PARIS, WZDNISDAT 6 30 p.n.
The committee on foreign affairs met this morn-
ing in secret conference, and we, attended by the
minister of foreign again. The siting lasted up-
wards of two boors, and a most lively debate
took place on the general question of foreign
policy, in which M. Drosyn de Mays, the
minister, and MM. Emanuel Arago, Gustave de
Beaumont, Francisque Bouvet, and Boviguirr, took
part. M. Bouvet considered that the actual policy
of the government was not adapted to the complicated
situation of the European states, and that there should
beconvened a general colress, whose deliberations,
founded on new principles, should be directed to the
formation of a new system of policy for Europe. Ores
of the members proposed and insisted very warmly
on the necemity of addressing iaterpellations to
the sheeny on its foreign policy; but this, alter an
animated debate, was judged inopportune, as it would
tend to delay the discussion and penult et the elec-
toral law; and I am informed that the members
bramble to the interpellations finally decided that a
vote of want of cnfidence in the ministry should
be distinctly proposed on the question of urgency as
to the project of law far the !granting the provisional
two-twelhhe of the contributions for April and May.
The funds have undrrgone another rise to-day,
the Thrice having risen from 62.83 to 64, and the
Fives, with the csupon detached, to 84, which is
nearly equivalent.
The committee of finances has this morning de-
termined to report in favour of the proposition of the
ministry for an increase of the allowance to the Pie-
skint and the Vico-President of the Republics.
The jury who havo today been engaged in the
trial against the editors for a violist article in the
Pospk, has just delivered a verdict of acquittal. This
is not he same article for which M. Proodhon is to
be prosecuted order the authorisation lately granted
by de Assembly.
" In the National Assembly to-day the debate on the
*bird reading of the electoral law was resumed, and
some progress was made in it. In the midst of the
debate M. Buvignier aicendel the tribune, for the
purpose of putting to the Minister of Foreign Af-
fairs interpellations on the affairs of Italy, but was
opposed by the chamber, who desired them to be
postponed to the passing of the electoral law then
under discussion. On this, M. Buvignier said,
"I do not understand the right of the majority to
"woe itself to the minority addressing interpellations.
If the majority will shut the month of the minority
here, it will be compelled to carry Its complaints
elsewhere."

Barret said, the ministry does not con-
test the right of any representative to put interpella-
done, and is always ready to reply to them. After
sew further observations a division took place as to
'hither the interpellations of M. Barigruer should
be placed on the order of the day for to-morraw, when
there appeared for, 367 ; and against the motion, 967.
The interpellations will conerquently be made to-
ll:10470w.

M. Goudehaux has propowd the following amend-
ment, to follow art. 83 of the Electoral Law : "1,
No citbten, having oontaseted with the government
for stores, can be elected a representative; 2, No re-
presentative coo, during the course of the legislature.
or within six months after it, enter into any contrae,
with the government."
The articles so far as 49 inclusive of the electoral
law bad been ruled when our reporter dosed his
despatches; the law contains 121 article*.
The parliameatary club which meets in the roams
of the Council of State in the Palais d'Orsay, for-
