SALE BY AUCTION.

M the onelowlag of nations. Porkers the shade of the
Emperor Alexander—and I only mention the name elf that
Prince as it more belongs to history—would have a right to re-
proach this anel-social faction with having driven him into meentres
which deprived him of bis highest title to the love of the human
race—(Agitation.) Guided by these excitements, amid the applause
of the western aristocracies, that Prince ran Mem Trappe* to Lay
back and from Laybach to. Verona—proclaimed the dogma of
immutability, that is, the dogma of the eternal servitude of nations

As to Austria?—The consequences have been ef quite a dif.
ferent nature. The reiroyeade, or at least the stationary sys-
tem of the Austrian Cabinet, to which France itself has been
submitted, has descended to the tomb wick Alexander. That
Cabinet, which bad gloried like another Attila, the scourge
of Goo on nations, now finds itself isolated in the midst of ,
Europe--(Different movements)--disturbed by the dispositioes ef
its Italian subjects, and suspected by the greater part of the
European Governments. The Holy Alliance, as Austria had
understood and applied it, is preserved no where but in Turkey.
There is but one ally of its doctrines, the Sultan Mahnsoud--.
(Laughter nearly generab—M. Mechin " That is very trne").—
In fine, With respect to France? The results are knisern. Al the
injury has been done, and all the benefit omitted • our dangers la
Spain, our internal misery, Our degradation in Et:rope.
It has been both shameful and impatient* to have commented
a generous Christian Intervention in favour of the Greeks. And
then to leave, after several years of massacre, the glory of this com-
mencement to England and Russia. The Deputy concluded by or-
posing the demands presented to the Chamber.
The hinurma for Foaming A rvaiss—lt has beets pretended that
we have lost all exterior Importance. We hear continually of a
speech pronounced by a Minister In a neighbouring °sentry—of
pretensions of Austria to prevent several of our Generals frets
bearing titles which they received from the Chief of the Govern-
ment antecedent to the restoration ; and also of two villages lately
seised by the Prussian troops. Oar policy With respect to Por-
tugal and Spain has also been blamed. When the speech of Mr.
Canning appeared, more or lees faithfully reported in the English
Journals, the public crt)d net avoid 6614 on certain expressions
which wounded French ears; but now that the speeches of the
British Minister have been carefully reprinted—new that our
relations with great Powers have undergone no alteration, it is
impossible to understand the importance attached to these words
by louse Honourable Deputies. The question with respect to
Mettle is still more simple. It is, in feet, not whether the
French shall preserve the titles which have been conferred on
them, but whether France has a right to demand their recog-
nition by Austria? Though, previous to the Treaty of 1814,
the Court of Vienna expressed the desire of seeing withdrawn'
the titles which recalled the names of countries under its do-
minion ; in his answer, the Minister then directing Foreign
Affairs expressed the opinion that the titles not originating
in • victory ought to be laid aside. Since that time Amelia
has not ceased to express the same desire, but with its usual msolara•
don. That is the 'sign of the incident which is known by al, and
which bad beep prepared brigooranee and bad faith to deceive pub-
lic opiniou. As to the pretended violation of our territory by
..PrussiateTroops, this le de face :—The Treaty of 1815, Are. a. en
the subject of the limits with Prussia, directs that a line shall be
' drawn, and that all the countries ceded on the right of that flue stall
be all without the French dominion. But these two villages are at
the right of that line, and consequently beyond the limits of our ter.
ritory. In fact, when the provisory limitations took place after the
Treaty of 1815, the Local Authorities stated some doubt— a Major
was appointed by the Prefect of La Moselle, and at the end of every
year a Royal Ordinance fixed for every year the sum at which it
had been assessed. But the Prussian Government, on whose territory
they were_ placed, in principle really received the imposts in the
same manner as it received them in all the communes previously
attached te that territory, in the some way that we continue to re-
ceive imposts in several of the communes of the provisory di-
visions which are to return to Prussia in consequence of the defi-
nitive limitation. Bet in 1828 the inhabitants of these villages,
who had already raised some difficulties, refused to pay the impolite
to Prussia. The Government of that country, endeavoured, by
moderate measures, to remove these difficulties, and several years
passed on in this way. -At length it adopted harsh measures ; but
some arrangements have taken place. The villages which were
contested will be restored to us, not because they are out of the
limits heed by the treaties, bet as a compensation for some pro•
tensions on other territory.
" We ought to have profitted by circumstances calculated to de-
prive England of its influence in Portugal That is the phrase of
the first Deputy who mounted the Tribune. He supported his
arguments by a reference to the expiration of the term fixed in the
Treaty of 1810. He believes that it would have been easy to pro-
fit by this circumstance, to substitute a treaty uniting France with
Portugal. But this connection between England and the latter
country depends on commercial interests. England takes all, or
the greater part, of the produce of Portugal; and Portugal could
hardly find any other market. It has been pretended that the
Ministry, after leaving to Austria the benefit of occupying Naples,
had left to England the honour of its evacuation. I could not, I ac-
knowledge, elpect such an accusation, when England has been such
a stranger to that event. The facts relating to the occupation of
Naples are publicly known. What I say is, that France ought to
take, on this event, the part which becomes the rank she occupies,
and the bonds uniting her to the family which governs the Two
&cities. I ought here to answer the reproaches which are cast on
us on account of our relations with Spain. It would WM as if it
were sought to attribute to us the present misfortunes of the
invasion if its territory ; yet we merit no such reproach.--
Our relations with Spain, like all human aff.drs, have suffered sad
vicissitudes. Thus, five years only after the peace of Utrecht,
France declared was against her, and occupied N and Cata-
lonia ; but a good understanding has been re-established. Fee
more than a century Spain has shared tie greater part of our good
and bad fortunes. If our relations with Spain have not always
been advantageous to it,at least it is certain that Spain,by generous eh.
crificesbas powerfully contributed to weaken our Imes. and buena
oar success. T will pass over the events which followed the lanai= in
18041. It is known that in ISO we merited the gratitude of theSpankh
people, and re-established our ancient cennectiosh In this state of
Weirs wooW it Ist wished that we should abandon Spain from the
mere motive that it is unfeitanate No; Spain has made great
sacrifices for France--there can he no wonder that France should
sow make great sacrifices for Spain.

DI. kil'Ot lat Neverm.s—Fishavtated, as you most be, by the
length of our debates—haraseed, as you must be, by the dismal
consideration that we are upon the approach to an abyss (agitation),
and that Goo and the King alone can now save ; yielding to
these considerations asconsiderations of a higher order than those
which arise from what I see—from what I uoderstand, and from
what I know-4 have resolved to keep silence as to many partku-
late which might properly be touched upon, and to confine myself
to my views and propositions of preceding years--not in the hopes
of any success, but for the purpose of recording the law aorta, per-
baps, of an ioeffectual seal; for who knows to what point the aye.
tem which I oppose may at lath conduct us? Kings, Sir—{some
observations bad been made be e as to Kings, Nations,
dainty and Humpoity)—l commence, Gentlemen, as a Frenchman,
all a Ituyaliat, by discharging a debt of gratitede. I know not whe-
ther as it has been said, the iloly Alliance his perished with in

have good reason to lemapt its pre. ature end. Alexander wee the
