ADDRESS OF CONDOLENCE TO HIS MAJESTY
LOUIS PHILIPPE FROM THE ENGLISH RE-
SIDENTS IN PARIS.
A very numerous and most respectable meeting of the
English residents in Paris took place on Saturday morn.
ing at Law•son's Hotel, Bedford, rue St. Honore, Paris
to consider the propriety of presenting an address of cons
dolence and sympathy to the King of the French, on the
melancholy death of his Royal Highness the Duke of
Orleans.

Colonel SAUNDERSON (late Grenadier Guards) said
that in proposing that his Grace the Duke of Montrose
should take the Chair, he was actuated by the feeling
that not only was he entitled to it from his rank, but
that he was the person most capable of discharging the
duties of his situation with ability.
Mr. TYNTE (late Member for Somerset) seconded the
proposition, which was unanimously acceded to.
The Duke of MONTROSE could not but comply with
the wishes of the meeting, when he saw that the sym-
pathy which was felt by the English residents in Paris
was of the same heartfelt character as he himself ex-
perienced. He could not anticipate the slightest diffe-
rence of opinion on the propriety of presenting the ad-
dress, for which the meeting was convened. It had been a
question of presenting a second address of condolence to
her Royal Highness the Duchess of Orleans, but it hav-
ing been ascertained that it was not the etiquette of the
French Court for any member of the Royal family to 111
receive addresses on the present occasion except the
King, that idea had been abandoned. , He mentioned
this circumstance that it might be generally understood,
that the refraining from presenting an address to her
Royal Highness did not proceed from a want of respect
or sympathy for her irreparable loss. He would not
longer trespass on the time of the meeting, but would
now allow them to hoar the address read.
The Earl of LEVEN and MELVILLE said that this mis-
fortune was not only deeply felt in France, but in every
part of Europe.- England participated most sincerely in
the regret that was universally felt, and he would ven-
ture to say that the sentiments which were expressed in
the address which he was about to read, would be ac-
knowledged by every man in England. His Lordship then
read the following address, which he proposed should be
adopted by the meeting :

"TO HIS MAJESTY LOUIS PHILIPPE, KING OF TIIE

FRENCh.

" We, the undersigned, subjects of her Majesty the
Queen of Great Britain, now in Paris, approach your
Majesty with feelings of profound sorrow for the griev-
ous calamity which has fallen upon your Majesty and
your Royal house.
"In common with every feeling heart, we offer to your
Majesty, to your virtuous and beloved Queen, to her
Royal Highness the Duchess of Orleans, and every mem-
ber of your excellent and united family, our sincere sym-
pathy and condolence.
"We join with this whole nation lamenting the
loss of a brave, generous, and amiable Prince, thus sud-
denly removed from his affectionate family and admiring
countrymen.
" May God enable you all to sustain with resigna-
tion this most heavy calamity, and continue to your Ma-
jesty His protection through a long, peaceful, and pros-
perous reign."
The Hon. Captain KNOX, R.N., felt great pleasure in
seconding* the proposition.
The address was then put in due form to the meeting,
and unanimously adopted.
The thanks of the meeting were then voted to the Duke
of Montrose for his dignified conduct in the chair, and
the meeting broke up.
