FRENCH PAPERS.

CHAMBER OF: PEERS—SITTING or MARcis 5.
The discussion of the Bill for granting pensions to the
conquerors of the Bastile was then resumed.
Count de Lanjuinais, in the name of General Mathieu
Dumas, brought up the report of the Committee o❑ the
various amendments proposed. He stated that the Com-
mittee was not fully satisfied of the existence of so many
conquerors of the Bastile as were included in the !schedule
the Bill. It, therefore, proposed to word the first
Article as follows :—" A pension of 250 f. shall he
granted to each of the conquerors of the Bastile, who
establish their right to that title within three months after
'he promulgation of the present law." The proofs of
teh right to be—l. The brevets of the decorations
,ranted to the conquerors of the B !stile by the decree of
1 lth June, 1790, or exchanged i❑ virtue of the 9th Ar-
;le of the 20th August, 1793 ; or, in default of these
fevers, atte,tll extracts of the lists annexe I to these
/Trees or r'ocuments, proving the receipt of pensions by
tue of them-2. The brevets of pension- granted by the
decrees of 25th D comber, 1790, and 24th of Marc'',
1793, or documents proving the receipt of pensions by
v rue of them. Al such brevets to be accompanied by
cert ficates of identity.

The Marquis De Dreux Breze renewed his former
objections to the principles of the Bill ; which were re-
pbed to by the C.unt De Pontecoulant, who, amidst
loud apptiuse, quoted the reply of the illustrious De
Laroch--foucalt-Lioncourt, to the observation of Louis
XVI., on the " revolt" of the 14th July--s" No, Sire, it
is a great, an immense revolution, which is in progress."
Article 1, as amt-nded by the Committee, was then
adopted. as were also
.the remaining articles, without
amendment.

The Chamber then proceeded to ballot on the ensemble
of the Bill. The following was the resul, of the scrutiny:
For the Bill

CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.—StrrtNo OF MARCH 16.
31. B. Delessert .t,iok the chair at half past 12. In
pursuance of the resolution adopted by the Chamber in
the preceding sitting, the appel nominal was commenced
precisely at I, and for once was proceeded with to the
end, which operation afforded time for a sufficient number
of deputies to arrive to enable the Chamber to proceed to
business.

M. Roger brought up a report, recommending the
adoption of the bill for granting a credit of 650,000 f. for
premiums for the cod and whale fisheries.—Ordered to be
printed and taken into consideration on Saturday next.
The Chamber then proceeded to the discussion of the
bill for authorizing the provisional collection of two months'
further taxes in repeal of the budget of 18:33.
M. Mereir admitted the necessity of the grant, but pro-
tested aeainst the second session announced by the Minister
and recommended by the committee, which he said would
esial lish the dangerous precedent of an arbitrary alteration-
in the financial year, and whim, though it would certainly
put an end to tl,e state of provisoire for the year 1834,
would afford no security against the same system being
recommenced for 1835
Havin also opposed tl-e plan of a second session, re-
producing in detail the various objections urged by the
opposition against the whole foreign and domestic policy of
the Government, which he contended were more than
sufficient to prove the danger of trusting Ministers with
an uncontrolled power for eighteen mon hs. He added,
that great as might he the evil of a state of provisoire in
some respects, it had at least the advantage of placing the
Administration under the immediate con'rrol of the
Chamber, by the necessity it was under of frequently
apply ing to the Chamber for provisional or complementary
credits. He feared that when once Ministers found the
budgets voted, and the reins in their own bands, the
country would have to ask in vain for the municipal and
other laws which had been so repeatedly promised, and
which wsr,, of such urgent necessity.
Muntz read, in an almost inaudible tone, a written
discourse in favour of the plan of a second lession.
Duchatel (the reporter) replied to N. Havin, renew-
ing his observations on the necessity of putting an end to
the state of provisoire. and arguing that a second session
would he the best means of obtaining the legislative mea-
sures for Wiich M. Havin was so anxious, since they
won a discipisait in the early part of the session, while
the budget was under consideration in the committees.
r.
The general discussion was then and the Viinnli
articles which authorize the provisional collection of the
existing taxes up to the Ist of June next, and open a pro-
visional credit of 142,000,0001., to be divided between the
different Ministers by Royal ordinance. were successively
aU niters withont observation.
The Chamber then proceeded' to ballot on the ensemble
Of the Bi I ; the following was the result of the scrutiny :
For the Bill
Against it - 47
Majority —l73
A great number of Bulk of private and local interest
were adopted by a majority of 229 against 10.
The Minister of the Interior brought in two Bills for
granting complimentary credits for the relief of the foreign
refugees. The Hon. Minister said that it was a sufficient
answer to the reproach of indifference sometimes brought
against Government, to state that since 1830 more than
10,500,000 f. had been expended in relieving foreign re-
fugees. M. D'Argout was'still in the tribune when our,
reporter left.

THE DUCHESS or BERRY.-The Indicateur of Bor-
deaux, of the 12th inst , contains the following I-tter :
THE COMMANDANT OF BLAYE TO M. RAYMOND
(A CARLIST), AT TOULOUSE.
" Blaye, March 10.

" Sir,—l never make vain promises. lam quite ready to
open to you the first door of the apartment of the Duchess of
Berry ; her valet de chambre will announce you, and I shall
be rejoiced if she consents to receive you. You will perfectly
comprehend that it is not in my power to compel her, as it
would be departing from the line of conduct I have hitherto
followed towards her. I have also to observe, that I cannot
admit individuals who may come, and require her doors to be
opened, and thus annoy the Illustrious Prisoner. Any one
must be the bearer of an authority from a certain number of
known legitimatists. Furnish yourself then with this docu.
Jrnent, which may be couched in the following, or similar terms
—" We, the undersigned, charge Messrs. **** to proceed to
Blaye, in order to, &e., &c.' 1 recommend you, in passing
through Bordeaux, to get such a paper signed by some of the
principal legitimatists. You will at once perceive that, without
these formalities, my object, which is only that of making the
truth known, would be entirely defeated. I further inform
you, that I shall exact from you a declaration of all that you
may see or hear, in order that it may be published in the
journals.—l am, &c.

(Signed)

" BLIGEAUD."

The Indicateur also publishes the following bulletin—

" The Duchess of Berry has been very well during the last
two days--March la (Signed) "D. P. MENEIRE."
The Gazette du Languedoc is under prosecution, for
baring protested against the declaration of the Duchess of
Berry, inserted in the Zttoniteur.
Extract of a letter of the 9th inst. from Madrid :
"The King's health is ithproving rapidly; the progress
of his recovery has not-teen checked by any relapse. By
a decree of the 6rh instant, countersiened by the Minister
Cruz, the Kini has ordained that a regiment of recular ca
valry shall bear the name of the Princess Maria Elizabeth,
heiress to the Crown, and shall occupy the fourth r ,nk by
privilege; the staff of this regiment is to consist of the
most distinguished officers of the army. A bank has been
established at Havannah, under the denomination of Fer-
dinand the 7th's Bank, with a capital of five millions of
francs, belonging to the Government. The directors of it
are the Counts de Santovenia and de la Reunion, and M.
Joaquim Gomez."
(From the Quotidienne of Friday.)
PARIS, MARCH 15.—The Portuguese loan, which was
opened so short a time ago, approaches to its entire com-
pletion. It is certain that the Paris and London houses
will have to refuse at least as large an amount of capital
as they will have to receive, in order to fill up the loan
with the navigation of which they are intrusted. It
must be confessed, also, that this operation has been
skilfully conducted, and commenced under the mot favour-
able auspices, since its execution coincided with the di—.
comfiture of Don prdro, a result which has, indeed, been
long foreseen by all persons versed in political affairs, but
Which will soon acquire all the authority of a fret.
According to the latest accounts from Algiers, it would
seem that the Duke of Raviga is no :onger able to
hold the government of that whiny; he is old and infirm.
He will be shortly recalled ; such is the report in the
War-office. Marshal ClAuzel, or General Guilleminot
are spoken of to succeed him. The latter has the greatest
chance.

The recall of General Boyer, Governor of Oran, is also
decided. If we believe what is reported, he will have a
terrible account to give of his conduct in Africa.

---
A 'Ater from 111ez, of Feb. 12, says—
"
iments of artillery
One of the red, in garrison in our
city, has, it is said, received order% speedily to send from
its depots, to the batteries attached to the army of the
ver,ous articles of equipment, clothing, &C., because
those batteries were to be in readiness to move towards
the Belgian frontiers."
(From the Gazette de France of Saturday.)
PARIS, MARCH 15 —Letters received by an extraor-
dinary conveyance, announces that Don Pedro had made
proposals to his brother, which the latter reject, d. The
greatest discouragement prevailed in the army. However,
preparations were making for a last effort to extricate
itself from its disastrous situation. The volunteers were

• ,

apprehensive that Don Petho would embark unknown to
them, and the letter affirms, that in this fear they were
prepared to surrender at discretion, hoping every thing
from the clemency of Don Miguel, and that it is only on
the assurance that has been given them, that they shall
see the Duke of Eraganza expose himself to the fire, tht
they will attempt a final sally, the result of which will
1p only to thin their ranks, and to exasperate the Portu-
guese troops.
(From the Messager des Chambres.)
PARIS, MARCH 15.—1 n the Ministerial circles and
journals there is a great deal of declamation against the
repugnance shown by the Opposition immediately to begin
a new session. This is very well, hut the first thing is
to finish the present session; and only to-day the Presi-
dent, at the opening of the sitting, expressed his dissatis-
faction at the indolence of our representatives. He enu-
merated the labours which still remained to be completed.
Sixty projects of law have been presented ; forty have
bren the subj-ct of report; thirteen of these reports re-
main to be 'discussed, and these are not the least important.
(From Galignani's Messenaer of Saturday.)
Count Pozzo di Borgo had the honour of a❑ audience of
the King yesterday. His Excellency has not yet resumed
the direction of the affairs of his embassy, but has had
two conferences with the Count d'Appony and Lord
Granville. The French Charge d'Affaires also is fre-
quently at his hotel.
Toe motion of Deputy Pfitzer, in the States• General
of Wurtemburg, the object of which was to declare that
Wurtemhurg is not hound by the decrees of the Germanic
Diet, does not appear to have prevailed against the rescript
of the King, which was opposed to the motion. The
purposed address has been referred hack to the
tee. In the sitting of the I 1 th instant, M. Pfitzet main-
tained that his motion should take priority of the address,
and asserted that it was nut his opinions that were anti-
monarchic il ; but, on the contrary, it was the articles of
the resolution of the Diet that were injurious to the
sovereignty. The President hiving put the question,
whether the consideration of the reseript should tie post-
pon•d till of er the motion was decided upon, it was
resolved in the negative by a majority of 53 to 31. It
was also determined by an equal majori•y, that the pro-
posal of the committee should be adopted with certain
me iifit•ations.

Accounts of the 10th inst. from Toulon represent an
expedition against Constantine as certain. To this end,
a reinforcement of troops, together with arms and ammu•
nition, is about t ho transported to Oran.

The ilfent9rial Berdelais of the 13th inst. announces
that Dr. Gintrac was to set out at S o'clock thst morn ng
for asp-, having heen sent for by the Duchess of Berry,
who is in a •ufferinq state.

The 21Ioniteur contains the official publication of the
law, by which the sum of 900,000 f. is assigned for the
erection of the monument in the place de la Bash!le.
The Quotidienne of this morning, in referring to a
long interview which took place yesterday borween the
King and M. Dupin, builds upon that circumstance the
expectation of a speedy change of Ministry. It is the
only paper that speaks of the probability of such a change,
and neither in the salons nor elsewhere has it been men-
tioned as having been the object of M Dupin's recent visit
to the King. The Learned President is a good deil in
the habit of visiting the King, whose confidential legal
adviser be his been during the two reigns of the resto-
ration.

Letters from Rome say that Cardinal board was ex-
pected there on an import ant mission from the King of the
French. 'the nature of that mission, however, is nut
mentioned, neither has it ever been heard of here before.
These letters refer to accounts Iron: Ancona, according to
which there was not the least lapearance of any intenti
on the par• of the French troops to move from that pla-e.
General Sehastiani, whom some of the pap rs had spoken
of as having returned to Paris, gone to Rome, where
he intended remaining some time for the enefit of his
health. There is not the remotest probability of his ever
entering the Ministry again.
Orr latest accounts from Perpignan state, that the late
Carlist movement in Catalonia had been very speedily
put a atop to through the active exertions of the Capta,n-
General. The leaders had been arrested and taken to
Barcelona, to which city the Captain-General, who bad
proceeded to F guei as, had returned.
Letters from Yasmy (Moldavia) of the 18th ult. star
that there was no truth in the report that a Russian army
was marching through that country to the aid of the
Sultan. The Russian troops stationed in Moldasi and
Ile,sa,bia, as tar as Odessa, hardly amounted in all to
20,000 men.
Letters of the 9th instant were received to-day from
1111.drid_ They sneak of a chancre of Ministry a 5 likely
soon to t,ke place, both on account of the divisions ex•
isting in the Cabinet, and the (apposition made by two of
its members to the project of convoking the Cartes, as in-
sisted upon by the Queen. From this it seemed that t
Queen's influence had not decreased. The King's health
is not spoken of in these letters as having become any
worse of late, and the Madrid Gazette says that both
their Majesties were perfectly well. Tranquillity remained
undisturbed in Madrid.

The French funds have undergone some fluctuations
to-day, on account of transactions of no very great ex-
tent. There were no political rumours at the Bourse of
any kind.- Times. Z.
