0 Different impireant amendments have, however,
boa proposed in die Chamber .of Deputies. With-
out forgetting the respect dasto an assembly, whose
intentions, well.known, could not be more pure, we
think that as the Projet is still susceptible of Modifi-
cations, it should be permitted to discuss it even in a
Journal s it is one of the most precious advancer
of the Representative Government which• the v
has given use
•I

"These amendments consist, principally, in ex-
cepting from the Amnesty, besides the names enrol-
led in the Ordinance of the .24th of July, some other
classes of individuals, designated by the rank or em-
ployment they occhpied, or by the nature of the crime
of which they had been guilty—to empower the
royal treasury to exact indemnities from the con.
demned ; and to extend the measure of perpetual ex-
clusion from the kingdom to those of the regicides
who served the Usurper since his return, or voted for
the Ado rtaitionel.
" On considering the ordinary rules only, it would
not be difficult to demonstrate the justice of these
exceptions ; but it cannot be ton often repeated, that
in times of revolutions, after long political convul-
sions,. when few are found wholly exempt front re-
proach, that it is not possible to listen always to jtl;
Resible justice., .
44, We will add nothing to what we have already
said on the danger of extending the list prepared by
the King's order, and which w re formally declared
closed—we will only observe that, without designat-
ing personally any other individuils for punishment,
the object proposed by the first amendment is the
same, although it purports to attack crimes, not men.
Much inconvenience likewise exists in the measure,
relative to the indemnities to be paid by the con-
demned into the public treasure.
44 It is not to be doubted, that the peat criminals
ought to support a very considerable part of the im-
mense load that they have brought on us ; but every
thing must yield to principles. The Charter having
abolished confiscation, could the King's Ministers
reproduce it under another name ? Let us deplore
the misfortunes attached to our situation, while we
preserve this character of good faith, which was our
fairest title to glory in ancient times, and which it was
worthy the Bourbons to revive in the midst of a ow-
rupted age.
" As for the men who, in contempt of a clemency
without bands, accepted employments from the
Usurper, and by that proved themselves the irrecon-
cileable enemies of France and legitimate Govern.
ment, their audacity and ingratitude merited its
proper chastisement—far be it ftom our thoughts to
deny it ! We, however, feel ourselves once more
compeiled to invoke other principles than those of
absolute justice. These men are great criminals,
hut were they nut so ill 1814 ? Was their first crime
b;.yond the reach of a humane pardon ? The King
having his eyes tiled on the immortal will of his
brother, pardoned them. More interested than any
other to revenge the blood of his brother, he imitated
his divine goodness. Let us avoid assuming the
initiative in an act which affects so nearly the highest
prerogative of the Sovereign. Who would dare, ac.
cording to the Wappy expression which fell from the
lips of a distinguished orator, to place himself be-
tween the Mini•ir:h and the guilty, to intercept Mt
Royal pardon I"

We are still without any account of what has be-
come of Lavalette. The very affecting heroism of
Madame Lavalette, who, to save his life, endangered
her own, is the theme of universal admiration, and
has excited for him in all ranks of society a sympathy
of which he was otherwise unworthy. What a noble
instance it is of the great services which female: can
perform for the objects of their regard. Perhaps
some of our readers will, on Valentine's Day, have
to thank onoeher female for Sterling favours of a diffe-
rent kind—we mean Lady Fortune, who will reward
her favourites very soon with Two Prizes of Twenty-
five Thousand Golden Guineas Two . more of.
Twenty Thousand Pounds, &c. &c. the whole of which
must fall to the present. purchasers of Tickets, and
there are not Two Blanks to a Prise. •

A German Paper says, that the individuals com-
prised in the Ordinance of the fLtth July, and who
may, according to arrangements with the Allied So-
vereigns, be permittcd to cuter their States, will have
only permission to reside in certain parts, viz. Those
who retire to Austria, will be sent to Bavaria ; to
Russia, in the-Meridional Province, near Moscow ;
and to Prussia, in Silesia. These arrangements are ex-
tremely politic, and must give satisfaction to every one.

General Debelle will be tried before General
Drouot ; the trial of the forma commences en the
2Jth instant.
M. Fouche, Duke d'Orrant:, was, still at Dresden
on the '24th ult. The news of his dismissal is fully
confirmed !

The report of M. I.avalette having been seen to
•isit a distinguished Officer at Brussels, is wholly un-
founded.

Sixteen decorations of the Legion of Honour have
been distributed amongst the Officers of each Legion
of the National Gu.►rds of Paris, in consequence of
their excellent conduct.

On Twt:11111-day the whole of the Royal Fans;ly in

agreeable runner.
Sunday morning part of the National Guard, and

His Majesty yesterday rode out at his usual hour:
we have noticed that his Majesty is now escurt.d by
nearly double the number of troops; formerly the
Guards du Chirps did that service only.

PARIS, JANUARY e.
At length the Sittings of the Chamber upon the
Law of Amnesty have terminated, and the Law is
adopted with the amendments, as given in one of our
former Numbers. We have not observed any new
arguments produced by the orators during the whole
debate; a few general opinions were all that were
produced, and a long train of compliments to his Ma-
jesty, and sentiments of devotion to the Royal cause.
Pray Heaven that the conduct of the Deputies may
accord with their expressions! France and her King
will then be happy, Europelwill long remain at peace,
and this great nation will recover from the shocks she
has received by her late convulsions.
It is remarkable that the votes of the Conventional*
which condemned the unfortunate Louis XVI. to the
Icaffold were 366, and the Chamber of Deputies by
966 voices has condemned, on the day of the King's
fete, all the Regicides to banishment. Theirit body
.was composed of rarmadorter, the last of the richest and
most learned men of the country. What a contrast;
how terrible to the guilty mind 1 and how proudly
hOtourable to the just one !
*The Marquis de Saisseval has received permission
to enter the King's private cabinet at pleasure.
• A polytechinc school is about to be founded at
Tatum by order of the Emperor of Austria, ups., •
similar plan as the establishment in Paris. His Ma
jesty has ordered a sum of 8000 florins to defray the
caprices.
The Grand Mute of Tuscany has issued an Ordi-
nance, prohibiting mEndicity in his States ;—we hops
at the same time he will prevent the cause of it..
Perhaps be is charitable.
- The epoch• for opening the Congress of Frankfort
is not yet pesisively fixed. •
