CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, Atom. G.
Several Petitions were presented.

The Steer Magenthies, of Toulouse, claimed
from the Government a sum of 16,174,140 f. 77 c.
lie gave a long history of this debt, commenciog
with the journey of the Emperor Joseph 11. in the
ministry of M. de Colonise. it was with his money
that the estate and castle of Saint Cloud *ere par-
chased. He now demanded that his money should
be repitd, with interest, or that the revile of
Smelt Cloud should be surrendered to hins.—(
Istwgh.)—The Committee lamented the madness of
the Petitioner. and the Chamber passed to the
Order of the Day.

M. Simeon, from the 2d Bureau, appointed to
verify the powers of LW. Benjamin Constant, deploy
from the department of the Sartlie, stated, that Al,
M. B. Constant had fulfilled all the conditions re-
quired by law, but the Bureau found that lie wit*
born at Lausanne, and thence a question arose re..
'peeling his claims to the privileges of a Frere
man. It however appeared, that lie was descended
from one of the Protestant families bsui•hed by
the revocation of the Edict of INuotes, and by a
&este of the Constituent Assembly of ;September,
1790, it was declared that the descendants of iho-te
exiles were capable of resuitiiinz &Le rl,4l!tr of
Frenchmen, if they returned to France, and took
the civic oath.

The father of Benjamin Constant, in poirsiisnce
of this decree, took the ostli reripired, mid On -11.1 t

No objection being made to thil proposiiiron, \I.
B. Constant, who was preseut, iiiimedistely molt
the oath of a Deputy, and illA rent.
The Chamber then entered into a discussion no
