PARIS, WED:can/ILT, 6 30 P.M.
The debate on the law that was to determine the
rate of the insurgentaof June, is only worth recording
for i.s result. The Assembly has deci:;ed that these
miogaided men should be transpoeted to Algeria. Of
the debate which arose upon each a subject, it is
hardly necessary. to say that it was personal and not
leas disgraceful in the scenes which it gave rise to
than many of its predecessors. The decision I have
mentioned was resumed in the Ist clause of the bill,
which paised. Other clauses were left for debate to-
day. As °Le of the scenes of the debase has given
rise to a hostile meeting, I give you a report of
it. After the close of the general deb.te,
M. de Testelin proposed as an amendment," to have
the insurgents sent before councils of war," and, in
doing so, he took the opportunity, he said, to state
that a member of the majority had on the previous
day attired a threat to the minister of the interior
against the President of the Republic, declaring
"we will pais the bill, but if the Pr:sideut pardons
any one of these men, as he has already done, let him
beware!" (Agitation.) It was M. de Kerdrel who
said sr. (Continued agitation.)
M. F. Barrot, the minister of the interior, denied
that anything in the shape of a threat bad been ut-
tered—be would not have allowed it. The President

sTocild always be prepared to execute faithfully what-
ever laws were voted by the Assembly.
M. de Kerdrel said that he was the person who had
conversed with the minister et the interior the day
before. (Cries of "Do not reply r)
M. de Caylin—D.) not reply to such a shameful act
of t spiocage.
M. de :Sialleville—lt is before M. Carlier that such
a ctarge ought to be replied to.
M. de Kerdrel was about to proceed, when loud
cries of " No, no!" met him as he ardse. He said—

m too euirmiseive • mecebtr of the honour•

party to which I belong to oppose their will. I con-
seqwntlymake the sacrifice of my own wishes to
theirs. (Hear, hear.)
A scene of g eat confusion here ensued, several
members, and amongst the rest M. Testtlin and M.
Beaune, attempting to make themselves heard by the
Assembly. Loud exclamations proc-eled from every
aide.
M. de Herdrel again ascended the tribune, and said
that, u his silence might be misinterpreted, he must
ask permission to speak. He had the day before,
when the sitting was virtually over, no more than 20
or 30 persons being in the Clamber waiticg for the
result of the dtvi.ioo, been engaged with the minister
of the interior in familiar conversation, and when so,
he certainly never once supposed that any represen-
tative would act the eaves-dropper. (Sensation.)
On the Right—lt is disgraceful.
Oa the same side—They are a set of spies.
M. de Kerdrel had to affirm that he had made no

threat whatever. He had merely mimed ids re-
feitt that on a late occasion the Assembly had been
ived of the credit of voting an amnesty, which,
a ew day. after, had been granted from another
qaarter.
M. Testelin ascended the tribune, and was greeted
with cries of " eaveedropper; listener at doors!" He
was no eaves-dropper. The sitting was not over —he
masidered that he was performing a duty. (A Voice.
—"The duty of a spy.") He thought that he disco-
vered the indications of a system
A Voice—Was that a reason to report falsely the
words of M. de Kerdrel ?
The amendment was then put to the vote and re-
jected.
Two gentlemen on each side were deputed to ar-
range the terms of a hostile meeting between M. de
Coylin and M. de Testelin. They determined that
the sabre should be the weapn used, and this
morning the opp nuts met. M. de Coylin received
a sabre cut, which opened the scalp without pene-
trating the bone. Both the adversaries fought with
their hats on. The hat of M. de Coylin probably
saved his life.
The debate on the law of transportation was re-
named to-day, and General d'Hautpiol intormed the
Assembly that the place chosen for the penal colony
of Algiers is Lambessa, situate on the declivity of the
Ores mountains, Lot far from Banns. The place is
well known for its salubrity, being protected from
the sirocco and its bad influences. The debate upon
I article second was ing at poet-hour.
According to a tar ;tellished by the administration
of indirect taxes, 288 beetroot sugar manufactories
were at the end of December at work in 17 depart-
mews. viz: 142 in the Nord, 69 in the Paa-de-Calais,
29 in the Aisne, 23 in the Somm , stc., being 5 more
then in 1848. Eight otters had st peke of sugar, but
wen not working. The quantity manufactured dar-
ing the season is 30,126,722 kilogramme, being
6,912,276 kilo,. more than in 1848, and the quantity
in consampton is 12,713,939 kiln., or 1,785,919
kilos. more than in the previous year.
A few nights since a band of individuals at Saint
Ron 7, atter parading through the place singing
"gib al enn4s, mingled with cries of " Vire la Ite-
rblique &cede and went into a café, usually frt.
treated by young men of known orderly habits, but
wave soon after compelled to withdraw by the
snivel of some gendarmes. One of them, however,
essiesaled himself near the house, and on one yams
mei coming out he fired a pistol at him, and wounded
