FRANCE. 



In this ill-fated eoinitry, a better, if 

 not a good, system appears to be likely 

 to taka place. Many of the enraged 

 and higotted emigrants have been re- 

 nsoved from tlie councils of the king, 

 and, as the earnest of more rational 

 nieasincs, the infuriated Chamber of 

 Deputies lias been dissolved, and a new 

 Chaml>cr called, agreeably to the follow- 

 ing royal ordonuancc : — 



Onloiimmce of the Kins;. 

 To all whom these presents concern, 

 health. — Since onr return to our states, 

 each day has demonstrated to us this truth, 

 proclaimed by us upon a soltmin occasion, 

 that equal tn the advantage of ameliora- 

 tion is the danger of innovation. We are 

 convinced that tiie wants and vows of our 

 subjects combine to preserve untouched 

 the (Constitutional CImrtcr, the basis of tlie 

 public good of France and guarantee of thu 

 general tranquillity. We have in conse- 

 quence judged it necessary to reduce the 

 Chamber of Deputies to the number deter- 

 miued by the Charter, and not to elect any 

 biit such as have attained the age of 4t» 

 years; but, to legalize this reduction, it is 

 indispensable again to convoke the Elec- 

 toral Colleges, in order to proceed to the 

 election of a new Chamber of Depuiics. 

 For this purpose we have ordained and do 

 ordain as follows : — 



1st, None of the articles of the Constitu» 

 tional Charter shall be revised. 



2d, The Chamber of Deputies is dis- 

 solved. 



3d, The nnmber of the Deputies of the 

 Department is fixed conformably to the 

 S6th article of the Charter, according to 

 the fable here annexed. 



4th, The Electoral Colleges of tha 

 Arrondis*ienients and Departments remain 

 such a£ they have been recognized, and 

 such as they were cemplpted by ourOrdon- 

 uance of tlie Cist of July, 1813. 



6tli, The Electoral Colleges of Arron- 

 disscnient will assemble September the 

 2.5th of the pre-enl year. Each of tlir'm 

 will elect a number of candidates, e(p!;ilt(> 

 the number of the Deputies of the Depart- 

 ments. 



Gtli, The Electoral colleges of Depart- 

 ments will meet October 4. Each of them 

 will choose at least half of the Deputies 

 among the candidates piesentcd by the 

 Colleges of .AiroudisEement. If the nuin- 

 berof Deputies of the Department !)o lui- 

 equal, the choice shall be in favour of that 

 portion which ought to be chosen among 

 th(; cjr.did.itei. Tiie Colleges of Depart- 

 ments who liave only one Deputy to name, 

 'vill liave tlie'liberty of electing him cither 

 in or out of the list of Candidates. 



7tli, I'veiy election, where iiicre than 

 one half of the members nf the College 

 sliuiild not avsist, will be null. Au abso-
