down to table, among whom were
Messrs. Dupont de l'F.ure, 0130illon Barron Guixot, and

the Duke de Broglie. At the reeeptioa in the evening
every one was stt tick with the gracious manner the King
received M. Lafitte. His Majesty had with him repeated
and very long conversations.
M. Gustavus de Montebello, who has lately joined the
Polish ranks, had a horse killed under him at the late
affair of Minsk.

(From the Jeurnal du Commerce of Monday.)

General Belliard arrived last evening from Belgium.
Private letters received from Germany mention that the
Emperor of Russia's health is much impaired. It is not
feared that he will die of the cholera, to which lie was
not afraid to expose himself ; he is said to be labouring
under a slow fever, which is still increased by the en-
deavours he is making to overcome it.
The statue of Louis XVI. at Montpelier, was taken
down from its pedestal on the 24th ult.
(From the National of Monday.)
We have it in our power to state, upon undoubted au-
thority, that Lord Palmerston, the Minister for Foreign
Affairs, bad intimated to the Polish Envoy at London,
that the Cabinet of Berlin would only continue to preserve
a neutrality between Russia and Poland so long as the
former had any chance of suppressing the revolution ; but
that as soon as it was evident that the Russian army could
not take possession of Warsaw and put down the rebellion,
Prussia would interfere, in order to pat a stop to a war
by which her interests and those of her ally are compro-
mised.
The meeting this evening, at the Palais Royal, was both
brilliant and numerous. The reception given to M. Lafitte
by the King and Royal Family furnished grounds for ge-
neral observation.

(From Galignani's Messenger of Monday.)
Accounts from Frankfort on the Oder state that the
cholera has made its appearance in that town.—Journal
des Debats.

The Queen of Holland left Berlin on the 25th ult., on
her return to the Hague, taking with her, it is said, a
treaty of alliance, offensive and defensive, between Prussia
and Holland.— Constitutionnel. .

The Presburg Gazette, of the 1 9th ult., states that,' by
an Imperial Ordinance, communications between the Ger-
man States and Hungary are to be interrupted by a mili-
tary cordon along the frontiers, from the left bank of the
Danube, including Presburg. All travellers are sub-
jected to a quarantine of ten days. At Presburg no symp-
toms of the cholera had made their appearance.
By the provincial journals and private letters, we learn
that the fetes of July were celebrated in the departments
with no Ices enthusiasm than in Paris. The accounts
hitherto received concur in stating that perfect unanimity
prevailed among the citizens and the authorities, in the
celebration of the national festival. Every where the
National Guard was remarkable for its fine appearance and
patriotism. Collections were made in every place, and
money distributed to the poor.
The Temps says :-" It is stated that a frightful scene
lately took place at the Hague, between King William and
his two sons. The Prince of Orange broke his sword,
and throwing the pieces at the feet of his father, re-
proached him with having lost, by his obstinacy and Cal-
vinistic fanaticism, the finest portion of his kingdom.
The King retorted by pointing out the vices of his son,
which had alienated from him the hearts of the Belgians,
and reproached Prince Frederick with his attack upon
Brussel4. The presence of the Queen was necessary to
restore tranquillity in that family, from which peace is for
ever banished."
