The Chamber having invited two of its Mem-

The Chamber then unanimously decided, that
if M.M. de la Bourdonnaie and Jules de Polignac

cease to be Members, as having refused to submit
to an obligation which was imposed upon them

LETTER FROM PARIS.

(EXTRACT FROM THE RHENISH MERCURY.)

PARIS, SEPT. M.—One needs to lire bat a short time is
this country, and to have observed what passes, in order to
see how the French, in whose minds Buonapartism still Hot:-
rishes (and particularly Bnonapartes Grandees, who have
entered into the present system, with their old dispositions,
and have changed nothing but their cockade), take alt ima-
ginable pains to decry, to calumniate,
,and to render odious,'
the Prussian peopk, and particularly its ariny, which they
have immediately before their eyes. They go about with this
bad language not only among themselves and their own peo-
ple, but even try to makeithem heard by the other fot signers,
who they likewise hate, though in a less degrees-The leaders
among them, boldly fill the higher circles, which are com-
posed of various elements, with their cries and complaints.
The. PrusSians, say they, are a very bad and hardhearted
people; they treat poor France as if they had resolved to raake
it quite desolate for a thousand years to come. Such severity
was hardly shewn by that barbarian King, who, wheat the
Romans, after hearing his enormous demands, asked what he.
then Jeft them, answered, " your lives."—The Prussian Ar
continue they, consist of undisciplined and untameable
hordes. They lay
.waste the emintit, and their demands are
insatiable. These soldiers are full of a wild violent spirit,
which impels them beyond all the restraints of order and law.
Great care must be taken lest this be attended with dreadful'
consequences, by which the i epose of Europe, sO much longed
for by the peace-loving Frtywe in particular, and by all the
other nations, may be again disturbed." These disciples have
well learnt from their Lord and Master, that when one has a.,
mind to give currency to an absolute lie, one has only to pro-
duce it with a noble assura nee, and neverto be weary of repeat-
ing it a hundred and a thousand times. The grounds of this •
proceeding are very easy to be explained. The dnminatiorrof
Bnonaparte, -the wicked snirit.which 110 got into the world
through him, is the eleMent in which his disciples. and scho-
lars live; whateVer external ftrin they may for .the moment
assume, this spirit pervades, and'is incorporated with their
existence. Twice already it has been cosiquered and en-
chained by the lofty spirit that has d.ereloped• itself in the
Prussian people, an,! has been communicated .from them to,
all Germany ; this lofty spirit it is which threatens to raise
also for the future an insuperable- bulwark to their longing,
and their hopes of bringing their system to flourish again';
they must, therefore (this they are thick if not by a clear per- ,
eeption, yet by a certain natural instinct) endeavour. to,at.,
tack and combat this spirit in itsiminist elements. Hence
the furious inextinguishable hate to Prussia, which cats and.
mav he reconciled as little as Ormuz and Arrituan, as virtue
and vice car unite for one object. "He will bruise his head,
and thou wilt bruise his heel ;" that is the eternal sentence
of the Divinity which separates the two opposite. extremes in
the moral order of the world. •

And what complaints can those honest gentlemen allege,
against Prussia ? Perhaps that it abuses the right of conquest,
and makes unreasonable and unjusidemands upon them. In-
deed you must have wonderfully short memories, if you have
eatirtiv forgotten how you proceeded on German ground for
seven'tireadiol years together,. It is not only the exorbitant
or military contributions Which you have'extorted from us—
not only the endless requisitions of erery kind, and in which
the nobleman, the citizen, the peasant, were overwhelmed—
nut merely the countless robberies practised upon us, on both
a large and a snail scab by your Governors, your Commis-
saries, your COmmandants, with their train—not only the
iron yoke you laid upon our commerce and industry, by which
you dried up all our means of subsistence to the very remotest
sources.

All this was not enough for you ; no, eon have besides
wounded us in the dearest and most sacreel feelings of our
limits, in an existence as a nation. Your impious hands have
attempted to rob us of our laws, of our I:minters, of our lan-
guage; our lawful Princes you have partly insulted and ex-
pelled, partly dishonoured; you have sent scoundrels, with
whom no honest German would willingly sit at the same table,
and placed upon their head the profaned [loyal Diadem. All
this, andinfinitely more, you have done, your Buotiaparte,
and you his faithful followers and servants, to this very day.
You have done it unprovoked, unoffended, merely out of ar-
rogance, and its the
.wickedness of your hearts. But all this
might be
.forgotten, and_ it is far from us to do evil to you,
or to satiate old revenge. We will not infringe your inde-
pendence, or your just frontiers; we will not interfere in
your internal concerns. •
lint
what shall the German Nation,
to whose defence the Prussian Government, with the others,
is called—what shall the world and posterity think of this
Government, if for all the robberies you have cowuiitted
upon us, for all the sacrifices to which you have lately again
compelled it, should demand in its turn no indemnity from
you; if it did not insist that you be confuted again within
your natural frontiers; and that at least it should be math:
difficult for you to invent and . practice new wrongs ? Go to
Germany., and hear the ptiblie voice, bow angrily it com-
plains that you are treated with such boundless mildness and
favour, and our sacred rights purchased with our most pre-
cious blood lavished away upon you. . .

Do you complain of the conduct of the Prussian troops ?
Recollect, if you please, you innocent oppressed, how you
went on in Germany for so many years.
It cannot have wholly slipped your Memory how your Ge-
nerals carried off the silver plate on winch they had been
served, the valuable ornaments of the household fat-name
which German simplicity had left unburied ; how your sol-
diers exchanged whole handfuls of stolen silver coin, because
it was too heavy for them to carry, for a few pieces of gold,
with your brethren the Jews. Is there not one of you there,
who was in tBO6 on the excursion through iNiecklenbdrgh to
.Lubeck ? Au honest countryman of yours; of whom you
are unworthy, says, while relating the horrors that passed
there—" Fur centuries to come, one must be ashamed of the
name of Frenchman." 4,-

What need of any farther testimony ? These are all no-
torious and incontrovertible facts; Aid what have yon .to re-
proach the Prussian soldiers with That you are obliged to
Plantain and feed them according to established, exactly ob-
served regulations, that. the Warrior may not suffer want
after his bloody work. If you were not obliged to do this,
