CIIAMBER OF PEERS.
IUILLETIN OF THE SITTING OF WEDNESDAY,
DECEMBER JO.

The Marquis de Lally Tolendal submitted a
proposition to the Chamber, which decided that
it should he entert.iined.

The Chamber also decided, that it should enter-
tain another proposition, renewed by its original
proposer, the Due de Levis, tending to the corn-
plete abolition of the Moil d'Anbaine. This pro-
position had been adopted by the Chamber in the
last Sepias', but the close of the Session not having
permitted the measure to be completed, its author
has now again produced, and the Chamber will
again emert,iin it.
The I lirinber then derided that a Grand Depu-
tation should be charged to proceed in the name of
the Peers of France to compliment the King on the
new year. Twenty Veers were then chosen by lot,
who, with the Members of the Bureau and the
Grand Referendary should compose the deputation.
