PARIS, TVZSDAY, 5.30 r x.
The termination of the debate on the impeachmem
of the ministry in the chamber last evening, does not
in the least solve the party qu 'alien involved. The
debate was api arantly on Italian affairs, but they
were only a pretext, and the tone of the ultra-demo-
cratic prise this morning cannot but lead to some fur-
ther incident.
M. Odilon Barret repeated last night all the worn-
out .tort' of the flight of the Pope, and the govern-
meat at Rome being one of strangers: the main point
of nis speech, however, was when he said, "Now
dare to tell our troops to retire." He felt that this
was a clinching argument. It was this, no doubt.
also that induced the democrats to take the course of
an imueschment rather than one calculated to dis-
turb the operations of the French army.
M. Ledru Rollin answered M. Odilon Barret by
saying that, though in obedience to the decision of
the National Assembly the government had sent M.
Leveed', they had also hastened to reed him, and
ordered the attack on Rome when they found a gap
between an expiring Assembly and one which was not
yet upon its feet. Now he asked them what right
bad they to do as they had done ? On the other hand,
wnen the conduct of the Romans was considered, it
was true they were offered terms, but terms of peace
offered at the point of the bayonet were impossible.
The It mans could not and did not accept them.
" So," said M. Ledru Rollie, " matters happened,
and yet yon attacked Rome, and for four long days
hare our soldiers been there fighting, and perhaps
sufferiog reverses, and you say that you are not re-
sponsible. I tell you that there is a stain of blood
upon your forehead." The orator of the left con-
cluded by saying that without doubt the constitution
had been violated, but they would defend it by all
possible means, even by arms. lie demanded the
urgency of his proposal. This declaration shaped the
speech of M. Ledru 'Rollin, and both sides of the
house for a short time gave themselves up to gesticu-
lations at each other.
M. Dupin cried out that the violation of the consti-
tution was really on the part of those who in the As-
sembly spoke of d• fending it, not by the law, but by
arms. He recall.d M. Lads Rollin to order, upon
which that gentleman rose in his seat and cried out,
" The 110th article of the constitution declares that
the defence of the constitution is entrusted to the
patriotism of every Frenchman. I say, and I repeat
it, the constitution that has been violated will be
detended by us even with arms in our hands."
The left cried " Bravo!" the right stormed, and
amidst the confusion Oeneral B.dean ascended the
tribune, and swore to defend the majority.
M. Segue d'Aguessean followed, by proposing an
order of the day thus worded:—"Toe National As-
sembly, accepting the explanations of the ministry,
and animated with the most lively sympathy for our
brave soldiers, passes to the order of the day."
This gentleman, a new member, already notorious
far his reactionary tendencies, prefaced his proposal
by saying that " the Chamber had been told that
there was a stain of blood on the forehead of the

ministry, but that stain was in reality on the forehead
of those men who excited civil and foreikn war. It
was the blood of those unfortunate Sicilians whom
demagogic passions had hurled into an byes ; it was
that of those brave soldiers whom the Siena of
French demagogues assessioated at Rome."
M. d'Aguessrates proposal found no support, and
ultimately the simple order of the day was voted by
361 againet 203.
The following is the text of the proposition of
impeachment presented by M. Lodru Rollin :
