and to obey the orders of Government. .•
Lieutenant -General Lamarque, Commanding in
Chief the army of the Loire, announces other
• successes, which will contribute without doubt
to open the eyes of the _Chiefs of the insur-
rection, and to make them feel that the time is
past when they wfiltt.l4,l-,exeite the people by deceit-
ful promises, and that the means employed to se-
parate the inhabitants of La Vendee from the
common cause of the nation cannot, from their
very nature, have lasting success.
-A coosiderabledebarkatiou bad been announced
as likely to,taWe'Place Gilles •; General
Travot, who left Nantesharth about two thousand
wen to oppose it, met a gfeat body of Insurgents
between Touvoy and Laroche Cervieres. He
pierced their centre at Liege, routed them, and ar-
rived on-the second at Napoleon. There he was
• assured that eiteumstances were much less serious
than the malevolent had been pleased fo spread
abroad ; he learned that there was no !ringer any
question of a debarkation of men, but only of
muskets, ammunition,' and articles of equipment,
clothing, &c. ,
He learned that we had evacuated St. Gilles,
and -conceiving" the importance -of this point,
. where the debarkation was easy, lie made Gen.
Grosbnn depart with a column of 1,300 men, to
take possession of it. Four hundred insurgents,
who were still there, threw themselves into boats,'
and ~Yeitt to join the corps of Laroche-Jacquelin,
who was 'busy in .the debarkation of arms and
effects.

Ar 3 o'clock in .the morning, General Travot
quitted Napoleon, with the intention of passing
"the river of Vic, at Pas-Oupton, and thus of cut-
ting off all retreat from the corps of Laroche-Jac-
quelin.
This hold project was-e:Keented with a'sticcess
worthy of the greatest praise. General Est4veiul-
e-anted with the first column upon St. Jean de
Mcnt : 'tire second was placed at St. Hilaire de
Riez, Croix-de-Vie, .and St, Gilles. Five bun-
dled muskets inclosed in chests. a great quantity
of pistols, 25 barrels fined with goods, etc..fell
into the power of the General ; but at the mo-
Inent when he returned to the road .of St. Jean de
New, he found it occupied by 3000 insurgents
entrenched in fosses.

General Esteve, as skilful as brave, feigned a
retreat, which drew the entry out of the strong
position which he occupied. Then returning with
the irnpettiosity nattiraV-to our troops, he charged
-rhent with the bayonet, and completely routed
the rebels. Their loss 'vas considerable : among,
the dead was found the body of the Marquis de
Ltroche-Jacquelin, who commanded with' the
rifle of Genei-al- in Chief. He was, on account
of his ardent instigations, one of the greatest ob-
stacles to the extinction of the disastrous war
which he had excited. •

Our loss is very inconsiderable, but the army
trill regret the brave General Grosbon, who died
of a wound received from the fire of musketry
near St. Gilles.

During the nv)vement of GeneralEstt:ve, Ge-
neral Brayer employed the other bands of the in-
surgents by 'a march on (Moller : his column had
no engagement since the • brilliant one of Pont-
Bart. ; but the fine military aspect of his troops,
mid the severe discipline which they observe, im-
print a respect which must produce a salutary ef-
fect.

General Noriau, by his vigorous dispositions,
freed the right hank of the Loire. A battalion
of the `;9th, supported by some gendarmes, vic-
toriously repulsed a party commanded by the Sicur
Landerment, who attempted to approach
.An-
c...nis : detachments advance on Savenay and La
Roche-Bernard. They will re-establish the-com-
lnunication With Vannes.

In short, Lieutenatit-General -Bigarre has re-
ceived orders to organize several columns, and to
make a- general attack on those hands, a feeble
part of the population, which only appears for-
midable by the evidence of the assemblage which
it forms ; while the good citizens, remaining at
taleir homes, wait .with impatience the moment
which Will bring back tranquillity, and will re-
store them to. their labours.

Tilt -National Guard of Nantes is fine, and the
public opinion is manifesled by the excellent re-
ception given to the troops Who' have reinforced
those whose conduct is already so worthy of
praise the regiments have' been received with
cries of nye l'Empereur ! '

On the same day, at four in the afternoon, his
Majesty arrived at Laon, After having rece"ived
'the authorities, he made the tour of the place : he
examined in detail the great works which have

CHAMBER OF REPRESENTAtIVES.
SITTING OF JUNE 15.

After sonic preliminary business, M. Malie-
ville rose, aml proposed, that the emperor should
be requested to present the following Projet in the
form of a law :--

Aiticle I. Every individual is permitted to publish by
means of the press, his opinion on. the La*s And Acts of Go-
vernment, provided his writings .o,r his discourses contain no
direct excitement to Crime, nor seditious calumny, reproach,
or provocation.
2. Discourses delivered in public places or meetings, pla-
cards posted up, and printed writings, itre to be accounted
seditious, in which the author directly excites the citizens to
disobey the Acts or Laws of Government, announces that
they will nut obey them, or declaresthat he will not obey them
himself.

Also all writings which contain a threat or intimation to
overturn the Chief of the State, or to change the Government,
or the order of succession to the throne. _

Also such as dispute the legality of the Government.
Shouts of Ito; ! Vire Louis XVIII.! Vivent les Thiel--
bons to he accounted seditious when tittered in public meet-
jugs or places, or where published in writings, printed or
posted.
s. Those guilty of the above specified seditious excitements
shall he punished with reclusion. ,
Nevertheless, where the said excitements shall-not have
been attended with any effect, their authors shall be merely
punished with imprisonment for six days at the least, and fur
a year at the most.
4. The printers and -41istributorsof seditious writiogo•shall
receive the same punishment as the authors, saving under the
exceptions and distinctions contained in the Gth sec. tit. 1. of
the Penal Code.-

5. Direct excitements to the assassination of the Emperor,
or any of the Imperial Family, to the overturning of the Go-
vernment, to civil war, rebellion, or other.crimes,. shall con-
tinue to he punished in the manner, and according to the'dis-
tinetions, stated in the Penal Code. . . .

i •
k The same shlll be the case as to' calumnious mputations
and reproaches directed against the Emperor, or the Members
of the Imperial Family, which shall he punished with.the same
penalty as if `directed against private individuals.
6. The publication of the acts and proclamations of Powers
foreign or hostile to France already inserted in foreign jour-
nals, shall freely take place through the medium of French
periodical writings and journals: it shall expose their oditors
to no responsibiiily; the latter shall only be hound also to
insert in their printS the explanations or 'refutations which
shall he. furnished them by Government.
7. The enactments pf Tit. 11. of the Law of the 41st of
October, 18 14, relative to the police of the press and of book--
selling, are maintained.

After reading the projet, M. MaHerdic. said,
that he should not have propoed it, unless the,
Minister had announced to the Assembly that it
would have to eit•.ploy itself upon a law repressive
of tl_e license of the press—Unless he had wit-
nessed the dangers "of that license in his depart-
ment ; and, in fine, unless lie had been informed
that. Government meant itself to propOse a plan of
law on this subject.

The Pycsident.—What day des the Assembly
fix for M. Math:vine's developing his motion ?

A MeMber..—T demand its adjournment. To-
monow the Minister Of General Police n;ill make
communications, wiiich Will doubtless be more
useful in pointing.out measures to be adopts(' for
attaining the same object.
M. Crochno.--I support the adjournment on
another account. Before you decide the
,point
when that license becomes an offence against the
State, yon should employ yourselves no the orga-
nisation of the'Jury that is to pronounce upon it.
A single reflection will suflicice to spew the pro-
piety of this. To whom does the law give the
right of forming the Jury ? To the Government.
But the offences of the Press will be in general
directed against the Government itself anti its
agents. And it is certain the Press will cease to
be free the moment the Government can hand
over to a Jury of its own,. those whom it shall ac-
cuse of-such offences.

A Member.—The Jury which has been propos-
- to .decide upon offences of the press will soon
be a dangerous thing; on the same principle, you
will be led to form a Jury for every class of of-
fences. The rules of the ordinary Jury were suffi.-
cient for the punishment of the abuses it was pro-
posed to check.
Malleville wished the day to be fixed, and
contended that discussion at that time was irre-
gular•.
Bedock thought it wotild be unprecedented
to refuse discussion.

Saturday next was accordingly appointed for M.
Malle%ille to be heard.
M. LEGUEVEL (Deputy of Morbihan) proposed
to solicit from the Government, a project of a law
to repress the outrages committed by the bri-
gands, assuming the title of Royal Bands, and he
demanded to he allowed to d6,elop his motives in
the sitting of the day after to-morrow.

The following are the arrangements Which M.
Legnevel submitted to the Chamber :

- -
Art. I. The goods and estates of individuals known to take
part with the rebels shall be sequestrated, and the produce
collected and administered as national property, except a de-
finitive., contiscltion of theSe said effects shall be pronounced
by an ulterior law. The rebel who shall have laid down his
arms, shall nut recover his property till after his amnesty, by
virtue of a replevy granted by Government ; and in no case
shall he be able to claim the revenues, interest, and produce
which fell doe during their rebellion : and his amnesty shall
not acct the sentences pronounced against him, Which will
he hereafter mentioned.

.0 2. All those known to have taken part with these bands of
rebels or brigands, taking the title of the Royal army, are re-
svonsible to the full amount for the damage done by those
bands directly or indirectly, that is to say, they shall indem-
nify the citizens who shall have liven pillaged or robbed by
these same bands, or who shall have been obliged, 'in order
to withdraw themselves from their fury, 'to quit their limes,
or to take refuge in the great towns, ur to follow the :nipe-
riai troops.
3. The Imperial Attornies of the tribunals, on a simple rut-
tier given them by the parties who have been injured, or by
any other, or even if the evemit shall reach their knowledge,
shall, on their resisonsibility, obtain a , jud4-:fleitt to the ad-
vantate of those who Shall have been robbed, or who shall
have ilea, which judgment shall give (12mages to lie fixed by
the Judges, expressly against the rein. S at the (I-port:tient
whose Dames are known, and even all those vlio

At theSe words, all the Asseuilily, ithich till
tLen listened with calmness to, the proposi-
tions of M. Leguevet, manifested the liveb6t
disapprobation.
• From all pails resounded these words 4 pm-
nounced with energy,hlld frequently repeated
The °Met of the Day the Order of the Day !"
SeVera! Members demanded leave to, speak,
and presented themselves at the tribune at the
saute time.

The Assembly demanded, without intermission,
the Order of the Day, and sheaved that it would
have no discussion.

The President succeeded in restoring a mo-
ment's calm in the Assembly ; and then 114 de-
manded if it would hear one of the Speakers who
rresented themselves to the tribune.
The cries of the Order of ihe, Day began again
with the same energy.
The President.-;--I put to the vote the Order of
the Day.
Some Members.—With censure.
The Chamber unanimously passed simply and.
merely to the Order of the Dkiy.
i'l. Pouilly.—Gentlensen, the of the pro-
position which I have to submit to the Chamber
is, the necessity of regulating by law the momen-
tary suspension of the Constitution in sonic dis-
'tricts, while the public safety and the mainte-
nance of tranquillity imperiously require it. There
is absolute need of some regulation in the em-
ployment of those extraordinaly measures which
have hitherto been entirely executed in an at bi-
trary manner. 1 demand to be heard to-morrow,
in order to develoPe this proposition, when
shall confine myself strictly to the principles which
are the basis of our constitutional system.
The proposition %vas supported
.strenuouSly.

. . . .
The President took the sense of the Chalithcr,
which -determined, that the orator should be
beard to-morrow.

M. Dupin next rose, to propose his-- motion for
the appointment 01, a Comntittee of 21 members,
to collect the Constitutions seattered in that vast
bulletin of latvs„ to class, arrange, and recast
them into a general law. it was agreed that M..
Dupin sho►rld be. heat►! on Monday.next, on the
subject of this pl:►n of law.
' Some discussion the►► arose on a -proposition
that ►aembers should be •allo►ced to support their
set propositions in written speeches,- not by ex-
tempore speaking. The decision of this question
was postponed.

Pants, Jutcc 16.—The Duke •of 13,:issano has

Among the Officers whom his Majesty at his
departnre appointed -for the defence of Paris, are
Generals Sebastiani, Greasier, Beaumont, Com-
pans, Bce,
The measures of severity taken by the Commis-
siok of high Police for the 16th Military Divi-
siuti; in regard to the inhabitants of Dunkirk,
have been susr ended by the Commission, upon
the protestations of fidelity and obedience which
they have received front the authorities, and prin-
cipal inhabitants of that town.

The following lettcr'was on Friday posted at the
Conithercial looms, Bristol. In the House of
Commons, on Thursflay night, Mr. VANSITTART
sated, that in the approaching contest, it was not
probable the. enemy would he able to 'make any
great effort by sea, and that Ministers looked for-
Ward to a considerable diminution in the Navy
Es'Amates. The -fact is, we believe, that BuoNA..
PARTE has not only stripped- his ships- of their
guns, but hurried the seamen
,off to the armie3.
Orders have consequently been issued by our Go-
verument to discontinue the impressment 'cif sea-
