MADRID, Nov. 8.
The sitting of the Chamber of Deputies was taken
up with the verification of powers. The committee
on the address was to hear the ministers. The
Drench ambassador was daily expected back.
Nov. 7.

The Cortes held a sitting today, in whiCh.aZine
sharp debating,took place upon the wholesale bribery
and intimidation employed by the government at the
elections. The discussion was began by Fernandez
Beets, a member of the :opposition, who felt himself
obliged to rise and accuse the government. because the
Home Department had taken ears to keep out of the
Chamber men who might ban done so more an-
tually. During the election some *teeters bad their
houses searched and their peewee arrested, under the
pretext that they had been smuggling, in order to
prevent them from going to the poll. He then
went on to detail other similar sots. Senor
Cecina, the deputy of the district raluded to, rose
to reply in a maiden speech, which went on
swimmingly for the first five minutes, when he broke
down, alter some preliminary stammering, to the
great amusement of the galleries, which, as usual,
were filled with law and medical students. The
Chamber, composed as it is of anisterialista, for the
meet part confirmed the election. On the report upon
the Barbeetro election being read, Mados, the Catalo-
nian deputy, rose, and began to lament that the men
who bad accompanied him in his parliamentary career
daring 16 years bad bass kept out of the Chamber b
the intrigues of the Home Minister, Finding himself
alone. he woad not have oonsen'ed to come here;
but, knowing that the press is not free, and that indi-
vidual liberty is menaced every day, be thought
that he ought to raise his voice in the only tri-
bunal in which an appearance of freedom was left.
Innen enumerated a series of election monmenes,
amongst others that of the controllers of the taxes,
seezskt who lowered or ted the ems to be paid to the
government to the maser in whisk the

the government bad need no coercion against them ;
but on the contrary, bad an interest in seeing more
members of the opposition to enlighten the govern-
meat with their experience. Other members of the
Chamber, among them the finance minister, denied
the statements of the opposition. (!) A number of re-
ports of elections were then read and approved of,
after which the Chamber adjourned.

4 PAWL MONDAY RTIMING.
A decree appears !albs 3leciteter. epsiating Gene-
ral Outselller to the head eseinead of theleth and
15th military dividing, la Ibe stead 11i General
Neumayer, who is plass& it diemebilllga.
A semi!ellicial node* is en lifetelear says that
General Neumayer had dunning ise be placed on
half-pay. The President et the &labile, taking into ,
consideration his former services; has maintained him
la the cadre of activity.
Much greater sensatioa his been made to-day by
aa ingenious satire in a newspaper than by the re-
opening of the Legislative Assembly. The Presse
published this morning a document entitled " Message
of the President of the Republic to the Legislative
Assembly," and signed L. N. Bonaparte. People
stared at first to see this extraordinary apparent fore-
stalment of an official document which had not yet
b.-esen submitted to the presses of the National print-
ing office, and which was known to be guarded with
the most jealous secrecy. But a httls inspection
showed the thing to be a hoax. Under the successive
heads of Internal Policy, Taxes and Budgets,
Laborious Classes, Agriculture, Industry, Com-
merce, Instruction, Law., the most radical
principles appeared clothed in a rhetorical garb un-
known to the official school. Still it was not easy to
account for the name of the President being attached
to a document so manifestly apocryphal. The fact is
that M. Girardin had got together a heap of pam-
phlets, published at various epochs by M. Louis Na-
poleon Bonaparte, and taking a pair of scissors cut
thereout and watered together this notable pseudo
message, edifying patchwork, significant of the
changes which have come over the mind of Louis
Napoleon since he has been installed in the presiden-
tial chair. This ingenious custom has been the sole
talk of Paris all this livelong day, and great was
the buzzing of the Bourse over the singular
production. The sensation produced in high regions,
as the phrase is, was of vehement displeasure. An
official communication of the following tenour was
immediately rent to the Pouvoir, the Patrie, and the
Mora cur du Soir. . "The article published by the
Prase of this morning, under the the title of ' Message
of the President of the Republic to the Legislative
Assembly,' is nothing but a collection of fragments
borrowed from sundry publications composed at
different epochs by the President. Public opinion
will appreciate the fairness; of such a compilation.
(Communicated.)" Another official communication
to the same organ is as follows: "The Procurenr of
the Republic has caused to be ;seized at the post and
in its offices the journal La Press*, for the pub-
lication of an article, entitled, Rentrie de
r Assembles National, which contains a document
11,aded " Message of the President of the Republic to
the Legislative Assembly," and signed "L. N. Bona-
parte." A prowcaion has been instituted against the
permit of the Preset), under the inculpation of having
published, with bad faith, false news, and a document
forged and mendaciously attributed the same to •
third party; which news and document were of a
nature to disturb the public peace. (Communicated.)"
The commissioner of the Bourse caused to be posted
up at the Bourse the following notice :—" The pre-
tended message of the President of the Republic pub-
lished this morning by the Preue, is a completely
apocryphal document. This journal has just been
seized.' The latest report upon this subject is, that
M. Girardin himself had been arrested.

The Assembly met to-da to resume its legislative
labours, bat without any solemnity. A great crowd
of people, mostly of the lower orders, thronged the
Place de la Concorde and the approaches of the
bridge. After the names of members were called,
and the absent ascertained, a demand to authorise the
prosecivion of M. Chavoix, for having killed M.Dupont
in a duel, was read, and some remarks were made on
the precedents of the Assembly in such matters by M.
Leo de Laborde, by the Minister of Justice, and M.
Crernieux. The chief business of the sitting con-
sisted of shaking hands and embracing, cougrat alating
and greeting. A slight movement of attention was
apparent whom M. Dupin announced the presentation
by M. Base, one of the questors, of a motion relative to
the commisearyship of the police of the Assembly, the
suspension of M. Yon'i pay by the prefect Curlier
having much incensed the men of the majority. The
'sitting was short, and of no importance. Conversa-
tion turned upon the new tarn given to the Neurnayer
affair, by the appointment of Oen. Ouesviller, a de-
cided Bonapartist, to the command of the military
divisions in Britany, and upon the strange hoax of
the Presse about the President's message.
The President's meessge has already been put under
press, when it was determined, in consequence of the
appearance of the mock message in the Prease, to
effect some alterations, and a cabinet-council is held
to-night for the purpose of making these changes. No
authentic version of the message can therefore he ob-
tained before to-morrow.
M. de l'inguy laid on the bureau a motion relative
to the electoral law of May 31.
The strictest orders were given to all the sentinels
on duty to exclude all persons not properlye authorised
to enter the court of the legislative palace.
