of the Commons. A Deputation of twelve

, and another of twenty.five Deputies of De-
partments, received his PdAs.resTe on his arrival.--

right Mousteue, on his left the Duke of Bemis.
bake of ORLEANS occupied the place on the

next to Moseteue. To the right and left, at.

distance of a few steps from the threat, were the
President of the Council, the Secretaries and Mini-
State, a number of Marshals, Chevaliers of

Orders of St. Louis and the Legion of Honour,'
CounciLlors of State, Masters of Requests, and other
of State. The Peers were placed on the

congratulation to the French people, and oc-
taken from it to bestow a tribute of well-
praise on the heroic resignation of the inla•

burden of the occupation. Now that this

epoch has arrived, his MAJESTY announces a
Resolution which he had delayed to execute until
entire liberation of his territory—namely, that
solemnly crowned in the midst of his people,
tendering, in the face of Heaven, the oath
he has already taken to confirm and maintain
litutions flowing from the Charter, and to pre.
