The questions which were to Save been put by M.
Vemigny to-day in the National Assembly on the
subj. et of the aduAnistratioo, were not thought op-
pieta s by the party of the Lelt, to which that gentle-
man belongs. The effect of the questions would have
been to anticipate a debate in which M. Dufaure will
be chief paint of a tack, namely. that as to the expenses
of internal admioistr dime, which is to take place after
that on Roman affairs. There was some laughter
when M. Versigny declared his intention not to put
the questions thee he lead.ntendel. The Chamber en-
tend on the considerati n of other topics quite unin-
teresting to English readers.
Yesteeday the proposal of M. Pelletier, which, if
it wan to be tweed, might have undergone that ope-
ration the day be fore, was the sole subject of debate.
M. Charles l)upin's speech was followed by one (rein
M. Bavoye, who compared the position of the kismet-
bly to that of a Scanoravien king, who seated him
self on the see-shoes, declaring that the waves would
not rise, but the eel rose and rose, until it was ready
to swallow him up and all around him. Socialism
was the sea that was now rieieg, and would not be
stopped. When itions were brought forward,
they were tree with disdain. M. niers had chal-
lenged the Left to bring forward their propos:tions—
they did so, and )et they were treated with neglect !
Ought that to be dune when the majority had arrived
at the print of decimating and decapitating the mi-
nority.
This was in allusion to the imprisonment of the
participators in 'he affair of Inns last, which brought
up to the tribune M. Denture, who said, " Tom he
should not have addressed the Amembly, had not the
boo. member who had just spoken male um of
calumnious expressions against it. The Assembly,
according to what had been said, had re-established
the guillotice, and bad decimat-d its proscribed mem-
bers. Such accusations could not be allowed tepees
by unanswered. What reason wis there, he would
ask, for such a charge, unless it was paha'', the fast
that the guillotine had been raised to execute a
regular judgment on the assassins of General Brea?
(Sensation.) Where were the arbitrary proscriptions
which were complained of? There was a day when
the Assembly hid heard an appeal to arms made
from that very tribune, and what cohduct had it
adopted ? Justice had demanded that its privilege
of inviolability should be set aside, in order that the
authors of a grmt crime might be discovered. The
Aniembly had removed that privilege—it had said to
justice, 'Take our members— the high court will
My them?*
The hoc. minister went on to show that if the
socialists desired to be heard they should prop as
something tangible and something practicable, that
would not be repugnant to the feelings of society. 8o
long as they did nut do en their proposals, like that
of M. Pelletier, muet be selected. After some farther
debate the Mountain informed M. Dupin,throngh 31.
Pelletier, that the proposal was withdrawn; but the
Chamber voted,notwitnatanding, and the Lett having
abstained, the ranclusions of the committee were
gdopttd by 433 spinet 3.
The committee on Roman affairs yesterday closed
the preliminary debate on the questions eubatitted to
them. The groundwork of these qusatious was Fin-
cipelly entered upon by V. Vi..tor Hugo and M.
Thieve. M. Thiers took the 10001 proprto as the
tasis of the policy which should be pursued, and de-
ckled I irmelf perfectly 'Misled with that doenw nt.
