M. CLZIIVIT DU Doros, the Secretary, read the
internal regulations of the last Chamber, of which
:chapter 8 and 4, relatire-to the holding of the sit-
4ktga, and the propositions' which may he made, were
adopted provisionally.
- A Codunittte of nine Members will draw up de-
regulatioas, and submit them to the Chamber
to be discussed.
M. MANUEL, Deputy (des' Haute. Alpes) repro-
bated the production of untimely and sadden pro-
positions, a if, he observed, a rule had been• ob.

Member, aad_the preposition which he had to submit,

and from the PRESIDLNT'S speech it appears probable
the responsive will of the Chamber would be ex-
pressed in flue form on Saturday. This reply may
be expected to point out the line of conduct that
NAPOLEON ought to pursue, and therefore must be
exceedingly important. We shall soon see whether
he is inclined to reign as a 66 Constitutional Mo-
narch." LANJUINAIS will keep him to the text If
he can ; but really the hearts of all who stickle
for the honour and independence of France, are
so devoted to her present Chief, that he appears
to have no other restraint to fear than the bounds
of moderation and prudence which•he has prescribed

ready the French people will be to excuse hit. de-
parture from the policy he has lately preserted.—
There is an article in the Moniteur, from Nantes,
which strongly evinces the nature of the sentiments
which the conduct of the British Government has
excited in the French mind, by the eagerness which
it has manifested to excite insurrection in the coun-
try, and the aid and sanction which it hat .given to
the aggressive projects of the Sovereigns of the Con-
gress. It also gives a picture which we suspect is not
far from the truth, of the divisions which actually exist
among the Allies, and the troubles that they had
much better be employed in quieting in their own

its aethor to renames it, and would hare persuaded
b m that it would be most injudicious by indiscreet
p opOsitiotis to break the happy accord of national
fueling with which the Freath people rallies round
its Sovereign." The report of the Committee on the
election of the Sub-prefect of Denan, which de-
clared that Sub-prefects cud Prefects elected by their
arrondissements or departments should not be ad-
*shied to sit in the Chamber, was adopted. '
A Member asked, if the Assembly should not soon
bear the Address to the Emperor read; wes it pro-

to himself. The nation is now roused, and resistance
igarnst the threatened oppression and degradation Is
breathed with a general indignation. We know we
shall be told there are insurrections against the Go-
vernment in the West, in the North, and in the
South. The public ear ha been abused with the
most exaggerated falsehoods on this head. Except in
La Vendee, where the Sans Culotte banditti of the
woods bare been urged on to deeds of outrage and
cruelty which have ended in the extirpation of the

countries. " That nation" (the English), says the
French Paper, " is the only one that we ought to at-
tack; all France regards the troubles in L 2 Vendee as
the commencemence of hostilities on the part of the
English. Their Government, the constant enemy of
France, seeks to destroy us by. every possible means.
As long is a guinea remains in the coffers of the
English Minister, and a Slave upon the Contitzent to
be boeght with it, Europe will be tormented. It is
not- the French people that menace the trial-

er to leen a long interval between the effusions of
the heart of the monarch, and the effusions of the
beans of the National Representatives towards the
bead of the State ? Should the Emperor be suffered
to eat Dot ter the armies, at the head of which he
proposes to place himself, without the Chamber har-
lot expressed to him the sentiments with which they
aro asimated towards their Constitutional Monarch.
• The Pacsdnat observed, that many projets of
Addresses had been given in to the Committee, which
it required time to read and appreciate-...what should
bi admitted or rejected. A selection judged the
most suitable, would, tomorrow, be submitted to
the Chamber. 46 I will make known to the Corn-

most of them, and the death of thee, Chiefs, the ten-
dency among the French people to cut one another's
throats, and desolate their country for.the sake of
the Bottasoms, hes been but very MN evinced.

the Chamber."
A discussion took place •on the method of pre-
senting petitions. It was proposed that a Committee
should be established, to which all petitions should
In the first place be presented.
M. Csocamt, and another Member, opposed the
propositiea, as being contrary to the Additional Act.
M. Suture thought it would be improper to esta-
blish an intermediary Committee, but the Petitions,
when read, might be referred to Committees to eitt-
vine them.
Some Members seemed to fear that the Chamber
would be encumbered with Petitions.
M. FLAUGUERGES observed, that in the preceding
Session nine out of ten Petitions were rejected, as
not worthy of consideration. The right, however,
of petitioning was of the utmost importance; and
the first duty of the Chamber, after the making of
laws, was that of watching over the execution of
them. hl. Flauguerges then eulogized the form,
as to the presentation of Petitions, followed in the
English Parliament, which was nearly the same as
that established iu the Additional Act to the Conti-
,
The Assembly decided, that all Petitions should be
read, and referred, if there was cause, to a Special
Committee.
M. read a Petition from hi. J. P. Gespard
Jeuve, Receiver of the Registration at Seillan, de-
partment of the Drave. 66 This Citieen," said the
orator' " who is generally esteemed, was denounced
to theExtraordinarY Comnsissieear, soul by his Ma-
jesty in the 7th Military Division, strips sod arrest-
ed, and pet under the surpeillgrise of the Mayor (I
disposition already illegal, sines it could not be de-
creed het tie the Tribliesla), and transferred on the
111th of May, by order of the Captain of the Gm-
d'arasetk. Whew the father of M. Jouve, titkioa
just interest in the cause, asked why M. JOily, was
thus treated was replied, that it was under
Orders givea by "the Administrative Authorities. I
attest the facts. M. Jeers does not ask to be set at
liberty, but to be tried. Gentlemen, to infringe
upon the liberty of ouicitisen breaks in on the rights
of all."
Some Members called for the Order of the Day.
The Paestnever observed, that the Petitiou being
received by the Chamber, would be taken to the
Emperor by the President, according to the terms of
the 65th article of the Additional Act.
The Chamber adjourned.

is killed, and his party are either dispirited or anni-
hilated. Ministers admit this ; and the flame of
civil war will not be kept alive much longer, even in
the woods of La Vendee, unless it is fed from this
country—this is the amount of the "gratifying ad-
vices" received from the coast of France on Monday,
and so faithfully given to their Readers by the hire-
ling deluders of the Treasury. We feel no triumph
in stating this—we lament to hear of men's lives
being so uselessly sacrificed—of the troops of the
enemy thus arming and providing themselves with
the means of hostility at our expence; and we ex-
press our honest indignation at seeing such misrepre-
sentations of a lamentable fact sent into the world as
gratifying truths—statements which, if true, could
not be gratifying to the heart of any one who has a
feeling of humanity. •
The Moniteur announces the departure from Paris
Of the regiments of the Imperial Guard, and of the
troops of the line, cavalry and artillery, towards
the frontiers of Flanders and Germany ; and that
the National Guard, under its own Officers, had
taken upon them the sole duty of Paris. Thee we
see NAPOLEON is not afraid to leave the capital and
France to the care of its own inhabitants—we shall
probably see by the next arrival a further confirma-
tion of the falsehood of the assertion that he dared
not show himself on the frontier. We fear that a
most erroneous estimate has been made of his means
of defence. His force on the frontier already equals
the armies collected to oppose him; and the Sore.
reigns his enemies have left themselves no other
guarantee for his not commencing offensive warfare
than his own moderation—the promise of a
man who, they say, keeps no promises. that
he will abide by a Treaty to which he did not
accede ! The fortresses of the Netherlands are
not in a state of defence—the French fortresses
are. NAPOLEON destroyed the defensive barriers of
Belgium when he overran Holland—the French he
repaired. Lord CASTLEREAGH has just obtained a
vote of an immense sum of money to repair the for-
tresses of his King of the Netherlands—the Sove-
reign Dutch Prince who sat in a republic the other
day, and now talks, like the rest of the Congress
Sovereigns and Louts XVIII., of the " divine right
of Kings!" The Belgians, who cannot be supposed
to be yet much attached to this right, and
have crops of corn to preserve, and some little va-
luables yet left them, canuot be expected to behold
with any great degree of satisfaction contending
armies ravaging their fields, and red-hot balls beat-
ing down their Louses and cities about their ettts--.

A Elamborgh Mail arrised this forenoon. It in-

Rapp, after having passed some days at Huninguen, is
gone back to Strashurgh. Ile is expected to return to
li-ninguen, where there is now a garrison of 50ccs
Na'ional Guards, and 1000 troops of the line, of all
arms. Within these few days the artillery has heels
exercised in firing red-hot balls, which is, at least,
enough to make us uneasy. We learn further, that
it has been announced to the French troops on our
frontiers, that immediately upon the return of Ge-
neral Rapp to Runinguen, they will enter Switzer
land, unless the Republic immediately declare fur
ttea-
trality, and gives the guarantee that it *ill not permit
the Allied troops to pass through its territory. The
redoubts which the French have lately erected be-
tween Ifuninguen and Basle are now furnished with
four 24-pounders, four lrge mortars, and two
howitzers. They call easily reach the bridge at
Bask.

It is remarked that among the pros isions in the ma.
wines at Iluninguen there are 800 hogsheads of wine,
800 oxen, corn and flour for two years, and wood
for *a year. Si: hundred cows, and as many hogs,
now in the place and neighbourhood, are to be
slaughtered this week.

The Meeting of the Inhabitants of Westminster,
in Palace-yard, to consider of the rejection of their
Petition by the House of Commons, took place to-
day, and was' well attended. The Chair was
taken by Sir FRANCIS Btatorrt, the High Bailif
having refused to call the Meeting. Major CART-
WitIOUT was also present, and the business was pro-
ceeding when our Paper went to Cress.

The Horatio, DISCHARD, from Bithea to Guern-
sey, arrived at Penzance on the 12th ; she landed
Capt. HALL, of the Royal Navy, who proceeded
immediately for Llndon, with dispatches. She also
landed a French General and several other Officer',
who are going to join the Royal Party at Ghost.

are the passions that reign in its Cabinet, and Aostrl
opposes the augmentation of the Prussian force, as it
might prove ominous to Germany. What do the Al-
lied Powers want ? To strike France out of the fist
of nations. Yes; they wish to subject and divide
our territory—to give Dauphiny to Piedmont—Lor-
raine and Alsace to Austria—the Hearst to Spain--e-
Avignon, and the Comtat, to the Pope—Guyenne,
Bretagny, and our principal sea-ports, to England.
Such, Frenchmen, is the plan of the Cabinet of Eng-
land," &c.
The secrets of the Congress which was to esta-
blish the divine right of Kings to do as they please
for ever, are not yet disclosed so as that the world
can judge accurately of the projects which were
hatching in that hot-bed of ambition and discord—
therefore the assertions regarding the intention to par-
tition France, as above described, may be denied; but
we have reason to believe, that the plans laid dawn at
Congress were not altogether unknown in France.—
The plot whioh gave France to the government of the
men who now administer her affairs, was formed and
completed in the very presence of the favourite Mi-
nister and Secretary of Louts XVIII. at a hotel at
the 'f huilleries, where Foucas, Canwerr, and others,
met to talk over the news of the day, and M.
BLACAI, forgetting, perhaps, where be was, and
all difference of political opinion, used to tell his
story among the rest. But if any suspicion had been
entet tained by the Governn.ent of Lours, which we
do not say was the case, of an intention on the pert
of the other Sovereigns of crippling France, it
will be asked why did he not protest against it,
and take measures to defeat the ambitious project ?
Because, it may be answered, he could nut defeat
it—he had not the power to go to war with the
Allies. But these meditated abridgments of the
French territory may he only the securities required
of NAPOLEON, or contemplated as requisite, for his
keeping the peace ; —whether they are so or not they
will never be conceded by France.
Notwithstanding the silence of the Monitor,. on
the subject of NAPOLEON'S leaving the capital, we
are assured that what we stated yesterday as having
been communicated by dispatches from the Duke of
WELLINnTON, namely, that the French Emperor
was at Lille, is correct, and our sources of informa-
tion desire us to repeat it with confidence. We can-
not believe that he would be long absent from his post,
after his hands have been so strengthened.

• The First Annitersary Dinner of this Institution
was held yesteriday at the City of London Tama,
end was attended by g company no less numerous
than respectable.
The Lord Mayor presided, in tirtne of his office
as Chief Magistrate of the City, and was supported
on his right hand by his Royal Highness the Doke of
Kent, the President of the Institution. Those pre.
sent having partaken of an excellent dinner, and the
cloth being removed, Non nobis Domine was sung,
after which the King's health was proposed by the
President, and drunk in respectful silence. The
healths of the Prince Regent, the Queen, the Prin-
cesses, the Duke of York, followed iu succe.ion ;
and after the latter, Burns' noble and patriotic Ode
of Scols wha hae zrs' Wallace bled, was sung by
Mr. Incledon.

The Loran MAYOR, in proposing as a toast, " Ties
Memory of those who have gallantly fallen," ex-
patiated upon the philanthropic nature of the Insti-
tution, whose object was to provide a religious BA-
moral education for the children of men who had
sacrificed their lives in defence of their country.
His Royal Highness the Duke of KrNr, as Presi-
dent of the Invitation, followed his Lordship, in
dwelling more minutely upon the views entertained
by the Friends and P,tenes of the Soriety, and
warmly recommended, tint only to the compary
present, but to the people of England ge,.erary.

(lustre of the Scottish nation, as welt as upon tl:e
splendid achievements which hey had performed i"
the military and naval struggles of the Empire, tiSLI
concluded by earnestly expressing his hopes that t:'-'
result of that day's meeting would be to augment ii.-
resources of the Society, which he pledged hilmel
should be economically and beneficially applied. A
subscription to a 'considerable amount. was iln'll''•
diately entered into by the company. Several other
toasts were drunk, among which were the Niche.'

the Allied Soverelgns, with success to their en .
deavours to establish the Peace of the Continent, by
