Electoral colleges elected a number of candidates equal to the number of deputies. Electoral colleges of the departments chose half of the deputies from these candidates and the other half were chosen freely.

Results

The Ultra-royalists won 350 seats. The parliament later became known as the Chambre introuvable.
