mum)

M. Etienne Feuillant---,, The proposition that
has been made by our colleague is of the greatest
interest.• h think that, with refervitee to the regula-
tion in my hand, we way pass to the discitssion of
the proposition, without ever sending it to the lin-
reaux. I !onto] my opinion on Article the 37th of
the Regulations."

Seeeral voices.)—" Supported! supported!"
The President—" I am obliged to say, that the
Regulation has not clearly ontiripated the present
circumstance ; it is only after the developemeut of
a proposition that the Chamber ca►n proceed on it
without transm,ttiog it to the bureaux. The pro-
position has nut been yet developed."

M. de Bouville—" I had prepared some notes on
the same subjectt, and if M. Sesmaisons postpones
or withdraws his ploTiosition. I will immediately

renew it."

A general cry from all parts of " Supported."

NI. Malvin:art Bail'col opposed the regulation.
lie tuns Frequently interrupted. A great agitation
pervaded the astkenddy.

M. S,:miaiinie.--" The wish of the Assembly
appears so manifest, that I will read the derclope-
'tient of my piopositioo.
" When till unforeseen event suddenly arises to
disturb public security, it is tiecessary to penetrate
the causes. Policy itself requires an inquiry.
" Although we may speak of the little importance
atthelted to the flight of Lavalette, the conspirator
of the 20th of March may have found some old,
perhaps some new accomplices, and, restored to
liberty, may still do much injury to his country.
" The flight of Lavalette is, perhaps, milling
more thins an industrious effort of conjugal tender-
ness; but this opinion may be disputed, and the
Deputies of France require certainty.

" After the urrM of the ;7ourt of Assizes, France I
applauded a severity which cost the King so much,
and the voice of the nation ratified the judgment.
I low then did it happen that so much delay occur-
red in expediting and transmitting the amt to the
Court of Cassation, mil in expediting the decision
of this Court, and in sending the docninent, ? if
it were the case of an obscure criminal, would he
not have been winched ..... eeusine• ky ►l'W ty

" A Marshal of France has expiated with his
life all execrable treason, which had led astray
part of the army, %slide his accomplice, at least as
Cseard, at the very moment he was de-
manded by the tuitional justice. It is our ditty to
inform ourselves, by the responsible Ministers of
the Crown, of the causes of such an event. May
they, in their elucidation, free themselves from the
appalling responsibility that weighs on their heads
" I move that the Keeper of the Seals and the
Minister of the Police he desired to give the neces-
sary explanations respecting the escape of Lava-
lette."
M. de Bouville—" A great criminal has escaped
front justice, by a scheme too easy to he unknown
to the most obscure criminals. The prison of the
Coiniergerie is the best disposed to prevent the
escape of prisoners. AII circumstances manifest a
criminal connivance. How could a man, disguised as
a woman, pass so many gaolers, without having his
sex discovered ? He had not the freedom of his
hands, W huldl, it seems, covered his face. Could
this large and tall man be clothed in the appal el of
a small and delicate woman, without benig brilayed
by a disguise so grotesque, without being discover-
ed even by his sobs, iv hidi are said to lune affected
