11. Victor Hego said that, after the battle of No-
veer', when the expedition to Rome was
to, ound Lamoriciere amended the trait=l„
and said, " Italy has just lost her battle of
Waterloo. Austria is now mistress of Italy.
She will proceed to Rowse, and there re-1
new the atrocities she has perpetrated at Milan. If
you intend to prevent it, you must 'end an expedi-
tion to Rome.'
M. Odilon Barrot, baying replied that the French
troops would bee safeguard to liberty and humanity, I
the rascal exclaimed, "If we cannot save the re- I
public, let us at least save liberty."
M. Hugo than drew a picture of the atro-
sties
committed by the Haynaus and Rsdetzkya,
which be iseeneent to the indignation of mankind..
Those atrocities had been already branded in the'
British Parliament, sad the French Assembly could
not bat join in imprecation agairet such moods's.'
(Load acclamations on the Left.) M. Hugo then re-
ferred to the letter written by the President of the
Republic. He should have preferred en act of go.
vertu:mot deliberated in women ; but each as it was,
it fixed a basis for the negotiatioe,and gave the Pope
useful advice in his own interest. The mobs proprio
was the reply of his holiness to the letter. In point
of liberty, it granted nothing; in 'tit of clemency,
it granted still less. It proscriptions en
muse under the fallacious name of an amnesty.
Now, if the assembly adopted the letter, it
condemned the moils proprio, and vice verso, and he
entreated his colleagues to bear in mind that Austria
herself disapproved of the act of the pontiff. The
great object of France should be to reconcile Rome
with the papacy. In order to effect that reconcilia-
tion, it was Indispensable that the sovereign pontiff
should comprehend the wants of the age and of his
people; that he should hoist the tanner dear
Its Italians —" tecularisation and nationality "
sad distrust his worst enemy; he did not
owe the revolutionary split, but the clerical
spirit. M. Hugo then called on the Assembly to insist
on an unconditional amnesty. (Cries of "No, no"
on the Right.) "If you do not," exclaimed M. Hugo,
we willoquire it, and farce the pope to grant it.
(Loud murmurs on the right, and bravos on the left.)
He then said that it was the interest of France to
evacuate Rome as soon as possible, as otherwise it
would become fur her a new Algeria, and devour her
children and treasure. Bat she should beware of leaving
behind the seeds of a new revolution. The expe-
dition, irreproachable at its onset, might ben sine
blameable and criminal in its results. This would be
the case if France neglected to maintain and safely
mad the liberty of the Roman people. He nutted,
is conclusion, that the French arms in going to Rome
may have reaped something else besides chime.
(Applause on the left.)
M. Victor Hugr, on descending from the tribune,
reeeived the congratulations of the members of the
Mountain.
M. de Mootalembert who seceseded, observed that
the speech of M. Hugo had received the chastisement
It deserved by the applies' it had elicited. (Uproar
'ea the left, cries of " Order, order r)
Tea have no right to call a speaker to order,
observed the President; permit N. Montelembert to
explain himself.
When silence was restored, M. de Montalembert
said the he wi'hdrew the expression "oliestiement,"
sad substituted fur it the word " recompense."
(Laughter.) He could not, however, help wendering
bow a a man, who had hitherto belonged to the
'majority, and had, like him, been sent to the Mem-
bly to support the great principle of order, could
court such applause. He hoped he would satisfac-
torily account to the electors of Paris for that derelic-
tion of principle. (Violent tumult on the Lett,
which wee not appeased at the hour of post.)
The Committee of Parliamentary Initiative, having
deliberated on the three propositions of Napoleon
Bonaparte, has decided that it would not pay atten-
tion to the two first, relating to the two branches of
the Bourbon family, on the ground that the old com-
mittee of initiative had already sent in a report on
the previous proposition of M. Centon ; the committee,
ia eonsequence, has only examised the pronseitien
relating to the transported of June, and proposes its
rejection.
M. Caroni has presented to the Assembly the fol-
lowing proposition, which has been referred to the
eimmitere on parliamentary initiative:
la panes of the difficulties which threaten an attack on
the iniepodenee of the sultan and the integrity of the
Okemes nitrite, the Assembly, animated with a desire to
midi emir the maintenance of the balance of powt r, and of
the et Europe, and to give tam authority Melte words
of more natty to Mr action, engages the ministry
le dim from all the powers who signed the convention of
July 16, 1840, and to which France became a contracting
perry by the treaty of July, 15, 1841, the strict execution of
that convention.
The sub-oommittee charged to prepare a definitive
bill on mortgage-reform, has oome to the resolution
to propose that the preservation of mortgagee shall
be sub-divided by cantons and joined to the offices
where the accounts of the liabilities of landed pro-
perty are enregistered.
The Journal dee Debate publishes the following :
Attu the days of Jane, 184 e, the Denham of Orleans sent
6,000 tr. to a person whom she had ones charged to be the
agent of her semi charities. That ma was to be distri-
buted, without distinstios of party, emoopet the widows
and orphans of the victims of the insurrection. They who
are aware in what situation the duchess was placed during
the firm months of her exile can alone appreciate how im-
hartant to her at that time was such a cam. Th., gift was to

it was confided weld not have distibuted As maser without

handed over to the inametriesee of the stiles d'asile of Paris,
and applied by them to aid the families a& ring from the
events ot Jane. 11 the person honoured on that ono ~ion
with the °madame of the Duchess of Orleans now presumes
to violate the secrecy so strongly imposed, It is owing to cc r•
tale words uttered on Teeeday in the Assembly, which he
comeivse render it improper for him to be say longer silent.
The Tottlentaais, of the 16th, has the following:—
" R is known that the "crew steam-frigate the Pomo..
sad the Dauphin steamer, were sent to the coast s(
Morocco to add, by their presence, to the eclat of the
reparation which the government of Abdherramaa
had resolved on giving to the French Republic:.
These vessels anchored off Tangiers on the 29:h ult.,
but they had beeu 'objected to quarantine of a few

however, announce that the reports which have bees
lately in circulation relative to the state of the capital
of the Two Sicilian are very much exaggerated. Itl
is certain that great agitation prevails there, and that
numerous *nests have recently taken plate, but there
is far from being a revolution.
The NousaliSte of Marseilles says :—" A dkpateh
has been sent by M. de Carrells" to the Minister of
Foreign Affair., announcing that he has received an
assumes from Cardinal Antonelli that the Pope will
return to Rome as soon as the moils proprio 111011
have received the approbation of the French kgkla-
tive assembly."
The President of the Republic went again to day
to visit the workmen of the populous suburb'.
From the returns of the Bank of France just pub-
lished, it appears that the metallic referee hen fallen
off about a quarter of a million, having increased
about three millions and three quarters in Paris, and
diminished somewhat more than fuur millions in the
country. The discount accommodation has increased
one million in Paris, and about three quarters of a
million in the branch hanks, the amount of the former
being 43,759,014 k., and of the latter 77,791,998 fr.
