THE CORPS LEGISLATIF.

PARIS, Alllll.lo.

In to-day's sitting of the Corps Leemlatif,
Vintry said the government desired neither
proscriptions nor expulsions, and did not wish for
the separation of church and state. The govern-
ment wishes, he continued, that the church ahould
be independent of the state, as the state will be of
the church—each keeping in its proper 'Ogre.
The laity have become their own makes,
and it is necessary that this shook! he
known in Franco and elsewhere. The Chamber
refused to listen to the remarks of M.
Jules Fevre. The opposition then withdrew
the amendment, and paragraph 13 of the address
was adopted almost unanimously. On paragraph
14 being brought on for disunion, W. Jules Favre
spoke of Mexico, Italy, Denmark, and Poland,
wbere none of the pending questions had been
solved. Italy, he said, awaits unity, and Poland
reconstitution. In Willie Illetkirg has been ter-
minated. The speaker, in conclusion, censured the
policy pursued by the government with regard to
Denmark.

M. Beauverger spoke against the amendment of
the opposition. K Light 011ivier defended the
foreign policy of the government, and advocated
the principle of non-intervention. Paragraphs 14
and 15 of the address were then adopted. M. Jules
Favre explained the amendment to paragraph 16,
regretting intervention in Mexieo, and demanding
the recall of the French troops. M. Corta replied.
The debate will be continued to-morrow.

The Duke de Lould and the other ministers have

THE DUEL IN BELGIUM.

The Brussels cortespondept of the Paris Temps,
writing on the Bth, gives the following amount of the dual
between General Chisel, the Minister of War, and Y.
Weak the member for Antwerp :—" The disegremosel be-
tween M. Delast and the Minister of Wm led to its inevi-
table remit today. This morning at eight o'clock, in •
private rictiag school, a meeting with pistols took place
between the two adversaries. At the signal given
by the sensed@ both tired at once, and M.
Chasid was slightly wounded in the right side by the bullet
of M. Doled. The doctor who was present would not let
the duel ooatinne. The Hon. M. Delset thereupon ar
promised IL Meath and spontametudy declared tn very
blaming Mans that throughout the whole of the opposi-
tion he bad awed to bin in the Chamber be had in no way
been gelded by a seetimeet of personal sabilmity,
but simply by his parliamentary duty. Glossa
Chasid, deeply moved, expressed in hie turn to Z. Delimit
his rapes for the offensive words be bad &Mimed
to him in the Chamber a few days ago, and the two adver-
miss, heumforth reconciled, heartily shook bands. 1
think I have already told you that the seconds were Count
litedekerke and M. Nothemb, formerly Minister of Justice,

for M. Nisei, sad °costal Soudan de Nisderwseth and
Captain Steaks. for the Minister of War. The wooed el
the latter, It in declared this ovoids& is neither die.
genus nor serious." The Brunets oorrespeodea► of
the deenir National, writing on the same day,
gives a very similar amount of the matting, which he says,
however, took plans at the pared* potted, a short distaace
from the city. lie adds :—"They fought with pistols, aid
at tweoty wee. At a given signal M. Debit bred first.
M. Chars], slightly wounded in the right aide, was never-
theless able to fire, but without wonudieg his adversary.
The latter then approached the former, and said,
`Now that I have received your Are, I have
mock pleasure in declaring that I have never
bad any ides of casting any doubts upon your
integrity. I esteem and respect you, and I hope that
henceforth our discaseions will remain within the limits of
parliamentary moderation.' The two adversaries then
shook hands. General Chisel was able to return on foot
to his hotel and apply himself to his duties at ono*. In
this oonntry duelling is absolutely forbiddeo by a law of
the Bth January, 1841, which in the present case—that of
woneds occasioning no incapacity for duty - entails
punishmeot of from two to eighteen months'
imprisonment, and from 200 f. to 1,500 f. toe. The
seconds are considered accomplices, and are subjected to
the same puoisbmsot as the principals. Nevertheless, the
coostitution does not allow ministers or members to be in-
dicted without the intervention of the Chamber ; as to the
two seconds whom the parliamentary immunity doss not
protect, it dose not seem that they will be disturbed under
the circumstances. I need scarcely tell you that this duel
is the event of the &ay.'
