CHAMBER OF DEPUTIF.S.
urriNu uP THZ 6TH NY JANUARY.

The PRESIDENT called the attention of "the Cham•
ber to the Order of the Day for continuing the tie.
bate of the Law of Elections. The first and second
Articles having been adopted, the Chamber was then
to deliberate on the third. which he should read.—
The Article sets forth, that the political domicile of ,
every Frenchman is in that Department in which he
_dwells. Nevertheless he may remove to any other
Department, where he shall pay direct contributions,
making a declaration to that effect six months pre-
viously, to the Prefect of the Department he is about
to quit; and to the Prefect of that in which he is
about to reside. In this article the Commission made
an amendment, by substituting Lod Tax instead of
Direct Tames, and also added a provision to the fol.,
lowing effect :—Toat the transferring of the domicile
shall not give a man the power to exercise any poli-
tical or civil right, which. during/&K years before,
he could not have exercised in the other Depart-
ment. This exception, holuever. was not to take
place in case of a dissolution of the Chamber, be-
cause then all the Electors of the kingdom would be
called on to vote at once.

M. Jouvar opposed both these Amendments ;
which were supputted by M.M...—RnVIIDEAUandLIZET.
The Amendments were at last adopted, with the
*lteration of four years in the room of five.
Ait. 4, Relative to voting in two Departments,
was adopted without opposition.
An. 5, which is purely of a regulative natdte„
wit adopted in the form drawn up by the Ministry ;
netv form proposed by the Committee was rejected.
The same took place with 'respect to the 6th Ar.,
gide ; the idioistiVial form was adopted.

The Bureaux then declared, that the previous ques-

The Chamber then declared, that there was no
ground for deliberating on the question.
When the names of the Deputies were called over,
it was observed that ail the Anti-Ministerialists were
present, and that about 12 Ministerialists were absent.
Article 7 was put to the vote and adop%d. The
Ministers have thus completely gained their point.
Previoes to the commencement of the Debate, the
Reporter of the Committee of Petitions was heard :
he gave the analysis-of several Petitions.
An individual requested that the old coin should
resume its former value. The Order of the Day was
adopted. Another Petitioner requested that the Cer-
tificates of Nobility, which had been lost dating the
Revolution, should be re-issued.. The Chamber

ALOHIERI, DECEMBER. iT. •

LITTER FROM TILLEY/14ND TO LORD
CASTLEREAGH.
•
' PARIS,.DECEMBER a Ism
Mr, Loan—An article inserted in the Cerrier
of the nth of November, represents me as hold-
ing, et the house of Sir Charles Stuart. in his pre-
sence and at his table, such language as I never held,
and never could hold at the house of the English Am-
bassador. without forgetting two things which it is not
in niy power to forget, and a third which I shall endea-
vour never to forget. The first is the respect which
I owe and which I leel towards the Ling ; the second,
the respect which is due to the public and private
character of Sir Charles Stuart ; and the third, the
respect which I owe to myself.
48 If the anthots of this article had put their names
to it, the antidote would have been found at the side
of the poison. But, on the one hand they have,
by writing anonymously, given to the calumny the
credit which their names would have taken from it ;
on the other hand, they have, like practised slanderers,
coonected their falsehoods with some circumstances
which are true ; and, to increase the delusion, they
have circulated their story at a distance, and in foreign
journals.
44 Such, my Lord, is the cause which makes me
think it proper to put in their true light those facts
which they have disguised ; and to answer, by a pe-
remptory negative, both their assertions and their in-
sinuations, which are equally false. I have also
another motive : it is the value which I set upon the
()Onion of such a man as yourself, and upon the opi-
nion of the people of England.
4' If it had ever occurred to me to speak of the
losses which the Kevolution inflicted on one of the
Ministers of the King, I should not have spoken of
them otherwise than as of a calamity which most of
the members of my family had experienced as well
as him ,• and I should probablylihave added, what I
really think, that this calamity, though irreparable,
is not less grievous to the State itself than to those
individuals who endured it.
14 It is very true, that I was intrusted with that
`commission of which the 'article speaks; it is very
true, this I was proud of it ; it is very true that I
consider it as one of the finest titles which I could be-
queath to my family. But I never made a boastful
parade of it ; I never made the public my confident;
I never displayed it but to a very few persons, and
those Frenchmen, with the exception of M. Pono di-
Borgo. The making this a pretest to insinuate that
I wish to take away from the Allied Sovereigns, and
especially from the French people, the glory which
belongs to them for the share which they respectively
had in the work of the restoration, and to appropriate
this glory to myself, shews doubtless great mischie-
vousness of intention, but at the same time great
Want of address. When it is wished to calumniate
a man, acts of misconduct which are credible ought
alone to be ascribed to him. I take a pride in think-
ing, however, that it will appear credible to nobody,
that I .am capable of a vanity so foolish. With all
their insinuations as to my pretended ambition, they
only betray their own. When I wished for power,
it was fur an object which was attained in 1814 and
1813. Since then, there remained nothing else for
inyself to desire but repose. "l'hat is a benefit which
I think I have merited. Mty these Gentlemen
merit it in their turn I have just enjoyed it for
seven months in the country, whither l shall hasten
to return to enjoy it again.
44 Alter dinner at Sir Chat ;es Stuart's, the greater
part of the persons who were present having gone,
the Ambassador being in a room adjoining the draw-
ing-room, his Lady it: the billiard-roont with the
Lady of the Neapolitan Ambassador, there remained
only six persons who had called for their carriages.
We were waiting for them in a recess by the side of
the dour ; it was there that a conversation took place
which lasted four minutes at the most, and in she
course at which I was naturally led to remark, that
difference of functions produced a similar difference
of rank among the Ministers ; that ere order accor-
ding to which each of them was more or less fit for
te;rming a principal and habitual centre of relations
between the Ministers, collectively taken, and the
Members of the two Chambers, taken individually,
was by no means arbitrary; that it was fixed by their
ifespective functions ; and that, for the sake of utility
.as well as decorum, it was greatly to be wished that
the natural order should never be broken in upon. I
expressed this idea in different ways ; only speaking
of the Ministries, not Ministers ; the name of no one
, was mentioned.
64 This was precisely the whole of my share in a
conversation, which would have been forgotten the
next moment, like so many others, had the tunctioes
which my interlocutor previously filled been as far
from his memory as they were from mine at the mo-
ment when I was speaking. Out of the five persons
who were present with us, there are four who are
sat-
ached to me by the ties of blued and old friendship,
'and whose testimony I will not therefore appeal to.
I appeal to that of Mr. Tierney ; it must be suffi-
cient : his personal character, and his return to Eng-
land, induce Ise to do so. lam certain hr will tes-
tify, that in this conversation of a few muumuus li
said nothing more, and nothing that could bear o 1
.meaning different from what I have now stated. He
will only add, that all this passed in the lone of .the
most ordinal,' conversation, and, at least on my
part, with the indifference of a man who is waiting
for his carriage.
o Such, my Lord, is the truth, which it is of im-
portance to we to communicate to you.
4, Accept, my Lord, the new assurance of my
high Consideration.
