FROM OUR PARIS CORRESPONDENT.
PARIS, NOVEMBER %, 1850.


/ Yesterday, Gen. GRAMMoNT's proposition, re-
newed from that which failed last year, to remove
the seat Of government from Paris TO Versailles
where it would be placed beyond the reach Of couu
d60aGin from the Democracy OF the metropolis
came up upon the committees report that the reso
lutions should be taken into consideration. The
Assembly decided, after discussion, that the resou.
lions should not be entertained, by vote of 43S
against 1913. e
M. CREToN also renews his proposition, rejected
last year, to repeal the decree Of Punishment pro-
nounced against the surviving members Of the two
Bourbon families. II know very well," said M.
CREToN, "shat Governments opposed to this pro-
position, and has the right to be and that il would
fain prevent all deliberation on the part Of the
Assembly on this subject, which it has no RICH,
to do. II was upon the order Of the day for
to-day. II is no longer 80. Why has il been re-
moved without the consent of the Assembly!
i insist upon an early discussion" The Minister
of the Interior declared that in the opinion of the
Cabinet, the proposition was untimely, and of a

in compliance with the terms of his surrender. In
violation of these terms, the formidable chieftain
has been retained captive in one of the stronghOlds
OF France, where he still remains. do not know
that the opportunity has ever occurred before for
me to stigmatze in the columns of the Intellgencer
the fragrant breach Of faith which this measure
fixes, will not say upon the French Government,
but upon the French. Not only did the Govern
ment of Louis PHILIPPE refuse to perform its
plighted word, but the Republic, in all its phases, the
Provisional Government the Commission Of Five,
Gen. CAvAIeNAc, and LOUIS NAPOLEON, have all
persisted in the same disgraceful policy. But
may be accused of unkind feeling toward France,
or at least of too strong desire to find the coun-
terpart here of our treatment of the unfortunate
Seminole chief, OcEoLA. remember stigmatiz-
ing, as it deserved, that treatment at the time oc-
Cured. 1t is, feel, an indelible stain upon our
annals. Let Gen. FABvIER tell the story against
France. He, Frenchman, and member of the
Assembly, will present the case in as strongly I'M
favorable yet strictly just light as the most anti
French prejudice could desire:
