CHAMBER OF DEII7I R—i —S rr T Ibrc or A (to. 11.

The President took the chair at one o'clock, and announced tha
the order of the day was for the Deputies to take the oath to the
Dew Charter. He then Informed the Chamber that he had recehed
addresses from various departmental towns, approving of the pro_
ccedings of the Chamber since its meetings. Among them were St.
Quentin, Chateau Thierry. Limoges, and Chateauroux.
The President read letters from the following Deputies, giving In
the resignation of their seats, viz. Messrs. Syrieys de Mayrinhae.
Pas de Beaulieu. Lemair, de Vaudreuil, and Champagny. The
letters were referred to the Minister of the Interior.

The President then read the form of the oath to be taken by the
members of the Chamber, which wu as fellows :—" I swear fidelity
to the King, to the Constitutional Charter, and to the laws of the
kingdom, and to conduct myself in all things as behoves a good
and loyal Deputy." M. Mercier—l do not think that the formula
of this oath will satisfy every body. I move that the formula
should run—" I swear fidelity to the King of the French." (Se-
conded.) I think it impossible to impose an oath upon the Chant.
ber by any other means than by a law. Several voices—The Cham-
ber of Peers have taken the oath according to the formula which has
just been read. The President—l think that before a law shall
have been made, the oath ought to be taken after the ancient for-
mula. No doubt you may modify it, but Ido not conceive how it
can affect any consciences, nor how there can exist any hesitation.
We are going to swear fidelity to the King of the French, to the
King who signed in this Hall, three days ago, the fundamental
compact, without which he would not have been King of the French.
We are going to swear to the Charter, not to the Charter of 1814,
which was granted to us, but to the compact of August 9. Mental
reservations have been alluded to ; these may be made on any sub.
ject. Every one may give the motives for his vote. 1 will read
the oath ; every one on taking the oath shall say, " I swear it," or
" I protest against." M. de Corcelles—The proposition of AI.
Mercier is seconded. I move for the adjournment of the oath, till
the law upon the oath shall have been enacted.
M. Berryer—lt is my opinion that no modification of the oath
that has just been read, can be made. The Chamber decided that
no alteration should be made in the formula of the oath. The Pre-
sident proceeded to call over the names of the members.
M. d'Abancourt—" With a heart afflicted at the misfortunes of a
family whom I have faithfully served, but convinced that the tie
which bound us together was violently severed on the 25th of
' July, when an odious Ministry dared to command the blood of
Frenchmen to be shed, I swear it without reserve." M. Accary—
i" I swear it." - -

M. Agier—lf individual interest alone was in question, I might
hesitate ; but it is the general intent of my country that is to beton.
sidered. Having consulted my conscience, I feel called upon to save my
country from anarchy, as by hesitation I may become guilty of
throwing it into doubt and disorder • and u I am convinced that
those who have themselves violated a sacred oath, have absolved me
from mine to them, I take that which is required of me without
reservation.

M. Becquey—All the world knows my devotedness to the late le.
gitimate posseswre of the throne. I make therefore the greatest
sacrifice I can offer to the interests and repose of my country, when
I pronounce-1 swear it. M. de Beth superior force cannot
destroy right; and legitimate authority is a right more precious for
the people than for the royal race that govern them. But when
force is predominant in a State, private men have only to submit,
and it becomes a duty for all good men to use their best endeavours
to prevent greater evils. It is with this idea alone that I feel myself
bound to concur with the honourable men in whom I find a desire
for the welfare of my country. These sentiments induce me to
submit, and to take the oath—l swear it. AL Bourdeau—l have
served faithfully; 1 have spoken the truth, but have not been lk-
tened to ; I deplore the misfortunes that have ensued ; I swear itl
81. Bourdeau lajudie.—l swear it.
M. de Brigode.—Yielding to the motives declared by my col-
leagues, I am ready to take the oath; but I should be goof an
explanation of the two expressions—fidelity and obedi Is
fidelity to the King other than obedience to the Charter ; or is ohs.
dimes to the Charter stronger than fidelity to the King ? Nume.l
roue Members—These two sentiments are the same. Other Metn.
bas—This is not s time for deliberation. M. de Brigode then
said, I swear it. 111. de Careelk6-1 take the oath, but subject to
the approbation of the French nation, to be expressed at the next
elections. The President—M. de Corcelles does not protest; he
only expects the approbation of the French nation. Dom he in.
tend conscientiously to take the oath ? M. de Corcelles--I swear
it. M. Duchaffault—l foretold to the Royalists in 1822, that
the ranks would soon be deserted if they were incessantly given
to idtrigue, ambition, and dishonour. My prediction has come to
sTheir ranks are deserted. I take the oath. M. Durand,
takingii n the oath, declared that he coincided in the opinion ex.
pressed by M. Bourdeau. 31. Gouthier—l swear to remain faith.
ful to the trust confided in me by my constituents. M. D'llaut-
petaL in swearing, declared that he agreed in the sentiments of M.
D'Abancoun.
M. Jaequenot Pampelune took the oath under the sentiments of
M. Becquey. General Lafoud toad the oath in the sense of M. de
Berbis. M. Letergeant—l swear, at the same time professing the
sentiments of M. d'Abancourt. M. Wormier—l heard the Ring of
the French swear without ,restriction; I also swear without re.
striation.
M. de Martignac—(profound silence.)—There are times and cis-
cumetinces in which the line of duty is difficult to be followed. I
have long reflected upon the determination which in my situation I
could form with propriety. I trust that no one in France will mss.
take the motives which have guided me. I swear it. 31. Mercier
—1 swear willingly, es I would not take any other oath. M. lies.
tidier made oath in sharing the sentiments of M. de Berbis. M. de
Montaugan-1 declare that I acknowledge the principle of legid.
mazy; but as circumstances have made necessary to dm sew as
declaring the throne vacant, to avoid foreign and Idyll eseia...l swear
it. M. Peton—Legitimacy having, by its acts arhelyilldl, chimed
its oaths, I feel myself absolved from mine. Cowsamtlt I sweet

Dl.Oaetan de la Itochefoueauld—From my seal and Meat m 4 I
declare that the changes which have taken place were tromeisey-1

Thayer. .M. Thouveoel—l sweet in the interest of my ammtey.
11. de Vatiernesnil—.l share the sentiments expressed M.
Bourdeaux. Circumstances and the love of my country compel me
to take the oath. I swan. it. The President M. Hyde fa Yet-
vilk has written to me as follows r.—'• Circurnesinses dhspi me to
renounce the honour of sitting in the Chamber. 1 beg wq farmer
colleagues to believe that to my last hour I shall oat cease to pray
that my country may be happy and free. I request jou to think
them for the marks• of interest and indulgence which I have ass.
steady received from them."
M. Delessert rose to propose the following law r—Article 1. Ito.

State, to all those who were wounded on the 26th, 27th, 28th, and,
