THE FRENCH LEGISLATURE.
PARIS, AuG. 25, EVENING._

In to-day's sitting of the Legislatif Body M.
Monpeyroux severely censured the proclamations
issued by the Prefect of Nancy, and the Mayor of
Chalons advising the people to receive the Prussians

He demanded that the Government should dis-
miss them both, for such conduct was apt to destroy
all patriotism.
The Minister of the Interior announced that the
Prefect of Nancy bad been dismissed, but of the
conduct of the Mayor of Chalons nothing was known
yet. The Chamber, he added, may be certain that
the Government would do its duty.
M. Monpeyroux moved the abolition of the
Mobile Guards and the amalgamation of the
'nen with the regular army, thereby creating one
hundred new regiments from the combination of the
Mobile Guards and old soldiers.
The 'House voted the motion urgent, and was re-
ferred to the Military Committee. After some
discussion, the bill introduced by M. Thierry for the
abrogation of the law of 1834 on the private mann.
facture of arms was rejected by 184 against 61
votes. M. Gambetta moved that to-morrow the
'louse should constitute itself as a secret committee
to consider the state of things indicated by General
Trochu's proclamation of to•day. The motion was
agreed to and the house went at once into secret
Committee.

It is asserted that the Committee of the House,
which has been charged with examining the mili-
tary projects of defence proposes to extend the
enrolments to all men from 20 to 35 years of age.
