SITTING OF Nov. 23.

The installation of the President and the Secretaries
being on the order of the day, there was a very full at-
tendance to hear the inauguration speech of the new
President.

M. Duchatel, the senior deputy, having taken the
chair, after thanking the Chamber for the attention he
had received, said, 6, A most important event, Gentle-
men, has signalised the short period of my officiating as your
President. I have been fortunate enough to offer to the
King, in the name of the Chamber, the expression of the
sentiments of indignation and devotedness awakened in
every heart by the horrible attempt made on the 10th
of November by the despairing factions. On this occa-
sion I did not regret my age, since, while it gave me the
right of being the organ of my colleagues, it could not
diminish the warmth of roy feelings.—(Applause.) In
saving the King, God has saved France. —(Applause.) I
congratulate myself, Gentlemen, on having to call to the
chair which I am about to vacate one of our most
illustrious orators, who has always defended, with so
much courage and eloquence, the cause of order and
true liberty. He receives to-day the just reward of his
exertions. You have chosen him as the symbol of the
triumph of reason over disorder, and of the laws over
anarchy."—(Continued applause.)

. .
M. Duchatel and the Provisional Secretaries then
quitted their seats, which were occupied by M. Dupin
nine and the newly-elected Secretaries, respectively.
M. Dupin, in the midst of profound silence, spoke as
follows:—" Gentlemen, and dear colleagues, after three
elections, of which I have already had to boast in ano-
ther place, your kindness has added a fourth, the glory
of which surpasses all the former. If this distinguished
favour be a token of approbation of my Parliamentary
conduct, lam fully sensible of its value. The Presidency
of the Chamber of Deputies is in my eyes (and I say it
for the honour of the Representatives of the country)
the highest dignity of the State, and, when once attained
cannot be relinquished without descending in the scale.
In this Palace legal Government, springing from our
glorious revolution, first had birth—in this Palace the
Charter of the 7th of August, 1830, was voted—in this
Palace Louis Philip came to receive the title of King of
the French, and heard our oaths after we had received
his. Important laws, the inseparable complement of our
fundamental compact, have been promised. Some of these
have been passed in the preceding Sessions : let us finish
the work—let us at length endow the country with those
institutions so anxiously desired, so impatiently expected.
—(Marks of assent.) A communal and departmental
law, which, without interfering with that unity of com-
mand and action so requisite for the Government of a great
nation like France, shall restore to the communes and
departments, however, a large share in the manage-
ment of their local affairs. A law on the responsibi•
lity of the Ministers, which will prove to them that this
responsibility is at length not illusory, and that they
should govern with firmness and with independence, since
the glory of the Administration and their own safety are
involved. A law on public instruction, public in the
fullest sense of the word, in order that a greater number
of cititens may be admitted to a participation in political
rights, when they have learnt to know them and rendered
themselves capable of exercising them. A law on the
situation of officers (both in the military and naval ser-
vice), without losing sight of the equilibrium required by
the other services, or of the capabilities of the Treasury,
already so much involved in debt. Finally, various laws
relating to finance and industry, especially a law on
expropriation for motives of public utility, which may
assist the Administration in vanquishing the egotism and
spirit of chicanery of proprietors, who often, by their exag-
gerated pretensions, arrest the execution of undertakings
at once the most useful and the most calculated to secure
work to the artisans, outlets to commerce, and easy
communications to all citizens.—(Applause.) Gentle.
man, and dear colleagues, the fate of the country is in
our hands ; the union of all Frenchmen depends, perhaps,
on the union of their Deputies, and the approximation of
their opinions.—(Applause.) Let us make this Session
as profitable by the laws which we make as by the good,
the intelligent, and truly governmental spirit which cha-
racterise our discussions, rendering them a means of
mutual enlightenment, not a painful source of bitter-
ness and irritation. Let us contend only in zeal and de-
votedness for the defence of the rights and interests of the
country, and let each of us have to reflect with pride on
having formed part of the Session of 1832. For myself,
gentlemen, and dear colleagues, being charged with the
maintenance of your regulation, my intention as well as
my duty is to have them observed with the strictest im-
partiality. Strengthen me by your assistance when neces-
sary, and support me in the efforts which I shall con-
stantly make to insure the liberty of the tribune, and
maintain the calmness and dignity of your deliberations."
—(Loud and continued applause followed the conclusion
of this address.) _

On the motion of the President the thanks of the
Chamber were unanimously voted to M. Duchatel, for
his conduct as Provisional President.

The Deputies then retired to organize the Committee
to prepare the Address. The following nine Deputies
were nominated :—Messrs. Repelletier d'Aulnay, Martin
(du Nord), Pelet (de la Lozere), Keratry, Madier de Mont-
jau, De Schonen, Beranger, De Vatismenil, and Etienne.
No day was fixed for the next public sitting.
