The question of one or two Chambers is warmly
debated between the party of the old dynastic gauche
under the leadership of M. THIERS, and that of the
moderate republicans who follow the banner of M.
ARMAND MARRAST.

The Bien Public, M. DE LAMARTINE'S paper,
says—

" The Club des, Representans du Pouple, of which M.
Marrast is the president, and which meats at the Palais
National, held a sitting on Sunday night, which did not
break up till a very late hour. The projected constitu-
tion is said to have been the subject in discussion, and
to have given rise to warm debates. If the information
we have received be correct, the club came to an almost
unanimous vote in favour of the legislative power being
vested in a single Chamber."

The fifth, seventh, and ninth bureaux have
decided in favour of only one Chamber, and M.
TITTERS, despairing of carrying two Chambers, is now
endeavouring to increase the power of the President.
He proposes that the President, after having served
for three years, should be re-eligible for three years
more, so that he might retain office for six years in
all, but that after that period he should not be re-
eligible. He also proposes that the President should
have the power of suspending a resolution of the
Assembly for eight days, after which the question
should be submitted to the Council of State, and if it
approved of the suspension, that then the question
should be again submitted to the Assembly, where
its determination should be final. He proposes that
the President should have the prerogative of mercy ;
but that in order to exercise it he must have the ap-
probation of the Council of State ; and lastly he
proposes that the salary of the President should be
one million of francs per annum.
MARTIN, DEBRAT, LEDRU, and LECORNU, the
Gerdes Mobiles who were decorated for their coura-
geous conduct during the insurrection, are to be im •
mediately received at St. Cyr, and several others are
to obtain a similar favour.

ACCEPTANCE BY THE ARCHDUKE OF
THE ADMINISTRATORSHIP OF GER-
MANY.
The deputation from Frankfort arrived at Vienna
on the 4th, which was celebrated as a fete day in
Vienna.
On the sth the deputation went in state to the
Palace of Archduke JOHN. At ten o'clock in the
morning the civic authorities and the National Guard
and students went in procession to the house where
the Frankfort deputies had taken up their abode ;
and, after an exchange of greeting between them and
the heads of the procession, they got into Court car-
riages prepared for the occasion, and, followed by the
rest of the procession, went to the State Chancery.
The procession was greeted as it passed by the most
enthusiastic cheering of immense crowds, which had
assembled, and the ringing of bells. The streets were
hung with flags and banners. The deputation was
accompanied on its entrance into the State Chancery
by the civic authori les, and they were received by
his Imperial Highness, surrounded by the Austrian
Ministers, the Ambassadors of all the German States,
and numbers of Generals.
At the palace a battalion of Grenadiers and
National Guards were drawn up as a guard of honour.
The Deputies were immediately ushered into the
presence of his Imperial Highness, who was sur-
rounded by a brilliant staff and all the Ministers and
the Representatives of all the German Courts.
Baron ADRIAN then spoke as follows :
"The Constituent German National Assembly sends
to your Imperial Highness, through the present depu-
tation respectful greeting. As Vice-President of the
Constituent National Assembly, will your Imperial
Highness allow me to call upon the Speaker to read the
address of the National Assembly to your Imperial
Highness ? "
The address, which is as follows, was then read :
" IMPERIAL HIGHNESS !
" The Constituent National Assembly, in its sitting of
the 28th of June, passed a law on the establishment of
a provisional central power tor Germany, as herein con-
tained, and to the execution of the same, proceeds to-
day to the election of an Administrator of the Empire
(Reichs-verweser).
" Your Imperial Highness having been selected and
proclaimed Administrator amidst the loud applause of
the National Assembly, will deign to perceive from this
protocol that the Assembly has selected seven of its
members, viz.—
" Vice-President Baron Victor V. Andrian, of Austria,
" The Speaker, Dr. Friederich Jucho, of Frankfort,
and the deputies—
" Karle Franke, of Schleswig Holstein.
"Dr. J. Gustav Heckscher, of Hamburgh.
" Franz Raveaux, of Rhenish Prussia.
" Herrmann of Rottenhan, of Bavaria, and
" Von Saucken-Tarputschen, of Prussia,
to make your Imperial Highness acquainted with its
proceedings.
"The Prxsidium of the National Assembly fulfils the
mission intrusted to it, by giving formal credentials to
the said deputies to wait upon your Imperial Highness.
" It obeys its sentiments when it expresses the confi-
dence with which it beholds the direction of the affairs
of Germany placed in the hands of a Prince who, above
all others, knew how to respond in words never to be
forgotten, to the demands of unity and unison in our
fatherland.
" May it please your Imperial Highness graciously to
receive our respectful homage.
" The Prmsidium of the Constituent National As-
sembly. " H. GAGERN,
" SOIRON,
" Frankfort, June 29, 1848." " ANDRIAN.
HECRSCHER then addressed the ARCH-DUKE in a
very complimentary speech, concluding as follows :
" One wish animates the whole nation, to which we
subscribe with all our heart : it is, that your Imperial
Highness will decide to accept the high calling which
their love and confidence in your Imperial Highness has
induced them to offer."
The ARCH-DulEz replied in the following
terms :

" Gentlemen—l feel myself flattered and honoured
by the choice that has fallen upon me to fill the important
post of Administrator of the empire—a selection which
the Assembly has assured me has received the approba-
tion of the German Governments.
" .The confidence and well wishes thus shown towards
me, impose great obligations upon me. To fulfil them
is my most ardent desire. I feel in full measure the
honour, and at the same time the importance and the
difficulties attending the dignity conferred upon me.
May the Almighty provide me with the necessary
strength to reply to the same for the welfare
of the German Fatherland ; may all true friends
of our country lend rne their aid to that end. The
desired object can be obtained only through unity, re-
ciprocal moderation, disinterestedness of views, and love
ofjustice.. Gentlemen, I beg of you to be persuaded of
one thing, that my sole ambition shall consist in em-
ploying the remaining strength of my advanced years
for the welfare of our country. lam placed, however,
in one dilemma I allude to my position here. It pre-
vents me already from stating when I shall be able to
assume the duties of Administrator of the Empire. I
shall, without delay, enter into communication with the
Emperor, my most gracious master, to see how I may
reconcile the duties of my new position with the confi-
dence he had previously placed in me.
The AROLIDDKE'S speech was listened to in the
deepest silence, and ANDRIAN replied as follows :
" The National Assembly receives, through us, with
gratification and joy, the assurance of the acceptance on
the part of your Imperial Highness. It finds. thereby
the confidence justified which it ever placed in the true
German sentiments of your Imperial Highness."
The ARCHDUKE then advanced with the Deputies
on to the balcony, after exclaiming, " Now, we are
all brothers !" and addressed the assembled multitude
beneath in a short but well-adapted speech, of which
‘ermany was the burthen. One hundred and one
guns then announced to the world that Germany had
selected one supreme head—a .Meichs-verwerser, or

commaralal and dtpftrtr:igrnte►l works of publio utility.
The Committee consists of MM. WALDECK, Rom-
SEAU, Ducos, RANDOING, and GRANDIN, Members of
the Assembly; MemErtiL, President of the General
Council of Manufactures, &c.
Another Commission is formed under the Minister

of Commerce for the encouragement of agriculture,
by the distribution of the three millions of francs set
aside for that purpose by the National Assembly, " in
advances to associations freely contracted, whether
between labourers, or between labourers and their
employers."
M. DE CHATEAUBRIAND has named in his will
MM. MANDAROUI-VERTAMY, LOUIS DE CHATEAU-
BRIAND (his nephew), lirps DE NEUVILLE, and DE
LEVIS, as the frienes to whose care he confides the
superintendence of the publication of his posthumous
memoirs, to which he has given the fantastic title of
ilfentoires doutre-toml.e.
