CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.,--SITTI2O3 or FEE. 21.
M. MAIITIGiiAC made a Iteport, respecting the
su pplemeit ta ry credit of 100,000,000 f fter ob.
serving upon the prospect of war, and that ttp.
prehensions were entertained by some persons
respecting the future, he proceeded—" What is
there to justify these fears: Spain, tornlo pieces,
collects the inevitable fruit of revolutions ; she
bathes -her territory with her own blood. The
friends of religion and of the King [from the left,
and of the holy office "1 ; the friends of liberty
and of order [from the left " and of absolute
power"] are tinning in crowds, and contend
against the partisans of revolt and anarchy. If
our army should 'receive from the King, to whom
alone it belongs to issue them, orders to proceed
to the frontiers, observe what will be its mission—
to deli ver an unfortunate country from the scourge
ofcivil war [Several voices on the left,' It is you who
have provoked it to disarm brothers, who are
tutting each other's throats [on the left, with
anus which you have furnished to them !]--to
raise up a subverted throne--and restore to a
captive Bourbon the right of giving to his people
happiness and liberty [on the left,.' Yes, like
Naples t')--and ,to conquer also, for the sake of
humanity, that salutary and valuable peace
which we all desire, but which we wish should
be honourable and certain, Such, Gentlemen, is
the enterprise to which our armies may be sum-
moned ; and who therefore, 'would dare to
doubt. their MICCCSS ? We should not seek out
of ourselves for motives of fear or hope, one gua-
rantee is sulfa:lent, and none of you will doubt
it---it is the courage of our.soldiers. That cou-
rage 'which was for some time insufficient when
employed for the' purposes of ambition, under
the mask of glory, will be now employed for the
purposes of justice and glory.—[Exclamations
on the left : long interruption.]
A number of voices— It will serve the purposes of the In-
quisition."
Silence being' restored, the Reporter concluded in these
words
" Our soldiers had then against them fidelity, the ancient
love of Spain for her altars and her King ; they will now have
the support of all those who were then their adversaries.
" Every thingenay be expected from the French tinny com-
bating in Spain under the colours of a Bourbon, and combating
for Religion and for the King, for the freedom of a but
people held with difficulty under the arms of revolt, but still
struggling to relieve themselves.
tlentlemen—ff it is a right which belongs to citizens to en-
lighten the Monarch as to the advantages of peace, those who
invoke them will doubtless agree that it would be an odious and
censurable act to seek to lead astray the opinions of the people,
as to the dangers and the r6al object of it war, which the Father
of the. State has pointed out as inuninent4Explosion on the
left—long interruption)."
The loudest exclamations were addressed to the Reporter.
111. GrnAilDlN—Are you here as accuser or Reporters
Several Members said it would be impossible to go on with
the discussion, if this conduct was persisted in.
Other Voices— Your war is a true conspiracy
M. 14aFrITE—All that is only Jesuitism.
The PIIESIIWN'T (ringing the bell)—Your duty, Gentlemen,
is to hear in silence the Report of the Commission. You will
not have it right to oppose it till the discussion shall have
been begun.
M. is aUTroxac repeats hie phrase, which is again in-
terrupted by the exclamations of the left side.
11. Cit 1.119-'..-The Reporter first disturbed order, in de-
patting franc his duties as 'Reporter.
- The Pitt:elm:NT trioging tire bell anew)--M. Chauvidin, I
intreat you to be silent. My duty is to remind the Chamber
treadle discussion of the Report is not yet allowed.
Silence being restored,
The Rl:roam:a resumed--Tills discussion, into which we
have been compelled to enter in order to drive away fears un.
worthy Of us, is altogether useless.
The only question which ought to occupy us, reduces itself
to the simplest toms.
Serious and extraordinary circumstances, of which you are
aware, may demand extraordinary and unavoidable expeeices.—
The demand Of a supplementary credit is then both natural and
lawful.
The suns demanded is in a just proportion to the probable
wants.
Your Committee proposes to you to adopt the project of law,
with alight* modification that it has pointed out. •
M. de ItIARTIONAC descends front the Tribune, in the
midst (4' the agitation tires his report had excited in the Cham-
ber. The President orders tie printing and distribution of the
report which had just been read. Ile consults the Chamber
as to the period when they will open the disonssion on the
proposition.
- CASIMIR PERlER—Goitlemen, I wish to call the atten-
tints of the Members to the order in which the matter, as it ap-
pears to me, should be discussed. The credit which is required
or you Must amount to about one huff more than the receipts,
eatirnattei at forty-three millions by the MiniSters„ but which has
not been confirmed by the .deliberetiois of the Chamber: ask
.how we can begin the discussion of the project of a law con-
fleeted with the accounts of 1821, before we has, proceeded to
the examination of those accounts, and finally determined the
real Amount of the excess of the credit'requited ? Can you, in
this respect, rely on the calenlations of the Alinisters ? Will
you, by adopting them in confidence, inyert' the order which
you took so much pains to establish for the year 1818 ? With-
out doubt, if war was declared, the urgency of ihernotive might
be alleged p but war is uucertain—no urgency exist to be, op-
posed to what I have submitted to the Charnle.r. We may yet
hope that the war will not break out—you will have remarked,
Oentlemeti, in the Speech from Throne, that one of the
strongest motives for undertaking the war is to reconcile
the Peninsula with Europe. Itut may we not' believe that
this will take place without having recourse to arms ? That
specific reconciliation trill bc". easily accomplished, while
we ruse the whole of Europe remain neuter, or oppose the
attach: which is preentritig by Franee.—(Laughter on the right ;
applause on the left.)--Read the diecossions in the British Par-
- liament ; look at Austile, who declares, that under all circuits-
stances she will peesefve a neutrality It is not, then, fo.
reigners who desire war; and if' it is or: lertaken, it will not be
Spain, but the Government of France, that will need to be re-
weeded with Europe.—( Animated applause on the left.)—Nl'hile
the hope of peace tetnains, there is no motive fur inverting the
order established to guarantee the proper employment of the
public money. If the Minister* persist in executing this violatioh,
they declare war against order, and they war on your
rights..-Ilravo I. or. the left.)-1 move that the discussion em
this law for the 100 millions shall not he • begun till after the
discussion of the law of the accounts of 11121.
The rol s r tsT ER of Ells'AN6r, explained, that the accounts
aid WI were trot yet epproved ; but the Budget of 1823, agree-
sae to a law pissed last Session, takes into account the excess
of receipts of 1821 e it is not necessary, therefore, now to have
a legislative provision for the employment of this excess, since
y•ru-litsve alreedy settled the affair. As to the excess of 1822,
we can only present you anliatimate, but it does not
trend on us to ostabliih' this estimate on a snore solid basis ;
-and you are already provided with all the docurrit n with which
we tan furnish you. - -

Lleutenant-General the Count. Du PDX r reported frosn the
leommittee on the projet of law respecting the meal of soldiers
.discharged the 31st of December last. lie observed that the
.law> of the 10th March NA provided thaf,sub-otHeers and s4l-
- who lout finished their terms of service might be recalled
-in the. event of war, but a law was necessary to render them
disposable throughout the interior. of tire kingdom ; the sem-
•rity of the fortresses, the preservation it the military, establish-
,ments, and the protection;of internal order depending chiefly
upon them, wheti the. active army should be out of the king-
dom defendiug the greateet interests. The Chamber watt
titere-
fore :called. upon tit give to the Crown the necessary powere.
Previone to the c,ommencentent of hostilitierit was nocessary
to have the means of filling up the:gv,rrisons, and of internal
security ; the Chamber would therefore feel the neceeeity of
adopting a measure justified by the imininesice of event'. The
'veterans affected by this raja would only be put lit motion. in
the event of hostilities being declared.
In agreeitigtothis proposition the Chamber would secure the
• prosperity- of France and. the dignity of the throne. To
suerigthen the applicability of the army it is necessary that all
corps should he disposable ' • thus its success .would be corn-
mensuratc to the power of the kingdom, and the great interests

It liad to protect. Faithful to military discipline, and ready to
give new proofs of the, ardour by which it was animated, it
would justify the confidence of the throne and of the country.
The PIIESILVENT proposed that the discussiein on this pro-
ject should be opened immediately after the vote on the proviqus
project.—Agreed to.
A great number. of Speakers were inscribed for and againit,
For the project MM. Doimadieu, the Marquess tie ht Caze,

PARIS, Fan. 23.—The 'Etoile promised to re-
'ute the article in the Constaulionnel of Fri-
lay, which excited so much interest in Paris ;
he Editor of that fanatical Paper has taken time
:0 consider of the matter, and this is his refuta-

tion:—
" You alone trouble the peace of France ; you
are the enemies of the universe. Wretches
those who have followed you to your dens have
heard you say.---6 Wait a few years and there will
not be a King in Europe, but every where the
Congress of the United States.' Fhe Inquisitor,
the Dominican, the Trappist, will make the war
more easy. You applauded the murder of Kot-
zebue, stabbed the Duke of Berry, made Spain,
Naples, and Piedmont rebel, and. have excited
France to revolt." _ _ _

In this manner the Etoile explains why M. de
Talleyrand, M. Laisne, M. Royer Collard, Gen.
Desolles, Baron Louis, M. de Pradt, the Duke
de Vauguyon, M. de Broglie, and a multitude of
other Peers, Deputies, and citizens, of whom
some assisted in the restoration, and the others

approved it, now find themselves opposed to a
system full of danger for the throne and for

public liberty.
It was not necessary to waste time to'gather
;41 the follies and collect all the libels which are
to be found in the writings of the faction, and
which only inspire contempt and disgust. It is
only with a feeling of pity we behold the lengths
to which our enraged opponents carry their vio-
lence ; one would imagine that their diatribes
had been composed in a cell at Charenton (an
assylum for fanatics).
The King transacted business yesterday with
Lieutenant-General Lauriston, Minister of the
Household.
M. de Castelbajac, Director-General of the
Royal. Stud ; M. Hoard, Inspector-General of
the Veterinary College, at Alfort ; and M. Jacob,
Professor of Drawing at this College, have been
presented to Monsieur and the Duke d'Angou-
leme. _ _

'lllw Quotidienne pretends that no petition
against the war has arrived from Bordeaux ; we
can assert that it has been deposited at the Cham-
ber of Deputies.
Colonel Barbier Dufay arrived in fact at Paris
on the 20th, in a state of arrest, as we stated the
day before yesterday. On his arrival he was
conducted before the Prefect of Police, and in-

staidly set at liberty by that Magistrate.
According to letters from Berlin, M. Wind;
will enter the Prussian Ministry. Ile is well
known by a very good work on the internal ad-
ministration of Great Britain. lie is one of those
who have shewn a great zeal in proving the ne-
cessity of a Municipal and Constitutional Code
being established in Prussia.

PERPIGNAN, FEB. 15.—Mosen Anton arrived
here to-day. A. new organization of the Army
of the Faith is talked of, and all the people will
be sent to their homes not included iu it. The
officers are to be taken principally from among
the Castilians, and the inhabitants of the other
provinces of Spain. But few Catalonians are to
he admitted in consequence of the bad disposi-
tion of the officers employed in the troops of Ca-
talonia. The Army of the Faith is to be increased,
to 6000, divided into four 'corps of 1500 men
each. They will form the advanced guard of the
French army, which will enter Spain by Bayonne.
The authors of,this new project hope that their
army will be increased by all the malcontents of
the kingdom. It the Regency does not succeed
in organizing this army, it will be without any
power in the Peninsula, when our troops enter
Spain, for it will not expect to command our
Generals. When the 13aron d'Eroles returns
from Paris the Regency will repair to the
spot, which ' kill be pointed out to it, from
whence it is to enter Spain.—ln the mean
time we are to enjoy the benefits of a Spanish
Mission. Yesterday the Monks of this nation
began their conferrences at Church de la Real.
Curiosity had brought together a great number
of auditors, and this evening it is supposed the
congregation will be more numerous. The elo-
quence of these preachers, and the choice of their
metaphors, are of a character to which we are
little accustomed in our country. A black con-
science, which has not been purified for a year
by conression, is, according to these Monks, like
a dirty shirt which has been worn for a year;and
'which falls in pieces when an attempt is made to
cleanse it. On the contrary, a conscience fre-
quently purified is like the hands of a washer-
woman, while a neglected one is like the unwashed
hands of a smith. It is dificult to conceive that
sermons of this nature could have 'kid much in-
fluence on the unfortunate inhabitants of Cata-
lonia—among us they are far from producing any
serious effects.

[From the Journal des Dtbots.]
We have remarked for some days most ridicu-
lous reports in the Journals, which we Ohl not
at first think it worth our while to contradict,
and which we Should not, at present notice, if
they were not pertinaciously repeated. We were
told of a great quarrel between the Ministers ;
the Minister§ have had no quarrel, and are per-
fectly agreed ! We were told of a great speech
having been read in certain saloons ; not a syl.
fable of such a speech has been written ! We
were told of a flaming manifesto against Spain ;
no manifesto is evert thought of ! We were told of
a contract made with Messrs. Ouvrard and Tour.
ton to supply provisions for tin French armies, and
oven in case of need, those of Foreign Powers ;
such a contract has no existence! Good Puri.
sians ! wilt you always he the dupes of those
whose sole object is to raise or lower the Funds- ?
The Constittitionnel, commenting on this arti.

says :--" The pacific tone of the JOllrlial des
Di'diats is very affirmative ; but the warlike lau-

guage of the Quolidienno is not less positive. Whilst
the Journal des &Oats is the interpreter of the Poll-
tiques, theQuotidieitne is the organ of theFunatiques..
The former creates a hope that reason is not en.
tirely banished from our Couneils the latter
would make it appear that they are abandoned
to an incurable spirit of blindness and error.
lEow shall we decide between those two authori-
ties ? It. is evident that if the Journal des ,Mats
speaks truth, the Quolidienne has no right to be
believed. Who shall put an end to our doubts ?
What is not doubtful, however, is, that the denials
'of the former have had some influence on the
public funds, and have occasioned a small rise.
