CHAMBER OF THE REPRESENTATIVES.
SITTINGS OF THE 19TII JUNE.
The prineirlsubject brought before the• Cha-
mber this day w as the report presented by Mr. De-
fermout on the: administration of the tininices 'in
ISI3 and 14 ; the projets of the Budget for 1815,.
which have not been , fully executed ; with the
projet of a law, which is the consequence of this
rine annexed to.the Report.
The .Reporter states, that ,there was a • great..
Ile6ciency in. 1813, on account of the invasion,
Ile accuses the late Government of having
exaggerated this .deficiency beyOnd "a-11 bounds, by.
-stating it'first at 1700 millions, 'aind7afterwards sit
750 millioos, though it never exceeded 150 mil-
lions, thereby obtaining a pretext to issue the
Royal buns, which, depredated fl'om the begin-
niug, would infallibly have led to the introduc-.
tion of a "paper currency : the Ml4ister proposes
thr:amonnt of these bons, as.tvell as all
the debts of the late Government, in the Grand
Livre, kb interest from the 22d:March; 1815,- -
The- Caisse ,D'Amortissement,' which the late
Government converted into a mere bureau of the
'ltorti Treasury, to receive the fUnds necessary for
Abe current expellees, iS proposA to he restored
to its orginal destination of a sinking fund. • Ad-
ding to the 14 millions which it still possesses,
four millions of revenue taken from the forests,
belonging to the -Royal and a million from
other forests, it will be able to continue its plan
of redeeming the debt.
The debt is stated at 303,605,000 francs, which
with the indemnity to be paid to the Communes
for their lands, amotutt to
,316, millions. The
fonds of the Coisse d' Antortissement may reduce the,,
annual expejice by 24 to 25 millions.
To cover the arrear of 1814, the Minister pro-
poses to apply the produce of svood to be cut
down, observing that.the late Government ex-
ceeded all due bounds in this measure. •
The Budget of 1815 is as incorrect as that of
1814 was in-promising an overplus 'of 70 millions,
while there is a deficiency of 110 minium:.
• There is no sum above the receipts, except in
the indirect contributions. The expellees of- the
war will occasion an additional expence of 120
millions.
, As the means destined to meet the extraordinary
expenses, and pay the arrears, though solid, do.
not 'otter an *unined.ate resource, and the Govern.
went consequently appears to be , poor in cash,
though in the midst of real wealth, he proposes a
national loan of .150 millions, according to the
scale of the direct contributions and payable in
the same manner from the Ist of July.
The amount of this loan is charged upon the pro-
duce of the forests to be felled.
The equipment of the National Guard makes
.-an extraordinary expense of 44 millions. This
may be met by raising all the sureties (cgutiinine-
mens)' one-fifth, -which will produce.3o
and by deducting a 20th front all salaries, from
WOG to 6000 francs,' in all France, and a 10th
from,all sMaries,•above .600.0-francs.
An adjournment being proposed, M. Regnant'
tie St. Jean d'Angely, opposed it. The Minister
of the EmperOr said he had prepared a statement -
of the -necessary measures .in the present eireutn-,.:
Stances, Which will be immediately presented you.
in the name of the country, in the name of all that
is most sacred to you, I conjure you to lose no time •
in adopting the re',ltlations necessary to organize
your reliminary labours. Don't you see that our
enemies in haste to repair the disasters they have
just experienced, are again busy on all sides.—
Laws are necessary .to organize our Con
stitution, to establish. the transmigratiomi
of our systedi into the countries which are
are stretching out their arms to as. Laws are
necessary to secure the freedom of the press and'
to repress crimes. Have you not even to-day seen
it maliciously stated in a Journal that General
TraVot ha-.s been made prisoner, and exchanged
for M. de la Trimouille ? and this news is inib.;:

• Aftei• Sbni6 Unimportant discussi6nS, thel•t; he
ing nothing wore on the order of the play;
M. Latour Maubot•.rW el:pressed hi§ surprise,
that undbr such Important circumstances thetl-
should be nothing. ou'the•oider Of the day, while
there were nuniberlesSobjects of iniportance•that
it was urgent. to meet then► : a mist important
one is this. The Emperor declared, that he laid
down, the absolute power which circuniStamces
bad forced hint to assume, and that the Constitu-
tional Monarchy, was put in activity. Now the
Constitution alloWs of none but legal arrests.—
Are those that have taken place for these three
months past legal.-=`` I require, that the Minis-
ters make a report upon all-these arrests, that the
titizens. who are nut confined according to the
Constitution may be restored to their liberty and
their families." .
This unexpected demand excited a degree of
astonishment. .

M. Thibaudeatt thought the motion premature,
beCause the.order of the- ChambeT required, th:at
to make it an adjournment tod-a certain day shall
take puce._ •
Latour Maubourg propdSed to adjourn to

ber adjourned to Thursday.
