PARIS PAPERS.

{From the Journal du Commerce:l
PARIS, APRIL ‘24.—& correspondent of the
Memorial BordeJai* invite* the Journals to imi-
ltite the custom established in England during
meeting of Parliament, of -publishing the
name of each Deputy present at the discussion of
t-Ite.lawt proposed to the Chamber, and the man-
as,er-io which he votes. This proposal appears to
-us to be perfectly reasonable in principle, and
c: fut in all countries which . possess a Repre-
s.eFtative Government. Where the citizens really
t.t.oittinate their Deputies, it is quite natural that
shey.shonld feel interested in what- they do, and
narrowly watch their conduct, in order that they
May treat Them, on their return to their
bies,according to their merits. But if the Re-.
presentation be fictitios, .all interest in it ceasi.!s,
and such watchfulness can have no result or
objf,rt.

A lamentable accident occurred on Saturday
'ta.t., At ten o'clock in the morning, at lionchamp,
sear I3efont. The subterrankn air of some. coal

mines near that place suddenly took fire, with a
.dreadful noises and in a moment all the.passages
~,'-"wrere choked up by the fallen earth. Twelity
.persons, amongstwhom was the master of the
mines, who had entered a few minutes previous
.to the explosion, were taken out dead. Four
persons, grievously wounded, Were also found,
but we are still ignorant ,of the exact number
A .man and his wife, who -had run to

t.st,ons for the Universities, says--" Ilere, tlien' we have. all
the penalties of Luonaparte's Decree re-established. The Pro-

reprimand them, and they may be suspended for a whole year.

pect-, particularly in a profession whore the smallness of their
Tray dogs not admit of any savings, and consequently the loss of
to::ir salary for a year must reduce them to misery and ruin. But
easy nc): a prfruiseur, a professor, a censor connuit sonic fault
which, though not- deserving dismissal, ought not to go un-

hands of the chief ? That it may subsist in all its force,

tioa of inquiring and censorious youth, who will see in it a
..g.p.Aries of et:Float against the masters, and anticipate vengeance
in the punis.tments they imagine will•be bestowed. We speak
c 5 admonition I but arrest, censure, -suspension, pronounced
ficcording.to the present regulations by the let' for or
by an inspector sent by the Grand Master. a:i the penalties

' tail/date the representative system ; when arbitrary measures
are .se much less excusable, as the prvressive obedience

it.t.n.der the Govermixat of a Prince who passed the aritni-
iable Decree of 1815, supporting it with arguments not 1.1.4.4
admirable, that the measures and decrer.s of a despot are
to be revived, and the penalties which that decree properly.
anolished ? Is it in the eighth year of the restoratiJa,

a moral education suited to the wants of the age, (Pre-
amble of the Ordinance of February 17, 1813). Let us pass
ov-.r the other penalties ordered by the Decree of l3uonaparte,
arid restored unfortunately by the Decree of June 1, 1822, and

APRIL 24.—The details we published-of the quarrel
et Charenten last fiaturclav, between some workmen of the
I,7;trwlisit -establishment and the inhabitants of the village, are
unf.ortunaq:iy too correct. The illagistraus were informed
of the matter time enough to interpose ; but though, from its
precautions, future scenes of the same kind will not take
place, harmony is far' from being estublished. It seems,
tLerefore„ of some use to endeavour to enlighten the
French Workmen as to the injustice of any jealotrsy of the
wcrktiten* of another country, who have come here to impart
,adroe improvements in the useful arts. It is an established
fact that int:Lis:Ty has made very rapid strides in France
