NJ. Pcdomcs proposed the following
amendment: "Thc throne is vacant in
consequence of violation of the Charter
and the laws" The Hon. Deputy in
supporting this proposition, drew a strik-
ing picture Of the events which had led
to the fall of the Exking, who he said
was the worthy heir Of Charles the y Ninth's
ierocity, and had not the courage to show
himself in the hour of danger.
Nj. de Martignac-l feel compelled tc
raise, in behalf OF IA family plunged il
misfortune, a voice which defended it in
the height of its power. | could not
hear without deep sorrow, the words that
fell from the last speaker. All! gentle
men, /, who was intimate with hin, had
it in my power to know this Prince, |
co,Ld not hear him accused of ferocty
without Indignation. Great agitation
on the left. Checrs.) No, gentlemen,
this was not lerocious, he has been de-
ceived. 1t was not his heart which die
tatcd the infamous Ordonnances. They
were the work of periidious councillors,
which give up to you. Let not your
indignation be wrcakcd upon him. All,
believe me, gentlemen, who have lived in
intimate intercourse with him, the love
of his country animated his heart (Nlur-
murs from the extreme gauchc). ] am
not astonshcd at the truly heroic rcsis-
tance which these iniquitous Ordonnan-
ces called forth; but | ask again, why,
after power has fallen, utter words
which will be an additional sting to a
heart already afflicted by misfortune.
do not know, gentlemen, whether have
followed the rules Of prudence and mod
Grafton. Ooh! ohD 1t was my heart
that spoke"
NJ. Bernard-You have applauded
what has been said by Nj. de Martignac;
in France, the defence will always be
heard with favor. But on the other, we
could not, with sang ,troid, hear it statct
that the heart of Charles glowed with tho
sacred fire of the love of his country
The sccptrc was in his hand the sign Of
protection. He has broken it upon his
people. No, he never cherished the
love of his country. Loud checrs.)
NJ. Alexis de Noailes--I beg 10 sec
ond what Nj. de Martignac has spoken
by stating only one iact-When it wa'
proposed to recall these Ordonnanccs
which had been the cause ofthe carnage
you know, gentlemen, you know all, who
answered, and took the consequences
upon himself, it was not the sovereign but
the minister.
Numerous voices: ah! all! what a sin
gular subtcrluge!

taking into consideration the imperious
necessity which results from the event,
of July 26, 81, %, and 90, and having
regard to the situation in which France
is placed, in consequence of this viola
ton of the Constitutional Charter; con-
sidering, moreover, that in consequence
of this violation and the heroic resistance
of the citizens of Paris, his Majesty
King Charles X. Louis Antoine, his son,
and all the members of the senior branch
of the Bourbons, all leaving the king
dom, declares that the throne is vacant
de tacio et de ju'c, and that there is al
absolute necessity of providing for it.
Nj. Persil proposed by way of amend
ment to declare that--"The sovereignty
belongs to the nation; it is unalienablc
and imprescriptabe."
The President observed, that this pro-
vision was comprised in the second par
agraph of the preamble, where this pas
sage is found :-"lt is injurlng the public
rights of the French to appear to grant
them rights which belong to them"
Art. &. Was then submitted to discus
sion. 1t has for its object to grant
stipend to the Ministers OF the Catholic
worship, which is that of the majority oi
the French
Nj. Viennct-Among the French there
are 10000 Jews, citizens like us: thcJ
are admitted as we are to pay homuge tc
the Sovereign; they defend the country
and liberty; it would be an odlous preJu-
dice to exclude them. | therefore de-
mand that the article be drawn up thus

thorised shall be paid by the Royal Treas

Tn" article was adopted in the follow
ing terms:-"The Ministers OF the Ro-
man Catholic and Apostolic Religion
proicssed 10y the majority of the French
and those of other Christian churches
receive stipends from the French Treas
ury."
To Article 8, M. Dcyaux proposed tC
