Mr. Snowdea-ln justice to all concerned.
think it right to state. that Immediately previous
to taking the vote upon the first resolution Of the
meeting held las, night in the Mechanics Hall,
gentleman arose and stated that he had that
day been informed by member Of the Commit
tee who answered Mr.. Doddridge's letter, that
the President Of the Council wished to have the
Council called aud the matter laid before them,
but was overruied oy the other members of the
Committee. and the answer consequently sent up
on their own responsibility. The mover Of the
resolution thanked the gentleman for h,s informa-
tiou and said that ne would alter it so as to make
it bear upon the Committee; but the meeting cal.
led for it, and it was passed in its present form.

Messieurs-Ibe troubles which have broken

ed me. but nothing is,nore Gale ulated to mitigate
the misfortune than the sentiments which the
Chamber Of Deputies has just addressed to me
by your organ. The maintenance of legal order
is ono of nv first duties. and see with lively
satisfaction that the unanimous wish of the Depu-
ties Of France is united TO mine-that the entire
force of the laws should be opposed to hose de-
pIorable excuses. The harmony of tile different
Powers Of the State, on which depend as you
do, is the most efficacious means Of strengthen
ing the whole empire, and Of giving to my Go

attempts with all the energy that France has
right to expect The heroic bravery Of the troops
Of the line. and Of that part Of the National
Guard of Lyons which fought with them, merits
the gratitude Of the country. and | am anxious to
