GENTLEMEN, PEERS, AND DEPUTIES Under the
grief which Expresses me, deprived of that dearly
beloved son whom considered destined to replace
me on the throne, and who was the glory and sup
port OF my old age, have deemed II imperative 10
hasten the moment OF your assembling around me.
| We have together great duty to fulfil When ii
shall please God TO call me to himself il Is recessa
| ry that France and the constitutional monarchy be
| secured against being for moment exposed TO any
| interruption of the royal authority. You will,
therefore, have to deliberate upon the measures
quslte Tor preventing, during the minority OF my
beloved grandson, this immense danger.
"The calamity that has befalen me does not
render me ungrateful to Divine Providence, which
still preserves to me my children, worthy OF all my
| tenderness and OF the confidence of France.
Gentlemen, let now secure the repose and
safety of our country AT later period shall call
upon you TO resume your accustomed labOrs rela-
tive to state affairs"
The following is the address of the Chamber of
Peers to Louis Philippe, in reply to the speech from
| "Sre,-The Chamber comes to unite its griefs
| with that Of a King, with the despair of mother
and venerated Queen, and with the mourning of
| nation. A great misfortune has fallen upon us.
| That prince whom your care and your example had
| formed for the glory and happiness of France, to
whom situations so difficult and circumstances
| diverse had given the education of experence-who
grew up in respect for the laws and in love of his
! country-whose vaor on the field of battle our sol
diers were proud of, and whose wisdom when he
took part in our councils we ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
prince has been torn from us so suddenly that we
] can scarcely believe that he whom we loved TO see
by the side OF his father is there more: Hpaternal
grief admits not of consolation, il is duty for us TO
say what ought to sustain the courage and consistency
which have never abandoned the King in the most
severe trials of his lite it is duty for to pro-
claim what ought to maintain the nation In lts Sc
curty, even when 1t Is profoundly affected and at
fcted. Yes sire, this grief which unites all classes
| and all opinions in sentiment is undoubtedly
sad, but i is asoa powerful, proof Of the attach
| ,,ah haU .xr.d
| dynasty which she has called TO the throne,
| and which she has entrusted the preserva-
ton of her Liberties and her honor. Yes,
sire, in this public calamity it cannot be doubt
| ed that we all love the monarchy that we have
founded it is placed above the storms and discus
SONS inseparabe from the political existence OF
free people IL Is the liked point to which rights
and our affections are attached. 1t has now become
indispensable TO fill up chasm in institutions
Our confidence In the future has been betrayed
Providence has been severe towards us but we
should be unsraeful if we forget how frequently it
has preserved us. 1t wlprolong for many years the
life OF your Majesty. God still protects France, to
| which you are necessary; the royal child, whose
birth was source of public Joy, will grow under
your eyes; he will gather the lessons of your wis
dom. Your sons those sons of France, those faith
| full and devoted servants of the State, will con-
stantly set him the example of love of the country
and of the fuflment of duty. His mother, that
princess who shared our love and confidence with
| the husband for whom she for too few years was
the of happiness, will devote her life in rear
| ing the King of our children for the future welfare
of France. And the whole nation, surrounding him
with ITS love and Its hopes, will prove to HIM that II
is noble task to reign by the laws great and
powerful EMPIRE
| And the following is the answer of the King to
| that address,
''Messeurs les Paris-I am much affected by this
address,. find in IT the expression OF those senti-
ments with which my own heart is penetrated, and
new pledge for that union Of all the powers of the
state which is founded security for the present,
and guarantee for the future against the dangers to
| which they might have been exposed from the cruel
| blow has fallen upon me-"
Most OF the members OF the Chamber had joined
| the grand deputaton charged with the presentation
of the address. All the peers had Grape on their
arms and on the hits OF their swords.
| A decided breach is established between the ex-
| IRENE and centre gauchC and the party really hos
tile to the present cabinet is left without guide or
| direction.
1t appears now certain that the Conservatives
again mean to elect M. Sauzet 10 the presidency of
the Chamber; after which the Regency Bill will be
presented and passed, and the session, convoked for
| that special purpose, prorogued TO November.
The Chamber of Peers has unanimously voted an

of Oreans-namely, the removal OF the body from
| Neuily to the Cathedral of Notre Dame, took place

| be said that the whole of the population OF Paris
had collected on the road to see the procession.
