proceed. (General Demarcay-As long as you please.) Well, then, gentlemen, said M. C. I will tell you that your drift is understood--you seek to exasperate an armed soldiery and stimulate it to imitate those rebellious troops, who, in the south of Europe, dared to force constitutions on their lawful monarchs. (Tumult on the left--bravo on the right.) You wish to rouse the army to revolt by persuading it that it is oppressed. (Voices on the left-Dou you believe that it would not perceive this without the aid of the debates in this hall?) M. C. You wish to infuse into the army a spirit which it ought not to imbibe. (Do not supply it with motives then-tumults; interruption.) M. C.--You hope that the chamber will ratify, at least by its silence, your anarchical maxims. (Bravo

ment to the constitutional king.-He promised to terrupted him, whether he would be allowed to shew the candor and independence that characterize a true French citizen. He thought that the government had no right to deprive a soldier who had been made such by force, of the rank and pay which his services in the field had acquired for him. Proceeding afterwards to consider the present condition of the army, he described it as depressed discontented, unhappy and groaning under an arbitrary system of administration. (Here murmurs began to break forth from the right-the ministerial side of the chamber.) The general continued, and entered into details to prove his assertion. He thought that the army was discontented because it was unhappy; unhappy because the minister op pressed insupportably its most respectable members, by an arbitrary management. (Bravo--on the left, the opposition side.) Nevertheless, said he, the conduct of a minister who alienates the affections of the army is not investigated; responsibility is an idle word, though indeed, a minister is responsible not only to the king, but also to the nation and the army. (Cries to the right--tumult interruption.)

A great number of voices--Order!--Down! M. Cornet d'Incourt rushing forward to the tribune (pulpit from which the members speak) where the general remained immoveable-"I appear here to support a call to order."

Some voices on the left.--Respect at least the grey hairs of the general; listen; speak general.

M. Cornet d'Incourt thought that general Lavaux ought not merely to be called to order, but should not be suffered to proceed at all.

All the left--to the general. Continue, continue; we will listen to you.

The right and the centre--Order; down-get down from the tribune.

The general without being discomposed, persisted in maintaining that the ministers were not created, under a constitutional prince, to tyrannize in his name, and to cause his government to be hated, when he was celebrated for clemency and love for his people. Gentlemen said he, the nation consists of the people. A voice from the centre. We know but the king-say, of the king-Interruption.)

M. Lavaux. Gentlemen, take the trouble to listen-You will see that no one is more attached ́than I am to his king, but a legitimate king is not a people; he is the supreme head of the people; he is deemed the father of the nation; but to concenter in him the people and all their interests; to call him a people appears to me a thing entirely void of sense-(The orator is again interrupted) M. Girardin from his seat. It is indecorous to be thus interrupting the speaker at every word.

Scarcely had general Lavaux recommenced when M. Labourdonnaye mounted by his side and disputed possession of the tribune. Every body, said M. Labourdonnaye, is agreed that the army is, in itself, an obedient force; therefore a minister cannot be responsible to an army; therefore the orator ought to be called to order for having brought for ward the army; in a question which did not regard it. On the left-Yes truly! Oh! Oh!)

on the right.) You will not gain your end. One side of this assembly will be always ready to defend the principles of monarchy. (Redoubled cries of bravo.) I demand the call to order (vehemently supported on the right.)

M. Benjamin Constant-I oppose the call to order. The speaker who preceded me, asserts that the army is not under an arbitrary management; such is the opinion. Be it so. But there are many persons, many members of this chamber, and I for one, gentlemen, who think that such is the case.

M. d'Ambrugeac, asked to address the chamber, and ascended the tribune, in the midst of the clamors of the left, who objected to move a call to order against M. Constant. He insisted, in spite of all that had been said, that the army was happy and content, and paternally managed.

M. B. Constant. My opinion of the present administration of the war department is not ambiguous. When I speak of an arbitrary system, it is of such as is now complained of in so many petitions-the system of despoiling officers of the fruit of their long and glorious services; of cutting them off from the army without provision for support; an odious, unjust, illegal administration, which irritates more than all the speeches made here--speeches which it is now meant to stifle. [Murmurs on the right.] For the rest, gentlemen, I perceive what you mean. It is the freedom of debate that you propose to assail [Voices on the left-yes!--yes! on the right--It is time indeed.]

M. Constant. It is time, say you? and it is under a prince who wishes to see a deliberate chamber that such maxims are professed; such insinuations indulged! [Loud cries on the right.]

M. Labourdonnaye. I think there is a design to excite the army, by means of this tribune, to insurrection and the imitation of bad examples. This scheme has been adopted in an especial manner, since the unhappy occurrences that overwhelm the south of Europe. [Many voices on the left call M. Labourdonnaye to order.]

Messrs. Lavaux, Constant, d'Ambrugeac, the reporter, and M Labourdonnaye find themselves all in the tribune at the same time. The greatest disorder reigns in the assembly. The president rings his bell to restore order. General Sebastiani ascends the tribune also to make a call of order. General Demarcay anticipates him and begins to speak.

General Demarcay. If I were the enemy of the government and of the constitutional system, I should every day rejoice at what I see in the conduct of the gentlemen on the right.

M. Castlebajac thought the whole discourse of general Lavaux was censurable, because throughout, he had laboured to prove that the minister crushed the army under the weight of an arbitrary and bad administration. He (M. Castlebajac) maintained that the assertion was false. (On the left- From that quarter I hear every day violent proStill it is a thing known not only to the army, but positions; doctrines which alarm France; if you aim to all France.) Here, M.

M. Benjamin Constant. Gentlemen-general Lavaux has possession of the tribune. You cannot deprive him of his right to be heard.

M. Castelbajac begged his honourable colleagues to give a proof of moderation, and to listen to M. Lavaux.

M. Lavaux, resumed his speech. The noise was violant and incessant. His voice was drowned by the tones of the members in conversation. In vain did the president ring his bell. Such was the uproar that we (the reporters) could not catch a word

In addition to the instances to be found in our translation, we may quote such as the following.

M. de Labourdonnaye. At all times, gentlemen, and particularly during the revolution, when it was intended to establish licentiousness, much noise was made about liberty. I have said, with the min-of his long harrangue. ister, that, from the opening of the session, certain members have not ceased to provoke insurrection. (Turning to the left.) If only one among you, two among you, gentlemen, delivered these anarchical, incendiary speeches, I would keep silence as to the delinquency of individuals. But the case is that they are delivered every day, and by all of you. At the commencement of this session, you began by pronouncing eulogiums on our monarch, and now you end by culpable panegyric on your "heroic Spain."

M. Girardin. It is I, Girardin, sir, who used the phrase, heroic Spain, and I repeat it. (Great tumult on the right-order! order!)

M. Labourdonnaye-I cite the instance as one among a thousand acts of the most hostile aggression on the government. In speaking as you do, you set yourselves against the great majority of the nation. (The left-no! no! The right-yes! yes!) The orator, in continuation-You are at variance with the great royalist majority, which has discarded you.

M. Casimer Perrier-If, notwithstanding the evidence of facts, ministers regard us as conspirators, I say they do not do their duty. The keeper of the

M. Manuel-I flatter myself that by giving reasons--(we do not wish to hear them!)

On the 7th of March, prince Ypsilanti issued pro clamations, both to the inhabitants of Moldavia and Wallachia, and to the Greek nation in the other provinces of the Turkish empire.

These proclamations are drawn up in the most exalted language of poetry, in which he declares

himself to have been called upon by many thousands of his countrymen to undertake the work of their deliverance-describes the insurrection of all the Greek tribes as a revolution which has long been resolved upon, which has been preparing for many years by secret patriotic societies, and is now every where matured for execution; and, it is likewise asserted in them, that the enterprize has to expect the support of a great neighboring power.

ing ourselves worthy of our virtuous ancestors, and of the age, we hope to deserve their support and their aid, and many of them, partizans of our liberty, will come to fight by our sides. Let us march, friends, and you will see one of the first powers to protect our rights. You will see, even among our enemies, some who will turn their backs on them, and will join us, drawn on by the justice of our cause. Let them present themselves with sincerity, and our country will receive them into her bosom. What, then, holds back your powerful arms? The enemy is weak and without courage, without vigor: our generals are skilful, and the whole nation filled with enthusiasm.

Assemble, valiant and generous Greeks! Let the

At the same time prince Ypsilanti addressed a petition drawn up in the same style, to his majesty the emperor of Russia, and called on that august sovereign not to refuse his powerful support to the Greek nation, and particularly to the two principalities, which were exposed to great danger. As soon as the preceding intelligence was re-national phalanxes form-let the patriotic legions ceived at Laybach, his majesty, the emperor Alexander, was pleased to declare, that he could consider the undertaking of prince Ypsilanti only as an effect of the unquiet spirit which characterizes the present time, as well as of the inexperience and levity of that young man. But at the same time his majesty has resolved as follows:

"1st. Prince Ypsilanti is excluded from the Rus sian service,

"2d. It is notified to him that his majesty the em peror, entirely disapproves of his enterprize, and that he is never to expect any kind of support in it, on the part of Russia.

"3d. Express orders are given to general count Wittgenstein, commanding in chief the Russian roops on the Pruth and in Bessarabia, to observe the strictest neutrality in the troubles which have broken out in the principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia, and under no pretext whatever, to take any part in them, either directly or indirectly.

present themselves, and you will see the old colossi of despotism fall of themselves before our victorious standards. To the sound of our trumpet, echo will answer from all the shores of the seas of Ionia and the Egean. The Greek ships which, in time of peace, knew how to trade and fight, will spread fire and sword through all the ports of the tyrant, terror and death. What Greek friend will hear with indifference the call of his country? At Rome, a friend of Cæsars, shewing the bloody garment of the tyrant, roused the people to enthusiasm. What will you do, then, Greeks? You, whose country, stripped of her vestments, shews her wounds, and, with a broken voice, implores the help of her children? Providence, my dear fellow citizens, taking pity on our misfortunes, has so combined affairs, that, with little trouble and efforts, we shall be able to acquire, with liberty, every happiness. If, then, by an unpardonable indifference, we do not take advantage of them, the tyrant becomes more furious, will multiply his strength, and we shall be forever the most wretched of all nations.

"These resolutions are communicated to the Russian ambassador at Constantinople, with orders to communicate them to the Porte; and to confirm Turn your eyes, fellow citizens, and observe our the frank and open assurances given to it on occa- deplorable situation; see our temples defiled, our son of the late insurrection in Wallachia, baron Von children torn from our arms by our barbarous ty Strogodoff shall expressly declare that the policy rants for their shameful pleasure; our houses desof his majesty is, once for all, alien to all and every poiled; our fields devastated, and ourselves vile intrigue which may threaten the tranquility of any slaves.

ADDRESS TO THE GREEKS. Fo arms, for our country and our religion. The hour has struck, valiant Greeks. For a long time the people of Europe, fighting for their rights and liberties, invited us to follow them. They, although almost free, have sought, with all their strength, to increase their liberty, and thus all their happiness.

Our brethren and our friends are ready on all sides. The Servians, the Suliotes, and all Epirus, await us in arms. Let us unite with enthusiasm, our country calls us on.

Europe has its looks fixed upon us, and is astonished at our tranquility. Let the sound, then, of our warlike trumpet, resound through all the mountains-let the vallies re-echo the terrible din of our arms! Europe will admire our valor, and our trembling and debased enemies will fly before us.

by which we may still conquer, and thus avenge our country and our holy religion, from the profanation and the mockery of barbarians. Among ourselves, the most noble is he who would most bravely defend the rights of his country; and who most usefully serve it. The assembled nations will direct its friends, and to a supreme tribunal all our actions will be subjected.

Let us, then, all act with one mind. Let the rich sacrifice a portion of their wealth. Let the ministers of religion excite the people by their own example. Let the learned contribute by their useful counsels; and let our brethren, who serve foreign powers, either in a military or civil capacity, each take his leave of the powers whom he serves, and, all united, run the sublime and brilliant career which now opens to them. Let them each pay to his country the tribute which is due to her. Let us arm ourselves, without delay, with our ancient valor, and I promise, in a short time, victory, and, with it, every happiness. Where shall be found those mercenaries and vile slaves who would dare to oppose a nation combatting for its own independence? Witness the heroic efforts of our ancestors. Witness Spain, which, single and alone, conquered the invincible phalanxes of a tyrant.

Foreign Articles.

By several recent arrivals regular files of London papers as late as of the 18th of April have been received. The following is a brief summary of the most interesting things mentioned in them, and contains every matter of importance.

Great Britain and Ireland. Nothing important has occurred. The famous lord Castlereagh, by the death of his father, has changed his title and name to that of the marquis of Londonderry-and will also change his Irish seat in the house of commons for an English one, for which he is ordered to be returned. It was believed that the "Catholic relief bill" would be negatived in the house of lords by a majority of twenty or thirty votes. Mrs. Becher, the late famous play-actress Miss O'Neil, was lately presented to the king, and he (indeed, it is seriously said that he did) took three or four royal steps to meet her, offered her both his royal hands, and gave her a royal kiss! What a splendid affair!

manded of France the liberty of sending a large quantity of his troops into Spain. This not likely. But it seems that he is in no wise disposed to sup port "legitimate" authority in Turkey, which seems more convulsed by insurrections than at any for mer period. In regard to these, he affects a strict neutrality-but many believe that he is at the bottom of the rebellion against "his majesty" of Turkey. Perhaps, when the parties have sufficiently weakened one another, he will interfere and take the country under his "protection," after the man ner in which the British have the Seven Islands,

Mr. Forsyth, our minister to Spain, left Washing ton last week, on his way to an eastern port to embark on his return to Spain.

Gen. Jackson left New-Orleans for Pensacola on the 27th ult.

Spain. A conspiracy to bring about a counter. revolution was detected at Madrid about the 1st of April, before it was ripe for execution. It was disclosed to the government by a friar! The king's brother was at the head of it--he and many others were arrested and kept closely confined for speedy trial.

Naples. We have sundry bulletins and papers, relative to the occupation of the city of Naples, &c. by the Austrian troops. According to some accounts there was more opposition than we had hitherto believed, and others hold out the prospect that even yet in Naples, as well as in Piedmont, there is a considerable force in arms against the pacificators: but it is positively said that Pepe and other patriot chiefs have embarked for Malta,
