',I-MX(I Or MARCH 30.

The sitting commenced at two o'clock. The President,
Delese.ert, occupied the chair.
Tits boxes of the spectators were much more crowded
than they have been for some days past.
The House proceeded to the continuation of the dis-
mesion on the Association.

M. Bernard commented by saying that he declared him-
self as having signed the Association which bad been
attacked in yesterday's sitting, and that it was more as an
accused criminal that he ascended the tribune, than in the
quality of a Deputy. After a short preface, in which be
thought that the attack which had been made upon the
Association was unjust and violent," and be said that
although he did not by any means wish to make com-
parisons between the present and past governments, not-
withstateling, under the government of Charles X. such
eseaciations were not considered as criminal. This asso-
ciation, he continued, had received its impetus at the time
of the revolution, and that it was purely formed with the
intention of using all their endeavours to exclude the fallen
family from the sail of France, to protect the country from
foreign arm, despotism, and the chance of future dis-
turbances. They had been accused of being opposed to
the Government. This accusation he defended with much
address, first by considering the thing for an instant as
the case, and proving that it could be no injury to the
Government and secondly, by proving that it was not the
case. Ile then attacked a proposition of M. Dupin's
as to that association and all others being considered
as public assemblies, and having the law now treated upon
relative to mobs applied lieewile to associations. He con-
sidered the association to which he belonged as a merito-
rious one, and one which was entirely composed of good
citizens, and to which all good citizens ought to belong ;
and was, then, the good citizen, sitting in council for the
good of his country, to he treated as a disturber of the
public peace, and to be obliged to withdraw at the third
" sommation," or, bow was he to be treated ? Was there
a particular case to be made for him, or an amendment,
perhaps, proposed to the article of M. Dupla ?—(Witlt
sarcasm.)—And there never was a man to whom the
country owed perhaps the greater part of her present
liberty—(this related. to M. de Lahorde)—who, at the
time the ordinances of July were pehlisl.e,l, as:annbled his
friends and other persons at his house (he himself was one
of them), and from his house they repaired to the house of
tbe present President of the Council (Casimir Perrier),
where they held a meeting, and decided upon the steps
that ought to be taken ; and that was the man who must
now he deprived of all his functions, or renounce the as-
sociation, break AR oath he had taken, and thus appear
like a coward in the eyes of all Europe : he finished by
declaring that he (M. Bernard) intended to continue of
the association, and considered that he only acted as a
worthy man and citizen in doing so.
M. Dupin (sine) then answered the accusation laid
Lgainst him. He had not proposed that the association
should be considered as a turbulent one; but only pro-
posed that, were it necessary, and that any assembly should
be formed contrary to the proceedings of Government,
that then the law for the suppression of mobs should be
Applied, and that he had by no means considered the " As-
sociation for the Independence of the Country" as opposed
to Government, or the present system ; but that all asso-
ciations might become so, although in their origin their
intention was not such; and that it was necessary to take
the precautions they could against such evils.
M. Jea, against the association, made a long speech,
during which he entertained the Chamber with some
events that had occurred to him during his residence in
the United States.
I. C. Perrier, the President of the Council of Minis-
tera, ascended the tribune to acquaint the Chamber and
the nation with the view in which the Government consi-
dered these associations, so that those who were proposed
to belong to them might know first what they were likely
to subject themselves to. He then showed that evil might
arise from those associations, in reading an article made
by the association under the name of " Aide-toi, le Ciel
t'aidera," and the Government would consider all political
associations as mistrustful of their honour and actions. He
confuted some interpretations of General Lafayette relative
to the 100,000,000 that had been demanded
.by Govern-
ment. He said that that Hon. Deputy was
mistaken, that
the 100,000,000 were by no means connected with the
affairs of Poland, they were merely as a measure of pre-
caution. And that now, relative to the affairs of Italy, the
French Gorernrnent were making negotiations Which they

,‘ hoped' would tviacceash..l, sec: ectaily satisfactory to
both the countries concerned.

I TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
rACIIANGE or PARIS, MARCH 28.—The contract of
a loan of one hundred and twenty millions was announced
to-day by the Moniteur, and we had then reason to ex-
pect a decline in the Funds ; it is, in fact, the interest of
thote who offer to become contractors to keep the Funds
low in order to obtain the loan on more favourable terms.

Advantage has been taken of the state of the people's
minds to spread various alarming reports—among others,
the occupation of Rome by the Austrian•, and the declara-
tion nait3 to have been made by our Government, that if
that capital were not evacuated at a certain time, it would
be obliged to support its demand by arms.
Though the news may be only the repetition of one of
those mino.livres so often employed on 'Change, it easily
met with credit among distrustful and discouraged specu-
lator,. _ _ _

PARIS, MARCH 29.—Yesterday the King gave a pri-
vate audience to Count d'Appony, the Austrian Ambas—
sador. The audience lasted about an hour.
His Majesty transacted business successively with the
Ministers of Foreign Affairs, Marine, Commerce, War,
Finance, and Justice.
Count de Celles had the honour of an audience of the

King.
M. Leopold de Balthasar, ex-pupil of St. Cyr, has pre-
sented himself before the Juge d'lnstruction as the person
who offered the lithographic portrait of the Duke of Bor-
deaux to the catafalque of the Duke of Berri.
A letter from Marseilles of the 16th of March says—
" Daring the last six months of 1830, there entered into
the port of Marseilles 1161 ships ; and sailed 653 more
than in the corresponding period of 1829. In the last
six months of 1827 (query 1829), no ship from the Black
Sea entered our port; at the end of 1830 ninety-three
arrived. It is well known that this branch of commerce
is the most advantageous to our city, and especially to the
labouring classes. Now we owe these benefits to the re-
volution of July; they are the effect of the law proposed
by M. Guizot. This fact, added to the increase of the
receipt of the Octroi, and of the duties on weighing and
measuring at Marseilles, seems to he a triumphant reply
to those who represent our city as a prey to distress since
the revolution of July."
The Moniteur of to-day (23d) says—" That the
number of the troops reviewed by the King was erro-
neously stated at first about 30,110 men. The reader
would easily perceive that such precision did not agree
with the word about. It should be about 50,000 men."

A Journal having spoken of the sale of some cannon
on the sea coasts by the la'e Government as a very alarm-
ing affair, the .Moniteur says, that the cannon sold were
found by two Special Commissioners to be wholly rinser.
viceable, as they could not be discharged without danger
of bursting, they were sold to a company, which en-
gaged to furnish new copper and other metal fit for cast-
ing cannon in exchange for the old iron in the arsenals,
and these cannon could not be considered as any thing
more than old iron. However, those have been still
retained which may be used without 6nger. Measures
have been taken to complete the number of iron cannon
which are requisite for the defence of the coast.
" M. Casimir Perrier," says the Tribune, " wishing to
make a display of force in foreign policy, has addressed a
note to Count d'Appony, the Austrian Ambassador, de:
mauling explanations as to the occupation of Bologna by
the Austrian troops ; and this time has said, very seriously,
that France could not con,ent. The' Ambassador replied.
that the occupation of Bologna had been concerted be-
tween Prussia, Russia, England, and Austria; and that
the Austrian Government were resolved to stifle rebellion
wherever it might break out."
The Journal des Debuts has the following, upon the
question at this moment at issue between France and
Austria:—" The declaration made to the Chamber
of Deputies on Monday, by the President of the
Council, is a complete and noble answer to the party
ivho, since his entrance into office, have accused him of
being determined on peace, cost what it may. Since the
glorious part we acted in the affairs of Belgium, this is
the first occasion on which foreign intervention could be
injurious either to the honour or interests of France.
Well ! M. Casimir Perrier does not hesitate to demand ex-
planations, which, supported by an army of 500,000 men,
cannot fail to be honourable to the party who calls for
them. There are persons who conceive that it would be
better to open negotiations at the cannon's mouth. These,
no doubt, imagine that it is not sufficiently to the honour
of France to cause Bologna to be evacuated by a mere
note of threats. The explanations must be candid and
distinct, and delivered without delay; for, though it may
not yet have become a cause for war, it is a point of ho-
nour, and M. Casimir Perrier has promised us to obtain
satisfaction. Let us wait for it, and rely, in order to form
a judgment of the part that France ought to play, upon a
Ministry who have declared themselves boldly to be the
jealous defenders of her interests, and the wise, but proud,
guardians of her power."
The Monitore Bolognese, of the 18th instant, contains
the following notice, issued by the President of the Cham-
ber of Representatives of the United Provinces of Italy :
" In compliance with the wishes of the Provisional Go-
vernment and the public, the meeting of the Representa-
tives, which was adjourned to the 31st instant, will take
place on the 20th. The assembly will not only discuss
the elector ,l law, but also consider the extraordinary means
necessary 1.,r supplying the urgent wants of the State.
" ANTONIO ZANOBINI."
Another decree, of Niarch 16, runs—
" Considering that the main power of States is in the

troops which arc destined ko defend them, and findisg that
the troops which have been enrolled hitherto ari inf.
ficient for the vervice of the country, whia: the nuiber of
those who wish to str,:., in the army is very consicirable,
the Provisii:nil Government directs that an enrollnent of
vz.,*.un';:eers for eight regiments be set on foot in me dif-
ferent towns."

A third decree, of the same date, appoints the fttrects
and Vice-Prefects of the provine.s, the
Counts Francesco taril*sti, Pienia.; r.duirflo tabbri,
of Ce‘luna t Pep° n'ancesco Mauoni,
