CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, JANuAAT I.

The ministerial bench appeared at the commence.
meat of this sitting to be demerted, but during the
report on the petitions, the Ministers, M. de Vol.
lele, the Marquis de Clermont-Tonnere, the Duke
de Helium% the Viscount de Montmorency, and
M. Corbiere, entered. Every thing announced an
important communication.
M. Hericaut de Thury made a Report from the
Commute of Petitions.
The Sieur Martin, a priest at Benque, in the
Upper Garonne, proposed, for the purpose of dis-
persing thr hail storms which devastate his deport-
ment since the peace, to estahli.h batteries of can-
non of large calibre, on the frontier% which by
their load exolosions might drive away the storms
—(general langhter.)—Without entering into the
physical learning of the petitioner, the Committee
proposed to pass to the Order of the Day, which
was adopted amidst much laughter.
The Sienr Regnult, late a curate at Anvers, a
village io the department of the Seine and Oise,
complained of a decision of the Bishop of Versailles,
interdicting him from his • sacerdotal functions.
The Committee thought that the discipline of the
church was not within the kirisdiction of the Cham-
ber, and proposed the Order of the Day, which was
adopted.
Stime other Petitions were read. The Report be-
ing ended—
The Keeper of the Seidl, M. Peyrounet, ascend-
ed the tribune and ►rid, " The King has coma
mended us to present to you a project of law rela-
tive to the police of the periodical press. —(4
lively agitation.)
" A project more general and more extensive,
the object of which, essentially distinct from that-
of the present project, is to repress without &ethic-
tion all offences committed by the press, is now
subjected to the exa iii i t taunt' of one of your Cum-
mitten.

" Every one is convinced that the licentiousness
of the press would be destructive. No one &obis
that it is necessary to regulate by a special law the
forms of public.tion. But what shall be these ►e.
gulatiotis ? flere it is, Gentlemen, that obstacles
multiply, and opinions begin to be divided. We
ought to reject as Illusory and insufficient all those
formalities of detail, all those combinations, more
ingenious than useful, of which an attentive exami-
nation will quickly show you the weakness radial-
perfection.
" Things being in this state, nothing will remain
for us but to inquire if it be possible to establish a
small number of provisons, simple and safe, which,
without violating the rights of a legitimate liberty,
nr vertheless, the chimers of impunity,
rind thus contribute to tender the excesses of the
journals less freqiient tied icor dangerous.
" But, Gentlemen, cirction,tances are not always
equally favourable to public peace, nor dors the
nature of our iiistilutloll4 permit its to receive at all
times equal succour,

" The goaracters ought to be conformable to
