Chamber of Peers.)
M. de Tracy went into an examination of the bill, which he
characterised as unconstitutional, and in no way justified 4y ne-
cessity. All the meanuret whin kifisters had for some time pro-
posed were aibitiary, though legal.—(Loud murmurs from the
centre.)
The Minister for Foreign Affairs examined the principal mo.
lives on which those relied Who Opposed the credit demanded.
He thought that the Chamber could not be ignorant that the
sums already voted were insuffic;ent if war were necessary. He
then mentioned the evacuation, of Italy by Austria. Do you ima-
gine, said he, that the Government is not deeply occupied with
the fate of Italy, and that couriers are not daily despatched ?
Trust to the humanity of the rilinlstrV.—(Cheers ) M. Sebastiani
concluded by etpressing a hope that-the Chamber would not re.
fuse to the Government the means of rendering peace certain;
for, said he, it is with that intention that Ministers are preparing
for war, its prudence foreseeing the necessity of keeping the
country ready for every event.
The Chamber then proceeded to the discussion of the list
Article, as amended by the Committee, which runs as follows
Art. 1. In case of necessity, the Government is authorised
in the interval between the Sessions-of Imo and Ism,
to carry
h..a ;.YrdOlitlatice of urgency the credit and sup-
pliesahV—ady graded to a further sum of 100,000,000 francs.
' M. Ganneron proposed to substitute for the words "In case of
necessity," the words, in case of war."
The President a the Council declared that it was owing to
the first reception
this pplica• tion met With that the Govern-
ment had succeeded in obtaining the evacution of Italy, because
it was well known that war was not carried on by mere phrases,
but by men andrrioney. q'he Minister then replied to the objec-
tions taken on thegrounds of the measure being unconstitutional,
and ofthegreat aniount of the rants already made, none of which
however, were intended as a firovision for war.
M Berryer derfianded an ixplicit declaration from the Go-
vermrient, whether the law *as intended to meet any new in-
ternal ex pences.
Lafitte said the object of the Government was clear. 'I he
word necessity had been nsed instead of the word war, as snore
suitable ; but it was evident that the latter case was only in con-
templation. Means- had been required for setting on foot
430,000 men, but difficulties had arisen, and it had become ne-
cessary to put an ehd to the present state of things, which was
neither that of peace nor wan The Government wished to be
enabled is say tb foreigners—" We are deSirons of peace, and to
obtain it we have the means of bringing immediately into the
field an army of 480,000 men. It should be understood that the
t..n0,006,000 francs have been employed in putting the army upon
the footing of peace, and that the 100,000,000 francs now de-
manded are destined to put the army in motion in case of war."
He concluded by declaring he could not believe that there would
be one voice against the Bill.—(Cheers.)
M. Ganneron then withdrew his amendment.
The ensemble of the law was carried by a majority of 246 to 51.
Adjourned.

CHAMBER OF PEERS.—SITTING OF APRIL I-I.
The President of the Council presented the Electoral Law as
again amended by the Deputies, and justified the return to the
qualification of '2(10 francs of taxes, on the ground of the delay
which an adoption of the Peers' amendrneht would create. He
then read the additional article, which was immediately referred
to the Committee.

The Duke Decazes begged ;to be 'allowed to take advantage
of the presence of the President of the Council to ask him for
explanations upon words uttered in another place yesterday. An•
Honourable General had imputed to the Count St. Aulaire, the
King's Ambassador at Rome, language which was equally incon.
sistent with his private character and the public ottice with which
he was invested, and at variance with the political principles he
had professed from the commencement of his Parliamentary
career, and, he might also say, with the principles of the Go-
vernment itself. Instructions given to our Ambassador have
been talked of, and he has been made to say that his instructions
were in conformity with the conduct of the Austrians. I am
not acquainted with his instructions, but I do know that if they
had been such he would never have accepted the Embassy, and
that they never could have proceeded from Ministers who hold
such noble sentirnetits as those uttered yesterday by the President
of the Council.

The President of the Council replied—Not only, was the
statement with respect to the Count de Saint Aulaire incor.
rect, but the protest he delivered upon his arrival at Rome proves
that he followed his instructions. I will also add that, even if
the instructions of the Government had not laid down the line of
conduct he was to pursue, the Count de St. Aulaire had but to
consult his own feelings and judgment, to justify the confidence
placed in him by the Ring. Since lam called upon by this
Chamber to enter into explanations relating to transactions in
Italy, 1 will take the opportunity of acquainting it that we have
just received an official communication from Vienna, that by the
present tithe the Austrians will have retired from Rome and the
Roman States. This retrograde march is the answer to the calm
but firm note we felt it our duty to direct our Ambassador to
address to the Austrian Cabinet ; but at the same time it is but
just to declare that orders for the evacuation' had preceded the
delivery of this note.—(Hear, hear.)
"CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES—SITTING OF APRIL 16.
" The sitting commenced at two o'clock, and the Chamber pro-
ceeded to the report of the commission for petitions.
" M. de Lessert presided.
" An observation was made by M. de Tracy in consequence of
one of the petitions, read by a reporter, relating to a law which
had already been passed in this House. M. de Tracy thought it
was the duty of the Commissioners to examine the petitions,
and to bring those forward which related to any question before
that House during the deliberation of the same.
M. de Jolivet defended at the tribune a prefect of la Garonne
who had been accused of falsifying the late elections, and who
had made a demand to this Chamber to justify his defence.
" M. de Tracy reported a petition of some of the students at
law, tending to abolish the monopoly of the Royal Colleges, and
some other abuses of the same ; and was seconded by M. Bizieu
du Lezard.

" The Minister of Public Instruction, M. Vatismenil, then
, ascended the tribune to oppose the petition, inasmuch as it
tended te.the entireabolution of the monopoly of the University;
but said that it was the intention of Government nevertheless to
facilitate as soon as possible the rights of free edactation ac.
corded by the Charter to all citizens.
Al. de Tracy proposed from the Commission that the peti-
tion should be •referred to the Minister of Public Instruction,
and particularly recommended to his care. The Chamber
adopted the:propOoial of the Ciiinniission.
31:-(16. Tracy reported a petition from the inhabitants. of
Marseilles; 'detrianding that 'the officers of the Hohenlohe regi—
ment Should be ineprporated in 'French army, in con Sequence
of the Tfononrible conduct 'aratgreat services rendered by them
to that'toWn during the revolution of July last. This was op.
posed by some of the deputies, as not being according to the
'charter. But M: de Tracy backed the petition, and proposed
from the commission that the petition should be recommended to
the Minister of the War department. The Chamber adopted
the proposal.
" There were 'no other petitions of sufficient interest to be
noted. The order of this day' contains likewise the discussion
on M. Murat'a 'demand relative to the abolishing of a law of
115162.eicluding the family of Buonaparte from the French ter-
ritory but at four o'clock the question had not yet come on."

(PAIUTE CORRESPONDENCE.)
PARIS; APRIL 16.-Although the journals of this day will be
found to contain much interesting matter from Poland, there is
nothing absolutely new from that quarter. The affairs of Italy
are deemed to hare assumed a favourable aspect-and the ap-
prehension of war, arising out of the questiOn respecting the oc.
cupancy of Luxembourg, has experienced considerable diminu-
tion. In the face , f those cheering circumstances the Funds de-
clined yesterday.
