TIM PRESIDENT TO Y. DE CHANTILAIME.

Have you any knowledge of the orders relating to the ordinances, and
from whom they emanated ?—This is a subject upon which I respect-
fully state I must hold silence.
Was not your entrance into office dependent on the indispensable
condition of 31. Peyronnet's entrance ?—Yes, it was. 1 avow, that all
my efforts were directed to the support of the King's measures, and the
electoral ones, but I deprived no man of his situation, and I used no
threats for that purpose.
Who was the author of the ordinance relative to the press P—l
cannot answer that question.
Did you not hear of the protestation of the members, and of its
insertion in the journals ?—I had no cognisance of this circumstance
until informed of it by the Procureur du Koi.
Did you not take measures against the assemblage of the people ?
I No ; it was not my province to do so.
You knew Paris to be in a state of siege ?—Yes.
Who caused that measure ?—The order of circumstances.

The business of the day was then closing with M. Ouernon de Ren-
ville's examination. The neighbourhood of the Luxembourg was per.
feedy tranquil.
The forms of the French law are extremely tedious. The Interroga.
tortes of the prisoners, as well as their answers, as fu as they have gene
this day, corresponded with those already published. Poltgnac rallied
a good deal while delivering his .interrogatories. He held in him band
the printed book of the depositions, published by the House of Peers,
and the President interrogated him from the original manuscript from
which the publication was made.

" The Journal du Comments of this morning says, It is awned,
that after a very animated discussion in the Council of Ministers, cou-
riers were despatched to the French Ambassadors at Berlin, Vienna, and
Leodon, with instructions to declare to the three Powers, that in case
Prussia or Austria should join Russia in endeavouring to reduce Poland
to subjection, Francs would consider such intervention as a declara-
tion of war.'

" The King of Holland is said to have refetred the delicate questions
connected with the state of Belgium, and particularly that connected
with the navigation of the Scheldt, to the decisions that may be pro.
flounced in the conferences at London. This would be a great step
towards the maintenance of peace.
" 111. Van dm Weyer, a member of the Provisional Government of
Belgium, is expected hourly at Paris.
' The Threes, which left off last night at bBf. 26c.:were Ioc. better
before the opening, and at a quarter past two had, without any
able cause, fallen to b7f. Never was a movement so sodden, :est
d
from 58f. to 57f. in leas than one minute. They afterwards
slowly d
yerecovered, and at half -pest 3 rose to Inf• Mc. But the Bear
party, always headed by Guertin, is far from relasiagja his disastrous
efforts, and nothing short of the quotation of foOG will, it is said, sa-
tisfyi The news was, howevcr altegetirr ether a cheer-
ing nature ; tha only gloom still tasting its shade being angled by tba
trial of the ex- Ministers, which continues to give rise to the meet
alarming reports In the seam of a mild judgment. It is whispered that
the students of both the Basle de Dreit midi the Beek de Medals*
are determined to pat their threats into mumatiso, and to favour as at-

tack on the Luxembourg, by setting Are to some of the neighbouring
houses. But this is too bad to deserve credit.
" The closing price of the Threes was 58f. 6k; but the Condi:se
immediaely worked a fresh fall, and no doubt at half•past 4 the price
will be full 20c. lower."
