! Paris. Feb. l7.-The following notice
has been ISSUED from the Cabinet Of his
Majesty
"The King, in continuing the fleur-
de lis on the State Seal, has considered
them as nothing more than an emblem
which has been that of France for several
centuries, and which recalled facts hon
or.Jlc to his ancestors, and glorious to
the nation. But some cul pablc attempts
have made them rallying sign for the
enemies Of the new dynasty, and of our
institutions, and as public opinion be-
hold in these emblcms nothing but
recent odous recolections, the King
has discarded all other considcra-
tons, and issued an ordinance to
change the State Seal. At the same
time Ills Majesty has given orders to
remove the leur-de-lis where it can be
done without delacing the public monu
mcnts, and without renewing the mutlla-
tions occasioncd by the removal in 10 4
of the cmblems of the republic, and the
reign of Napoleon. Already the bas re-
licS which had been taken down from the
triumphal arch on the place du Carrousal
at the restoration, are being replaced by
the King's orders"
/ The Monitcur of 9th contains Royal
ordinance which provides that in future
the State Seal shall represent an open
book, with the words "Chartc de 1880 !"
surmountcd by crown, with the sccptrc
and hand of Justice crossed, and trl-color-
flags behind the shield.

Correspondence Il must refer you to the
newspapers of the day and evening for an
account of the stormy debate in the
Chamber of Deputies, upon the subject
of the late tumults: in fact, It would he
impossible to describe to Won the tumut-
uous uproar of which the French Senate
was the arena on this occasion. Mem
bers rushing in crowds from their seats to
the tribune: facing, with clenched fists,
the Ministers Of the King, making, in
fact, all kinds of violent gcsticulations, g
uttering the widest ordinations, like
school-boys broke loose for their play
ground, and there suddenly rushing into
furious combat.
The Republican party is at this mo-
mcnt making desperate effort to ruin the
present Ministers, who, certainly appear
to want the decision of character ncces-
sary to carry the King through the diff
cult struggle in which he is engaged
You will perceive, as have twice men
toned TO you lately, that the King has
executed the intention he had repeatedly
expressed, Of decided and unequivocaly
resigning the Relgc throne for any mem
Der of his family. The opinion of the
Bclgic Deputies here is, that they will
have either Republic, or Provisional
Government, to enable them TO watch C.
vents, and have the advantage hereafter
of French conncyion, should "A war break
out in Europe.
From the Gazette de France Of Feb. ls.
The crisis is at hand-we can now say
so. But for the National Guard the Re-
public would have been proclaimed yes
tcrday in Paris; and what a Republic
---. such a one as would have
commenced in the devastation of the
churches, the tearing down Of the cross,
and violence against the clergy. We
must say however, the Republican move
ment has gained ground in these latter
days; for they have delivered up to it the
insignia of religion, and the cmblems Of
ROYALTY.
We can assure our readers that the
National Guard has been deeply afflicted
by these recent days, and by the sacriti-
ces made to disorder.
