CHAMBER OF PEERS.

PARIS, Auca. 12.

At eight o'clock in the evening the great deputation of
the Chamber of Peers came to the Palais Royal to pre-
sent to his Majesty the address of the Chamber, (which
was agreed to yesterday by a majority of 81 votes to 1.)
Baron Pasquier, the President, spoke as follows:
" Slat —Your faithful subjects, the Peers of France, still pene-
trated by the great events which have just passed, appear before
your Majesty to thank you for your attachment to France. A una-
nimous voice proclaims that your accession to the Throne could
alone secure the public happiness. It is only under your reign that
we can enjoy in peace those liberties which have been so heroically
defended. To be indispensable to a great people who acknowledge
freely and calmly this necessity, what title was ever more noble and
more true ? Had Providence ever a language more manifest?
" This contract which you have entered into with France,
this oath pronounced by name and by honour, are engagements wor-
thy at the same time of the Prince who enters into them and of the
nation that rea-ives them.
" Our oaths tso have not been dictated by an improvident enthu-
siasm, or a blind sentiment. We swear fidelity to you with the
profound conviction that we are performing a sacred duty to our
country.
" Now that the solemn act is accomplished, France is going to re.
turn to the regular course of legal existence. It was to defend its
laws that it tool up arms, it is that it may no more have recourse
to force to maintain them that it has established new guarantees.
Peace at home and abroad, public order, the free developement of
talent and industry—such has been the object of ha efforts, such
ought to be the reward of its victory.
The Chamber of Peers will be eager to concur in the labours
which are to improve our legislation and ensure our prosperity. Its
efforts, which have more than once been successful in contributing to
the public good, have too often been confined to checking or to alle-
viating evil. At present a noble career is opened before it. Your Ma-
jesty has no other thought than the happiness of France. This will
be the principle of an unalterable union between the King and the
Chambers."

The King replied—
" My LORDS,i am happy to hear you declare that the fidelity
which you have sworn to me is founded on the profound conviction
that you are performing a sacred duty to your country. It is this
same conviction which has been the rule of my conduct, and I also
tilt that I was obeying this sacred duty, in tearing myself from the
peaceful habits which were the charm of my life, to devote myself
entirely to what the country required of me. I have yielded to the
national will, with the firm resolution to fulfil all my obligations
to consolidate peace at home and abroad, and to secure the reign of
the laws. 1 depend upon yo;roellal and sincere co-opeiation to fa-
cilitate the task which is imposed upon me ; and I receive, with
lively satisfaction, the expression of your sentiments towards me."
CHARLES X.

PARIS, Ave. 13.

It is said this evening that Charles X. has at length
embarked. He wished to stop at the island of Jersey ;
but the Commissioners opposed this. It is said that he
thinks to retire to Saxony, and to pass through Ham-
burgh. This, at least, was the report spread in the Sa-
loon of the Ambassador of Austria. It is affirmed that
on the road he had resumed his fowling-piece, and
amused himself with shooting sparrows.
About one hundred persons had desired to embark
with him: but as the two ships intended for him could
not contain them all, it was found necessary to give him
a third, with which he must now be on his way.—
