A cabinet council was held to-day, at the Palace of

Although the law upon the clubs has not yet been
examined, orders have been issued to the
police to prevent the meetings of any of these bodies.
the partisans of disorder rack in confidently on the
co-operation of the Guard Mobile, among whom di.-
oontent has been excited by the new decree for their
modification.
The discussion of the question for the d 'solution of
the Assembly will come on to-morrow. MM. Deana
and Lamartine have resolved to come forward, to
bring the majority which opposes dissolution to
reason, and thus preserve public tranquillity. It is
supposed that • compromise will be proposed by

NATIONAL ASSEMBLY.
SITTING OP SATURDAY, lAN. 27.
The report on the pesti.do of urgency for the bill on the
slabs having been presented,
M. IBINAZD rose, and said: The committee that
have named to report ea urgency as to the pro-
fe°cl of law on the clubs now render you an account of
to deliberations. In the first place we must examine the
nature of this reject. You are not in rely asked to enact
new regulations, or even to suspend the clubs ; you are skid
mush more; you are asked to pass a law which says ten
tautly " The snubs are interdicted." However grievous may
have been the results of the clubs, however firm may have
been the intention of the Assembly to place a restraint on
their disorders, the right km been seepted and consecrated
by legislation. The decree of the 28th July leaves no doubt
in this respect ; and it must be acknowledged, moreover, that
to attain the end proposed, the project of law infringes ea
Article Bof the constitution. The question appease to us too
grave to be solved without preparatory exemiaation
and deliberation. We have thought that there could
not be urgency in the immediate resolution of this grave
question, unless circumstances imperiously demanded it.
' We have, consequently, called the Minister of the Interior
before us, the explanations which he has given us have not

I which at the time of the decree of July the 28th was 37,
Is now only 11, of which 5 have recently been closed by judi
dal decisions. All disorders are proceeded against with a
praiseworthy firmness, and, if any attempt has been made
to evade justice, no offence has remained unrepressed.
If there be reasons why the Assuably should
adopted the project, would it not be better that it should be

It has appeared to us that there weld result from the dig-
estions a greater motowity for the law. Consequently the
ooroosimien proposes net to declare any urgency.
Mr. 0. MARMOT, Minister of Justice.—Tice question of

to me that the Assembly had adopted this esatinseat when it

M. O. linuncer.—The government has thought it its duty
to submit to you these observation% for in Ms s matter it

I bare one word to say on the right Peat. This right we
laws been told by the Minister of Jamiee is decided by
public opinion ay.awry day. That which public opinion
affirms every day is that the constitution should be respected.
The question, then, is, does the eonstitution permit the sup
promos of the clubs? (Reclamation at the right.) Yo*
will toll us that hereafter. One word in reply to what has
been said on the
.question. I say that the right of meeting,
the right of association, the right of petition, are guaranteed
by the constitution. Yon say they can be modifluf with
regard to the public security. Is the suppeesa.lon
of tt et right the modifleation of the law ? (Adhesion
on the left.) According to your project, the
clubs are not regulated, suspended—they are suppressed. I
will add one word more. (Rumours.) You bare s ill the
press, which greatly inconveniences those who do not love
the light. Do you mean to extirpate the press en the plea of
regulating it. (Rumours.) And now one word on the
urgency. (Ala, et.) When a committal, who have before
them all the documents on which the ministry sets, declares
to you that there is not a sufficient motive, can you, the
Aesembly, who know nothing of those documents, declare
that there is urgency ? (Dissent) Laws which violate the
constitution as not voted urgent. (Dionne.) It said
jut now, and I esprit it in the very out of the constitutioe,
wtrigh is desired to be blotted out, there cannot be urgency
in prig a law which is absolutely in defiance of the con-

N. O. BLRIOI.—I repeat that the question of urgency is
aaaesti of good faith arising from intimate knowledge.
(liimour at the left.) It has been said that if the question
saw: remain open, it ought not to have been put.
The government has exercised its right, you wi.l exercise

(Sensation ; "Yen Sall")
M. fisnaen.—lf the committee had only seen a coestiew. ,
tional question in the project, it probably would not have '
hesitated to have proposed the declaration of urgency ; but
we do not admit that the question can be debated before this
assembly on absolute terms. Hilo constitution permits the
project, we adopt it; if not, we reject it—is a MIMI it
stating the question we do not admit. If the ministry bale
in its positron the proof that the actual existent, of
