The communication relative to the cleo
tiop law has been to day officially announ-
ced by the President Of the Chamber OF De-
puties, for Monday, the 18th inst. The
count de ST. Ahlaire was the bearer Of this
important intelligence to the President. The
difficulty of concilia,ing the suffrages oil the
majority of the chamber. in a question OF
such vital importance has eecasioned a long
DELAY, to which the efervesence which eX-
ISIS in the departments may in great part be
attributed. The new law is acknowledged
by the whole nation to involve the dearest
interests OF the country but the conclusions
which are drawn from 1t, are diametrically
opposite, one party maintaining that It's aHop-
ton is indispensable for the security OF the
| dynasty, and the consolidation OF the royal
| authority the other, that il it should not pc
rejected, the foundation on which repeses
every popular right, becomes unstable and
Insecure.
1t is acknowledged by all sides, that tbe
kings government will succeed in carrying

rity at twenty votes it is probable it will be
vet more considerable. The ministry are
reproached with employing every species OF
seduction to counterbalance the efforts of
their enemies.
