 For instance, last night the regiments of the l line. bisouacling in the Court of the palais
 Royal, and squatted like Canadian Indians
 around their watch fires, were chanting the
 Parisenne and Marseifose Hymns, just under
 the windows of the King, while holding a Coun- 1 ci If Marshal Soult were in the Palace, one would ask him, is this military discipline? The people were of course outside the rails joining l in full chorus with these military songsters. All the shops are now shut ill the Palais Roy 1 al.

 Resignation of General Lofayehe ds he Commander ia-Chisfe ef the Natloaat Guards.
 "The sitting of the Chamber of Deputies on 1.-the 27th Dec. was numerously attended in con sequence of the extraordinary degree of inter- est excited by recent occurrences. The Cham
 Der was proceeding to the discussion of the law
 relative to the National Guard, when Gen. La fayette, entered and was received with univer-

 General then went to the President, and, after a short conversation with him, addressed the Chamber as follows:
 'ln a aeighboring nation it is the custom, when
 citizen retiFes from d distinguished offlee, for l him to come before his fellow citizens, and ex- tplaia the cause, and am sure the Chamber l will grant me the same favor. l always have !consldered that the post ol Commander-in-Chef l of the National Guards of France was incom- patible with a constitutional monarchy, except
 under circumstances of the most absolute neces-

 me to accept the same appointment, and 1 felt myself bound to acceptit, but always retaining
 the intention of laying it down, as soon as l was satisfied that 1t was no longer necessary for me to retain it-earler, if peace remained unhro-

 date; but shoulf,be deeply hurt if any one inn iasined-and no onez who has been acquainted with me during the last ffty-our years of my 1 life, can believe that rny conduct hasbecn dicta- ted by any personal feeling. l will go farther and say, that this opinion of the Chamber has af torded me an opportunity. The high authority with which was invested has given urnbrage which you, gentlemen, must have heard of; and this umbrage has eyenbeen felt in certain diplo- matic circles. ihecau Is now at an end, and
 have now no other honor than that of being one of your colleagues. One word more, gen tlemen; should not have given in my resgna- ton, which the King has accepted with all that goodness he has ever shown towards me. before
