PARIS, MAY b.
REPORT TO THE KING.

Si an—The commission of national recompenses is on the
eve of closing the lists, which it has established conform-
ably to the law of the 13th of December, 1830, in that
which concerns the decoration and the medal instituted by
that law. Already, it has addressed to me the lists of the
citizens which it has designed to receive the special decors.
tion. These lists contain the names of the citizens who took
an active part in that glorious resistance of which Paris was
the theatre during the last days of July. All the services
have been appreciated, all the rights have been recog-
nised. Peers, Deputies, Magistrates, writers, citizen-
soldiers—their names are all mixed and confounded in
these honourable lists, as they are in the expressions of
the national gratitude. The first comprehends the names
of the Frenchmen whom the commission of recompenses
has judged worthy of being decorated with the Cross of
July.
The second, which the commission has not yet definitely
ordered, will contain those of the citizens who shall have
merited to receive the medal. I shall have the honour to
submit immediately for the approbation of your Majesty, the
whole of this task, which at present concerns only the de-
partment of the Seine, and to take orders upon the day
when it will be judged convenient to fix for the solemn dis-
tribution of the crosses and the medals. I will place, at a
later period, before your Majesty, the list which will be
relative to the other departments of France as well u the ta-
ble of the pensions and definitive succours. In the interim your
Majesty is desired to regulate that which relates to the
forms of the cross of July. Such is the object of the pro-
ject of the Ordonnance which I have the honour to submit.
Sire, your Majesty is impatient to acquit towards tbe popu-
lation of Paris, towards the whole of France, the debt of
the country; the nation partakes that impatience. I have
the honour of proposing to your Majesty to decide that the
solemnity of the delivering the crosses and medals, into the
hands of the citizens who have merited them, may take
place in your presence, at the Hotel des Invalides, in the
midst of the memorials and trophies of French Glory.
I am, with profound respect, Sire, of your Majesty,
The very humble, very obedient, and very faithful subject,

of State for the Department of the Interior.

TII E PRINCE CA R ICI N•N .—Goverament has received
this night the intelligence that the Prince of Carignan has
been proclaimed King of Sardinia, and succeeds Charles.
Felix.— Courrier Francais.

Charles-Felix of Savoy was born on the 13th of February,
1765: he has completed his 76th year. From the precise
stipulations of the Congress of Vienna, the branch of Savoy-
Carignan is called to succeed him. Charles-Am4d4e-Albert,
Prince of Carignan, the eldest of that branch, becomes King
of Sardinia. He is still a young Prince, for he was born on
the 20th of October, 1798. It is said that he leans towards
France, and possesses liberal ideas. Upon this point, we
have been so often deceived before the accession to the
throne, that we shall wait the works of the new King.
The Kingdom much interests France.
It is a state intermediate between us and Austria.
Charles Felix was at the devotion of M. Metternich ; at
every moment we were threatened to see the fortresses of
Piedmont occupied by the Austrians; the transmission of
the throne to the Prince of Carignan may perhaps be favour.
able to us, if we know how to profit by it We know that
for a long time intrigues have surrounded the Prince of
Carignan. Austria wishes to exercise over him that domi-
nion which she exercises already in all parts of Italy. Our
diplomacy is so suppliant, it offers so little support
to those who invoke it, that the Prince of Carignan will pro.
bably throw himself into the arms of M. Metternich, for he
will not believe in our strength, or our will to support him,
when he sees Austria freely invade the Grand Duchy of
Modena and the Roman States, without France making the
least demonstration. We hope that our Ambassador at
Turin, a man of intelligence and capacity, will understand
his new position, and will not be ruled by that policy which
raises altars to fear !—Courrier Francais.
