However, as several Of the European Powers are

NJ. Audry du Pureveau made speech on the
necessity of placing the National Guards, the
natural defenders of liberty, on more respect
able footing. He. however, approved Of the pro-
ject of Government. We cannot rely on the pro-
mlscs of foreign powers. England is interested
in the war. Loud di,approbatiOn on all sides

NJ. Brigode, after some observations on theme
cessity of being prepared at ali events, votes for
the allowance.
NJ. Jars refuted the opinion OF those who
thought that war was indispensable to continue
the revolution. War (said ks) is scourge,
legacy of barbarous times. You cannot wish for
war, and in order to preserve peace. YOU are rea.
dy to make every sacrifice. The kings are aIar-
med by old recollections and by recent catastro-
Plies: we must'hasten to remove their fears, BY
showing them our revolution pure Of every e1-
cess, and coGfning itself within the bounds Ola
wise liberty. The riots in Paris have been held
out to them as an object OF terror; they were also
told that new propaganda, modelled on that OF
the revolution Of 1889, was about to be formed IN
Paris. This is an error Or a calumny, which~e
have sufficiently refuted by our moderation and
religious respect for the principles OF non-lhter
ventiOn.
Gen Richemont read long memoir, which the
feebeness of his voice prevented our hearing
the members Of both extremities of the chamber
repaired to the foot of the tribune, and listened to
the orator with great attention. From what we
could collect, he recommended the instant oc.
cupation of Belgium by France: he supp'Icated
France not to trust too highly the friendly assur-
ances Of England. Remember, said he. her con-
duct towards enmark, when in time OF peace
she destroyed the Danish feet. on the simple
dread of war. England is always guided by Prl-
vate interests, and she invariably crossed all inc
designs of France, which had for their result her
aggrandizement and prosperity. She allowed Us
to undertake generous expeditions, and to reap
distant Iaurels; but there rests her benevolencs
towards US Since the battle Of Hastings n's
that of Waterloo. her policy had been invariably
the same. Let US not be deceived by the symPa
thy shown for our revolution by the English Peo'
Pile, who admire and approve it, because !aeiy
themselves want the reform Of many abuses, which
they have struggled in vain to obtain for the last
fairly years. Whatever may be the party IN power

principles towards us. They will always oppose
