MiniStecial Press, which Always pretends to speak
from ietberity, and which, upon this occasion, though
triumphing in the humiliation of France, calls the
terms highly favourable:to Mit country ! Certain it

As the oath (inserted yesiti4ey) was administer-
ing in the Members of the Chamber of Peers and
Chamber of Deputies, some intimated a wish to
take it with certain quatificatioos. Otte of the Peers,
M. de la Boerdenneyvtitossec, proposed to add,

Religion." This occasioned universal reermors.

yesterday ; and the King ordered the calling over of
the names of the Members to be sworn to proceed.

When all the Members had been sworn, the Chan.
cellar, in the King's name, declared that the See.

and Deputies were requested to commence their la.;

he bad been received on his entrance. His Majesty
was re-conducted by the sense deputation of 10 Peers
and 25 Deputies, which had been appointed to wait
on him on his way to the Throne.
The King being seated iu his carriage, the proces-
sion returned to the Thuilleries. The gravity of the
persunagel in the royal 'carriages annotinced to the
people the important nature of the communications
which Louis XVIII. had made to the Chambers.
