CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.

In the Sitting of the 22d, M. de Frenilly brought forward his
plan for the internal regulation (regiment) of the Chamber ;
but there not being a sufficient number of Members present,
after the project was read, the Chamber broke up at six.
In the Sitting of the 23d, M. Laisne de Villeveque spoke et
some length against the project, as highly arbitrary., and he
objected to the bringing forward such a measure at the close of
the Session. M. de la Bourdonnaye likewise advised to defer
the consideration of the project to the next Session. M. Hyde
de Neuville was of the same opinion as M. tie la liourdonnaye ;
there were two articles, besides, which he could not approve—
one was, that by which the Chamber was declared competent
to annul the election of a deputy, without the concurrence of the
other branch of the Legislature. The second article, which the
Hon. Member thought inadmissable, was that which authorised
the Chamber to send a deputy to prison ; at least, it was con-
trary to French manners. England, he said, was quoted its a
precedent, but many things were required in the English
Parliament which would not be national in France. A Member
of the British Parliament may be compelled to ask pardon
even on his knees.—" I do not condemn (said he) the usages of
other people; but, Gentlemen, I ask you, would such regula-
tions be French ?
" Let us not then, Gentlemen, seek among the English,
whom we esteem on so many other accounts, all our models t
tbr there pass many things in England, which arc not at all
conformable to our manners ; and since an opportunity pre.
&mu itself, Lam happy to say in this Tribune, that you, (len-
' tlemen, would never suffer a Member of this Assembly to have
recourse to calumny, to the grossest insult, to lavish them on a
neighbouring nation, as has lately been done in another place.
—(Many voices—Bravo, bravo !)—No, Gentlemen, you would
not suffer it ~ that never was, and never will be French.--
(Bravo!)"—The question of adjournment having been previ-
ously put and rejected, the question of taking the proposal into
consideration was put, and also rejected.
The Chamber then passed the law, restoring the Isle of Per.
recite to the city of Lyons.
The next subject of debate was the project of law for levying
the young men of the class of 1023. M. Laisne de Villeveque
made a very long and vehement speech against this project.—
" Allowing that some monarchical modification* in the consti.
tution of Spain were desirable, he deprecated the principle of
armed intervention, as pregnant with the most dangerous con-
sequences for as many different forms of government prevail
in the world, if nations were to take offence at those various
forms, we must expect endless wars, till all nations were go-
verned by the same forms; and if such a right were admitted,
the ocean might be an insufficient barrier to the American Re-
public ; and haughty England might be summoned to the tri-
bunal of the rulers of Europe." He proceeded :
" The famous Bill of Rights is already under an anathema.

Her pride has already pronounced, in her Parliament, those
threats
.which are the forerunners of political storms. What do
I say ? Her war cry has already resounded-4 Civil and Reli-
gious Liberty for all Nations
" The ardent policy of an enlightened Minister eagerly seizes
on the glorious part which seemed reserved for France, happy
and free under the regis of legitimate Monarch _that of rank-
ing at the head of Constitutional Governments."
The Orator drew at great length a gloomipicture of the pro.
bable consequences of this war, the uncertainty of success, the
dangers to which young troops, however brave, will be exposed
in a country where the veteran troops of Napoleon found only
their graves. He painted the effects it would produce on the
internal prosperity of France; some enormous additions to
taxes, already Insupportable, would be required to maintain,
perhaps for years, 100,000 men in the Peninsula to' support
Ferdinand in the absolute power which it was intended to
restore to him. Whereas, "if Ferdinand would sincerely
proclaim true liberty in Spain—if he would, with the advice of
wise councillors, consecrate in a charter the true principles of
rational freedom, he would at once extinguish the flame of
civil war."
M. de Seamaisons spoke in favour of the project, and M.
Duvergier de Hattranne against it. This Gentleman greatly
regretted that the mediation of England had been twice re.
jected. It was ultimately passed by a majority of 25d
votes to 9.

Accounts from Rotterdam, of the 20th of April, say, that

Letters from flamburgh say, that news had been received
there from Cronstadt, stating that the Russian fleet in that port
was arming with great dilig-ence. On the other hand, English-
men who have arrived in that city affirm that an English fleet
was coming to cruize in the Baltic,while Denmark is said to be

We have had great storms on our coasts, and expect dis-
astrous accounts from sea.
ST. PETERSBITRO-11, APRIL I.—The Emperor returned
here yesterday, the accumulation of ice on the Airolga having
hindered him from visiting General Areklocliejew, as he in-
tended.
There were in this City 102 eating houses of the description,
called at Paris restaurateurs. The Police has successively had
152 closed since the Ist of March.
By superior authority a Lancasterian School has been opened
here for the instruction of 200 poor children.
Arum 17.—Letters from Trieste say—" Ac-
cording to accounts from the Morea, the garrison of Corinth is
embarked for Asia Minor. The capitulation was executed by
the Greeks with great punctuality, as the Turks themselves
confess.
"The expedition of the Greeks against Macedonia is ac-
tively preparing. Several of their corps have already passed
the Thermopyhe and penetrated into Thessaly; a numerous
corps from the Morea has followed, which will be succeeded by
others as soon as the whole Peloponnesus is evacuated by the
Turks. The Greek Government has appointed Prince Mauro-
cordato to the chief command of the expedition. Colocotroni
remains to protect the Morea. The latest accounts say, that
Maurocordato was still engaged with the troops of Omer Vrinne
at Joannina, which he was putting in the best state of defence.
Maurocordato intended to leave the siege of that place to the
Albanian chiefs, and to advance with Bozzaris and the other
leaders to Thessaly by the road from Joannina to Larissa. The
Turkish army was retreating to Macedonia.
" At St. Catherine, an expedition to Cassandra was prepar-
ing, where troops from Hydra were also expected to advance
with their united force against Salonichi."
Letters from Odessa, of the, 29th March, say, that by
account s from Constantinople of the 20th March, it was
stated that the Reis Effendi, since delivering the note for
Count Nesselrode, had presented a second to the Austrian
Internuncio, in which the old demand respecting the
Asiatic fortresses is renewed. Thus the Turks seem to
persist in the old system, and they have chosen a good
rime when the Cabinets arc so engaged with the affairs of
Spain. At St. Petersburgh, however, the Spanish revolution
is considered as being at its last gasp, and a great personage is
reported to have said, " It is not a war, but an expedition of
