PARIS, TITUDAT Rosana.
la the course of the parliamentary negotiatio
ns as
the dotation law, the party of Odilon Borne has
given a fresh instance of tergiversation mad weelinese.
Nothing could exceed the sharpness of the attacks
made by the &dr* upon the natation Bill when it
first appeared. The same paper is to-day little less
radiant than the Cbasfintionssel at the triumph of the
government. The Assembly has sarrifted its own
committee with the most shameless want of principle.
Men who ware loudest against the grant, such as M.
de Mornay, are to be found among the rotors of it.
There is every appearance of the vote having been
extorted by istimidatioo. The tone of the minis-
terial organs daring the whole agitation of the ques-
tion has been that of menace ; and the flat of General
Changarnier was the government's last word. What-
ever opinion be entertained of the grant, there
can be only one opinion as to the poor, undignified
figure made by the legislatures, which has yielded
hose fear of a conflict with the executive. The in-
evitable cosmogonies will be the destruction of its
moral authority throughout the country, and the pro-
portimed increase of audacity in the ruling power.
Since the arrival of General Bonney d'irilliers
from Rams, he has been frequently °keened with the
President, and thus incurred the umbrage of the bur-
graves, who looked on him as an instrument fix the
subversion of their idol Changarnier. It was said
that d'Hilliers would replace d'Hautpoulin the minis-
try of war, and then proceed to apply his lever for
ousting the commander-in-chief. Yesterday the ma-
jority had an opportinity of testifying their displea-
sure at the presumed intrigues of the ex-comman-
der of the Roman expedition. When the general
approached the tribune, manuscript in hand, to read a
speech on the notation Bill, the whole Right called
at once for the clam of the debate, so that the rival of
Changarnier had to return to his seat re infeeki, while
the latter dictated with soldier-like brevity its vote to
the Assembly. It is thought on the whole that the
fact of the three millions having been only granted at
the puissant adjuration (the word he used) of Chan-
gamier, is a humiliating circumstance for V:* Presi-
dent, who thus appears to take a gift of the majority,
headed to him on the point of a sward supposed to
be mash more devoted to their service than to his.
If the three millions had been refused, it is said
that the 3foriiteur was to publish this morning the
replacement of Changarnier by Magnin, and the
name of M. de Persigny as the head of a new cabinet.
A lassesge from the President is said to be on the
eve of appnring.
There were no less than 38 errors in the division
presented by the Aforliteur. Lamoricidre is among
the ayes, although be voted against. A supplement
is to be published to-morrow, to correct these errata.
In the beginning of the sitting of the Assembly to-
day, M. de Mornay complained clan error in the divi-
sion on the notation Bill, as given by the Moniteur
which classed him among those who bad rated for the
grant, although he was strongly opposed to it, and
had voted against it.
The Assembly then proceeded to open the debate
upon the first reading of the Mortgage Reform Bill.
M. Hencequin regretted that the Assembly, in its
eagerness to discuss political questions, betrayed so
much indifference for measure calculated to benefit
society. Ajudicious reform of the law on mortgage
would do the country much more good than the do-
cation they had voted yesterday. The evil which
afflicted the rural districts was the excessive interest
demanded for money needful to the cultivator. Usury
might be attacked as a crime, as M. de St.
Priest proposed; but he thought that mode of
proceeding would be ineffectual. The vice of the
situation lay in the relations of labour, capital, and
talent. Capital was too highly remunerated, and
was master of labour. Capital ought to be multiplied.
in order to render loans easy. Usury ought to be
attacked by the organisation of credit. Facilities of
leading upon land, upon agricultural stores, the
establishment of entrepits in the rural districts, and
in the towns busies, where stores might be ware-
housed as pledge, such were the obvious means of
obtaining the end he proposed, and these
means would be crowned by the esfablish-
ment of a bank system. Bat ought the banks
to be upheld by the state or by private associa-
tion? That was a question of the highest
importance. Why was agriculture distressed for
capital? Because it did not tempt the lender with
the prospect of great gains. In order to organise a
landed credit, first they must remodel the mortgage
system. He agreed perfectly with the views of the
committee. M. Bocher demanded in the name of the
committee of inquiry on liquors, a prolongation of their
powers to the 13th of October, which was granted.
The debate on mortgage reform was then resumed by
M. Wolowski, who was followed by MM. DAin and
de Vatimeanil.

The Assembly met before the public sitting in the
bureaux to appoint a committee on motions relative
to duelling.
The budget of receipts estimated for 1834 will be
presented in a fortnight.
M. Gaiet, who was some time since sent on a mis-
sion to the French West India islands, to try experi-
ments with the process of M. Me!kens in the making
of sugar, has jest addressed a first report to the Mi-
nister of Agriculture and Commerce, from Haase Terre
(Guadeloupe), in which he states that although his
experiments have riot been made under favourable

. 7 -
eareamstances, he feels confident that the adoption of
the process of M. Mamas may be attended with fa-
Tearable results.
