deny everything ; but between the denial of Minis-
ters having an interest to deny everything, and the
affirmation of a Deputy having no interest to say but
what is true, the Chamber and the country will decide.
As to the question of a committee being elected fa-
vourable to the authorisation, I do not think I ought to
examine it. I shall merely confine myself to demand-
ing from the bureau, of which I form part, to be guided
in its choice only by considerations drawn exclusively
from the relations established between the two Cham-
bers, and to put aside completely everything connected
with myself personally. I have not sought the eclat and
proceedings ; but, on the other hand,
to avoid them. I have no fear as to
Itpbuhebairviecesiutdylocn,oefantnhod,etshesinhgould $ struggle arise between the
Ministry and myself, I certainly shall not give way,
but shall defend my assertion, not only in the Chamber
to which I belong, but in the Chamber of Peers."

M. GIIIZOT declared his great anxiety to have all
the facts of the case elucidated. On this subject the
Journal des Debats says—
" The Chamber of Deputies proceeded in its Com-
mittee-rooms, on Saturday, to appoint a Commission to
examine the demand made by the Chamber of Peers to
be authorised to summon to their bar M. Emile de Girar-
din, a Member of the Chamber of Deput:eQ. A consi-
derable majority declared in favour of the demand.
Several Members, however, expressed a wish to reserve
their opinion until the author of the article complained
of should have given an explanation. The Ministers were
in favour of the demand of the Peers. M. Guizot declared
that he sincerely desired that the facts should be com-
pletely elucidated. M. Cunin-Gridaine observed that the
pretended sale of promises of a peerage, to which
the Presse alluded, did not appear to the Cabinet of a
nature to be noticed ; but that now, when a discussion
had been commenced, it became necessary that the
truth should be mtfde known. The Opposition in gene-
ral repelled the principle of delivering up one of the
Members of the Chamber of Deputies to the jurisdiction
of the Chamber of Peers. Of nine commissioners two
only, MM. Paillet and Lion de Malleville, were named
by the Opposition. The other commissioners are MM.
de Saint Aignau, Lavielle, Cousture, Delangle, De
Morny, d'Haussonville, and Gillon."

The Presse makes no comment whatever on the
proceedings in the Bureaux.
Marshal BUGEAUD was to leave Algiers for France
on the sth June. The correspondent of the National
gives the following account of the cruelties practised
by him in his late expedition into Kabylia:—
" Several villages were carried, they may indeed be
called towns, for one reckoned a population of above
6,000 souls. They were defended by towers. The
Marshal himself ordered the devastation. It had been
agreed that the firing of three guns should be the signal
for the cessation of the pillage. The troops, carried
away by their ardour, rushed to the villages, and sacked
everywhere trinkets, jewels, precious clothes, carpets,
goods of all sorts, arms in abundance, and gold and
silver in profusion, became their prey. The booty was
immense. Innumerable jars of oil were broken; streams
of oil were spread in all directions, and the conflagration
kindled in the houses soon reached that sheet of
eminently combustible liquid. It was a horrible scene.
All the inhabitants who were on the soldiers' passage
were put to the sword. Amidst this shocking confu-
sion, the Marshal saw a Kabyl chieftain of athletic sta-
ture running to him, and, by his gestures and cries,
asking to see the commander of the French army. Ile
had come to demand that the devastation be put an end
to, tendering the submission of his countrymen. There
was in his voice and face such sorrow and such sincerity,
that, overcome by his prayers, the Marshal ordered the
three guns to be fired, when the pillage and devastation
ceased, to the great regret of the Marshal, who, as he
observed last night on his terrace, would willingly have
been more vigorously attacked, in order that he might
have destroyed more, and inflicted a still severer lesson."

The National's correspondent adds that the country
thus cruelly devastated is most beautiful and fertile,
and that whilst publicly proclaiming the final re-
duction of the Kabyls, the Marshal was heard to say,
the very evening before, " Kabylia is subdued, but I
answer not for the future. Nothing is secured and
firmly settled : we may have to begin again in six
months."

The Journal des Debuts states that the Committee
of the Chamber of Deputies, to whom the Bill was
referred, which was presented by the Government,
demanding an extraordinary credit of 3,000,000 f. for
the establishment of agricultural camps in Algeria,
had unanimously declared against its principle.
" IVe learn," says the Union Monarchigue, " that
domiciliary visits have been made in certain hotels of
the Faubourg St. Germain, and at the residences of
persons who have afforded some marks of interest
and sympathy to the Spanish refugees. The autho-
rities displayed extraordinary force, and several com-
missaries of police directed the search. The warrants,
we are assured, were directed against M. le Comte
DE MONTEMOLIN. In a single house more than 40
agents were employed to examine the apartments,
cellars, and garrets ; but in vain—the pursuit was
ineffectual."

In the Passage de I'Opera, on Sunday, the Three
per Cents. were done at 79f. 10c.

FRIGHTFUL OCCURENCE AT THE ROYAL ITALIAN
Orzn,t.—Shortly before twelve o'clock on Saturday night,
an accident of a most frightful character occurred at the
Royal Italian Opera. It appears that at the period above
mentioned,
the establishment, was engaged in removing one of the side
George hill, one of the workmen employed on
wings, when he by some means lost his equilibrium from the
part on which he was standing, and fell on to the stage from
a height of upwards of 22 feet, thus sustaining the most
serious injuries. It was at first feared that the poor fellow
was killed on the spot, as, on being picked up, he did not ap-
pear to breathe. He was forthwith take* to the King's
College Hospital, and placed under the care of Mr. Webb,
the house-surgeon, who dre,sed his wounds, but he re-
mains in a very distressing condition. Amongst the vi-
sitors of distinction to the Opern may be mentioned her
Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge, who kindly sent
several times during Sunda and Monday to the hospital,
to make inquiries as to the state of the unfortunate man, of
whom favourable accounts were given by the surgeon.
REPORTED MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—We are
y
requested to state that a rumour which has appeared in se-
veral of the public papers relating to an intended marriage
between the Marquis of Chandos and the daughter of Sir
jalaell Weir Hogg, Bart., is wholly devoid of foundation.
