Wo have received the Paris papers of Friday and
Saturday.
In the Chamber of Peers, on Friday, the Prince DE
LA MOSKOWA, the son of Marshal NEY, protested in
the most indignant language against the too.celebrated
allusion made by Duke PASQUIER to the circumstances
attending the death of the " bravest of the brave."
Duke PAscaliEft avoided discussion or explanation by
raising a technical point of order, and thus the matter
ended. The scene, which was most exciting, is thus
graphically described by the National—
" The son of the victim, unable to suppress his indigna-
tion, exclaimed, turning half-round towards the President,
You have dared to talk of his degradation, Monsieur le
Due I Ah, indeed, his enemies killed him, but they could
never degrade him At this burst of the heart an ir-
resistible impulse produced powerful and almost unani-
mous cheers from the assembly responsive to the pene-
trating accents of the Prince. M. Pasquier, at first un-
shaken, at length dropped his head upon his desk, and,
when he raised it, his eye was dimmed, his countenance
pale and flaccid, and his attitude was that of a man
listening to his sentence, the wrinkles of his face from time
to time flushed with a sanguine hue. The torture he under-
went must have appeared to him very much lengthened,
and the evident sympathy of the Chamber with the
member who inflicted the chastisement must have ren-
dered it still more cruel. H owever, M. de Castel lane
got up from his seat, and the Prince de la Moskowa,
fixing his eyes upon him, said aloud, I hear some one
demanding permission to speak. If there be any one in
this Chamber who wishes to become an accomplice in an
infamous judgment, let him rise, and I will give him credit
for a singular mark of courage I' M. de Castellane then
rose, and, having made one half turn, sat down again.
The Prince continued his accusation of M. Pasquier with
increasing force. He recalled all that passed in 1834, when
Excelmans characterised the execution of Marshal Nev as a
judicial murder. This lesson ought to have made the Presi-
dent reflect, but it seemed to have had no effect. M. de la
Moskowa hopes at least that this protest will be the last. In
answer to observations made by us, M. de la Moskowa ex-
plained why he remained silent at the moment when M.
Pasquier adduced the degradation of his father as a prece-
dent for that of Lecomte. The words were so unexpected,
that he was struck as by a thunderbolt, and deprived
of all power of speech or thought. The affectionate atten-
tions of his colleagues, who pressed around him, were
insufficient to restore to him his faculties of ex-
pressing himself. He was, in fact, crushed by this unex-
pected and odious provocation, which violated the most
ordinary consideration for himself, and was not only a
deadly outrage upon the heart of a son, but a no less
insolent and violent offence against public opinion. Still
M. de Castellane moved to the tribune ; but soon
felt that all recollections had been revived by the speech
of M. de la Moskowa. M. de Castellane had not ascended
the steps of the tribune before there arose cries from all sides
of the Chamber of No, no The order of the day V--
The President declared that M. de Castellane had received
permission to speak, but numerous voices exclaimed, 'He
shall not have it.' He, however, though pale, was intrepid
enough to speak. The storm increased, and raged on every
bench. He opened his mouth, but the tumult extinguished
his words. He made gestures, showing that he was deter-
mined to maintain the responsibility he had assumed in
bravado. He was seen, but not heard. Nothing could be
distinguished but a confused noise, such as the reptuagenary
vanits had never before given out. Amidst the rappings
made with the paper knives upon the desks, the stampings of
feet on the floor, and the vociferation of ' The order of the
day,' three or four generals rose, and cried out in indignant
terms, It is infamous.' One said, It is abominable
Come down from the tribune !"Enough ! enough !" Too
much !' General Roguet, who was below us, could not re-
sist his feelings; his eyes flamed as if he were in battle; his
old blood was up, and his voice, as if in the midst of con-
flicting armies. We more than once thought he would rush
forward as if mounting to the assault, and make a breach
in the dress of his colleague. This extraordinary scene
lasted more than ten minutes; all the dignity of the
Chamber was lost. During this time M. Pasquier stood be-
hind M. de Castellane, now addressing himself to him, now
appearing to be struck dumb by the tremendous explosion.
He endeavoured to obtain silence, but all his authority was
gone—the Chamber would not allow any one of its Members
to exhibit the scandalous attempt to show an adhesion, how-
ever remote, to the infamous deed of which it had been re-
minded. When M. de Castellane came down from the tri-
bune there was silence for a moment, the Peers evidently
wishing to afford its President an opportunity for giving an
explanation. But what explanation could he give? What
could he say for himself? M. Pasquier endeavoured to get
out of his difficulty by making a pitiful tirade against the vio-
lation of secrecy! Let him ponder upon the lesson he has
received; and if in doing so he recalls the course of his
life, and the part he has taken in history, he, perhaps, w
feel that the time is come for him to retire and seek in sol
tude, or in the leisure of private life, reflection and repen
ance."

The Constitutionnel has a long article on this subject.
Speaking of the scene presented by the Chamber during
the attempt made by M. DE CASTELLANE to obtain a
hearing, it says:—" This scene was not without its
grandeur. It was a homage paid to the memory of
Marshal NET j a revision of his sentence by acclama-
tion."

The Ministerial Journal des Debats contents itself
with the following observations:—
" We shall merely mention that explanations took place
yesterday, before the Chamber of Peers, between the Prince
de la Moskowa and Chancellor Pasquier. They referred to
an incident which, it is said, took place in the secret com-
mittee of the Court of Peers, after the condemnation of the
regicide Lecomte. The Prince de la Moskowa, yielding to a
sentiment, natural and honourable in its source, but perhaps
exaggerated under the circumstances, protested in moderate
and suitable terms, which the Chamber listened to with
favour. On his side, Duke Pasquier used the incontestible
right, which the regulations gave him, of refusing to enter on
a discussion foreign to the order of the day and to the legis-
lative deliberations of the Chamber. The explanations of
the President met with universal assent."
The Courrier Francais has an article on the refusal of
the Government to authorise the formation of a free-
;rade league in Paris, in imitation of the one which has
been formed in Bordeaux. The Courrier considers that
the application for the authorisation ought not
to have been made at all, inasmuch as al-
though the Ministry could not identify itself
with the League by granting it authorisation, yet it the
League had been once formed without authorisation, the
Ministry would hardly have ventured on such a hazardous
display of authority as an attempt to put it down by force.
The proposition of M. DE ST. PRIEST, for the in.
troduction of a uniform rate of postage of 20 centimes,
was on Thursday rejected by the Chamber of Deputies.
The Minister of Finance promised that next session he
would re-introduce the Government Bill on this subject.
Baron DE BARANTE has been ordered to repair to
St. Petersburgh to resume his post of Ambassador from
France, and M. BECKENDORFF will, it is said, arrive
shortly in Paris in the quality of Russian Ambassador.
According to La Patrie, the Chamber of Deputies will
be dissolved on the 2d July, and on the 4th a royal
ordonnauce will be published announcing the creation
of a new batch of Peers.
