great numbers of people, who cheered her Majesty

A Scene in the French Corps Legislatii:

•
A discussion arose a few days ago on the questieu
of the return for the district of Les deux Sevres'
M. Glais-Bizoin led the Opposition, and loud were
the denunciations of the Government interference.
M. de Morny sat there impassable.
M. tilais-Bizoin—This election is most serio_usli
opposed. The majority obtained by M. Lasmonnia
(the Government candidate) was only 170, I am
here loudly to assert. (Loud cries of "No one can
hear you.")
M. le President—M. Glas-Bizoin, we cannot hear
a word you say.
M. Glais-Bizoin—ln order to hear, President,
you must first listen.
M. le President—True; but, in order to be heard,
you must speak up.
M. Glais-Bizoin—l will. Gentlemen, this prin-
ciple has been maintained, that the Government
has a right to interfere in the elections. This prin
ciple I deny. Let us say no more about it.
(Loud cries of " Yes, do not say anything more
about it," great laughter, and " divide, divide.")

M. le President—As M. Glais Bizoin appears dis-
posed to speak frequently, and that we are doomed
to listen to him, I have the honour to inform him
that the reporters only report what they hear.
Now, the reporters have sent to inform me that they
have ❑ot heard one word that M. Glais Bizoin has
said. (Br uyante hilarite.)
Poor M. Glais Bizoin, he was not satisfied, and
returned to the charge next day, but M. de IVlorne9
was ready for him.
The prods verbal of the yesterday's proceedings
was read.

M. Glais Bizoin—Gentlemen, the report of our
discussions are placed under the control of the Pre-
sident, and impartially should preside at oar deli'
berat ions.

(Cries of " We don't hear you.")
M. le President—Yesterday I informed the hon.
gentleman that we could not hear him, sad I in-
vited him to take a place more in the centre of the
chamber. To-day I have to repeat my observation,
that no one can hear him.
M. Glass-Bizoin—lt is not my fault, if we are now
compelled to speak from our places.
M. le President—Then do what others do; cheese
your place and come nearer me.
M. Glaia-Bizoin—descends with solemn steps, and
places himself exactly in front of the President.
M. wais_Bizeie—Gentlemen, if impartiality
should preside at our discussions, it its not carried out
in our reports. The speeches of the partisans of
the Government are reported with frequent marks
of approbation. Those of the Opposition are, orl,
the contrery, followed by sarcastic comments,
such as " loud exclamations," "great noise,''
Bz:c. I am Willing to admit that during
the second part of ray speech yesterday the
noise drowned my voice ; but for me there is
something much more serious than such inter-
ruptions. The President, in very courteous 0"
kind terms, advised me to speak louder, and assurcil
tile the reporters could not hear me. Ido nut stoV
to consider 'whether the excellence of the report
really does depend on the egtB of toe reporters; but
what I pretest against are the sarcastic remarks
inserted by the President ; for instance, after
observations the other day I read laughter,' 3ffil
then prolonged laughter.' Now, as I will not
submit to be laughed at, either in the house or out
of it, I hope that the President will for the future
reserve his comments?'
M. le President—l will answer the observations
of the Hon. M. Glais-Biz,-.)in. The observations 1
made yesterday were well intended.. lie certainly
did excite hilarity, and when this is inserted in the
Moniteur it is a mere question of degree; and i
will call the whole Chamber to bear witness to /309
impartiality.
