PARIS, .9prH CODA voice dear to the COM
irv from the tribune, has paid meri.ed tribute
to the National Guards Of Paris. To-day is the
anniversary Of the Review, in consequence of
who that BODY OF civic militia received indig-
mis- from hand unfiendly 10 France The
Speech OF General Lafayette is patriotic and
cousola,ory commeInora, alton OF that bad epoch
The words OF him who boasts Of bein., the old
est veterant Of the Partisan National Guard,
will resound in the hearts still acerated by an
insult not We, atoued. These words have an
authority which produced sensation in the
chamber itself; they were heard with peculiar
attention, which ought to be recorded IN honor
of The whole assembly.
An honorable magistrate who had the honor
10 command one Of he lesinns Of the National
Guard, has isen with a generous indignation
against the ministry which struck down the
elite of the Partisan population. This minis
try no longer eXists-hut il survives in its
works., is sill powerful enough to proven,
the reparaiinn ofthr injuries it produced.
The words Of VI. Agicr make known to France
the origin OF those obstacles which prevent The
governmen, from returning To tue charter: they
arise from the very men whose impeachment
was demanded by the electoral colleges. Salts
fed with having escaped terrible responsible
ity, II would become them TO seek refuge in OBJ
security; But the long suff ring OF the chamber
has onlv given them boIdness. Iii they them
selves who the accusers Of the assembly TO
which they much indebted for iudul-

ADMINISTRATION which has been anxious TO palate
their evil doings, and 10 protect taeir creatures.
