The' nuance (for dissolving the Chamber of I
Deputies) formta new monument of the wisdom of
his' Majesty, and of his•enlightened love for his peo-
ple. In tLeeyes of every true friend of the Monarchy
the Constitutional Charter is the. Holy Ark which
ought not to be touched, but with a religious respect.
It was not, therefore, without a secret disquietude
that all good men saw proposed a revision of a pan
of the Charter before the lessons of time and expo.
rience indiCated the necessity. How many sources of
discord would not such a measure have opened to the
remnants of the parties by which we have been too
loog assailed! What aliment to scarcely extinguished
hatreds and to foolish hopes!
The wishes et an immense majority of the nation it
became easy for an attentive Monarch to consult.
and the clamours of a few irdividuals could riot con.
eeal them from him. The King and Fiance heard
them. Innovations enough have tormented fur 25
years our unfortunate country. Let us preserve what

It was reserved to our wise Monarch to give to Eu-
rope a great example—that of a King who, in con-
sulting the wishes and the wants of his people, dues
not hesitate to retract his own decisions, and who, in
legislating for Frenchmen, imposes on himself a su.
preme law—that of their happiness. •
The two Censors of the Parisian Journals, the,
Cosoisaoolsad and La Qiielidsosas, -have been both de-
prived of their functions ; the former for having suf-
fered the insertion of an article, declaring that Petion
denied all disposition tb acknowledge the Mother
Country and the Sovereignty of the Bourbons, but
en the contrary declaimed loudly against the acts of
the Princes of that family, and invited all South
America to form a cordial league agiinst them: the.
latter, has fallen into disgrace for the indifferent
spirit in which the Journal he superintended. Le Quo-
latrine, is composed. It is not a little singular that
he should be succeeded in his office by M. hfutine.
