immediately employed to suppress every symptom of disorder; but the assertors of their national rights were so numerous, so united in spirit, and so encouraged by the resumption of the uniform of the National Guard, that after three days' 'severe conflict, and the loss of sixteen thousand lives, Paris was left entirely in the hands of the people. The king had withdrawn to Rambouillet; thither he was followed by General Geraud and an army of the National Guard. A negotiation commenced, which soon terminated in the abdication of Charles X. and the renunciation of all claims to the succession on the part of the Dauphin. General Geraud guaranteed to the late king a safe conduct out of France, both to himself and all the members of his family, and that the future government of the kingdom should provide liberally for their support.

The Chamber of Peers, and that of Deputies which Charles X. had attempted to dissolve, met at Paris, on the 3d of August, according to their original convocation; on the 4th and following days, they entered upon the transaction of such business as arose from the awful crisis in which they found themselves placed; they declared the throne vacant,-that the Constitution had been endangered, and that the Charter must be revised, to render it more safe from future attacks. In this revision the chief alterations are, the suppression of the sixth Article, which declared the Roman Catholic religion that of the State. It is now only declared to be that of the majority of Frenchmen; whilst the ministers of all Christian sects are henceforward to receive the stipends allowed by the public treasury.

Ini

tiative laws could formerly only begin with the king; they may now emanate from either of the three constitutional estates of the kingdom, with the exception of money-bills;-these, as in England, must originate in the Commons, or Chamber of Deputies. The duration of the Chambers is declared to be quinquennial; and Members are eligible at thirty, instead of forty years of age, as formerly. The people now exercise the elective franchise when twenty-five, instead of thirty years old.

The censorship of the press is abolished for ever. All the nominations and new creations of peers made during the reign of Charles X. are declared null and void, and the unlimited power hitherto possessed by the king to create peers, is to undergo a fresh examination in the Session of 1831. The king is declared to be "the supreme head of the State, and commands the forces by sea and land; makes treaties of peace, alliance, and commerce; nominates to all public employments; forms regulations and ordinances necessary for the execution of the laws, without the power either to suspend the laws themselves, or to dispense with their execution." (This clause dries up the fountain of mercy.) After this revision they offered the crown to Louis Philippe, Duc d'Orleans, whom they had previously nominated Lieutenant-general of the kingdom.

He

has accepted it; and on the 9th of August took the oath, in the presence of the Chambers, Court, and public functionaries, assembled in the palace, in the following form of words:

"In the presence of God, I swear faithfully to observe the Constitutional Charter, with the changes and modifications expressed in the Declaration of the Chamber of Deputies; to govern only by the laws, and according to the laws; to cause good and strict justice to be done to every body according to his right, and to act in all things solely with a view to promote the happiness and glory of the French people."

His Majesty then signed the Declaration, the Act of Adherence of the Peers, and the Oath; and having seated himself upon the throne, addressed the Chambers thus:

"Messrs. Peers and Deputies,

"I have maturely reflected upon the extent of the duties imposed upon me. I have the consciousness of being able to fulfil them by causing the compact of alliance, which has been proposed to me, to be observed.

"I should have ardently desired never to have filled the throne to which the national will calls me, but I yield to this will, expressed in the Chambers in the name of the French people,

for the maintenance of the Charter and the Laws.

"The modifications we have just made in the Charter, guarantee the security of the future, and the prosperity of France; happy at home, respected abroad, at peace with Europe, it will be more consolidated."

The king then left the hall amidst loud acclamations.

The feelings of the nation, except in La Vendee, appear to be in perfect unison with those of the Chambers and the inhabitants of Paris; and the government proceeds to execute its duties with ease and regularity.

It deserves to be recorded, that amidst all these tumults, private property and individual safety have been sacredly preserved. Public sentiment has been as powerfully and effectually directed to preserve private obedience to the laws as to prevent the public violation of them.

After the resignation of Charles X. the ministers who had involved him in these misfortunes fled to seek their own safety. Of these, two are certainly taken: M. Peyronnet and M. Chauteleuze. Various reports have been spread relative to Prince de

Polignac; the one that gains most credit at this moment is, that he has been taken at Granville as he was about to embark in a fishing-boat, in disguise, to come to England.

Charles X. and family, including the Duc de Bourdeaux, in whose favour it was attempted to reserve the succession, and whom the ex-king affects to call the King of France, having passed from Rambouillet to Cherbourg, embarked there on board two American ships, and arrived at Portsmouth on the 17th August; but being refused permission to land, they stood over to Cowes, where several of them went on shore. The ex-monarch and his son have since been permitted to debark. It is understood that their stay here will only be temporary.

ALGIERS.-The French have announced their intention of permanently occupying the city, and are making arrangements for the reduction of the territory of Algiers. The French troops there declared for the new government as soon as the news of the late transactions at Paris was reported to them. M. Bourmont is superseded in the command there, and M. Clauzel is appointed. his successor.
