and today the Deputy Meatesessola hiving proposed
teemed a deptration to the aerate inviting it to a toe-
ihrenee, the object of which should be to name a com-
mission, composed of wreseben of b)th houses, to
spas on a report ai to the best conclusiou to be
imps to in respect to the treaty, the deputy Maya
get up and made a counter proposition of the
following tenor : That the chamber resolves to make
it a condition with ministers sine qua sus, thst the
law lately rejected by the senate "for the admission
of the Lombardo.Venetians and other Italians to the
rights of citizenship in Piedmont, without any other
conditions or qualifimtions then the fact of their
being so," be 'woolly brought forward again and
pared; and meanwhile to siopend the deliberation
on the treaty of peace. Tte Minister of the Interior
got up instantly, and declared with the warmth
of indignation such an insidious and unreason-
able proposal was calculated to inspire, that the
government could not swept of any such conditions.
that the chamber could accept or reject the treaty,
and that if they rejected it the responsibility would
rest on the cansequetces of sirnh a vote; and sat down
after repelling some insinuations and invidious allto
alone made by :he deputy Maya on the fate of Louis
XVI., Charles X., and Louis Philippe, attributed by
Maya to the counsels of their ministers, and implicitly
threatening the present ministry with exposing their
sovereigns to a similar fats.

The Fallen mails, which did not reach Paris till
late on Wednesday evening, have brought the joernals
containing the conc`nsioti of the debate in the Cham-
ber at Turin on the 18th inst. M. Maya's proposal
that the government should postpone the debate on
the treaty of peace until a motion granting the right
of city to all refugees was passed, was adopted by the
Chamber. What the result of this vote will be may
almost be anticipated. The Chambers must bi
dissolved.
