PA RI S PAPERS.

( From At journal tits Dibdts of Fr;day.)
P Am's, Me. -yesti,rday read some
well-merited praise of the Ordotmance which
creates a number of Peers. Doubtless sortie
names dear to the Royalists were worthy to ttug.
snent'this brilliant list of the munificence of the
Crown : but we begin by thanking it for the be-0
neut., without measuring it, being persuaded that
the Ministers, who are in so good a way, will
not now stop. One Of the advantages of the Or*
donnance, not yet remarked, is, 'that it begins
the relations necessary between the two Chain,
bers. In England several of the Peers dispose
of seats iu the noose of Commons, and their
sons may bit in that House, In France the Peers
have nothing to do with nominating the Deno,
•
ties, and the age required by the Charter taloa
from their children the hope of entering the
Elective Chamber. Theie was only one means,
then, of making this separation of the two
Cherebers cease—that of uniting them by the
bonds of kindness, so that the services and
talents of the Deputies may conduct theta to the
highest dignities of tlie State. This appears to
us a fortunate idea, nod if ever it ought to be
carried into execution, Dow is the time,
Septennial Parliaments are.abota to give stability
to our institutions, and make us advance rapidly
in the spirit of the representative system. As to
pensions, we are afflicted to .see the Aristocracy
reduced to such a resource---hut whose fault is
this ? Accuse the age, accuse 'tart civil law,
establishing en equal division of property,
even among the children of Peers, conducts the
nation to tin Agrarian law, to 'democracy, end has
no relation whatever 'With the political laws of
the restoration. if the Chamber of Peers was
only Open to fortune, it would be for ever shut
against faMilies, which have made the greatest
sacrifices for monarchy and legitimacy. Every
thing in the'llevolution was not.crione. French,.
111P11, worthy of the name, knew how to devote
themselves both to fidelity and glory, but the
latter has given lands to the soldiers who f01..'
lowed its banners, and the former has left no-
thing to the hands that carried the flag.

PARIS, ‘.2.6.--Mesors. do Labourdonnaye
and Delalot are not inserted in the list of Presi.
dents of the Electoral Colleges, which proves
that the Ministry does not like to be oppoied
under any pretext, and that in delivering them-
selves from the fatigues of an annual election,
they mean to get rid of every kind of opposition
whatever. The Journal des Daals, however,
wishes us to believe that the Ministry will not
op-
posee the election of Royalists Ivho have declared
themselves openly against the Ministers. As the
Ministry has taken care not to appoint any suck
esidents of Colleges, all which can be con-
eluded from theie words is, that there is no
certainty that they will be excluded from the
Chamber. •

(From the Conat;tmtlonnel.)
PARIS, Dte.ttl.—Before pronouncing the ilk•
solution of the Chambers, which Is to he the pre-
lude to Ssptennial Parliaments, it was necessary
that the King of Spain should be at Port Saint
Mary's. This great measure could therefore not
Tee aecomplishcfd but by the destruction of the
now Spanish Government. Thus the war was
undertaken to assure our Ministers seven years
calm existence. No person thought of this
reason for hostilities, nor that the iiidassoa was
atiother Rubicon, which was crossed to Conquer
a modification of, the Constitutional Chirter.

Nuts 25.—The ordinances of dissolution, ronVoca.
don, anted the nomination of the presidents of the electoral
colleges, will appear to-morrow (Thursday) In the Illoniteur.
Those who conceived that there was any hesitation respecting
the publication of these decrees, and thenceinferred the elm-
tante of doubt, timidity, and incertitude in the Ministry, have
been imperfectly informed of facts, or have not taken the trouble
to reflect a moment.

According to the terms of the Charter, article 50, the King
can dissolve the Chamber of Deputies ot the Departments ; but
in:this ease he is bound to convoke a nevi one within the Period
of three months.

The election law of 1017 requires two months for the fulfil-
ment of the electoral formalities.
If the Icing of Spain had been liberated in the month of Au-
gust, by publishing the ordinance of dissolution in the month of
September, the elections would have taken place in the
month of November, at a period when the season still adMits
of travelling ; but Ferdinand did not arrive at Port St. Mary
argil the month of October, and by promulgating the ordi-
nance in the month of November, the-elections could not, take
place until January, at month during which the rigour of the
session night .prevent electors tram proceeding to the emettowris
of their respective departments, which are at a great dittance
from file residences of some, It was, therefo, of the most tar;
imnt necessity, to delay the ordinance, in order that the elections,
fixed to take, place at the end of February and beginnin"g of;

they antecedently, subniitted the. project of law which -they
will.preeent at the tribune to the,discuesion of a free press
they announced, that, 'to obtain it, they were determined to
dissolve the Chamber ; they Unhesitatingly ex-posed therriSei9ea

wrest front lliinisters the merit of the sa.cri6ee. It was easy for
them to have reposed tranqn illy with. the Support of a majority
already secure. Firm in their plan, they, in the tponth of Oc-
tober,
,fixed the t 21th of Detember for the publication of the
ordinances, and they appear on the appointed day.
Can the Opposition, without acting in manifest contradiction
.to their interests and principles, declare
,against the dis.sohl.
lion of the Chamber ? of the partial ret.ioval of the Chum.
her had taken plane this year, what ,would 4v! become of dila
Opposition ? Would it not have lost the remainder of its
weight ? Can this Opposition, which boaste of Sustaining
Alone the Constitutional Government, find fault that Itlinistersy
determined to propose the modification of an erticle of hex
Charter, have made an appeal to all electors instructed by
public notoriety. Surely the Oppostion do not deem this
traitorous : if they are in the right, if opinion be in their
favour, as they boast, they are only, by this measure, sent
to the electors to recruit their ranks, and return triumphant.
Then, hi:vinyl' in, the Chamber an elective majority of votes

of power, and maintain those liberties which, as every one
knows, have always prospered. in ,their lianele. 'The Opposition,
however; violently arreign the measure J slow is this ? Does*
arise from the consciousness of their impotence? We arc inclined
to believe Si)) to strive to revive worn-out cAltnimies—to call
for the re-establishment of the .anelent regime--to alarne the
Purchasers of national property--to preach again the old rev°.
lutionary crusade against the neblee rind priests--and to say
that all the national liberties are about to he annihilated, be-
CAtlse, it is a question of an integral renewal (a renewal f•syour.

beaten, and that they defend a hopeless cause:

tridents non-eligible.
We again inquire of you—the Ministers, have they wiithed
to change friends.; is it against the trukjority of the Chant-
her that they have directed the project of the law of the integral
renewal ?
With regard to this project, public opinion has, in fact, been
pronounced up9n iG All that,,,hotti ham :said against the ht.
tegral renewal is so weak, that all well-regulated mind*, re-
ject the prejudices with which it was at first attempted to in-
spire them. . .
But, finally, whether Illinioterlt he liked or not, whether the
public be for or against the project of law, there is only one
course for the. toyalisto,which into premed to the elections, and
give the King depot ea who are the friends of legitimate mo-
narchy. If the Chamber is destined henceforth to be renewo
integrally, it is an additional reason that it shonhi be Royaliet,
in order that it may frame good laws during its durationi,
that it may give birth to another Chamber es .Royalist as itself.
The heritage of good doctrines in the Ek.ctive (Umber w2ll.
perpetuate the glory of the throne of the Bourbon*, and the
prosperity of France.
Every where power will second the etferto of the. Royalist!.
Ministers will not oppose even the election of noyanets tow
have openly declared against them;. they are only,their one,

talents are useful, principles excellent, and character ho-
