PARIS, DEC. 31.—1 n the sitting of the Chant
her of yesterday, after some routine hi, iness Lai
kettr disposrd ot, the President addressed them a
follows :

'' GENTL,r.:\IEN-:--Before his 'Majesty's Ministe
arrive to announce our separAion, permit we
who have been happily in a situation to coUre
your deliberations, to present to you an abstrac
of their leadin,gresults.

" If, confidhjg in the Royal impartiality,- yen
have laid some restraints on "the liberty of du
Press, your object was to enjoy in a short thin
more surely irs invaluable benefits, when tlio's(
laws shall have been prepared, which are destio•
ed to give secnrity to the Government, to morvic_z
and the peace of families.
" Like his Majesty, you, would have wishet
that the public burthens bad been less heavy; but
it was necessary, on the one band, .to provide ft)]
the 'wants of the army--for an immense public
debt ; and, on the other, to revive -that, public
credit which gives the means' of diScl:arging. it,
and facility for new resources. If a just conti•
deuce has this year led you to vote various general
apps opri'at ions,
_all I• ienchmen expect with you,
that in thejlext session, detailed accmints, sup-
ported by Joeuments for every- receipt- and dis-
bursement, will er.ablc you to examine whether it
is not possible to hasten the fulfilment of the
wishes of our King for the relief of his people.
" YOu were deeply concerned at the necessity
of re-establishing cert-Ain taxes against wl;ich at
port 1.0 :1 of France protested ; but when those who
pay them ref-t-,•t that indirect imposts are the
Surest re3ource of modern States, that it is under
their shelter that agriculture; our first of Diana-
factures, can best prosper ; when they reflect the
the low is Only temporary, and that you are:Wont:
to deliberate with your felh)4-eitizettt, for.the-pio'
pose of discovering a system of imposts- appro.-
print e to our territory, our productions, our ha-
bits,' and ti►e beneficent wishes of his Majesty;
some will resign themseltes to necessity, and
others to hope.

" If you have not vet been t•thle. to repair great
calionitics, your justice has at Itcst reserved the
power Of seconding the nob!e voice which was
heard in the Chamber of I'eer3. You probably
also, regret, Gentlemen, that you have not be ii
occupied r.hout the fate of those net; by whom
thnre!igious foundations of society are-strengtheii-
ed ; you regret it now that true philosophy and
rtligion appear inclined to unite in order to for-
tify morals, mid give the public mind a surer light.
National spirit, ill which haVe been
chargod with being deficient, animated all your.
deliberations. It was conspicuous in.the laws re-
-I.:tive to industry ; and we reply to those who
limy be inclined to accuse us of too much par-
tiality, that error itself is honourable when it is
pa' • . _

" The national spirit has displayed itself On the
subject of the IaWS relative to commerce. Though
. you enlarged,• so to speak, the Circle of represen-
tation, by summoning around you the intelli-
gence of the Chambers of commerce, you have.
still only been able to make some preparation for
a better system. In a country-to which' the tides
of the ocean had been rendered almost useless, it
was impossible to do more for the present bat
public opinion appreciating_ the prudence of your
attempts, foresees that when the state of Europe
-and that of your colonies shall have been regulat-
ed, you will then be called upon to assist in the
enactment of laws truly national. .
" A national spirit, eminently French, tnanif
lested itself tipnong you in those laws whichjc7
gard the person-of the 'Monarch : yon were the
true organs of all whom you represent, when -yoq
voted that same Civil List with which- grief lc-
minds us that Louis XVI. end Owed the Crown ;
and above' all, when you unanimously resolved
that France was responsible for the debts of hell

;mug.

" It is thus, Gentlemen, that you have re-.
conciled to a Representative Government its great-
est adversaries. On again finding warriors equal`
to their ancestors, they perceive that that floe
feeling, the soul of Monarchies, while diffirsea
through the whole Nation, thereby acquireS stilt
more energy, •and places in the hands of a King
of France a more powerful engine. The honour
of the country, to borrow the expressions ef.
man of whom France feels proud,' [M. Chateau'
t
hriand)—the honour of the country, by uniting 2'l'.
Frenchmen, will continue the iniro les wiliciz
Heaven caased to break forth on the a.ipearaoce
of a son of St. Loci;,.
Let .tis.depart, then, in peace to our home,'
to tried tate on that law of re-election, 21b1'.
to:ich several of us are already occupied, 0,0:1
which should satisfy the noble emulation cf 2"0.
