FRENCH PAPERS.
CHAMBLE OF DEPUTIES. Arast.ls.
CLAIMS OF FOREIGNERS UPON FRANCE.
The Chamber a•s•mhled at one o'clock. The
Duke de Ittomitu eddreised them in the following

speech ;--
• "At the opening of the present Session, he rib
served, the King communicated to them his hopes
respecting the diminution of she burdens that pressed
upon the 'wino, and the enfranchisement of their
territory. In conformity to his commands, he came
before them to state the result of the negotiations
already terminated, and to require the means of coo-
eluding those in contemplation, soil he flattered
himself that they would willingly co.operate to com-
plete the task.
" Qn signing the Treaty of the 30th May, 1814,
the conttecting Powers reciprocally renounced the
whole of the sums claimed by them, bet in the abaft.
!wino of their own rights, it was the duty of Go.
settiments to consider as sacred those of individuals.
These were protected by special articles. France
• formally hound herself to liquidate the sums due to
individuals or to particular bodies, beyond the limits
of her territory, by virtue of contracts and formal
engagements. They were occupied in making the
necessary arrangements for the fulfilment of an obli-
latian which Franca would have prescribed to her.

destroyed all the hopes of repose and prosperity,
which they were permitted to anticipate. Ile would
not excite the deplorable remembrance of calamities,
bet too well impressed spoil their recollection, but
it would be permitted him to say, that the desire of
alleviating them, had alone solaced to support Minis-
ters in the painful task, which, in the first place, re-
quired, perhaps, both courage and fidelity to un-
dertake. Since that period, the hope of relieving
the distresses of the country, had excited all their
efforts, and incessantly occupied their thoeghts.—
After the disastrous epoch to which he had alluded,
France had to sustain the weight of two different
hardens ; the first founded upon the Treaty of the
10th of May, 1814, arising from debts, contracted at
different periods with thesubjects of foreign Govern-
ments ; the other established by the Treaty of the
20th of November, gave them these Governaseati
themselves for creditors. The former, which was the
object the negotiations jest terminated bad in vieir;
an end of which they were not ignorant—no that
of claiming indemnities for the inhabitants of those
countries for the ravages committed by war, as some
persvall affected to believes and stiU less that of
