PARIS. FRIDAY EVENIZA.
In the A isernbly'a sitting of to-day an important loci- ,
drat ocearred. M. Napoleon 80/lapse° demanded to
interpsliato the minister of war with regard to the
it:sanctions giver- by General Cbangarnier to the
troops under bas orders, some of which were n.ahlised
by the Put) Stezetr.l terms ef delcy were dear ended
and etteceesively rej cted by the Assembly, netwith- ,
seeett.e4 the re ()Gent of General Schramm. Id. Nape-
ltue liorrapezto read the article of the Pcitr::. He •
laid great stress upon the order to shoot traitor!,
which ho called cruel and unconstitu'ional. General
Schramm declared that he could not find the festrue-
dons in qaestioe, and that the delay which he
r q .ted motived by that ciecatestamee, in order
that he might procure fresh information on the
subject.
General Changarnier declared that the le/emotions
qnoted by the Pattie were not enact. It was true
that when General Cavaignac had confided to him the
command of the troops of the Ist division, ho bad
published instructions with the view of securing unity
of command during the fighting; but ho had never
dreamed of es/steeling the right of the Assembly, and
of the Prt Fideut of the Assembly in its name, of re-
quiring troops. (enetre.)
M. N. Bonaparte and M. Charms demanded to
speak ; but the close of the debate was pronounced
by a 'largo majority, cud the pure and simple order
of the dray was adopted with scare ray opposition.
The sitting, after this incident, breko ur.
The Joironl the DORI& reproduc a, without any
meterial ePeration, the uccoi.et which has been
'heady given of C.A. cmverintion ich to k plies
at the Elysks Setween the President of the It-public
and the president of the Assembly. It appease that
Gecerel Bedeau, on retiring, was fellow:3 by one of
the que,tore, M. Lefto, and M. Cespot, one of the
secretaries of the Assembly. The it.cident is still
discussed with much acrimony by the journals of the
opposition, who pretecd that Louis-Philiprt, in the
plenitude of his power, never dared to non such biting
language towards the parliament. They might huve
added that the Chambers through ther official organs
organs rarer dared to address Louis Philippe with the
same cynical impertinence. Meanwhde the real ques-
tion of the day is the liberation of M. Mauguin.
Four propositions relative to the seizure of the
indemnity allowed to the representatives of the
people, and to their situation in case of being
arrested for debt, were yesterday presented in
the Assembly. M. de Chassaigne-Goyon proposes
that no representative can be arrested to debt
union e it% the permission of the Assembly.
M. de Villeneuve and some other members pro-
pose the same, but add that, if the permission be
given, the member so arrested shall be cocsi-
dared, in three months after, as tot any longer
, forming part of the Assembly, if, by that time, he has
not been set at liberty. M. Grimault and some others
propose that every representative shall be considered
as no longer a member of the Assembly whose indent-
city
being seized for debt, shall not have been lib -
rated in three months. Finally, M. Pongeard pro-
poses that any representative who shall not have
satisfied his creditor within the apace of one month
after notice of the debt has been sent in to the gees-
' tors' office, ceases to be a member of the Assembly.
In addition to these four, another proposition has been
presented to-day by MM. Emile Ler.uz and Garton,
tending to make the arrest of representatives for debt
legal without the convent of the Assembly, and to
deprive the] arrested representative of his eat, if
he recover not his liberty within a month from his
I arrest. _ - . . .
