The sitting of the Assembly was bardly missed
when M. Flandin made his appearasee in the tribune
to real Lis repent Mk the Dolrstlon Bills the Chamber
having desired to hear it in falL The mistletoes, he
said, had men twice heard by the committee in order
to giro explanations. The bill demanded the opening
of a credit of 2,400,000 fr., to be reckoned from the
Ist °limitary, for expenses of representation. The
committee expressed nearly unanimously its at
the inopportuneness of this demand. Ns ess,
it acknowledged the expediency of coming to an
understanding with ministers. The minority rem-
seated that the Constituent Assembly had not in-
tended to fix permanently the allowance of the Pre-
*idea. The committee could not admit the theory of
ministers. On the other hand, they acknowledged
that old customs did not allow the expenses of repre-
sentation of the President to bs restricted within the
narrow limits assigned by the Constituent. Without
admitting either the form or tenor of the
ministerial bill ; without admitting the motives
brought by ministers in rapport of their application;
finally, without pretending to grant a civil list, the
committee has thought it just to grant the expensts
of establishment and installation of the President.
The majority fixed at 1,600,000 fr. the figure of this
grant. It has acted es a jury, with the intention of
allowing to the President a natural compensation for
his outlay. Unfortunately, the ministers have not
thought tit to change either the terms or the spirit of
their prlmitive project. They had maintained both
the form and the tenour of this bill. They Lad re-
fused to change the &erecter of the credit. All
conciliation appearing impossible, the committee
was obliged to put the question to the
Tote. 1% in.: votes against six had rejected
the government bill. Neverthekes the majority, in
thus pronouncing itself, bad not adopted the idea of
admitting every amendment which should be pre-
sented by the minority. The majority was neither
moody nor alarmed ; it had confidence in the
governmest. One incident ought, bowevcr, to be
mentioned. While the committee was deliberating
it not it'd a petition, addressed to the National As-
sembly, signed by • great number of the inhabitaire of
Peris.prsyicgthattLe President's salary might be raised
to six millions. (Clamour on the Left.) The presi-
dent said that the report should be printed, and the
project of the allowance of 1,600,000 fr. discuseed on
Muniay. The home was agitated considerably
for some time after this communication. The

amendments of the committee are as follows :
" Art. 1. An extranrdinary credit of 1,600,000 fr. is
opened to the Minister of Finance, for the expenses
which have been incurred in 1849 and 1850, in ccnse-
eof the inatallation of the President of the
Republic. Art. 2. This credit shall be charged by
halves ttpon the budgets of 1849 and 1850."
Tie sitting broke up at six, without arty farther
eminence. if interest. The Aseembly have timed
Monday for the discussion of the question.
The elan of the Conseil d'Etat held last night an
