FRENCH PAPER..

TNI'PERTAL SITTING OF THE TWO CHAMBERS.

PAttis,JunEB.—Yesterday,at three o'clock,
Members of the Chamber of RepPesentatives and
or the Council of State were introduced into the
Mall of the Representatives, and took the places
assigned to them. on the right and lent of the
throne. The representatives occupied all the rest
of the interior of-the Hall.: The galleries; usually
public, were filled by about 00. Persons. A large
gallery was reserved for their Imperial Highnesses
Madame Mother, the Princess Hortense, and the
Ladies of their COtirt. The seat Of the. Princess
Eoseph remained vacatit. -

At loaf-past four the Eriveror, preceded by ti e
'Herald at Arms, Pages, Minister-Si Marshals; and
the two. Princes -his brothers, enterer! amidst Una-
nimous acclamations. All the
_spectators rose
spontaneously. His Majesty took his place tipCin
his throne, having 'on liis right Prince Joseph,
and on his left Prince Lucien. Cardinal Fescb
was seated upon a folding chair. His Highness
the Arch ChancellOr presented tU the Emperor the
Members of the two Chambers, to take the oath
between his hands.

•
•M. Cauchy, Secretary of the Chamber of Peers,
advanced to the middle of the bar, and proceeded
to call over the name's of the Peers, beginning
with the Princes, and following in alphabetical
order. After calling the first Peer,, the Seeretat+
pronounced the formula of the oath, viz. " I
swear obedience to the COnstitution of the Em-
pire and fidelity to the Emperor." The Peer
named standing up in his place, and with his hand
raised; said, " I swear it," and sal- do‘rn. All

the other Peers were sworn successively in the

same nianner.

This ceremony being ended, the Emperor took
off his bat; saluted the assetnbly, and then cover-
itte himself again, delivered the following speech:

" Messieurs of the Chamber or Peers, and. Messieurs of
the Chamber of Representative?,

" For three months past circumstances and the
confitlemce of the people •invested me with unli-
mited power. At tins -
wish of my heart is accomplished. I have just,
commenced the Constitutional Monarchy.
" Men are too feeble to secure the future; in-
stitutions alone fix the destinies of nations. Mo-

narchy is necessary to France, to guarantee the
liberty, the independence, and the rights of the

people.

" Our constitutions are scattered ; one of our
most important occupations will be to consolidate
them into one body, and co-ordinately to arrange
them in one s►mple system. This labour will re_
commend the present epoch to future geuierations
I am anxious to see France enjoy all possible

liberty ; I say possible, because anarchy still leads
to absolute government.
" A formidable coalition of Kings assails our
independence ; their armies arrive on our fron-
tiers.

" The Melpomene frigate has been attacked and
taken in the Mediterranean, after a sanguinary ac-
tion with an English vessel of 74 guns. Blood
has been shed during peace.
OUr enemies rely upon our internal divisions.
They excite and foment civil War. Risings have
takep place ; , communications are held with Ghent;
as with Coblentz in 1792. Legislative measures
are indispensable. I place nnreserved confidence
in yiur patriotism, your intelligence, and your
attachment to my person.

The liberty of the press is inherent in the
existing constitution ; no ch untie can be Made in
that respect without altering the whole ot our
political system ; but repressive laws are neces-
sary; more especially in the actual state of "the
nation. I recommend this important subject to
your meditations.

Ministers will acquaint you with the
situation of our affairs.

" The finances would be in a satisfactory state
but for the increased exPenditure).rendered re-.
quisite by existing circumstances.
Nelertheless, all might be met, if the re-
ceipts comprised in the Budget could all be ma:
lized the year ; my Minister will direct
your attention to the means of arriving at this
result.

It is possible that the first duty of the Prince
may soon call we, at the head-of the children of

Sevres appears at the present moment to enjoy a
comparative degree of tranquillity but, accord-

libn. The Royalists are in force at MOntaign.
They occupy St. Ili'ulgent, and a considerable part

of the road from Napoleon to Nantes.
" Lettets of a' still later date from Napoleon;
mention a debarkation of troop;, supposed to be
Portuguese, near the Sables d'Olonne, which
said to have taken place between the Ist and 4th
of June, when arms and ammunition were like-
'vise landed ; and in, consequence whereof, nearly
all the rebel's have moved in the same direction..

We hope that this junction will not be ef.
fected, as General Travot is in
,that district with
force of 4or 5000 men. A strong detadunent
of gens &Armes arrived at Parthenay so early as
Thursday last; and at the very time of the fair
being held at Nigrt, the gens d'armes passed
through Niort post-chaisei.'
• " The vigorous measures taken give us room
to hope that this war in the new VetWie will
speedily ,be terminated.'
The Commission of High POlice in the 16th

measures' for punishing the elisatfeettA, and pre-

INIPORTANT INTELLIGENCE FROM LA VENDEE-

LATEST NEWS FROM THAT QUARTER.

"At nine o'clock, yesterday evening, the-Nimble
cutter, Lieutenant THUMP-SUN, arrived witli.tw.o
French Officers, Lieutenant de GdURBILL6N," be-
-longing to the Staff of the Marquis de Is ROCRe
JACQUELIN, General in Chi'ef of the Royal Army
in La Vend4e, and Captain 'WALLER. The former
Gentleman is the bearer of dispatches of ithport-
.ance ; the latter-is Won-tutted, and came to' Eng.
land for medical assistance. After communicating
with the Port AdMiral, his Majesty's ships-Phea-.
sant, Surprise„ &c. proceeded to sea with the ut-
most dispatch. These Officers left St. Gilles- on
Sunday evening, and give a pleasin;► aecOunt of
the progress of the Royal Cause in La Vend6e.
On the 28th tilt. an action took place, in Which,
BUONAPAIZTE'S General (TaAvoT), with 3,000
men, were routed with great loss ; and on the
Ist and 3d inst. the enemy were also repulsed in
their endeavours to prevent the landing of can-
non, arms, and ammunition, sent from this
Country.

A, letter had been intercepted from the Mi-
nister of IST?Ir at Park', in reply to one from Ge-
neral Travot, demanding powerful reinforcements.
In this letter the Minister informs hint' of his ina-
bility to comply with his request ; and hoped he
would make every effort with the troops he pos-
sessed, not having a man to spare.
" These Officers speak with 6nnfifience of the
success of the Bourbon Cause, which has 65,000
armed supporter's in LaVend6e alone ; and that the
White Flag was flying at Boardeanx, and many
°thee towns on the French Coast."—(Plymouth,

GUADALOUPE AND MA TITTNTQUE -DECLARED FO

nroN IPARTE.

Extract of a leiter from Antigua, received by
the Fox packet; dated May 3 :--" Information re-
ceived here from Guada!oupe and Martinique,
state that the French troops had, appeared on the
parade with the tri-coloured 'cockade, and de-
dared for BUONAPARTE. The Govern-or had so-
licited the assistance of Sir J. LE/TH."

There can be no doubt but that long before the
re-appearance of the. Hero of Elba on the Con-
tinental Stage, the troops in these Islands were,
like their companions in France, tampered with
and prepared-for this declaiation. As Admiral
Ltbroxs however (the Governor of Martinique)
has so promptly resorted to *lie prudent and 10-y,il
'meaitire q.f calling in the assistance of the British
against these rebel Soldiers, and as they do not
(we are informed) exceed the nurnbe;of 700 men
in both islands, there ,can, we trust, be little fear
of their being speedily reduced, and these import_
ant Colonies held for Louis XVIII. the King to.
Nvhom they were ceded.

The two French vessels, sent, in the beginning
of last week to Plymouth by the'Rhin. frigate,
have been released by order of Government, and
sailed on Friday last for 13rest.

The Melponzone, taken in the Bay of Naples, is
under different circumstances 'from any of the
other raptures, as, we understand,. it was in the
act of violating a blockade enforced by the pre-
sence of a sufficient Naval Armament.

The most interesting contents of Paris Journals
of the Bth are translated into our preceding
columns. Their chief featurp is the Speech of the
Rebel Leader, BUONAPARTE, 011 opening the
Session of his mushroom Peers, and (as far as
possible) packed Representatives; or, as the Morn-
ing Chronicle expresses it more royally, in other
words, " the opening of the Legislative Session
by the Emperor in person, with the Speech Which
his Majesty made on the occasion from the Throne."
As for the Speech it sets out with a Palpable false-
hood, and upon that basis iworesses principles as the
result of choice; which are only the result of neces-
sity. he Usurper asserts, that circumstances,
and the confidence of the people, had three moaths
•

ago Invested-him with " unlimited azahority"-L-an
assertion which every man who heard him must
have known to be utterly destitute of truth. As
it is, however) the only boast of power which he
makes, We might suffer to pass, were it not
that he builds ul►on it a merit which is .not his
due, for yielding this...authority back t,o''the Na-
tion, moulded into the form of a Constitu-
tiOnal Monarchy. •It is not to this •.changeless

Tyrant that France owes her liberty or her Con-
stitution. It is to Louts XVIII. and the Powers
of Europe, that her
,debt of gratitude and her
thanks ought to be paid for these blessings. It is
to -the year of light which has just beamed upon
her population, rescuing them from the darkness
of ignorance,. imposed in order to concea; the
delusions of a. Charlatan Governmenl, and the

chains of Slavery, that the country owes even
the semblance of a legal system, and the sha-

tl‘v of a popular representation, which is now
held mit to it. Neither the Corsican nor his
partizans ‘rould ever have granted one privilege,
or restored one right to the people :—nor do they
now act that part, but only to cheat the passing
hour, to avert the pressing danger, and to-esfrxblish
themselves in that security and strengtli which
would enable them again to lord it over prostrate
France, groaning in misery and steeped in blood.

The Speech, We are told by some of MIT Cotem-
Ooraries, is remarkable for its moderation. Mo-
ck:rat-ion Iron) the lips of BUONAPAttTE is like re-
fom the Devil's mouth.. It is to .deceire
and betray. Ile is " a Cnan forbid,"—the frame
of society cannot co-exist with his.pTsession -of
power; and fatal and abhor' eat to reason would
be [lke policy which, after the experience of five
and twenty years, relied on'the professions of this
con% icted breaker of oaths and infaaious scourge
of mankind.

We shall not dwell further upon this poor pro-
duction, so dissimilar to the customary vaunting
and broggard harrangnes which issued from the
same person, when his teal chitracter 'Was deve-
loped by the intoxication of pourcr—it surely can-
not mislead the undetstanding of one rational
being.

His confession, that the demands for finance are
excessive, and the probable receipts ancertain,
is very comfortable to the Allied CauSe. If he
is already embarraised in these respects, what
would he he were the contest to be prolonged six
. _ .
months ?

The end of this harangue is like its beginning,
a piece of unfounded hraggardism--
" Do you," exclaims the Corsican, " Peers
and Representatives, give the nation the exampl-
e _ awl pat rIOUSIII ; and, like
the senate of the great people of antiquity, resolve
to die rather than survive the dishonour and de-
gradation of France."

-Why, it they had resembled the Senate of an-
tiqui!y, they syotild have perished to a man three
mouths ago, rather thau have survived the dis-

honour and degradation, of Prance, in the re-esta
blishment, of. such a wretch,.as
.he who thus ad
dressed them on the throne 01 the 1361.7RD0Ns

The French accounts frortrthe West are cheer-
ing, and we had prepared for the Press some im-
portant inferences to .which they naturally lead,
but the gratifying intelligence since received from
Plymouth (see our first Article) renders them unne-
cessary.

We have, received Jamaica Gazettes-to the 30th
April, from which we learn that the Duke of
MAN CLIESTER, in his capacity of Governor-General
of Jamaica and its Dependencies, has issued a Pro-
clamation forbidding all foreigners of any descrip-
tion whatever to land on any part of the terri-

torics under his controul, except at KingStoll.—
The cause assigned in this Proclamation fOr .the
adoption of this measure is,-that many persons of
a description highly dangerous to .the tranquillity
and security of the idand had arrived there, and
that there was reason to expect that more of a.
similar description might attempt to come. The
Proclamation is dated St: Jago de la Vega, April
28, 1815.

These Gazettes also contain the particulars of
the capture of his Britannic Alajesty's 'armed
schooner St. Lawrence, of 15 guns, by the Ame-
ricanpriyateer the haqseur, of 28 guns, on the
2tli C
-.l2eb. last.
