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 rod : Eu. G5, G6, kc. 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. J. H. VMUhUi.W Nkw-York, July 2j. 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. From a work published by the Academy of Science in Paris, it appears that Pantl contains 711,000 inhabitants, of which 2.0,000 are not domiciled. The average number of birth* annually is 21,000, and of these the purport ion of male to female is twenty-five to Iwcnty-lbur. The consumption of bread, nnnually'is 118,000,000 killugrains : of oxen 70.000 ; of heifers 0,000 ; of calves 78,000 ; of sheep 84,000; of stvine 72,000 ; of eggs 74,000,000 ; of pigeon* 900,000 ; of fowls 1.200.000 ; of wine 870,000 hectolitres. which has deprived the unfortunate Lalle- and the Liberals appeared divided into two mand of his son, it belongs to the common course of justice, which will be left to itself with all the independence of which it has need. All the facts recited, are not sufficient to justify the proposition of Mr. Camille Jordan. There is security for all; we are responsible for it, and it would be unworthy this house to give the signal of public a- larm Mr. Manuel follows in an address of con siderable length, and much severity. He states, that serious disturbances had taken place, endangering the public safety, the. na tional representation, and the individual safe ty of the members; that the conduct of mi nisters was partial, deceptive and tyrannical. He inveighs particularly against the arbitra ry control of the press, >ai'lies, one of which was forced to retreat y (he side of the river, towards the Pont Royal, and the other by the Rue Rivoli, as far as the vAng of the Thuilleries inhabited by Monsieur. The gate of the Thuilleries, and tlie gardens, had, in the mean time, been closed, nnd the guard doubled. The two parties which had been separated in La Place Louis XV. appeared, nearly at the same moment, at the opposite entrances of the Carousel, but were prevented from ef fecting a junction, by the vigilance and ac tivity of the royal guard, which had been distributed in strong parties. They succeed ed, however, in rallying a body of about 50 orGO, and the shouts of “Vive la Charte!” were reiterated in front of the Palace. One ofthe ringleaders, who had hcen seized, was Mr. Laine follows on the side of the min-1 almost instantly rescued,and an attempt was. ___ r 'retry; accrues the opposition of virulence,'made to disarm the soldier ", bo held him, several detachments of cuirassiers, provoked From one of tlie latest London Papers. 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 the troops—[Here be was interrvipted by loud clamors, and cries ot—speak to the a- mendmeni.] M. D'Argenson.—“The speaker is in or der : lie lias a right to notice the massacre which has taken place, of peaceable sub jects.” M. La fitte.—“ I have it in my power to prove it.
