PARIS, FS DAY, 11 Am.
The dimussion on the Orgauio Law on Public
lestreetion yesterday made a somewhat more
rapid progress in the Legislative Assembly, all
the emeedments on Art. 4, which decides how the
Superior Council is to be composed, having been re-
jected, and the art►cle itself adopted. Three other
articles were afterwards agreed to, and the disenidon
was then adjourned to Monday, to allow the M-
onthly to decide on the deemed suds by the Minister
of Jest's% relative to declaring vacant the seats of
the representatives found guilty by the High Court
of Andes of Veisailles ; also, to permit M. l!igastoey's

PARIS. FRIDAY, 5 30' en.
The debate, to-day in the Assembly wis on the
commuieetion of the minister of justice respeeting
•the convictions for political offences of several smas-
hers of the Nat West Assembly, by which these mem-
bers are deprived of their right to sit anyjoager u
such. The conclusions of the committee are edema
for immediate dkAlance.
M. Martin d• Bourges rose to protest arbor. the
sentence, bet was stopped by the prurient,. 111
Duple, who called him to order. M. Maths, how-
ever, continued to protest against what he called the
most unjust prosecution. The president again invited
him to keep . within the bound. of the question
under ditemma, and within the limits of good
breeding. This rebuke raised a tumult en
the benches of the Mountain. Questions and
answers were burled from side to side with such
voices u to prevent M. Dupin's bell from being
heard. The president himself was convicted by the
Chamber of Peers!" " Marshal Ney was mooted by
a decree of the same Chamber!" cried seven' voices.

In the midst of the nobs, M. Huila Nord endea-
voured to continue his speeds, when M. Deem,
collating his remaining strength, called him a third
time to order, and called on the Assembly to paw a
vote of censure. This, amidst an inexpressible excite-
ment, was done be a large majority.
Quiet being restored, the resolution declaring that
the members convicted at Versailles have forfeited
their seats passed by a great majority, the Mountain
crying " \rive la Republique!" as the announcement
of the vote was made.

M. Pia:story then rose to put bin questions on the
subject of Greece, and having done so, he wu fol-
lowed by M. Cavaignac, who thought that, as it was
publicly stated that the French government had been
taken as mediator in the matter, the question should
be adjourned. Accordingly, the Chamber passed to
the order of the day.
The duel pending between MM. Leo de Laborde
end Richardet has not 'taken place, the matter
having been arranged.
