The debate on the project for repealing the deem
of the Provisional Government establishing a ha
hours' maximum of labour, was commenced y
in the Assembly. The decree was attacked lt;stye2
Charles Dupin,Wolowski, &nerd, and Leon Father.
Although three of the members of the govern:lst
who passed it were present, MM. Lcdrn
Gamier Pages, and Flocon, besides tte president d
the Assembly, not one of them raised his voice in its
favour. The most successful attack upon it was the
of M. Leon Faucher, who triumphantly refuted the
principle upon which the decree rested, and whip
speech was received by the Assembly in such a msa-
ner as to leave no doubt of its effect.
The Messager Bate : " We can state that M. cis
Wessemberg has positively declared to the mediating
powers that in 120 case will Austria consent to abodes
Lombardy, to which, however, she is willing to grist
as liberal institutions as possible."
