PARIS, Frz. M, Emsrao.

In today's sitting the Legislative Body granted
M. Jane's motion fur an interpellation to the
government respecting tho refusal to institute a
judicial inquiry into charges of extortion and im-
morality brought against a judge of the district of
Lunddac. The debate upon the Press Bill was then
resumed, the article relating to the reports of the
sittings of the Chambers again coming on for dis-
cussion. M. Thiers made a speech, in which he
said that &government ought to wish to be freely dis-
cussed. As legislators the Chamber might wish to
prevent inaccuracies in the reports, but could not
desire to atop all criticism of the debates. The
equivocal position which had arisen with regard to
this question had been entirely brought about by
the governmeat, which after promising reforms
had begun to feel regret at the loss of its absolute
I power. In order to issue from this embarrassment
it was necessary to modify the decree of February.
The dignity of the Legislative Body required that
an end should be put to the present intolerable state
of things. M. Thiers said it is impossible to criticise
the debates in the Chambers without mentioning the
details of such debates, which are the very subject
of the criticises. M. Baroche : But this would be
a report of the discussion. M. Thiers replied that
ho took note of the fact that the government per-
sisted in this view of the legal question, and he
concluded his speech by urging the adoption of M.
Jane's amendment, which proposes that the
journals shall be allowed to publish analyses of the
debates. M. Granier de Coesagnac continued the
debate. He said : " The press has the right
freely to discuss every incident which takes place
during tho debates, but a report of the discussion
must not be given by the journals under the dis-
guise of criticises. The prohibition of the publica-
tion of the reports of the sittings can in no way
fetter the journals in their criticisms."
M. 011ivier read an article from the Pays, signed
Paul Cassagnac, on the last sitting of the Cham-
ber, in wish -ridicule was thrown upon the
lawyer-members of the Legislative Body. The
reading of the article caused great excitement,
during the continuance of which M. Jules Fevre
was called to order by the President. M. Picard
demanded that the government should explain
itself.

M. Honker denied that the government had
desired to impose silence upon the newspapers on
the subject of the Army and Press Bills by means
of the prosecutions recently instituted against the
journals. "The government," ho said, " re-
spected the honesty of its adversaries, and would
cause its own to be respected also." Tho debate
was adjourned until to-morrow.
The Efesdard of this evening, in reply to a
statement made in the Nord, denies that the
question of the Hanoverian Legion has affected
the good understanding between France and Au-
Ws. The France of this evening gives a denial to
the statement that the Prussian government had
asked for a list of the Hanoverian' interned at
Bourses or scattered over the country. The same
journal states that Spain enjoys perfect tranquillity,
and that the measures adopted by the Spanishgovern-
merit in the path of reform, political as well as
financial, have conciliated all parties. The Epoque
asserts that the insurgent bands in Roumania are
daily increasing.

The Chamber of Deputies approved to-day the
total expenditure for 1868, estimated at 997,965,000
lire. The report of the committee on this subject
states the deficit for the present year to be
218,000,000 lire, exclusive of the loss on exchange
in payments abroad. The interest of the national
debt amounts to 56 per cent. of the general ex-
penses. Count Cambray Digny announced that
the estimates for 1869 will be presented in the
first week in March.

The Chamber rejected a proposal made by
Signor Cedolini, that the committee should present
a collective report upon Count Cambray Digny's
financial projects. The Chamber instructed the
committee to present a report upon each bill when
reedy. The Chamber has adjourned until 2nd
liareli far the carnival vacation. The state of the
Tremory oil the 31st January was as follows :

Intelligence has been received here from Athena,
dated Feb. 15. The Athens journals publish the
following advice' from Crete :—" On the night of
the 4th brat a band of insurgent, fell upon the
Turkish troops, and killed and wounded a con-
siderable number, and captured a quantity of
arms. On the following day 3,000 Turkish rein-
foroensents were defeated by the insurgents, and
forced to retire. The native Turks are constantly
requesting permission to be allowed to leave Crete,
as they are undergoing great hardships through
