OCT. 30. THE NATIONAL REGISTER. STATE PAPER. It was an assertion which might lead the public into error, and real dered it necessary for the Committee to explain, tn hint o as their organ, what passed in the bureanx of the Cham ber on the sub ject of that plan of law. It was, he repeated, in V e name of that Committee, that he now came to give this explanation. Never were opinions more unanimous than those of the bureaux relative to the unsold property of emigrants, and also with regard to the discourse by which the plan of the law was introduced. They all united in the generous views of the King, and in his sentiments respecting those French men who are the objects of the law. Some of them went even far ther than the law. and spoke against the exceptions which the pru dence of Government prescribed to the general principle. The same unifttrmity of opinion, however, existed in tl:e bureaux tvith regard to the discourse of the Mitiister of state, M. Ferraod. All demanded a censure of that discourse ; several dent still far ther. The Committee, faithful to the spirit of its constituents, .displayed in the discussion of the law the same uniformity of prin ciple which had existed in the bureanx. It was unanimous as to all the principal enactments of the law ; and equally so as to the ens- Hire of the Minister. Such were the facts of the ease, which it was important that !I France shool(1 know. They contlite the assertion of the jutirmilist. Jtut %%lint the Committee had char:zed hint (M. Soupiest) to propose 1 1 ' to the Chamber on this delicate point, would settle public opinion still more, and probably prevent every kind of mistake; it was, that the Chamber should re•consider its dNision, relative to the distribution of the •peech of M. llesloch, the Reporter, which was iofluenced by motives totally different from those ascribed to it ; - and should now vote the distribution of six copies each of the re- i port of the Committee. The Committee will not notice the injurious insinuations of the journalist against its reporter. The chuacter and conduct of M. 1, illedoch were tar above such miserable attacks. Constantly at- I tartled to his conutry and ii King,, lie braved fir them duns eons death. Calumny could not stain the reputation or one of !' the most estimable of their colleagues ; hut Government will, doubtless, not suffer that the Chamber should ever have reason to repent o( their saving consented to a mmentat y restiictiou of • the liberty eat the Press.

Bait they are at the same time convinced, that it is the interest of all parties concerned, to postpone the general a.sembly of their Plenipotentiaries, till the period when the questions on which it will be their duty to pronounce shall have attained such a degree of maturity, as that the result may correspond to the principles of public law, the stipulations of the Treaty of Peace, and the _last expectations of contemporaries. The formal openin of the Con. gress will therefore be adjourned to the Ist of November, and the aforesaid Plenipotentiaries natter themselves that the labours to which the intervening period shall be devoted, by fixing ideas and conciliating opinions, will essentially advance the great work which k the object of their common mission.
