valettt into her husband's chamber. llerotteiulani
atuldaoghter were ailha received. 'low does Whop-
petfithah after tins there was oely one turnkey im-
plicated ? • I demand that the Chamber immedi-
ately nominate a Committee, charged to collect
every circuilistauce that may bear on the conduct of
Miuistera in this oftsir."
A great tumult : some • crying " Yes!" others,
" No ! no!"
151. Bellart—" A great misfortune has occurred,
not so much from the importance of the event it-
self, as from the circumstances connected with it.
Permit Me to remind you of the rules observed in
the prosecution of crimes. Deign to believe lily
word of honour ; if the criminal were obscure, the
same delays would not have been observed;
" After the sentence of death. the Isne. allow,
the condemned three.the a to make. !i•is applicatioe,
ten days to furnish his request. Oaring these thir-
teen days, the Attorney-General could send the
papers to, the Minister, and submit the fate of the
condemned to his determination. (Here the Speaker
entered into details of the several delays established
in the crindisal code, and stated that the confirmation
of the deeree had been expedited before Monday.)
Ora that day the Keeper of the Seals received a
prayer for respite. Ile thotight it his duty to sub-
suit it to the King. %Vas that a crime ?"
Several voices---" No, nn."
M. Bellart—" On Tuesday, at half-past one,
the papers arrived, and at four o'clock the neces-
sary orders for the execution were given. The
Keeper of the Seals is therefore irreproachable.
Undoubtedly there was some negligence in the
prison. It was an error to soy that only one turn-
key was implicated—several are accuied. Proceed-
ings are cremenetsced, and iliiiiretion prevents me
from *eying more respecting them. The proposal
of 'our Colleague seems to de inconvenient."—
(Mummer.)
M. de Saint Romain—" I read, in the lomat
des Deimos, of the ("2:2 I, ass expo'. of the escape of
Lavalette, taken from good sources, and %%hick
ought to inspire distrust. It appears that the
Keeper or the Seals favoured"---
A !reat tumult. Cries of " Order ! Order !"
The President—" Permit Inns, at least, to.
finish the sentence."
M. de St. Romain—" The Keeper of the Seals;
favoured, I did not say the escape of laivaiette,
hut et least every hope that remained to him."
M. Jolliv4\--" How Call this t scope give rise to
such extraort inary applications, the solemnity of
which appears to resemble a public calamity ?
(Murmurs.) —I vote for all adjournment."
M. de Kergorlay—" An inquiry is necessary.
Hevecnn. the Ministers preserve the I,uhlic confi-
dence if they avoid simple explanations ?-'
M. de Vaublatie—" I did not think that a doubt
could have existed sifter M. Bellart's speech. -.We
have seen in the Revolution in what manner the
King's Ministers were treated ; let us apprehend
the return of similer inconveniences. Writ at least
the result of the 'proceedings announced by M.
Bellart. I think then that you will receive with
indulgence my proposal, that we pass to the order
of the dav'. "

The discussion thee closed, and the Clonnlwr
decidt d by a great untiority, that it would take into
comaderatiou the proposition or M. Sennaisons,
which shall be seat to the examination of the

Bureaux. •
The President then announced, that the Cham-
ber would meet in bureaux on Tuesday, at twelve
o'clock, to examine the law on elections. If the
report on the Amnesty Pill be ready on that day,
there would be a public sitting at three o'clock, if
not, there would u Secret Committee to hear the
report on the proposition of Viscount La Roche-
foucault, relative to a general mourning. and ceir-
brution of the anniversary of the 2 lot of January.

PARIS. DEC. 25.

It is said that Lavalette, the inure effectually to
escape all search, has assumed a foreign uniform,
and that it is in this disguise he will endeavour to
get out of France. Several persons employed in
the posts, it is said, have been removed. Among
these are M. Croirrejol, who has been removed on
tic..:•runt of Lavidette's business, and M. M. Dan-
court, father and son.
Aguy, been arrested at Avignon, by the
TTi;lh,Police, charged with being a principal actor
in a popular commotion, canal by a criminal
attempt to compel 4 tribunal to commit an il:egal
severity. • •

A great number of men and women demanded,
with loud c.ies, the liberty of the prisoner; and
such has been the disorder, that the'Prefeet, with
calmness and firn iiess, openly resolved to withdraw
to Carpentras. Before he set out, he asSembled all
the authorities, and informed them of his resolution.
The departure of this Magistrate sufficed to re-
store
the public to themselves. Not only was tran-
quillity re-established, butt he matt who caused it was
again put in prison, where he is gnarded by the na-
tional guard ; and the Municipal Council has sent to
Carpetitras a deputation Ao the Prefect, etitreating
him to return to the place of his usual residence,
and promising in the name of the whole city the
most perfect submission to his orders. Thus the
troops which the Government hastened to send to
Aviriviii will only arrive to witness the repentance
of the people, the peaceable reign of the law, and
the authority of the King.
