PARIS, Fittinev Rvesiso.
Great interest is felt in the debate on the budget,
from the decided attitude of independence assumed
by a considerable number or deputies. The gavent•
ment is eager beyond measure to put an end deli-
berations, ut which even the tardy and faint reflection
given in the pow,: a re..(6,11 of the Moiiirioiir sets the
nation a thinking. You will have perceived from
the report of the sitting of yesterday, that in several
instances the committee, true to its declared intention
of adhering to its amendmen's, proposed the rejection
of the whole chapter, by way of answer to the Voi.

so long as the vote was decided by a show of hands
the opposition mustered strong, the instant it mime to
a division the fear of having their names shown up
frightened the less resolute. In one instance the
minority was 57, no contemptible phalanx of uppesi.

composing it are nut afraid to show their faces;. Only
on one occasion was the opposition victorious. The
whole chapter of civil buildings was ilirown out in
constspience of the Council or State havin, infused
to admit a reduction. The most important discussion
turned on the ministry of police. The Due uthal

MM. its. FLA% I 4..% and Dint Ita EL else obtained leave
to print their spetchie.
:d. it :kIONTALEMBLUT, in applying fur a similar per-
MiMien, observed that the hou,e, of course, could not be
considered as approving the opinions of speakers because
it gave leave to print their speeches, otherwise leave would
scarcely ever be granted.
M. BILLAI:LI said the house would judge, not of the
merits of the speech, but whether it was opportune to
print it. There could be no doubt that the house was in to
case responsible tor the speech.
The house divided upon M. de Nlontalembert's applica-
tion, und the party opposed to the publication of his speech
was beaten by 7K votes against la
M. Penner and the Duke b'Exes then asked leave to
print their speeches.
M. CONAEIL opposed these motions. Everybody, be
said, had witnessed the joy with which the decree sup.
pressing the publication of parliamentary speech, had
been rieeiviel in the departments. (Murmurs.) Ile re.
grctted that ouch speeches as they had heard shialil be
reproduced.t (tome tn . t ctn uta Ii

Leave was M. ferret and the Duke d'r'ies.
Baron Alratetus said that since the house had autho-
rised the publication of the Duke d'Una' speech, he would
ask to priut his reply to it. (Oh' oh')
Leave was given acairdingly.
M. BtLLAtLT legged to make nn observation. Ile
would nut attempt to reverse the votes that had been pro-
nounced, but he thought the house should be careful that
the excitement of the sitting did not lead them to disregard
the spirit of the constitution In his opinion these p
rmis-
lions should be sparieitly granted. (Cries of Yes" and
" No," and considerable agitation.)
On the resumption of the debate on the budget the second
part of the budget of the Minister of Marine was voted with-
out opposition. The budget of the Minister of Finance,
and the 4th and sth part of the budget of expen•es relative
to the expences of the collection end managenunt of the
taxes and public revenues, and the restitution of "ton
valcurs" were also passed.
The house then passed to the budgets aunt aid "pear
ordre" to the general budget. The first of thew is that of
the Legion of Honour. 'I he committee proposed the sup-
pression ut a sum of 6,000 fr. proposed to be allowutl to the
secretary of the order, un the ground that the council met
but four times a year, and that 1,5001 r. for each meeting
was an absurdly high salary.
M. HOLAVILLIERS, councillor of state, said that the sa-
lary of the secretary was fixed by a decree of the l'resident
of the hiepublic. The council met at least once it month,
and it was the duty of the secretary to prepare for dale
meetings.
M. (rods, after this explanation, withdrew the opposi-
tion of the committee.

The remaining budgets annexed, pour ordre, were Toted,
and the debate was then adjourned until the Co.dwil of
State should giro its deci•iou upon the rejected chapter
which have been sent back to it.

M. BILLAULT announced the presentation by the minister
of state of two bills for amending the budget of receipts in
pursuance of suggestions of the committee, and of a bill for
the definitive settlement et the accounts of 1850. The latter
bill, he observed, had been prepared with a view to the next
session, in Older that the house might have business ready
to go on with at once. (Applause., Ile then read a letter
from M. de Kerdrel, asktug leave to print his speech in
the debate of Tuesday.
M. BEAVVEILUER said they must well understand what
they were about. if the question were whether they were
only asked to do enact of complaisance to a colleague, he
was ready to vote for the leave. But it he was to be under-
stood as associating himself with the opposition of that col-
league, he would refuse it. They were here, as
M. do Montalembert had said, not as brilliant,
not as able, but as honest men. As such, their
duty was to give a loyal support to the govern-
ment that had scut them where they were. lie would
rather that a speech, were it by Demosthenes or Cicero,
should perish, than that the good miderstanding between
the Corps Legislatif and the head of the state should b. in-
terrupted. M. Billault repeated that the house xas nut re-
sponsible for the opinion of any speaker.
M. DE Keitunni. said the kindness with which the house
had listened to him encouraged him to hope that the k the
to print his speech would be given.
The leave was granted without a division.
The following bills were passed unanimously, and ',Ab-

M. BiLtatf4r said that the railway bills the reports
relative to which had that day been presented, would be on
the order of the day for debate to-morrow.
A 111Enhett objected that the reports had not ye, been
distributed, and that it would be impossible t be prepared
for the debate to-morrow.

M. llit.Lavis persisted in maintaining the bills upon the

sary, till Sunday, on which day, be announced there would
be an extraordinary sitting.
