At a late hour this morning, an express from Paris
arrived, bringing a copy of the report made to the Chamber of Deputies by the Commission charged with examining the accusation against the Ex-Ministers. It is very long, and concludes with the adop- tion of the following resolution.
" The Chamber of Deputies accuses of treason M. 51. de Polignac, De Peyronnet, Chautelauze, De Guernon Nauville, d'Haakey, Capelle, and De Montbel, Ex.minis- ters, who signed the Ordinances of the 29th July
For having abused-their power, with a view of annulling the elections, and de- priving the citizens of a free exercise of their rights.
"For arbitrarily and violently changing the institutions of the kingdom.
"For being guilty of a plot against the external safety of the State.
"For having excited a civil war, by arming the citizens against each other, and bringing devastation and massacre into the capital, and several other places.
"These are crimes provided against by article 96 of the Charter of 1814, and arti- cles 109, 110, 123, and 129, of the Code General; consequently the Chamber presents the above-named before the Chamber.of Peers.
"Three Commissioners from the Chamber of Deputies shall be named by secret scrutiny and majority of suffrages, to make all necessary arrangements to bring the -accusation to an end before the Chamber of Peers, to which this Resolution and all the proceedings shall he immediately addressed."
