" A physician, of Avallon, called for the suppression of
the tax on salt, which weighed heavier on the rich than
on the poor." The Reporter, concurring in the views of
the petitioner, proposed to refer it to the Cotrisuittee of the
Budget, which was carried.
" An inhabitant of Gers requested of the Chamber to
enact a law forbidding processions and other religious ce-
remonies taking place wit of the churches ; reducing by
oneehalf the salaries of Bishops and Archbishops, and in-
creasing by one-eighth there of Parish Priests and Cu-
rates." The Reporter proposed to pass to the Order of
the Day on that petition, which was agreed to.
" A soldier of the 17th Regiment cf Infantry stated
that he had taken part in the Revolution of July, had
been wounded in the arm, and obliged, through misery,
to enlist in his 7egiment. He begged of the Chamber to
interfere with the Government to obtain for him promo-
tion in the army, or the decoration of My." The Cham-
ber passed to the Order of the Day on the petition.
" A physician at Ivetot called for the re-establishment
of "Napoleon's Order of the Re-union." This petition was
also negatived by the-Order of the Day.
" Upwards of 2,000 combatants of July, widows and
orphans, complained that their rights had been disregarded
41y the Commission of National Reeompences, and ex-
pressed a desire that they should undergo a revision." The
Reporter having proposed to refer the petition to the Mi-
nister of the Interior, it was unanimously agreed to.
M. De Berigny succeeded M. Fournier, and read several
other uninteresting petitions.
"M. le Chevalier Giove, ex-Podestate of Fort Opus, •
claimed the reimbursement of a sum of 91,000 francs, for
provisions fat niebed by him to the French army of Dal-
matia."
M. De Berigny having invoked the order of the day on
the petition, M. Dugas Montbel rose, and said that this
was a question that interested the national honour ; that
M. Giove had made immense sacrifices to save French
soldiers from starving that Marshal Clausel, Generals
Larnarque, Tirlet, and all the French officers who had
served in Dalmatia, could vouch for the disinterestedness
of M. Giove ) that Napoleon had granted him a pension
of 300 francs per month, which was not paid him since
ISIS ; and that his claim, in a word, was a sacred one,
and should be attended to. M. Dugas Montbel conse-
quently proposed to recommend it to the Council of Mi-
nisters, which was carried.
Another Reporter read the petition of a Captain of En-
gineers, M. Monier, sentenced to death in 1815, for poli-
tical offences, who claimed an indemnity for his fifteen
years' captivity. The Reporter having proposed to refer
the petition to the Minister of War,
M. de Laudre rose, and said that it should likewise be
referred to the President of the Council. "We must
know," said he, " whether the Government wishes or
not to give complete satisfaction to the patriots for their
sufferings under the restoration. They were not guilty of
high treason, as a Member of the Chamber had asserted ;
those who constantly conspired against a Government,
imposed upon France by foreigners, they accomplished an
act of virtue and patriotism. It is
,time that the French
Carbonaros, the companions of Berton, Caffe, Buries, and
other illustrious victims of the Bourbons, should be done
justice to. "If the Ministers," continued M. de Lauder,
" were present at their breach, the Carbonaros, on whose
head the sword of despotism has been continually impend-
ing for the last fifteen years, would meet, at least, with one
defender—M. Barthe, Minister of Justice, for a long time
a Member of the Society."—(Bravos from both extremi-
ties, murmurs in the Centre.)
M. Charles Dupin protested against the sentiments de-
livered by the orator. For hie part, in talting the oath of
allegiance to the Bourbons, with all France, he never
thought of becoming a perjurer. He opposed the reference
of the petition of a conspirator to the President of the
Council ; which was nevertheless carried, in spite of the
opposition of the Deputies of the Centres.

PARIS, DEC. 2, 1831.
The immediate and unconditional submission of the re-
volted workmen, without something like a struggle, is not
expected by these best acquainted with the manner.?, ha-
bits, and dispositions of that portion (the majority) of the
Lyonese. It is very true that the resistance of the inha-
bitants of Lyons when in revolt against the National Con-
vention was (although protracted), neither vigorous nor
well conducted ; but the fusillades that ensued, under the
direction of the monster Collot d'Herbois, ate rife in the
recollection of the elder citizens of Lyons, and are forcibly
dwelt upon now by the better informed of the disaffected,
who predict that similar massacres would follow a surren-
der of the town to Marshal Soult. This may operate un-
favourably on many of those deeply compromised. It is
not, however, the mere dread of punishment that will
prevent the immediate submission of the revolters (or re-
bels)—for although the French journalists cautiously avoid
the use of that word, it is the only one by which they
can be properly described. Their revolt was the result of
a series of combinations with other views than a mere
row, submission, and amnesty. It burst forth with vio-
lence, was conducted with desperation, yet with system,
and it succeeded beyond the most sanguine expectations o
the revolters themselves. In the hour of victory some
disorders took place—the actors in which were for the
most part forcats (liberated convicts)—but " order"—
that is to say, a species of order, was soon restored by the
leaders of the revolt, a fact, which has, I know, caused

have done. The men at the head of the revolt belong,
Jl
believe, exclusively to the working classes. They are mat-
trass-makers, butchers, silk-weavers, hatters, &c. The
mass of the revolters is composed necessarily of persons
engaged in the silk manufactures, but all the other
" trades" are united to them, the whole forming a body,
with extensive ramifications, extending, I am assured, to
Great Britain.
Hitherto, the revolt has assumed no political character,
but its susceptibility of that quality is such as to occasion
very serious uneasiness. No mall of note, name, or sta-
tion, or of strongly-pronounced politics, has yet openly
avowed himself their friend, but there are not wanting in-
cidents to prove that the Lyonese are not well affected to
the existing Government, and that the Bonapartist is the
predominant party in Lyons, as it is throughout France.
I am induced to believe that the arrest of General Dimas
last week was a wise and providential step, and that a
similar measure directed against other individuals not be-
longing to the working classes, was expedient, and had,
indeed, become necessary. General llamas, you will re-
collect, was originally a Royalist emigrant. Taking ad-
vantage of the amnesty granted by Napoleon shortly after
his attainment of power, M. Dams, returned to France,
and entered the military service, in which he distin-
guished himself for courage and intelligence, but above
all for devotion to the Emperor. When the allied armies
were advancing on Lyons, in the beginning of the year
1814, he raised a corps of partisans (which were at
that time denominated French Cossacks), with whom he
fought bravely, and rendered considerable services to
the army in that neighbourhood, commanded by
Mar-
shal Augereau. On the restoration he ceased to be
employed ; but on the return of Napoleon from Elba,
in the year 1815, he raised another corps of irregu-
more placed on half-pay, and continued to be unemployed

during the second restoration ; that is, from July, 1815,
to the 27th of July, 1830, when he, with General Du-
bourg, was among the first to take arms in Paris, and, like
him, received in consequence the decoration of July. Like
General Dubourg also, he has been frequently since an
object of suspicion in the eyes of Government from his de-
clared republican or Bonapartean principles. You will
recollect further, that be projected, and had nearly com-
pleted, the formation of a corps of 14,000 men to assist in
the intended invasion of Spain by the Constitutionalists,
but which he was compelled to abandon by order of the
Government. The poor fellows he had thus regimented
