LO NpON:
itreso,ty, OCTOBER 17, 1815.

We have received another day's French Papers of
the 14th, the pi features of %hit h are the pro-
endings in the Chambers el the Peers and Deputies,
and they are certainly important. The President, M.
Luger,. of the Chamber of Deputies, tors given a
strong earnest of his pliahitity to the stew order of
I things; and in this he is fully supported by his col.
!rogues. The Charter, it will be seen by hi. letswa's
speech, is to be the grand palladium of future
French liberty; end the only emptiest of
the Deputies will be to enregister the acts 4

lotion. There is net even a shadow of opposition
to the course which has been chalked out for them to
pursue, as the President tells them they must not
judge of Kings, but that Lousy the Desired must be
surrounded with all the strength of which he stands
in need, to hake France respected and public Insert)
protected. The Peers have not yet proceeded to any
public business, except voting an Address to the
King; but from all appearances there can be no doubt
of their acting in conformity to the King's wishes.—
Both Houses are now chiefly composed of the branches
of the Blood Royal and ancient Nobility of France.
to the exclusion of the Revolutionists, Philosophers,
and Patriots of France.
The terms of the Peace have not yet been pro-
! claimed, which are to bind France in chains ; pro.
belly it has not received its last formality. The
sanction of the Legislative Chambers, and of the
French people themselves, anti a union of resistance
to the terms imposed, may he a policy not so far dis.
tent from the contemplation of the French Ministry
as some may apprehend, who entertain the opinion
that they can have either honour or satisfaction in
sealing the degradation of their country.-a--
On the points which most concern Europe, the
sentiments of the Chambers are-yet unknown, be-

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.

Paris, Ori.ll.
The most interesting point which engaged the at.
tentionof the Ilnuse of Deputies yesterday (the WO),
and epon which the opinions are divided in the
Upper House as well as in this, is that of taking the
oath to the Charter. The Ultra. Royalists, two of
whom interrupted the Royal Sitting at the opening of
the Boole, to protest against it, insist upon comfit'.
ing their oath of allegiance to the Ring's person, as
was dose last year on the first presentation of the
Charter to the two Houses. The oath presented this
year is extended to the Charter, a circumstance
which modifies materially the duties binding on the
subject, and which may be considered as an addi.
Bona' concession on the part of the Crown, or re.
titer as the completion of that afforded by the Char.
ter. In the Upper House there appears a decided
majority in favour of this new form of oath, the
Duke de Berri himself urging strongly the necessity
of it. There are but two Peers who persevere in
rejecting it, M. de la Bourdonnaye de Blossac and
M. Jules de Poiignitc.

In the House of Representatives there appears to
Mist a less constitutional feeling, the majority in.
clining very mach to the rej.ction of the oath in its
present terms; in the sitting of yesterday an elide.
station was called for by a few Members, from those
who hai proposed taking the oath with restrictions.
A motion was also made that the Members should
individually sign a written oath of allegiance to both
King and Charter. This delicate question was de-
bated for some time, but with ne other result than
that of leaving the point quite undecided. In the
mean time the Members who reject the oath in its
present shape, keep their seats, and participate in
the deliberations, whilst others who are litigiously
objected to, on account of some supposed saws in
their qualifications, are in consequence suspended.
It is to be observed, that, on the King's late re.
tore, the peeeniery qualification for a Deputy was
to be regulated by the amount of direct contributions
or taxes which he paid to the State. This amount
was fixed by Miiiisters at a thousand francs per
annum, a sum which implied a considerable income
on the part of the candidate, and exceeding the. qua.
Ocelots hitherto required. It was conceived that
this sere would ezclude the mass of the Constitu-
tionalists, which effect, however, has not been corn.
plately produced; and hence the rigour with which
this part of the qualification is scrutinized.
