PARIS, THIIISDAY, 5 SO P.M.
The Assembly to-day showed a proper feeling, in
admitting as members two representatives of the
Nievre, whose elections the commisslon charged with
examinations had deter mined to annul. 83 many
members of a different opinion from Messer. Banns
and Duette (Iscr h red republicans) had been admitted,
against whom weightier wise had been shown for
their rejection, that the Assembly was very properly
indulgent. After that, M. Changarnier'a rep3rt of
the affair of lure 13 caused some remarks from a

member, who complained ot the manner in which t e
parliamentary minority was treated in it. This
document, Wow], besides the bombast which charac-
terises it, is sant lefty. rent in it expressions as re-
raped' the minority; but people begin to be emus-
toned to this from the hien. general.
M. Defame said he could not understand the oppo.
action made to a document whose merit was that of
telling indefestible truths; and so the Matter ended.

repres,ion which the so-called m derates intend to
unction ; and they proclaim &o-id the', though " many
adversaries of socialist propaganda believe ford to
be the only means of putting it down, they consider
other means far more efficacious," and those are to
apply serious attenth ns to the cure of the s sal
disease which now afflicts the political system.
Tne Dibata, whilst approving the principles which
have dictated this minify to, reproa'hes the members
of the Constitutional Club with supposing that the
miijoety has really those cruets tendencies which
it signalises. Bet in truth is it not so, and can al!
that the Dioara will say gloss over the fact? But the

threatens him with the same punishment.
Yesterday, though the Climber did riot si', it was

imports of cotton woe', grains from which oil is
extracted, coal, and uncombed wool. In May 1817
cotton wool paid duty to the amount of 886,623 fr.
In May, 1848, this amount was reduced a thi d, but
in the corresponding month of this year the duty paid
has been 1,325,512 fr. The increase in the imp irto
tion of oil grains is not so great, nor is that of coal,
