CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, Anti, 20. The Chamber having assembled, and some pre limistary business being dispatched, the Order of the Day was read fur resuming the discussion on the law relative to the Press. The 20th Article was read by the President as expressed in the original project. " Speeches delivered in either of the two Cham bers, as also reports, or other documents, printed by order of either Chamber, shall not be made a ground for action, either of defamation or To this article M. LAINE proposed to add the word opinions, fur the purpose of comprising in this privilege the opinions which a Member may not have delivered from the tribune, but which he 'night desire to make known by means of printing. The Keeper of the Seals combatted this prupo idiot', which lie very justly considered fraught with danger. Ills Excelimicy then suggested the erasure of the words, " either of d-Irtnatioir or insult." M. MANUEL conceived that the project vi Id be conceived in t, rim " Speeches delivered in either of the tw.• Cliarnic•rs, as also reports, &c. shall not be marl... grornio for any action, no more than the publication of these speeches, repots, or rather documents." M.CuVIEIt contended warmly against the danger of giving to Members of the legi-lature a power of pri • lug their opinious at their own discretion. In the progivss of the discussion the Keeper of the Seals, combatting M. LAINE'S proposi tion, remarked, that " frequently the Members of an assembly, who could out succeed in convitic ing their colleague% or inducing them to adopt their sentiments, seek to appeal to the nation, which has been detiornitiated our supreme justice and our arbitrary sovereign. I affirm, Gentlemen, that they who act thus, deviate from their duty as Deputies. I say more, I ray that they act in a disorderly manlier, in a revolutionary manner.—(.4 slight agitation.)—lf you grant them this dangerous in violability, they will quickly do what, iii times of disorder, minorities and alutosi all our assemblies have done—they will call on assistance from without, and by such means they will agitate those within. Every proceeding which would excite the action of time multitude is unconstitutional. and opposed to the nature of u representative Government— (Applause.)-1t must be said for the honour of France, that however disastrous may have been the results of the numerous assemblies which have pre ceded us—however vicious the mode which regu lated their formation—under whatever injurious au spices the members who composed them may have been sent, almost always the majority, the great majority was sound; and when this majority was free"--(Murmurs and interruption.) M. DE LA BOURDONNAYE—" What! the COD. vention itself ?" The Keeper of the Seals, " Yes, Gentlemen, and if the Convention had not voted under the points of poniards, France had not been afflicted by the crime of regicide."—/ Lively applause from the left side, and in the Tritinnes.i Ttiese marks of approbation were censured by the PRESIDENT, as being contrary to the Staining Order of the Chamber, which prevents every ex pression of applause or censure. The Keeper of the Seals then reverted to his argument on the amendment, and concluded by citing several passages hoot DE Lui.ste, to 'hew that by the laws of England u Member of Par- figment is responsible for whatever he may cause to be printed. After some further discussion, the amendment proposed by the Keeper of the Seals, for erasing the words, " either of defamation or insult," was adopted almost unanimously. The amendment of M. LAI N R was then submitted to the Chamber iu ■ new form, " Speeches pronounced, and opinions printed distributed in the Chambers."—This was rejected by u great majority, although sup ported by the extremes of b .th sides of the Chain. her. The same fate attended a second and third amendment proposed by M. MANUEL. The Chamber then determined, that on the following day it would take into consideration an amendment proposed by M. B. CONSTANT, In favour of Jourua. lona who shall publish an account of the speeches of Member., and Actiumlled. APRIL Several petitions were heard and determined. 'flue Order of the Day is the continuation of the discuss . on the project of the law for repressing the crimes of the Press. M. BENJAMIN CONSTANT proposed an addi- SCOTTISH HOSPITAL.

His 'Royal health was drunk with great applause. This "toast was followed by a bumper to her Royal Highness the Duchess of Clarence, and better health to her.--/ firma opplatso.l The health of the Duke of Montrose was also received with enthusimes.

The Nob!e Chairman then called the attar two of the company to the funds of the Instills tion, which he Ismented were inadequate to meet the claims made upon it.

Judging from the number of ladies who were hurrying yesterday morning iu crowds to the Court of Correctional Police, one might suppose that a case somewhat interesting, and perhaps scandalous, had excited their curiosity. In this opinion we were confirmed ; when following the crowd we perceived a lady not less young or lovely than any who were in Court, answer to the crier's summons, and piece herself with trembling on the bench of the accused. The eiecond person accused was a physician highly esteemed in his profession, and who was accused or bein g an accomplice with the lady its committing a violation of her marsiage vow. Some witnesses were heard, and particularly two feniale servants, who deposed to facts sufficiently explicit, at least, in appearance. The case was then postponed to Wednesday next, whets, we are informed a great number of letters will be produced in support of the prosecution. The husband, we understand, discovered his wife's infidelity by a very singular chimer.

The many applications fur loans of money which have been made at•the end and the beginning of this year to the Finance Department, chiefly by land owners, have sufficiently shewn (exclusively of many other circumstances) how necessary it is that by the approaching llth of June a fund should hr formed, from which owners of large or small estates, as well us inhabitants of towns, may obtain loans.

It sill be remembered that on Monday, when the discussion was ad jourtied, the Chamber bad advanced so far as to the 20:11 article. The discussion on this article finally closed by s resolution declaratory of the freedom of the Press in the publication of all speeches. reports, and other documents delivered in either Chamber. An attempt was made to exempt Members of the two Chambers from all responsibility attending the publicotimi of their opinions, but this ass forcibly combatted and wisely refused. In the sitting of Wednesday, a further tolditton ass given to the Liberty of the Press ; fur, by a resolution then adopted slaiost unanimously, it was declared that all bunalide reports of proceedings in the Chaittlwr of Deputies, although lint couched iii the precise words used by the Members, should be 'wrinkled.
