M..Paturistref—When the Representatives of the
People Confided to us the Government we accepted
bat we did not know the extent of the evils *bid)
have befallen as. In vain haze we kttethpted tO re•
pet the storm—in spite of all the heroic efforts of
our troops, and the entire devotion of the National
Guard, we have found it impossible to prevent the
Allies penetrating to Pails, either by force or nego-
cintions. IV% have preferred the latter measure,
not to compromise the fate of the capital by a pre-
carious combat against superior numbers, hourly re-
ceiving reinforcements. Under these circumstances,
we have the pleasure to announce to you, that in
avoiding the effusion of blood we ha►e neither sa.
crificed. the principles of our political Government,
nor thesglory of the French arms.
M. GARAT.—Nothing better certainly could hare
been obtained under the present circumstances;
but, my friends, we are the citizens of a free nation,
and we most act accordingly. A similar epoch in
England was the means of cementing her liberties.—
When the English called William 111, to the throne
which they had declared vacant, they seized the
happy moment of an interval between two dynasties
to give a new sanction to all their rights. Then it
was that that famous Declaration appearrl, called
the Bill of Rights. It was not a Declaration similar
to that one in France under the title of the nights of
Matt, neither was it a Constitution, but a law reduced
into various articles. It was a shield to prevent the
usurpation of William 111. who had himself strove
against Louis XI V. and arrested his victories. This
Parliamentary statute is the Pharos of British liber-
ty. 1 have every confidence in the Allies, particu-
larly
the English, to whom we have paid the compli-
ment of following their example. Yes! we will
have the liberty of choosing our own Constitution.—
I wish, therefore, at this moment to give the nation
something like that Bill of Rights which is the glory
atilt English. M Garet then read a series of articles,
entitled Declaration of the Rights of the French Pao:

LOUIS XVIIL IN PARIS,

ANIS MUST
IMPOR TAINT NEWS FROM FRANCE.

We this forenoon received the Paris Papers up to
the morning of Friday last, including those of se.
venal days the contents of which have not been
made public here. We give a hasty, but correct
sketch of the mass of intelligence which they contain.
The news, under tl►e bead of the Couriers Extraor.
%Unary, is the latest and most important.
dinary indeed are the circumstances there announced.
Though the Houses of the Legislature, who have been
denounced as rebels, were in full debate end fall
power on Thursday, and had matured a Constitution
which one would think a branch of the family
of Bouaaosr, who professes to rule by a far different
charter, would have some diliculty in acceding to,
and though few indications were exhibited that the
presence of Louts XVIII. as a Sovereign, would
be very agreeable in the French capital, that Prince
was expected to enter Paris on Thursday ;right. He
was that evening at St. Denis, with his Marshals and
Ministers, the Dukes of Taatisvou (Macdonald),
BELLUNO (Victor), RAGUSA (MirMOOI), FELTRL,
(Clarke), &c. But the most extraordinary par.
titular among all the articles of intelligence thus corn.
municated is that where we find it announced that the
Duke of WELLINGTON hes been giving a grand
dinner to the Duke of &raver° (Fouche! !) slid pro-
bably the rest of the personages whom he was ex-
pected and most earnestly entreated by the favoured
&denotes of general ♦engeance in this country, to
suspend as high as Haman ! The British troops
were biroueelcg in tents in the neighbourhood of
Paris. The Allied Sovereigns are now to seeker
Paris, stir) hold their second Congress there, whore
their promises of not interfering in the Government
of France will doubtless he put to the test by the
offering to Loots, their Ally, for his acceptance, the
Constitution now completed by the Representatives.
It is clear that if he ever again becomes the King of
France, he will hold his crown by tt different tenure
than formerly, or any of his family have recognised.

The Emperor ALCIANDER was to arrive and take
op his residence at the Paitui Elysee Bourbon, on
Thursday or Friday. It seems arranged that when
the Sovereigns should enter, the Representatives and
Peers were to retire to the army behind the Loire.

The question now is, will the Constitution, drawn
op by NAPOLEON'S Chambers, be arrepted by Lours,
and will the refusal of it continue the wars? It
Includes a general amnesty to all those concerned
In the late revolution, and even rewards and honours
ens those who have suffered in it. That peace and
the establishment of a solid and honourable guaran-
tee to the liberties and properties of the French peo.
pie, will he the result of the late efforts to maintain
them and the present state of things, seems to be
confidently and generally anticipated, for the Funds
have had an extraordinary rise. From some en.
aotountable cause, ours have fallen greatly.
NArot.s.on has been allowed to proceed unmolested
to Roche. fort, where, it k supposed, he has embark-
ed (hut whereto is not stated), together eith Gen.
BERTRAND and others. Nair is said to have sailed
for America, whither also MONAPAUTt Is, in all pro-
bability, gone.
PARIS, JULY 4.—The Convention with Lord
Wellington is inserted; then follows a decree in the
name of the French people to the effect of* vote of
thanks to the Army of the West, signed by the Coco-
tnittee of Government. A second decree is also given,
thanking the soldiers, who so bravely defended the
approaches to the capital. The Committee of Go.'
refitment hare ordered the ;Minister at War to make
immediately a report upon the recompenees necessary
to be made to the soldiers of every rank in the
French army.
Napoleon passed through Tours on the 30th of
June, accompanied by the Duke of aorigo (Savary),
and Generals Bertrand and Becker.

NATIONAL GUARD OF PARIS.
ORDER OF TIM DAT, JULY 4.
A Convention has been mule with the Allied

Posers to stop the effusion of blood—the people will
remain without alarm, and remain in (hot firm and
peaceable attitude which they have preserved in the
midst of dangers. The Polk@ of the city is confided
to the National Guard, under my order, as Go.
•
senior of Paris.
Continue to guard yourselves 'from ale appshen.
sions, repel all dissensions, put down ittl tumultuous
assemblies ; but, above all, take especial rare to pre-

M. MArruar. stated that the Committee of Go.
verument were occupied in (he same way, and moved
that the proposals of M. Garat should be sent to
that Committee.
On this a long discussion ensued, in which BAR.
RUE, and many other celebrated characters took
part. The debate ended in the proposal being re-
ferred to a Committee composed of Solignac, Ctrs.
chon, Renault, and Sibuet.
M. PENIERES.--I move that the tricoloured flag
and the national colours be placed under the guard
of the fidelity of the army, the National Guards,
and the Citizens—carried by acclarnatiew.
M. JAY.—The Government yesterday communi.
cated to you some very important pieces, which
ought to be printed for public use.—This proposal
was seconded, and a long debate ensued, in which it
was stated and confirmed on all sides, that during
the late negociations for the Convention in order to
avoid the effusion of blood, the whole population,
as well as the army, called out that they despised
the number of enemies, and like the Lacedemonians,
were ready to perish amid the ruins of their country.
M. LEPELLETIER.--I demand that the two PM..
cram:itions of Louis XVIII. be publicly dispersed.—
It is necessary that France should know what be
promises, and what he tbrestens.
General Sortatene...4 second the motion with all
my heart. It is necessary that those persons who
imagine that the return of Louis XVIII. would pro-
duce a paternal Government, should be convinced
that his Proclamations promise completely the coo-

trary.
A Committee of ire was appointed to decide on
this.

At five o'clock M. Garet produced the following
Declaration of Rights :
Art. 1. All paver emanates from the people.—The
sovereignty of the people is composed by the rights
of the people.
2. The division of power is the principle the most
necessary to the preservation of liberty.
3. The Legislative Power in France is composed
of three different elements—a Rouse of Repre-
sentatives, an Upper Chamber, and a Monarch.
4. In the originating
.laws, the proposing, sane-
tinning, and opposing >them, belongs equally to the
three branches of the Legislature. No law can exist
but by the onion of the whole. The public contri-
butions, the raising troops, a t.J the election of a
new dynasty, belong exclusively to the Repre.
sentatives of the People.

5. The Executive Power is exercised by Ministers
only, each one solidly responsible for the acts of his
Department.

8. The Prince is inviolable. In case of the viola.
Lion of the law, the Ministers shall be impeached by
the House of Representatives. They shall be judged
by the Upper Chamber.
7. Nothing can be done against personal liberty,
but by the law.
8. The Liberty of the Press cannot be subject to
any sort of censure. The law shall determine what
shall be considered what is the abuse of it.
