The Express.
London, England, 1849-07-25 00:00:00

The Press does not seize the points used by the
Dibats, but describes how M. Drataure, hearing that
M. Thiers was about to make a discours
determined immediately to have the first word, and
entered on an apology of the new law. "M.
Dufaure," says La Freese, "could not feel himself as
much at his ease as M. Thiers on thet ground, where
at every step he comes in contact with his opinion
and those of his old colleague, now joined to bim on
th- benches of the ministry."
The arguments of M. Barrault were these, that the
law proposed would abolish all discussion, and would
make war against ideas; and it was by doing so that
Charles X. had fallen first and Louis Philippe after
him. The majority had placed themselves on a double
slope leading on the one hand to a restoration, on
the other to a revolution. All this, said M. Barrault,
in continuation, they knew before, but he would tell
them in sedition that internal troubles might possibly
become complicated by foreign wars; the expedition
of Rome basing created a bad precedent, which might
one day be invoked against themselves. The way to
escape these misfortunes was to leave the path of re-
pression, and find support in popular liberties. TLe
opportunity of doing so was ample now that Proud-
hen was under lock and key, LeJra Rollin in Switzer-
land, and the organised agitators dispersed.
The debate was resumed tc-day by M. Pierre
Leroux, who spoke for not less than two hours, and
was followed by M. Thiers, who began by saying :
The Assembly would no doubt do him that justice that
he hod always abstained from ascending the tribune
whoa matters of the day were under debate. Being
a man of the past, as he had been called, he had
thought it beet to keep aloof and leave the right of
treating those questions to men of the present. But
questions involving interests, socially and generally,
he had not hesitated to come forward and give his
opinion on. The law that had bean presented was
one of these. Assuredly during the course a that
debate he and his friends bad obtained the right
to recriminate. He should not make use of mat
right—(here the speaker was interrupted by cries of
" Oh, oh ")—or, at bast, be would use it with •
certain reserve. M. Thiers was still slacking wham
this deepatch left.
The Presse says that a dinner was given the other
day to the principal editors of the jeurnals—sup-
porters of the Elysee, at which was arranged the ne-
creamy means for iner,asing the indemnity of
1,200,0001. per annum given to the President of the
republic to 1,800,000 f.
It is generally rumoured that three more repre-
sentatives are to be prosecuted for participating in
the affair of the 13th of June. _ _

During his visit to Ham, the Pres4dout met free
from prison, the African chief, Bou 'Moat, who was
confined in the room formerly occupied by Dr.
Connsau.
It seems that the election at Guatialoupe have
been attended with serious dis'urb ince., and that
blood was shed. M. Schaelcher is stated to have
been elected for that colony. The name of his colleague
is not given. Affairs were in a deplorable state in
the colunieo."

The conduct of the Austrians with regards to
Piedmont in pressing its ultimatum, at a time when
that country is so embirraseed by its intreal position,
is severely commented oa in all the Parisjournalr.
The opposition journals reproduce an article cf the
Orgdit, string an ac_ount of a scene in one of the
committee rooms of the National Assembly, between
a deputy of the Mountain (M. Michel de Bourges),
and AL Thieve. M. Michel is represented to have
charged M. Thiers with having sworn with him on
the crucifix an oath of hatred to monarchy, and M.
'fliers is stated to have replied that he had raver
sworn hatred to monarchy, but to the elder branch
of the Bourbons. _ _ .

The Slide attacks the president of the republic for
giving liberty to Bou Maze, this beicg, according to
the Steck, an usurpation of the power of grace, which
he can exercise legally only with the approbation of
the council of state. _

By a decree of the president of the rebublic, M.
Gustave de Beaumont is appointed president of the
commission for the revision of the legislation of
Algeria, in place of M. de Tocqueville, whose functions
u minister of foreign affairs prevent his continuing to
preside over the commission.
