• SITTiNO OF SATURDAY, FEB. 1.
[From the Etoile of Saturday..Evening.l
After some preliminary formalities had been gone through,
31M. de Corbiere, Peyronnet, and Villele, were introduced,
and took their places on the Ministerial bench.
The President read a letter from M. Manuel, in which that
• deputy informed the Chamber; that having been elected by two'
,Colleges of the department of La Vendee, he had determined
upon choosing in favour of the electoral College -of Sables
• d'Olonne."
M. de la Bouillerie presented, in the name of the Fourth
Butreau,,,' his report on the election of 31. Illeandre, deputy of
. the department of the Loire. A protest from many electors of
those Colleges had been addressed to the Chamber to point out
certain irregularities which, in the opinion of those electors, '
had found .their way into •the procds-verbal, and at the same
. time to complain of having been struck off the list of electors
by the Prefect. The Fourth Bureau reported that there had
been no irregularity in the proctis-vcrbal ; but it proposed to re-
fer to the Minister of the Interior the protest of the electors.
M. Foy- demanded .to speaks—" Gentlemen," said he, "
have been instructed by a great number of .Constitutional elec.
tors--{Murmurs on the right,)--of the arronliissement of the
Boanne, to present to the Chamber. their protest against the
nomination of 111. Mcandre. It is upon, this ground that I
• • shall proceed to add some observations to the report which has
just been made. If the Prefect of the department, deciding in
the Council of prefecture, conformably to the law of the 6th' of
February, and giving the motives of his decision, had struck
off some names, there would be a reason for complaint and ap-
peal on the part of those persons, and the Council of State
would be coiled upon to decide it; but this decisi6n would be
injurious to the appellants, becnuse in five years the Prefect
..might,again act as he thought proper." Here the orator enter-
ed unto the details of the .protest, .in which a Siour Laniblon
complained of having been erased from-the list of electors, be.
cause he did not pay the required amount of tuxes; and because
he belonged to another College. This arbitrary act,. continued
tne Hon. Illentlier, was not unknown to the I.ing's Govern-
ment,. They knew it, both from the protest added to the pro-
cos-verbal of the electoral College, and from the public
functionariett of the country. Well, then, after being thus ac-
quainted with it, .it might be supposed that.the Prefect would
be cilsoilie.,ed, or reprimanded. No .such thing,-:-he has been
rewarded—he has been promoted.; he.was the Prefect of a small
&paw:lca—they have transferred him to another much more
important ; and probably the publicity now given to this arhi.
trary act will a motive 'for elevating hilt still higher—(A.
Foy continued, and urged, that, but fur the irre-
gularity which was committed, M. Meandre would not pro.
uably hive been-elected. He founded this opinion upon the
numerical calculation of the namher of electors erased from the
list. ilowrv,r, 'addetl,M: Foy, Ido not oppose myself to the
atlmi,l,,i,m of ?.f. Ideandre. (1f what consequence t me can an
insulated case be, when there are no longer in France, any

111 .Foy.—" When there are no longer in France"—
On the left—" Yes, yes."
The President rang the belt. •

The Orator repeated the phrase three times. Each time the
cries of" Order !" were renewed.
M. de Oirardin.—" No; there are no longer any elections."
The uproar continued. • .
M. Dudon ascended the tribune.

Dudon, who still remained in the tribune, endeavoured
to raise his voice; but M. de Oirsrdin, who made hinn4elf eon-
hpieuousfrorn his gestures, continued to excitant, " You have
not got on your costume."' - •
Etienne.—" You cannot speak without (The tumult

The President rang his bell, and silence was restored a
Addressinehimself to M. Diitlon, he said, according
to the regulations of the Chamber, you cannot speak .without
btiing ei eortienza ; I cannot aecure you whearing.
M. Duticm quitted the tribune, and returned to place.
11. Benoist.—" I demand to he heard. As a member of the
commission directed to examine the election of N. Meandre, I
.intended to support the report, if the question has arisen

ed ; it is,a mil to order which has been urged l‘y a part of the
Chamber." (Murmurit on the left: " That not the ques-
tion," from many voices.)
The President.—" I would remind M. 13;:loist, that .the
call to order cannot be the present question ; a!•1 that what- the
Chamber has to discuss, is the validity of the ,dmission
3leandre."

The Orator then entered upon the question ; and he observed
that the phrase which had been. employed by the preceding
speaker was an insult to the Legislature and to Lei.;:islation,
because it assumed that the laws under which we live are
nd laWs.

-The men who have seized upon the supreme* authority in
' -Spain never matte to reply, to the Powers opposed to their usur=
pstion, that in 1012 those Powers recognized the Constitution
which is now pointed out as the origin
,of the disorder which

which is nutniftted throughout Al liurope.
Such tin objection ought to have no weight in a question

from it to 'society in general. However, if an impartial public

Change of a greett number ofindividuals, or by themode of ad "
mission, and'it Was then that this assembly, without any special
comeniseion, deeey. up and proclaimed a constitution which cite-
racterized, the.gataire of its political existence, and that e& other
assemblies, of the stone kind which werealestined to succeed ite
That act was proreed, declared, andproniulgated, without:
the participation or 'consent of the.lCing,• -who was then a pri-
soner at Valengay. ',lt was in efiect rather the organization of
assemblies andpowees during the absence' of the sovereign, than
the fundamental law of a monarchy, which, at that period,
so little remote from ss, extended over a great part of the habi-
table globe. • • •
Such was the state of things when Napoleon carried the- war
into Russia. The first effect of that aggression was to unite all
descriptions of resistance against the common enemy, without
calling to account the nature of the political powers which dis-
tinguished them. In this spirit the. Assembly and the Regency
resident at Cadiz sent a Minister to Russia. and proposed an
alliance; in accepting :that alliance, the Cabinet of Peters.:
burgh at the same time recognized the actual and immediate
mode of existence of the power with which it treated.
Such a recognition [arose out of the very nature of the case,
without adding any legality to the Spanish Constitution, and
still more withont_ guaranteeing it or rendering it better or
.more legitimate. Had it been otherwise, it would have been
necessary to refrain from treating at all; and from offering, or-
alternately -receiving, reciprocal succours, essential to the com-
mon safety.
Spain being afterwards delivered, as much by her own efforts as
by the success ofthe allied armies, the question of the legitimacy
and the utility of the. copstitution formed .at Cadiz .was -sub-
mitted to him who had in the first place the right to judge
that is to say, the King, -the sole legislator in Spain before the
!events and the innovations- to which we haveyeferred. This
invariable principle -of public -law in Spain triumphed even
amidst the convulsionsof the monarchy ; for the authority con:
tinued to be always exercised in the name of Ferdinand VII.;
no other was entitled to command obedience. -
His Catholic Majesty, on returning to his kingdom, per•
ceived that the conditions on which lie was to be. permitted to
reign, placed royalty in a state of :degrading servitude, fatal
to the real liberty of the people, and only.useful to the ambi-
tion of some men.
Impressed with his duty to the throne and to the people whom
Providence had committed to his care, the King refused to
submit to the bondage which it was attempted to unpotie -upan
him under the name of a con etitution. He resumed the rains
or the government , according to the forms and the ivies ob-
served by his predecessors.
:From thatenoment the constitution had no loner an exist-
ence for any one. Even those who proposed it, admitting that
the. King's acceptance was necessary. to render it legitimate; and
the Monarch having declared himself in et manner altogether
opposed to it, the act became merely a project, which had not
received its completion either in the opinioh -of the Spaniards,
or with still more reason, in that Of foreign governments.
During the space of six consecutive years. the nation never
testified a wish for the revival of the reign of the Cortes ; and
if sonic secret conspiracies were fabricated. they were con-
stantly the work • of revolutionists, without the people connect-
ing themselves in any manner with them, or performing any'
ostensible act to prove that they took part in the principles or.
conduct of those plots. At last, an army which the King-had
destined to defend the honour and ,the interests of the State in
the New World, seduced by the agents of' the same conspiracy,
abandoned the standards of fidelity to hoist those of revolt. In
delivering up to disorder the countreewhich geve them :birth,
and which had put arms in their hands, the Chiefs of that army
invoked the absurd and illegal Constitution which was destined
to be the source of so many misfortune ; and sought to justify
their defection .as soldiers, by the hypocritical affectation of
wishing tti eppear legisletors.
Without entering .into the history of this famOus rebellion;
every one knows that the King, forced in his palace, was obliged
under pain of life, to accept the act : which on just grounds he
had rejected. when he was at liberty.. •
The conseqtienees of this forced acceptance were—disaster in
the transmarine provinces, •which still maintained the struggle
in favour of the mother country ; discontent, agitation, LlM-
sione and finally civil war in the interior ; ruin, anni.
hilation of all authority, even of thatewhich the revolutionists
-.wished to establish for their :own profit: finally, the contagion
of bad principles -and bad examples extended so fir as to en,
dahgcr the security of other States, and. to realize the case in
winch it is mot only allowable, but a duty, to provide . for self
('defence by all necessary means, in order to obtain:so legitimate
an object. Such are the events and the causes which form the
motive for the steps taken liy.continental,Europe Against-the
oppressors. of Spain. To pretend that. the- Cvil which those
events and sautses have produced ought to he endured, because;
under circutristences in no way resembling those which have
occurred, all the criminality which might be Conunftted could
not be foreseen, is to ask Impunity for those oppressor* because :
their acts were not conjectured in sufficient time, and because
a more sinister augury ehoeld have been for Mid of their igno-
rance and presuiiiption.
There ,exists at the bottom of the human hart a sentiment
of justiceand.rectitude which the Sophisms ofadversity cannot
stifle.. Soldiers who abandon the standards under which they
ought to combat, who betray their oaths and sacrifice the great
interests of their country, seek in vain their justification in
demagogic orgies. 1t is uot in the bosom of revolt, and in the
oblivion of every duty, that justice and good laws can arise.
History is full of brilliapt proofs of this great treth, and of
it Spain now furnishes. the most terrible alai instructive example.

It is said that many English families, alarmed, doubtless. by
the certainty of the policy which their Government may follow
in the present circumstances, are preparing .to leave Paris to
return to their own country, or to pressed to die Netherlands.

[From Me Courier Franeaiol
PARTS, JAN. 3l.—Many conjectures have lately been made
concerning the cause and object of ;he journey of Prince Met-
ternieh to Munich. The following letter,,written by a person
filling an important situation, will give our readers accurate
information concerning this journey, as well as concerning, the
present Sta:e o 1 Bavaria.

• - " Mtinie4, Jan. 20. -
" Prinee•Metternich passed through Munich, .on his return
from the Congress-of Verona, and stopped there three days.—
Ilis presence in our capital caused a general 'uneasiness,
is not yet over ;• it was - known. bethre hand • that -.he. did not
conic .to add one jot to-the little liberty . we-enjoy ;we are not
acquainted in all their details with the communications ,which
this Diplomatist has had -with • our Ministers ; but we have at
length been able to learn the principal, and-we can now affirm
.with.certainty„that • after a long commentary on the Verona Cir-
cular, Prince Metternieh presorted a Note.to our Government,
on the subject of assembling at Vienna a near !German Congress,
in which changes under the name of moditications in the-German
Constitution, and particularly therumns tit' suppressing in Ger.
ninny all manifestation of .pdblic 'opinion, either by the pub-
lication of Parliamentary and jadicial debates, or by the ;nib.'
lication of newspapers and periodical .works will.be discussed.
It has also been .propased to abolish:all the •--Unireriities of Ger-
many,. and tosupply their places by instinftions similar to those
of Prance; The action also of a Corpsof observation, composed
of Austriatls and,BaVarians, on •the side of, Landau, in case,of
war betw74l'Pranet: and Spain, which appears inevitable, was
proposed. On;thiS- occasion also the project of.tertain territorial-
changes was brought on the. carpet, and Austria- has, it is said,
manifested a. desire to•aequire Passau. indemnifying Bavaria at
tl)e. expellee of Baden, or of some other .country.. .}fowever this
may be, it seems certain, that the Prince did not find our Mi-
nistry wholly favourable to his vieWs,• and all the Bavarians,
friends of order and tranquillity, hope from the wisdom and pa-
triotism of our Ministers, that they will. firinly persist in their
resolution of:maintaining• what already exists. . •

. _" But it may be asked, whatdoes that diplomacy definitively
mean, whicli for &Mit, years has regulated the afi:urs of r.,urope.
by. Congresses ? When will it cease to occupy itself periodically
with people, who only desire, to enjoy in repose the benefit of
their .mstitutiontt, Jn Bavaria -.we are tired ,tif. perpetual
cluingeitinited in the interior, devoted to one Ring and his
dynasty, we place all our hope in - the fundamental la* of the
kingdom, anti in the (good Nth of those Who-are charged with
carrying it it into execution. This Charter, the immortal :work
of our :august .11.1onareh,•is for us the pledge of 14pineas.and
repose. We have no factions, no spirit of party divides us—
+we only 'know froM hearsay of the existence of demagogues
and Mired ; and we have some reason' to expect that the pe,
licy of threign Cabinets will not trouble the,repose which we
enoov. Moreover, the Diplomatists cannot be ignorant that
our Princes—our great public bodies—our Nuctionaries—all our
ciiizens,'haVe selemnly sworn fidelity to
.the Charter. We are
constantly told that religion is the firmest support of thrones,
of social order-rand of this we are convincedr-but is the sane-
tity of oaths then to' be excepted ? And how does it happen
drat those
.wito desire-to combat the. revolutionary spirit act
precisely as if they fuilowed the same principles, since .they in.
cessantly proVoke changes and destruction of the most legiti-
mate institutions?

Among us the publicity of the debates of out Chambers,
the moderate liberty of the l'ress, troubles neither our, repose
nor public order: they compromise neither the dignity nor the
security of the Throne. The Emperyrs of Austria and Russia
may have convinced themselves of this in seeing our dignified
31onarch at his castle of 'regernsee without any. other guards
than the respect and love of his subjects. They slept there
themselves under the safeguard of German honesty: They have
seen that a Constitutional King, when faithful to his engage-
ments, is in the midst of his peoplelike an adored father in the
midst of his children. This is a truly paternal Government,
and not that which displays at every moment the employment
of force.

." The Liberty of the PresS is reduced in Bavaria to a reason-
able tolerance, which has exited from time immemorial- In
Austria they may.have forbidden the publication of the work of
our Agriculturist, M. Ilarzi, orr Manures; but such a literary
oppression could of be practised in 11:-.varia, without leading
to important constmAtiences ; it would make every, body discon-
tented, and producrj, as at the truce of Napoleon, a secret agi-
tation, and an etfeef quite contrary to that which they desire to
produce. It is the same With the Daily Papers ; the little
liberties which they enjoy, far from exciting trouble or inspiring
discontent against.the Government, ainnse the public, satisfy
curiosity; and calm the uneasiness which an unskilful policy
his so long nourished in Gm erany.—Shall the Bavarians, then,
be reduced- to the melancholy condition cf neither seeing nor
judging but with, the eYes,and mind of the Austrian Observer ?
The liberty of the ,Tribune offers even less inconveniences, and
cannot be digpleaSing, except to some blinded or corrupted•
courtiers, who have -collected abroad maxims et despotism,
which can never be successfully transplanted into the German
soil. Bcsid7l, the Gallery open to the public in. our second
. Chamber, scarcely contains 50 persons, and they now- speak of
