The Journal du Commerce of this morning says
The adoption of the Address by majority Of 40
votes, without amendment, and precisely as it wus
drawn up by Il committee chosen entirely from the
ranks of the opposition, is most important event.
The Ministry has been tried by the competent tribu-
nal and condemned the of the dsscntions be
tween the different branches of power. The defence
was altogether truly worthy efeir cause and has gi
ven decided proof of their total incapac,y."
1t is said, (says the Jorai d1 Commerce. tina. the
Ministers have foreseen every thing, and are Diet
ned bid defiance to whatever may huppen. 1t is re
ported that one of them, who possessed the en,us-
asm of Hartyrdom, sad to Deputy of tried RoyaIist
sentiments. 81 am determined to carry either the
Budget, or 10 perish on the sccG3ld." no which the
Deputy replied, you ,ciu do neither The one nor The
other.'
According to the tenor of a preceding para graph
the Address of the Chamber Deputies in answer to
the speech of the King, debated the 18th and
10th. The discussions were warm and animated, and
the address adopted reported, by vote of22i
to i6i. Win one exception, the address is echo
ut the speech That exception refers to the passage
OF the kings Speech in which his Majesty speaks of
the 'treacherous insnuations of maevolence, and
cupable mapoeuvres against his Government.
The reply OF the Deputies to this passage is fol-
lows:
"Culled by your Majestys voice from all parts of
the Kingdom we come to lay at he foot of your throne

holding you the most beDefceDt in the midst of the

indirect. and wisely circumscribed within limits

LATE AND IMPORTANT FROM FRANCE
We are indebted to Capt. Robinson of the pack
ct ship Charleinagne for cop:ous flies of Paris and
liavre papers to Goth March, both inclusive. The
Goth being Saturday, accounts for receiving no
later dates from IIavrc than from Paris. The
Charlemagne has had remarkably pleasant pas
sage for the season, having had occasion but once
to take in -top-galant sail, and is only 16 days
FROM Sicily Isles.
The political state of tho county is intensely
interesting. A little more etfervescence, and who
can predict the consequences. We have not time
to insert to day the address of the Chamber of
Deputies to the Kng;-we can only say, it is plain
FRENCH without sycophancy, and the Kings reply is
equally plain, cold and distant.
PROPAGATION OF THE CHAMBERS.
Paris, March 20.-The expectation that the Cham
bers would be prorogued or dissolved yesterday ex-
cited such intense interest, that an early hour in
the morning, the approaches to the Palace of the
Chamber of Deputies were obstructed by crowd
anxious to obtain admission soon as the doors
should be opened By noon, the hour for which the
Deputies had been summoned, the multitude had
become so dense. that when the Members of the
Chamber arrived, the veterans of the guards on duty
were obliged to employ force to open for them pas
sage.
when the doors were opened the galleries were
immediately filled, and so great the tbrong that
the Sale des Conferences was completely occupied
by intruders. The attendance of Deputies was ex-
tremely numerous, many groups were formed in diff
erent parts of the house, and anaycd conyersariDu
took place,
The President took the Chair at one o'clock.
The minutes of the last sitting, having been read
d. Cardoue approached the Tribunal, and seemed
anxious to speak, but after some CONVERSATION with
the President md Secretaries lie rntnrncd To his
