nwa:e the execution of Projects they have so often
a • so indi,:ereetly announced. These Projects are
rh u. d and impossible. They are irresistibly repulsed
the king, and by the interests of his dynasty, by
t Charter, his works and by the state of society.
Tl-.2se Journals, doubtless, arc not the exact expres-
ef the opinions of their party. In the present
2:tx•chy of opinion, what party would choose to be
~,,y-Tscated' by its Journals ? We may affirm, that
rnen who would commit this fault would render
tl:emselves equally incapable of laying hold of power,
or lenJing it assistance. On every supposition, the
KH,'s Government can only triumph by the
rut, siirpov: of the National interests, add by the
unien of all the men who desire the King and the
Charter ; the legitimate dynasty, and New France.
Ucre it will find strength against the factions. At
rate it will be able to check the parties, without

ifs Majesty hura Mass in his apartments.

M.,nsieur has received to-day visits of condolence.
Tho Duke :ind Duchess of Angouleme, with the
Da!: Duche,s of Orleans, have been at St. Cloud.
are a,sured, that the state of the Duchess de;
lle;Ti ;1; beconiing mote and more satisfactory. She
arrears tranquil. The abundant tears which flow
.An her cycs relieve instead of oppressing her; and
solle submits with admirable gentleness and simplicity
to the affectionate c6unsels of friendship, to the con•
ruling rrecepts of reli,;ion. The apartment in which
this tdr.fo:tunate Princess reposes is also her chapel.
she has prepared an altar—there, every morn•
a:-:!idst all the usual appendages of worship and
• f mourning, a Priest comes and celebrates the holy
M: c. The Duchess of Berry mingles her prayers
tho-.e of the Minister of Religion, implores for
the soul of her husband that happiness which the
earth coald not give.
The l':incess has from her sight all or-
narts suited to her rank, even. those which she
owed to the tenderness of 11.!r husband. The walls
of Ler eh imber, her bed, her garments, are all im-
rressed with the signs of mourning. She shuts her-
scii. up in this sort of living tomb, a mourcful and
conformity which she wishes to preselve ith the
I'. ince, who is the ot.ject of her eternal regret. •

Invisible to all others, she holds communi.zation
cr,ly with the members of her family.' Madame the
Duche,s of Angculeme, passes in company with her
sister :dl that part of the day which her duties leave
at her L:isposal.
Ycserciav, at two o'clock, the Duke of Orleans,
representing the King, went is one of his 'Majesty's
voitures, iu grand procesion, to the Louvre, to
s;»inkle holy water, in his name, upon the coffin of
the Duke of Berry. The same ceremony was after-
wards performed by the :klarshals, the Staffs of the
troops in garrison, and the Officers of the Royal
Guards. It is remarked, that the body of the Duke
is laid in the same chamber in which that a Henry
IV. was laid.

It is said, that a Priest of Notre Dame having gone
to offer to Louvel the consolations of religion, and
having endeavoured to inspire him with repentance
of his crime, the wretch repulsed him with invectives.
The Ex-Conventionalist Cambon, so well known
by his Iteport on the Law which established the
CI-eat Book of the Public Debt, has departed this
life, at a village near Brussels.

CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.
SITTING OF SATURDAY, 19TH FEBRUARY.

The PRESIDINT stated. that the special object of
the present Meeting of the Chambers would be
found indicated in the following letters :

" PARIS, FEE. 17, 1820.

" MR. PittsmuNT—The King, to whom I have submitted
the desire of the Chamber of Deputies (to attend tke funeral of
tholate Duke de Berri), which you communicated tome in your
letter of this day, received it with sensibility. Ills Majesty
charged me to make known to you that the Members of tliv
Chamber who do not make part of the Grand Deputation, and
who wish to join it, are at liberty to do so. The Grand Master
o: the Ceremonies, to whorh it will be proper fur you to ad-
irsis yourself, will inform you of the hour which may be fixed,
acrd will furnish you with such instructions as may be necessary
LI your guidance.—Accept, &c. (Signed)

" Count DECAZES."

The next Letter read was from the Grand Master
cf. the Ceremonies, in answer to one from the Pre-
si communicating the information required.
Alter the reading of these two Letters, the Pre,ri-
dent drew, by ballot, the names of the Members
rho are to compose the Grand Deputation.
The Chamber then rose, without any fixed ad-
rment.

EXTRACT FROM A PRIVATE LETTER.

" PARIS, Fi:Eltl".% RV 19.

7-e. alarm spread through Paris was almoit in-
gAntaneous. Although his Royal Highness did not
E;;•iv: until between six and seven o'clock on Monday
there was not a pare of the City or Paa-
•r ;sin which it was not known before eight. The
concternation was at its height at twelve. In
everi gaarter, at the corner and iu the middle of
st:ect, hundreds might be seen huddled
with dejected countenances, and communicating
!t:ill-,tiRed sounds and low whispers. The French
6.4ract,lr had lost all its vivacity. Before the Louvre,
i;her tae bleeding remains had been conveyed, the
T.:-oup Iva* immense, and reached quite close, in a
c •,npact body, to the Pont des Arts.

•`Tic alarm spread ainorg ea* visiting foreigners,

and more particularly the English, was taisei to an
extraordinary degree before the afternoon. Hundreds
left Paris, principally for the nearest line of the
northern frontiers, before five o'clock, and hundreds
more were, in consequence of the want of horscs, de-
tained until the following day.
" The negligence of the Police on this affecting
occasion is the subject of universal reprobation. To
avert the blow of the determined and lurking assassin
must at all times require singular vigilance and pre-
caution, but it is remarked with the commingled
feelrogs of astonishment, sorrow, and -indignation,
(tat not a single Officer belonging to the Police was
in attendance on the Prince. The only person at
I hand to give assistance was in fact the sentinel posted.
on the opposite side of the street, and between him
and the assassin was the carriage of his Royal High-
ness. The activity of the Police, or rather of the,
Home Department, for they are now united, has been
revived with extraordinary vigour. Half of the Imi.
gales on service for thirty miles round the capital,
were immediately ordered to Paris, the-numbers of
the customary' stations were increased, new posts
were formed, and the patroles both of horse and foot
have been kept in constant movement, particularly
during the evenings and nights. The measures of,
Government have been all of the same nature. The
Royal Guards were all kept in quarters to be in
readiness at an instant's notice. The Prefects, Go.
vernors of Places, and Colonels of Legions or Regi-
ments, have been all ordered to leave Paris, and the
passports of 1816 have been revived, and are hence-
forth to be rigorously enforced.
" Lourel's Proves is continued with increasing ac-
' tivity, and it is now understood that his trial before •
the Chamber of Peers will commence on Monday.'
His third, and probably last examination by the Pre-
sident of the Court of Cassationohe President of the
Royal Court of Lyons, and the Attorney-General,
I3ellart, took place yesterday. All the witnesses will
be finally heard in the Cabinet de Justice of -the
Luxembourg, and the documents are expected to he'
completed in the course of this day. The assassin
preserves the same determined and gloomy counte-
nance, and professes the same sentiments which have
lailen from him during all his former examinations.
Although the strictest search has been made in his
lodging. Rue St. Thomas, at his sister's, Rue IsTeuve
Sainte Croix, and his aunt's, at Versailles, not the
slightest discovery has been made that might indi-
cate his horrible intention, or expose the state of his
mind."

It will be seen by our Parliamentary Report, that
the provisional measures required to fill'up the in-
terval between the demise of the late KING and the
meeting of the new Parliament are rapidly advancing.
The business before the House of Commons will, it is
understood, be completed this evening, when the
House will, it is said, be adjourned until Friday. In
the meantime the House of Lords will have com-
pleted their part of the public duty, and on Friday
the Royal Assent will be given by Commission to
the Provisional Bills. Both Houses will then adjourn,
and in Saturday night's Gazette will prrobably be in-
serted the KING'S Proclamation, dissolving the pre-
sent, and at the same time calling another Parliament.

K 1 NG, and delivered his Key of Office, as Comptroller j
of the Household on the Windsor Establishment to
his lase Majesty, when his MAJESTY was graciously
pleased to continne the privilege of the entree to the
.\oble Earl.
The Duchess of K'ENT received the Address of
Condolence from Viscount MORPETII and the Depu-
tation of the House of Commons, with her infant

General '[Toone, Gen. WETHERELL, Colonel DRINK-
WATER, and Dr. WILSON. The Duchess received the
Addresses in her drawing-room in the King's Palace,
at Keasing ton.
The following is an exact copy of the interesting
retarned by this Illustrious Mourner, to the
Address of Condolence which was presented to her
from the l-fouse of Commons, by Lord Monrern :

" I am v;ry sensible of the Lehags which have induced the
House of Commons to condole with me on the calamitous and
untimely cleat:: of his Lite Royal Highness the Duke of KENT;
and I request that ;hey will accept rny grateful acknowledg7
meats far thLir Messay, as it sliewe me that my helovcd hus-
band's memory %via be p:eserved in this country, now, I am
proud to say, become cane; by affection and inclination, as well
as from my connexion with it by marriage to a most amiable
and ei.ceittnt Prir.ce, whose loss is to me irrevari,:-le.-

Extract of a Letter from Buenos Ayres, dated the
14th of November :—" I have just received advice
from Monte-Video, that ARTIGAS, assisted by CDR.-
RERA, late Director of Chili, is, at the head of 3000
men, on his march against Buenos-Ayres, and has
cut off all communication between that City, Peru,
and Chili. The markets are dreadfully bad, and
hides scarce ; a carp of flour could be put off
promptly just now at fli to 9."
It appears that the Theatres in Paris have been
requited to furnish an account of the losses sustained
during the time they have been closed, for the pur-
pose of having the proprietors indemnified.
COVENT-GARDEN.—A very lively Farce, entitled
" Too late fir Dinner," was performed for, the first
time last night, and received with great applause.—
The plot is chiefly intended to exhibit the adventures
of a thoughtless young rake, named Frank Poppleton
(Mr. JoNEs), who falls violently in love with Emma
&Merton (Miss Boon) at first sight, and after beat-
ing the watch, escaping from the watch-house, taking
refuge in the house where Emma resides, alarming
the fainily, escaping again, and nearly ruining the ,
prospects of his brother, Frederick Poppletan (Mr.l
CONNOR), with another young lady, into whose house
he also introduces himself in another whim, he is
eventually married to Emma, and reclaimed all at
once by the moral influence of matrimony. The ad-
ventures of the young rake are considerably heighten-
ed, as to their ludicrous effect, by the sober and
timid-character of the brother, for whom he is per-
petually mistaken. But his ablest coadjutor in the
ridiculous is to be found in the person of Mr. Twill
(Mr. LtstoN), a wholesale linen. draper, and a Dandy,
who was his fellow traveller, but whose gig he up-
sets, whose money he wins, whose head he 'thumps
about, and salioe mistress he carries off, to crown
the disasters of the poor citizen. Mr. EMERY has
also a part to which he communicates a good deal of
humour; it is that of a servant, but inferior to either
of the former in points of more dramatic importance
than that of rank.. The chief merit of this little Piece
consists in the situations ; these are so well connected,
and so rapidly carried on, that they keep the mind I
in continual expectation.
