ANTIQUITIES OF TENNESSEE.
FROM TUE NASHVILLE OHIO.
On the farm of Turner Lane, Esq. 6
miles south-ea6t of Sparta on the wa
fers of the Caney Fork of Cumberland,
ivud on other fartns adjacent, have lately
been found, small graves, sunk into the
earth from one foot to eighteen inches
below the siirfi*cc\ they arc about ton
inches broad and eighteen inches long
having a flag limestone rock at each of
the ends antlskles, and covered with the
same species of. rock. In these graves
nre found scull bones, about three inches
in diameter, nearly sound ; the other
bones being proportionally small. Be
tween two and three hundred of these
graves have been discovered. In eve
ry tomb, yet opened, was found a small
black earthen pot, about one pint in ca
pacity, containing a small conck-shell,
undccayed, ofa gray color on the exteri
or and red within, and as transparent as
this species of shell is usually found.—
The pot, when broken, exhibits numer
ous white specks of round shining parti
cles.
It is a matter of striking curiosity,
that there is not to be found, in the
neighborhood of this place, any lime
stone of the same species with that of
which these tombs are constructed.
In the vicinity of the place where
these graves are found, there are the
vestiges ofa large town, having parallel
streets extending east and west. The
land they are upon is covered with as
large timber as any in the neighbor
hood. The sutures of the heads of these
skeletons are closed, and as sound and
solid as the other parts of the sculls.
At Mr. Anderson’s, two miles and a
halfin a south-westwardly direction from
the farm of Mr. Lane, were found other
skeletons of the same dimensions, in
tombs constructed upon the same plan,
and of similar materials. Oe.e at least,
it is said, was observed to have teeth
and all the bones belonging to the human
body.
The, facts above stated by Mr. Lano,
of White county, who has seen the skel
eton very often ; by his son, Jacob A.
Lane, Esquire, of Sparta, in the same
county ; and by another son, Alexander
Lane, Esquire, a student at law—who all
say they can be verified by all the inha
bitants in the vicinity of the farm of Mr.
Lane Mr. Lane, the father who is a man
of observation, gives it as his decided o-
pinion, that these are the skeletons of
adult persons. He founds his opinion
upon tlje solidity of the bones of the
heads, and also upon the fact, of the
sutures of the sculls being entirely clos
ed and solid.
The trees growing where they were
found, are of as great size and age as any
in the surrounding forest. Both at Mr.
Anderson’s and Mr. Larie’s are many
extensive circular elevations of earth,
raised two or three feet above the com
mon surface, arranged in order, having
the very appearance of once populous
towns upon which are standing large
trees; on one of them, a poplar of five
feet diameter at least. The small graves
1 at Mr. Lane’s are arranged ; but at Mr.
Anderson’s there is a large burying
ground full of them, without any orJer
as to position. That the bones are hu
man, Mr, Lane thinks there can be no
doubt, and that they are not the bones of
children, he thinks unquestionable.
The conck-shei'Js, it would seem, must
have been brought from the borders of
the ocean; as there arc non such to be
found either in the rivers of Kentucky
or those of this state ; and, it would also
seem, that they must have been bro’t
hither immediately before their deposi
tion in these vessels. In a few years,
they probably would have been lost or
broken to pieces, had they remained un
buried. That the animals the skeletons
belonged to drank water, and were not
sucklings, is intimated by the water ves
sel at the head of each skeleton. The
rocks which enclose them, are thin blue
limestone, and not of that neighborhood
originally, all the limestone in the vicini
ty being of a grey color. Here is a
mystery that baffles conjecture, and puts
all experience at defiance. The pigmies
ofllerodotus, on the borders of Ethio
pia and the Red Sea, and those of Ho
mer in India, have always been treated
as fables, which, in the days of those
men, entered iiito most of their written
compositions. At this day, we must
outstrip credulity itself, to believe in a
real existence of pigmy men. How
could a nation of pigmy men, not ex
ceeding 10 inches in stature, build habi
tations, clear the forest, cultivate the soi
defend themselves against the ravages
of the hawk and eagle, the wolf and the
panther ? How live in a world of giants,
ouch as are mentioned by ancient writers
when the size and age ot men, bearing a
• Holy writ 4 ests the existence of giants.
just proportion to each other, far ex
ceeded those of the present day '! The
remains ot a gigantic race ur» not more
than 7 miles from the burying ground
ot these pigmies. Their skeletons are
not shorter than seven feet—frequently
above it. Figure, in imagination, one
of these skeletons covered with muscles,
&C. and distended by ordinary repletion
—place him on the side of the largest
man of the present day, and what would
be his comparative appearance l The
place where the larger skeletons were
buried, is covered with trees of no less
magnitude and age than that where the
smaller ones were fouud. They are,
therefore, brought to a simultaneous ex
istence, or at all events to periods not
very distant from each other. Was the
smallest child of a giant, of a size as di
minutive as that of the small skeletons ?
Did the Sumoiedc of America, whose
common stature docs not exceed four
feet, and whose female, it may be sup
posed, is still of inferior size, come hith
er from the north-eastern coast of Ame
rica, in company with the people of Scy
thia, remarked by all the writers of an
tiquity for their monstrous size ? Is it
possible that, in their passage through
the neck of laud which it is supposed
connects the two continents together,
those Scythians dragged with them some
of the dwarfish nations of north-eastern
America, whose descendants are now
found living within the arctic circles ?
and that these small skeletons are the
relies ofthe pigmy race, whose posteri
ty, by the genial warmth of a milder cli
mate, and the plentiful diet which it af
fords, have returned to the stature which
their immediate ancestors lost by the
migrations of their ancestors into the in
hospitable climates of the north ; which,
chilling the blood, diminishing the force
of its circulation, and rendering their-
supply of food precarious and unwhole
some, in the lapse ofa long series of a-
ges, reduced their primitive bulk ?
If this be so, the women, and the un
grown children of the first emigrants,
although beyond the age of infancy, and
not yet arrived at maturity, might not
have been of larger dimensions when
clothed with flesh than is indicated by
these, skeletons.
Let us look for conclc-shells on the
shore* of aortli-eaatern America, and
look there also for the sUtu'rc of those
who inhabit the mo=t north-wardly re
gions of these countries, and wc shall
perceived whether this conjecture has
the countenance of probability, and, if
not then let it be owned with candor
that many are the unsearchable ways of
Providence.
But, indeed, a conjecture may be of
fered, before we leave this subject,
which, to some, may possibly seem wor
thy of attention. The Egyptians, in an
cient times, worshipped a great number
of animals, and, among others, the Ibis,
the Hawk the Cat, the Dog. In what
ever family a cat died, every individual
of that family cut off his or her eyebrows:
but, if a dag died, the whole family sha
ved their heads, and, in fact, every part
oftheir bodies. The cats, when dead,
were carried to sacred buildings, and,
after being salted, were buried in the
city Buhastes. Of the canine species,
the females were buried in consecrated
chests, which ceremony was also observ
ed with respect to the Johncumen. He

The Hindoos, says the Abbe Dubois, 1
pay honor and worship, less or more so
lemn, to almost every living creature,
whether quadruped, bird, or reptile. He
then gives along list of the worshipped
animals, beginning with the Ape, and
including the dog and other animals.
The Ape is the class of animals which
receives the highest honors. The strik
ing resemblance which the Hindoos re
mark, between this animal and man, in
exterior appearance and physical rela
tions, was the first cause of the great
reverence in which they held him. 2d
Dubois, 21G. The % orship ofthe great
Ape Ilanumen extends over all the terri
tory of India, and especially among the
followers of Vishnu. His idol is every
where seen in the temples and other pla
ces frequented by the people. Ami it
is also frequently found in the woods
and under thick trees in f sart places
But particularly where the Vishnuvftes
i ti.n favnrile idol of Ilatiutncn is
have attained a degree of strength almost
too stable to suffer resistance. The ani
mal, whether ape or monkey and the
conck-shell, may have come from the
Gulf of Mexico, Cumana, or tho waters
of the Oronoko nnd the adjacent coun
tries, whither it is probable they came,
from the old world, with the superstition
which deified them. The sedulous anx
iety manifested for their preservation j
the care taken, in their burinl* to pro
vide a certain species of stone for the
coffin, nnd, for their future accommoda
tion, a water vessel and a dipper, are
circumstances which must have proceed
ed from some inviolable and indispensa
ble religions injunction—the very same,
perhaps, which governed the conduct of
the ancient Egyptians, and ofthe ancient
intermediate, and present Hindoos.

SITUATION OF FRANCE.
We give some extracts from the proceed
ings ofthe French Chamber of Deputies.—
The papers that we have received contain,
in fart, not a single Item of Interest, except
ing these debates. We have selected and
arranged, from a number of papers, only
those passages which arc the most interest
ing, as shewing the state of alarm which
seems to lie universal in the French capital.
Sucli is the disaffection, and sucli the insu
bordination prevailing there, that we should
not be surprised if the next arrival brought
us accounts of open rebellion. The present
monarch of France is a very prudent and
discreet sovereign, and if In- cannot maintain
himself upon the throne he may almost bill
adieu to the Bourbon dynasty.
The foliowing is an abridged translation
from the proceedings of the Deputies which
fill several Paris papers.—Com.Adv.
TRANSLATED fORTHE COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER
CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES—June 5.
The session commenced at half past one.
Mr. Ih IVendtl, secretary, read the pro
cess verbal ofthe sitting of day before yes
terday. This was hardly terminated, w hen
six or cij’lit persons rose at once to speak up
on it. Mr. Camille Jordan proceeded. Be
fore. proceeding to deliberate, said he, it is
necessary to assure ourselves whether the li
berty of this assembly exists, either within
these walls or without; whether suitable
measures have been taken by tbs govern
ment, not only to prevent the.scandalous ex
cesses which were committed day before
yesterday,hut to punish the authors of those
excesses ; for this only can give us tranquil-
lily for the future. Without doubt the sull
ied is delicate ; hut the dignity of the na
tional representative is deeply concerned.—
In England, when an outrage is committed
towards a member of Parliament, all delibc
ration is suspended till the outrage is repair
ed. I expect no less from this assembly,
and venture to believe that those who have
not been insulted will lie the most determin
cu in* obtaining satisfaction far the insult.
Particular circumstances determined me
to ascend this tribune, first in order. Many
facts have fallen under my observation. I
have been the careful witness of them, nod I
can speak of them with impartiality, since I
know hv my own experience the terrible
consequences of an outrage committed upon
the national representation. Aftera lapse of'
twenty year?, I heboid rived the scenes
which preceded the lUlii Fructidor. It was
thus that groups surrounded the place of
our deliberations ; hut the disorder was less.
Men posted to attack us were subjected to
their leaders, nnd preserved some appear
ance of decency. They insulted us; hut
they did not as was done day before yester
day, proceed to open acts of violence. To
change public opinion is a vain attempt. Se
veral journals have given a false representa
tion of the whole, with the approbation of
the tribunal of the censors of the press. It
has been boldly asserted, that an immense
crowd of people surrounded the house of
deputies, and received with -transports of
joy the adoption of (lie first article of a pro
ject ofa law. It has been said, that two
parties bad been arranged in hostile array a-
gainst each other, ami had been restrained
by the public force. No, gentlemen, that is
an imposture which should not be suffered
to extend to our provinces. It is not true
that two parties have been arranged against
each other; but a single party came, to insult
the deputies of the nation, and to give itself
up to the most enormous excesses. A scene
had taken place some days before. A de
puty had been received with applause, and
accompanied home by a number of young
people. This is not foibidden by any law :
it is, however, by tacit consent, and I shud
dered at it myself. The hostile party have
not confined themselves to the consideration
of this as the triumph of opinion of a single
deputy. They have gone so far as to com
mit violence upon oilier deputies. These
outrages commenced the day before yester
day, upon the person of Mr. Chanvelin, and
continued in the last sitting upon many oth
er members, who will succeed me in this
tribune. These men were not made up pro
miscuously from the populace. They ap
peared to belong to tlie same corps, and to
come from and return to the same place.
They violently cried live the King, and tried
to compel all who were passing to join in
the same cry, and to prevent them from cry
ing lire the Charter. Every one must see
that these outrages were committed in the
very presence of an armed force, and In no
way restrained by it. It was feared that
there might he found among the guilty, pow
erful ami authorized persons.
These are the facts, and which will be
confirmed by those who will succeed me in
this tribune. After outrages upon the Roy
al Majesty, there arc none more serious than
those against the national representatives.—
YVliat respect can you enforce for the laws,
if the national representatives are not re-
out of the larger vessel. Should this j S p ec ted ? What respect cah the government
conjecture be found worthy of adoption-j hope for if such excesses remain unjmuish-
the evidence of Hindoo ancestry will cd ?
Abound, the favorite idol of Ilamuncn
found almost every where. The sacri
fices offered to it usually consist ofthe
simplest productions of nature ; aud, in
parts frequented by Apes, devotees are
often seen who give them part of their
food, and consider it a meritorious deed.
The sculls and other bones described
by Mr. Lane may be the bones of sacred
animals, buried by a superstition not dis
similar to that ofthe Hindoo and Egyp
tian ; and, being not more than 20 miles
from the place where tiie threc-faced im
age was found, both may have been de
posited by tha same religious notions.
The conck-shell, left in the small water
vessel, indicates an intent to provide tor
the accomodation of some animal who
could use the conck for dipping water
I demand that all deliberation be suspend
ed, till the ministers coine to this tribune to
give nil explanation concerning the excesses
committed day before yesterday ; and above
all, the measures which have been taken to
bring the culprits to justice. It is impossi
ble tlut they should not have sufficient in
formation—-a report has been made to the
military authority ; I demand that it may
be comMunicuted to us.
Mr. L i Fitts, I rise, gentlemen, to add n
fact to support the opinion and the conclu
sions of Mr. Camille Jordan. 1 nm going to
read a letter written by Mr, Lallemaiiil, fa
ther of the young student of law, shot by
one of tlie royal guards, near tiie place of
Carousel.
“ Sir—Yesterday my son was killed by a
soldier of the royal guard, and to duy he is
defamed by the “ Drapcan Blanc,” by the
“ Qliotulieiine,” and by the “Journal of De
bates.” I owe it to his memory, to hi* be
reaved mother, and to mvselfi to repel the
statements of these Journal's. 'Tlie statement
is false. My soil did not attempt to disarm
the soldier of the guard. He was walking
without arms, when he was mortally wound
ed from behind. Such is tlie truth. It will
result from the prosecution of the murderer.
(Signed) LALLEMAN1).”
Gentlemen, this letter was sent, to the se
veral journals. The. Censor of the press re
fused the insertion of it, [Here was a con
siderable interruption, a gloomy silence on
the right and the benches of the ministers.
Many deputies raised their hands, and by
their words and jesturea, expressed their
horror and indignation.]
Mr. I,a Fitte, continues—Gentlemen, ve
ry worthy’ citizens of Paris, have addressed
a petition in which they testify the facts as
stated in the letter of Mr. Lallcmand. This
petition is not long, I will read it to the
iionsc.
From the right—no ! no!
From the left—read' silence 1
The president spe.ms in a low voice to
Mr. La Filte, who waves the reading of the
petition, hut states several facts fully con
firming the letter of Mr. Lallemand.
Mr. Le.vtgncur makes a long address and
states in substance, that in tlie crowd young
Lallemand was heard to cry, vive la charter!
that lie was accused of wishing for a revolu
tion, ami immediately received his mortal
w >» 'ml. Mr. Lcsugncur further continues
that he and several other deputies were sur
rounded by a crowd of people, who appear
ed not to belong to the lower class, and who
were armed with large canes pointed with
iron ; that they were told that to cry, vive
la charter, was seditious; and they were com
pelled to cry, vive le Roi ! They were seiz
ed by the collars, their clothes torn, and
were otherwise very ill treated.
Mr, Sivard Bnileitv. and Cnsiniir Per
rier, followed with simitar statew»*.nU>
Mr. Benjamin Constant. I shall say no
thing relating personally to myself; hut I
shall speak of facts concerning our Iionora
hlc colleague, M. La. Fayette.
On retiring from the sitting, day before
yesterday, I was informed that those who
attacked Mr. Chanvelin the day before, were
preparing for a simillar scene. A woman
told me, “ caution M. La Fayette that he
keeps upo* Ids guard. They are watching
fur him,” A young man of tho group who
was watching for M. La Fayette, was heard
to say, we make him cry, live the King.
M. Keratry. I was passing the street of St,
Ilonore. At the bridge of Louis 1(1,1 heard
many cries. Among others, Live the King
by himself. No charters. I was ordered to
withdraw, and was abused and injured be
cause my retreat did not appear sufficiently
precipitate. I showed my medal as a na
tional representative. They laughed me in
tho face’ treated me as a rluhbist, and order
ad me hack to the rlttb.
Mr. Mecliin said, Mr. Chauvelin had been
grossly ill treated
The Keeper of tlie Seals, It is proposed
to suspend all deliberations. It becomes my
duty to ascend this tribune to give all necos
sary security. It is proper at first to distin
guish between the interior and the exter
nnl police of the house. I charge myself
with what belongs to the exterior police’
shall confine myself to this general fact.
There have been collections in which th
public tranquility has been disturbed, and
hitherto they have been spoken of in an in
complete and partial manner. The contrast
of opinions in this house, the heart of our
discussions ought to occupy France: hut
you know the whole gentlemen; both befor
and since the session every thing has bee
but into operation to scatter suspicion abroad
From the left—it is you ; you yourself who
lave done it.]
Lately in a discourse, to which I replied
an appeal was made to the youth. It it
thus, gentlemen, that the general irritation
which has been manifested, has been excited
M. De Chauvelin was conducted home by
throng who uttered cries of Live the Charter!
Live Chauvelin! The procurator of th
King went to tlie honorable gentleman, and
it is difficult to conceive why be should refuse
to furnish to the cause of justice the informa
tion which he has just communicated. Wc
know nothing of it. Mr. Chauvelin said no
thing of it to the procurator of the King.
As to the members of this Chamber who
have been insulted, an inquest shall be insti
tuted with firmness and impartiality, and the
guilty shall he pursued and punished.
In reference to tin lamentable transaction
and presumes there is no further serious
cause for fear.
'"Mr. Demaraty represents the royal guard
ns having mixed with the crowd in citizens
dresses, armed with pointed runes, joining
the excesses, encouraging the insults to
the deputies, and aiding the soldiers of the
polite, who arrested only the advocates of
Uie constitution, though the ministerial party
were the aggressors.
Mr. Benjamin Constant, after many inter
ruptions and' much confusion, proceeds at
considerable length on the disturbed state of
affairs, w Inch |ic attributes to the |uirliality
nnd tyranny of the ministry. Among the
mob the ministerialists rained the cry of
down with the charier—Irt-us avenge the
blood of the Duke of Berri, in tlie blood of
the liberal.!.
After much confusion and frequent calls
for the vote, and fur adjournment, nnd much
mutual recrimination, the session dosed at 7
’clock, the principal members of the oppo
sition having refused to join in the decision,
and left their seats.
Putts, June 7.
TUMULTS IN PARIS.
I have endeavored to collect from the best
sources those facts which are most impor
tant in the actual crisis, and the following
statements will be found correct, at least in
their general outline. Of some particular
occurrences 1 have myself been an eye wit
ness :
It will be recollected that M. de Chauve-
lin’s vote in favor of Camille Jnurdnn’s a-
mendincnt, or rather his new project res
pecting the Law of Elec ions, gave a majo-
ty of one to the Cote Gauche. From that
moment, the Ultra-Liberals seized every op
portunity, and employed every art, to im
prove so unexpected an advantage. The
riuinph was considered tun important to he
nssed over without some strong and deci-
testimoriies of popular feeling, and ae-
nrdingly the next day the number oftheir
nrtysans outside the Chamber was anginen-
dby several hundreds. The instant M. dc
Chauvelin, after the adjournment of the
Chamber,opponredin his sedan chair, shouts
were raised of “ Vive In Charte I Vive Chau-
elin I” aud mutual congratulations passed
between the crowd and their faithful Repre-
jenlative. To embellish the scene with the
plcndor and fascination of popularity, (he
incorruptible Deputy was escorted in a kind
of civic triumph to his house Rite Borde
reau, in the Chaussee d’Antin, a distance of
more than a mile,by nearly 200 young men,
who were honored with the title of the. “ Pa
triotic Deputation.” The cry of “ Vive
Chauvelin I Vile le Depute lidcle ! Vive la
Charte I” was frequently raised on the way ;
hut it ivns remarked, with general satisfac
tion, that the Deputation was joined by ve
ry few. An alarm being thus given to lHi
tt lends of constitutional order, they muster
ed in considerable numbers ou Thursday,
and, notwithstanding the efforts of the Ultra
Liberals, the cry of “Vive la Charte I” was
completely overpowered by that of “ Vive
ic Roi.” O.i Friday the contest was renew -
il with redoubled numbers and exertions on
both aides, and did not terminate without
blows and gross personalities. On Saturday,
the guard of the Chamber of Deputies, com
posed of veterans, was doubled, and the
gendarmerie in attendance was considerably
reinforced, particulary in cavalry. An ex-
mrdinary number of Commissaries of Po
lice and Peace officers were stationed on the
put, and detachments of the Royal Guard,
both horse and foot, were kept in reudiucss
fur immediate service. The Liberals were
mt inactive in their preparations; for, be
sides tlie invitations sent at a meeting held
by their ringleaders to their partisans, on
Friday night, to co-operate in full force the
following day. written placards were posted
up in tiie streets adjoining tlie Medical and
Law Colleges, (Let Ernies de .Medicine et
de Droit) calling upon the students to come
forward in support of national liberty’ against
the machinations and violence of a perjured
aristocracy.
At two o’clock many hundreds were ns-
embled, and before five the multitude was
so great, that considerable numbers, who
could not keep their places in front of Inc
Palais Bourbon, were obliged to take new
situations on the Pont Louis XVI. and
many were driven by the gendarmerie to
La Place Louis XV'. The moment it was
Ascertained that the first article ofthe law
of elections had been carried by a majo
rity of five, the favorite cries of each parly
re-commenccd : the Royalists were anim
ated with their recent victory, anil the Li
berals rendered desperate by their defeat.—
It was evident, however, that the former,
particularly in front ofthe Palais Bourbon,
and on the Quay d’Ortty, out-numbered
their opponents. In that quarter groupcs
fought in groupcs; the weapons were, in
general, canes and sticks with ferrules, and
the wounded were numerous. The crowd
collected by this time, about six o’clock, be
yond the Pont Louis XVI. was immense.—
The contest was renewed between the par-
til's, though certainly with less exasperation,
and cries were distinrtly heard of “ A has
less Missionaries I” |‘A has les Pretres!” “ A
has I’Aristocracie I” The gendarmerie, re
inforced by the royal guard, and a strong de
tachment of dragoons, belonging to the na
tional guard of Paris, continued, however,
to do their duty. Several charges were
made upon the main body of the rioters,
which was at length broken and dispersed,
aud wh<1 foil in the struggle. On rising hj
Irvrlled iiis piece and shot the nlniMint ®
he side, under the left bresst. The wound
was fatal. He was conveyed to a house Mr
Ruede Chartres, und from Ihence to his fa
ther’*, a seedsman; in Rue Petit Carrean,
where he expired at 10 o’clock. Hi» ninia
was Lallenianl; he was a student of law, and
only 28 years old. It is reported that, be too*
a considerable share in the. disturbance* ,
w hich occurred last year in the Lus^njtrtu-g
gardens, and in the subsequent affair of Pro
fessor Bavoux.
Seven persons, who struck the gender*
merie with sticks during these disturbances,
and eleven accused of raising seditious cries,
are now in custody. A Cabinet Council at
tended by all the ministers, waa held at too
Garde dcs See aux’s, on Saturday, and con
tinued its deliberations several hours. One
of the results was, an ordinance ot the Pre
fect of Police, published on Sunday morning,
which prohibits all public meetings, consis
ting of more than three persons, and enjoins
infliction ofthe severest punishments as in
cases of rebellion, according to the article ot
the penal code.
Sunday passed over quietly. The Cham
ber of Deputies not meeting, an opportunity
was given for a renewal of the disturbances in
that quarter.
On Monday a vnst multitude assembled,
the greater part close to the bridge in La
Place Louis XV. and the usual seditious
cries were, raised. Tlu: measures, however,
taken by government, were so very prompt
and decisive, that, in less than ten minutes
after the breaking up ofthe Chamber, tho
whole body was dispersed. A nurty, con
sisting of about three hundred, who had es
caped by the Rue ltivoli, entered La ltuo
Itoyale, and, passing through La Place V vn-
dorne and La Rue de Puix, proceeded along
llio Boulevards, in the direction ofthe Fau
bourg Saint Antoine. They were ovei taken,
however, at (he onteranre, by detachments
of the gendarmerie and chasseurs of the royal
guard, and nearly forty were secured, and aro
now in. custody In the evening, at 7 o-
clotk, another party entered the Palais Roy
al. The shops were instantly shut, and order
being restored by the exertions ofthe gendar
merie and the national guard, the garden ami
the galleries were cleared, and the Palais
guarded until midnight, by upwards of ono
thousand troops. Severn! severe contests
took place the same night in different parts
of Paris, and numbers were severely wound
ed. In all these distui bailees the interferenco
of the police proved successful in re-estab
lishing tranquilly. Yesterduy the public
peace was preserved in every quarter. The
line of conduct tatlie pursued by the go
vernment, lias been happily marked out by
the intemperance, precipitation, and arro
gance of I he I Jbernl* themselves ; aod, if tha
ministry and the majority of the Chamber oC
Deputies, continue firm and united, Franco
is sated from the impending horrors ofa re
volution, and Europe relieved from the fe
verish state of disquietude nnd alarm witU
which it has been tormented for the last
three years.

The Paris Journals of Saturday last have
arrived this morning. In the Chamber of
Deputies on the preceding day, the pending
debate on the article of the Election Law
was again resumed. An amendment pro
posed by M. Boin, tending materially to
modify the tenor of an enactment in (ho
original projet, was adopted by a majority
of 119. It was insinuated by a speaker of
the Cole Couche, that this amendment ema
nated from the ministers, who, seeing the
necessity of yielding in some points, had
secretly negociated its being proposed. This
was distinctly denied by the keeper of the
seals, in the name of himself and colleagues.
In the course of the discussion, some acri
monious digressions took place. IVLdeGi-
rarding apostrophized the law as “hideous
in the eyes of the nation ; it inspired univer
sal horror; because it had been already bap
tized with blood.” [Murmurs.] M. dc
Teyscers demanded the adjournment of the
discussion, until justice should he rendered
to the national representation for the injuries
it had sustained. The law, he vehemently
declared, is an outrage to the charter, and
is held in abhorrence throughout France.—
One hundred thousand citizens in vain de
manded the maintainance of the law of the
3d February, 1817. Yon know the result.—
Men in disguise have assaulted the deputies
and knocked down citizens. Have the guilty
been seized ? Doubtless some of them are
considered to have acted in a becoming man
ner. It is thus, as at I.yons, aggressions re
main unpunished. The police introduced

M. D'Argenson.—“The speaker is in or

which has taken place, of peaceable sub
jects.”
M. La fitte.—“ I have it in my power to
prove it. [A voice to the left—“ civil war
and assassinations are preparing.”]
