FRENCH PAPER&

PAtifs, AUGUST 6.
Yesterday Count Dupont, the War Minister, is.
sued an Order of the Day, notifying, that the part'.
cular depot established at Paris for such military per-
sons as circumstances had drawn there, had become
unnecessary, now tha; the carps ware renrganised
and the garrisons fixed. Paris never having been
considered as a place of • passage for military per-
sons, the Minister expressly prohibits the Generals
of Military Divisions in the interior, Commissaries,
and others having military authority in the depart-
ments, from permittihg single sub officers or soldiers
to pliweed to Paris, on any pretext whatever, unless
the regiments to which they bel ing are in garrisim there.
The King has issued an ordinance; directing that
Naval Officers, nnt in active service in the Ri.yal
Navy, are to apply to the Minister for the Marine and
the Colonies, for permission to be employed in the
merchant-ser vice.
In another ordinance, dated yesterday, the King
acknowledges the services performed by the National
Guards of Paris ; and directs that, on every anniver-
sary of his Majesty's entrance into Paris, these Guards
shall perform the service of the Royal Household, ttn7.
dersthe command. of Monsieur the Count d'Artois.
As a distinction, a white ribbon and blue border is
added to the aecoratinn of the lily worn by that corps,
and decorations of the Legion of Honour are granted
to the Officers

On the singular occurrence of the spectators re-
fusing to quit the Chamber of Deputies during the
debate on the Liberty of the Press, the Moniteur con-
tains the following Letter addressed to the Editor

" AUGUST S.

el Stn—You know, as well as myself, the circuits.
stance which caused the Sittirg of the Chamber of
Deputies to be adjourned this morning : it is unim-
portant in itself, but perhaps it is calculated to excite
more serious reflection than one would be disposed at
first to imagine.
" Many people saw in it merely the adjournment
of a sitting, and a delay which ptit them out of bu-
rnout : for my part, I have seen in it the Assembly
of the Representatives of the N.ition driven lions the-
body of the house which they alone ought to occupy.
by the public, whit have not a right to enter there,
and who yet refused to withdraw. It was truly a
sintilar spectacle to see the President of one of the
great bodies of the State declaring, by Thule of the
teguiations of that body, that no person had a right
,o place ttimself in the House, then sitting down to
wait till it should be cleared ; and after a fruitless
delay 01 ten minutes, adjourning the meeting, be-
cause the public did not -please to comply with the
epeated invitations of the door-keepers to obey the
regulations.
And what is the reason that the obstinacy of
thes, people, who came to listen, triumphed over the
firmness of those who were c died thither to discuss
our mast important interests? It is that the former
h.id come solely out of curiosity, and 'ware a signt ;
that 'instead of being seriously impressed with the
importance of the question which was to have been
discussed, they considered it as a mere diversion,
worth they determined not to give up ; it is that,
feeling that if they vine,' their place, they would
not find another; they hoped that by disotteying the
injunction delivered to them, they would obtain per-
mission to remain ; it is, that they chose rather a Sit-
ting should be lost, through the violation of a law,
than to withdraw upon an order that was disagreeable
to them ; it is, that nobody in France yet knows what
a law is, or CAO resolve to sacrifice a personal conve-
nience tt the obligations imposed by law.
Gi And yet it is on a people so little disposed to
observe gravity in the gravest matters, so incapable
of restraining its.whims and caprices, that some are
for conferring the unlimited liberty of the press 1 It
is said, that public opinion demands it ; doubtless
the opinion of that public who rep tired to the sitting
where it was to be discussed !—they are the public
whose opinion, it is wished, should dictate laws to
us ! Did not that public know, when they entered
the Hall, that it was their duty to conform to the
obligations there adopted and observed ? These were
.read to them, 'and they were required to obey ; but
they all continued looking at each other, as much as
to say—' Let us remain, if possible ; they will tire
of ordering us out.'
_ _ _ _ _

66 The Assembly conducted itself with great wis-
dom ; it did not give way, it broke up; perhaps with
a little more firmness, it would have obtained sr,lat
it was entitled to enforce ; perhaps this firmness was
the thing necessary ; but the Assembly still did
great deal by remaining faithful to its rules.
" The regulation of the House is of high impor.
lance, and this morning the effects of its violation
were already seen. The strangers who had intro.
duced themselves into the body of the House, mingled
among the Deputies, gave tneir opnuons belore the
opening of the Sitting, on the subject of the d.scus.
sills which should have taken place, and sought to
exemise an improper influence over them. Or this
influence the Assembly, with all wise men, ought to
be extremely jealuus: we are acquainted with its
effects : we know what mere ii.urmurs, what brief
insinuations are capable of producing ; the prudence
of the framers of the regulations wove to prevent
the influence of the galleries, fornier.y so disassous,
by enjoining silence to strangers, b) tortudding them
to enter the enclosures ; but if any ot the barriers be
broken down, the others will not long be respected.
" We French seem always disposed to encroach ;
the laws inspire us less with respect, titan with a wish
to escape their influence ; grave considerations ot pub.
lie order affect us little : the passion of the moment
always.pre.iccupies us: we cannot divest ourselves of
a certain vain glorious personality, which prevents us
from sacrificing our own wishes with a good grace. to

• to withdraw, as a piece of real unpolitenessi with
which he had a right to be offended. it cannot be
denied that every thing wlticti terms a theatrical scene
is injurious to the dignity of t!tc Chamber. In Eng-
land a single constable with his staff disperses a•
crowd, and preserves order among a great concourse
of people : he 'Speaks, and all are silent ; he corn--
mands, and they retire. This morning all the door-
keepers of the House idly conwromised their autho-
rity ; a great number of persons refused to obey, and
of those who did withdraw, most returned and re-
sumed their places as soln as the officer had retired.
44 This circumstance is in itself of little importance;
but it serves to illustrate national dispositions and
habits, and affords matter tor vet y serious reflection.
We possess a free Government—such a Government
as all enlightened nations must desire and obtain,',
sooner or later ; but a free Government cannot he
Maintained but by submission to the laws. Under
the empire of despotic power, force is always at hand
to compel obedience ; but under the reign of attem-
pered liberty, obedience ought most frequently to be
voluntary ; and a people that know not how to obey
of its own accord, proves that it requires to be forced
into compliance.
46 Let us learn, then, to respect the laws, even the
tnbst minute ; that the look alone of legitimate au-
. thotity should forthwith cause all resistance to dis-
appear; let us cease endeavouring to elude, by ob-
stinacy or address, orders which we have no right to
contest; then may we loudly demand privileges with
which we may be indulged without fear. I demand
of the Assembly which conducted itself with so much
Wisdom, whether that public who this morning chew-
ed themselves so unreflecting, so disrespectful, so in.
tractable, could be exposed without danger to the in-
fluence of the first imprudent or dangerous writing?
64 I am, &c."
