to the same horrors ofwhich Lyons mas been the

"SIRE-The Chamber of Peers has felt unani
NOUS desire of renewing to your Majesty under
the present serious circumstances the express
sion of it's invariable devotedness More than
once already the madness of factious men have
imposed the duty upon it, If their tanatclsm IS
not yet exhausted, if their criminal efforts have
just been renewed at least the sterile and san
culinary atrocity of their last acts attests more
than ever their impotence. Whatever attempts
Sire, they may make, they will never weary Ell
Their the civic courage of the National Guards,
or the intrepid zeal of the army, or the firm de-

particularly Of the Chamber Of Peers, which is
attached to your Majesty by a profound sense
of patriotism and social duty"
To this address the King replicd-"The Cham
Der of Peers has uniformly at every crisis we
have been destined to pass through testified the
same sentiments. This is great lesson to those
who so frequently have had the criminal audacl-
ty to renew the lamentable scenes which we
have just witnessed. 1t is again to the vaor
and perSe VeranCe Of our brave troops, and Ma.
tional Guards, that we owe our deiverance from
the dangers with which we have been threaten

the opinion which France entertains OF them
have seconded them to the utmost of my pow

has Just taken will add to the strength OF the 90
vernment; strength which is so necessary in
times when the factious are in movement IN
every direction, and will never abandon their
guilty hopes of renewing the calamities we have
at this moment to deplore. This hope, hoWev-
er, will be deceived, and the expectations of
France will not be disappointed am deeply
affected by the sentiments which the Chamber
of Peers has testified towards my person, and
wish it to rely upon continuance Of those
which bear towards it, and which are truly sim

incidents relative to this subject contained in
the Paris papers, are altogether false
The Minister of Public lnstructOn-Gentle-
men: The Government had already informed
the Chamber and the public, that the report
spread abroad, of an instruction at Belfort,
was completely false. shall (added the Minis

few words upon what has taken place in the ca
pital-( Profound Silence) The day before yes
terday, we made the Chamber acquainted with
the state of Lyons. The morning after we &C
qured the fullest certainty that these unfortu-
nate events had terminated in a manner the
most favorable for public order. we may now
affirm that all danger is over at Lyons Deplo-
serve to convince the country, that no person or
persons shall attempt with impunity to disturb
public order, or oppose the public force At the
moment when we acquired this certainty, scenes
of an analogous nature were beginning to be
acted in Paris. l say analogous, though they
were something Of different character. we
eXdected to find at Paris as at Lyons, an attempt
at nsurrection-a commencement of civil war.
