LE REPORTING IN FRANCE.

It appears by yesterday'sMoniteur that in the
sitting of the Corps Legit'latit on Monday M. de
Montalembert took an opportunity to call attention
to the notoriously garbled reports of opposition
speeches, which the official reporters are in the habit
of concocting on the few occasions when those
speeches are of a damaging nature. On the Pre.
sident of the day (Vice-President Revell) taking hie
seat,

COMA an MONTALEXIIIIT asked leave to speak before the
minutes of the lut sittings were confirmed, in order to eons-
plain of the manner in which his speech on Saturday span
the bill remodelling the postsge tar,fl for books, &a., nag
analysed.

The PRESIDENT said that the report had been duly
submitted to the committee composed of the presidents of the
seven bureau: of the chamber, and hod been approved of
by that committee. The control which the committee con-
scientiously exercised within the limits of its powers wee
mat eertain/y s guarantee for the Corps Legiolatif of snob •
nature as to leave no room for any complaint.
11. Pit... was of opinion that M. de Montalembert
should be heard.

Count DM IforevnilmWeirt having obtained leave from
the Freeddent to speak, said—He attached no importance to
the form of his speech, bat ,he was anxious that his ideas
should be faithfully represented to the country. He mold
uudentend the swum of debating with cloud
doom (the bails-cloy) such u prevailed in the
wean, bat when rep Ins were allowed, he was en-
titled to ask that they should be faithful—neither incom-
plete nor partial. [The French expression wed was
pungent alliteration, niparlielis ns particle.] The organic
decree required, he was aware, that the report should he
but a summary—but let the summary be faithful. The
has member admitted that in the reports the ides, of
the (peahen were, generally speaking, faithfully repro-
duced, but there were sometimes exceptions as regarded
himself. With respect to his last speech in particular, some
parte were correctly enough reported, but others
were altogether suppre sled cr incon,ctly given. Moreover.
while the report noticed the expressions of dissent,
drawn forth by one pert of his speech, it omitted all men-
tion of the spprobetion which was manifested in regard to
other passages. He thought that the exprnsions he had
made sae of to characterise the excessive develoi ment of
the spirit of speculation should have been completely given.
The PII11111)INT replied that impartiality was the rule of
the reporters. When M. de Mootalambert denied that in-
partiality as regarded himself, he was mistaken. When the
03mmittee before whom the reporter's manuscript was read
suppressed phrases, words, or oven whole rungs. of •
speech, it only made these suppreesions with the ohjeet of
conforming to the decree which required that the report
should he an analysis. It was n't to be presumed that the
committee could have any lutentiou to distort tte ideas of
the speaker'. The last speech of M. de MonWembert bad
been abridged bemuse it required to be so, but the com-
mittee remained ex nvinced that the substance bad not un-
dergone any alteration.

One of the non•reported phrues of M. de Moots.
lembert, which fell like a thunderbolt in the house,
was one which we quoted in Tuesday's Express:—
" Ces fortunes scandaleuses, fait.. sans travail, aunt
egalement sans honneur."
