Paris Papers of Tuesday were received yes-
terday. The proceedings on Monday in the
Chamber of Deputies are of some interest. M.
de la Bourdonnaye again attacked the Minister
Villele with great vehemence. It may be proper
to mention, that M. de la Bourdonnaye is the
chief of the extreme Ultra Royalist party, which
is. greatly irritated against the Minister, espe-
cially for the tardy and temporising course pur-
sued by him with regard to Spain. It appears
from the speech of his assailant, that M. de Villele,
when hoisted into office on the shoulders of the
Ultras, promised that the Party 64 should obtain
a signal triumph." With the exception' of the
Ministers' slowness in invading Spain, one' would
think that he bad redeemed his pledge. The'
elections have been reduced almost to a nullity.
Should the system, continue, the Chamber will be
as completely packed at the end of five years—
when the whole Deputation' will have been
changed—as the Legislative Body of Boonaparte.
The Journals have been placed completely at the
mercy of the Government. The patronage of
Administration has been• liberally bestowed upon
the Ultra party, and the Missionary Priests and
Jesuits receive rather homed° and protection.—
M. de la Bourdonnaye, however, it appears, will
content himself with nothing short of drawibg
the sword against the interests and institutions of
the Revolution, and against all persons in any way
connected with it. lie dotnands that the Press
should be wholly extinguished, and the various
officea given to " devoted and energetic" Ultras.
The practicability and prudence of his views
are very questionable ; but it must be admitted
that he has the merit of frankly avowing
them. Ife culled the Charter "an odious gua-
rantee of revolution ;" he thinks France might be
brought back to the old regime, and makes no
'secret of his wish to hazard the experiment—to
which it is probable the Minister pledged him-
self, whilst yet an aspirant to power. The most
important part of hit speech is that fn which he
confirms the reports of the unprovided state of
the army of the Pyrenees. " You have had," he
says," six months to prepare, and already your
cavalry is in want of forage, and the most urgent
want is felt on every side." Several voices in-
stantly exclaimed that this was false ; others
said that, even if true, it should not be spoken.
But the orator persisted,• and concluded by de-
claring that he should vote against the Budget,
in order to mark his disapprobation of the sys.
tern of imbecility and temporising pursued by the
Minister.
