THE PRUSSIAN CHAMBERS.

BERLIN, MAT 4.

The discussion on the Military Re-organisation
Bill was resumed to-day in the Chamber of De-
puties.
Herr Forkenbeck stated that the party of pro-
gress could not accept the amendment of Herr
Bonin, proposing a mediation between the govern-
ment and the chamber on the question of the
military budget, because this amendment would
be equivalent to a recognition of the military re-
organisation scheme as proposedby thegovernment.
The Minister of War, General von Boon, said that
there was no occasion for the government to state
its views on this amendment, which had so little
chance of being supported by the chamber.

TOE CORPS LEGISLATIF.

PAM, NAT 4.

In to-day's sitting of the Corps Legialatif the
debate upon the bill for calling out 100,000 men as
the contingent for 1865 was resumed. General

petent men in France to have 600,000 men at the
disposal of the government, and this dream had
been realised under the empire. Other deputies
continued the discussion, at the conclusion of which
article 1 was agreed to by 170 to 64 votes. The
whole bill was subsequently passed by 219 to 12
votes.
