CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.—Sirma OF FEB. 16.

M. Berenger took the chair at 25 minutes past I. After
the proas verbal had been read and adopted, M. Tixier de la
Chassaigne brought up a report on the bill for granting a sup-
plementary credit of 2,200,000 f. to complete the indemnities for
damage done to private property during the revolution of July.
The Hon. reporter entered into various details and calculations
to prove that there were some errors in the estimates made by
Governinent, and concluded by proposing to allow the sum of
2,029,000 f. The report was ordered to be taken into considera-
tion on Monday, in order to admit of completing the budget
of the Department of the Interior, the last chapter of which
had been adjourned till after the vote of this law.
M. Pelet de la Lozerc brought up a report on the proptiii-
tion of M. de Corcelles, for some alterations in the standing
orders of the Chamber. The Committee approved of some of
the suggestions of the Hon Deputy, but proposed several mo.
difications, which we shall detail in the discussion of the
report, which was ordered to succeed that of the budget of the
Department of Foreign Affairs.
The Chamber then proceeded to hear the reports on a va-
riety of petitions, o 1 which the following alone presented any
features of general interest :—A petition from some prisoners
for debt was, on the suggestion of M. Aroux, referred to the
Minister "of Justice to examine whether there was not an omis.
sion in the law relative to imprisonment for debt, passed last
session, inasmuch as it does not clearly specify whether
prisoners in prison at the time of the passing of the bill Tray
reckon their previous imprisonment in calculating the time
during which the law allows them to be detained in prison, or
whether that time must only begin to be calculated from the
date of the promulgation of the law.
A petition, praying that a regular tariff may be fixed for all
notarial acts, was, on the recommendation of the committee,
referred to the Minister of Justice, in opposition to the opinion
of M. PHerbette, who wished to pass to the order of the day,
on the ground of the existing legislation being sufficient.

The Chamber, amid universal laughter, passed to the order
of the day on the petition of M. Victor, who prayed that
France would obtain possession of Belgium, by means of a
treaty of alliance with Holland on that condition.
The Chamber was still occupied with the reports on petitions
when our reporter left.

(From Galignani's Messenger of Saturday.)

The Austrian Observer, of the 7th instant, contains the
fallowing :—" According to letters from Cot fu, King Otho, of
Greece, upon his arrival in that port, on board the Madagascar,
was received there in the most solemn manner by the Lord
High Commissioner, Lord Nugent, the Commanding General,
Sir A. Woodford, and other functionaries of the lonian
Government. His Majesty and suite dined with the Lord
High Commissioner, and afterwards attended a ball given at
the Government Palace. After the ball the King returned on
board the frigate. On the following morning the Lord High
Commissioner, with the commanding General, and all his staff_
officers, and a guard of honour, went to the port, when his
Majesty came on shore, amidst the roaring of the cannon of the
ships and the citadel. An innumerable multitude hailed the
King with their cheers, who proceeded to the apartments pre-
pared for him in the Government Palace. Soon after his
Majesty a7peared on horseback on the Esplanade, where a review
of the troops was held. In the evening the Lord High Com-
missioner, with his suite, Sir A. Woodford, the President of
the Senate, the Regent, and many other persons attached to the
Government, dined at his Majesty's table. Advices from
Malta state that Vice-Admiral Sir Henry Hotham left that
island on the I2th of January, on board the Alfred man-of.war,
to proceed to Napoli di Romania, and await there the arrival
orKing °than!'
The Augsburg. Gazette of the 12th instant has the follow-
ing letter of the 3d ult., from Alexandria :—" Yesterday,
upon receiving the news of the victory gained at Konia, and
of the capture of the Grand Vizier, Mehemet Ali declared that
on the arrival of the Grand Vizier he would meet him on the
beach; for, said he, Redschid is a higher functionary of the
I'orte than myself, and lam still its faithful vassal The
Egyptain fleet is in this port. All the vessels are covered with
flags, and are firing salutes, which are returned from the ram-
parts. The rejoicings are to continue for some days." The
same paper quotes Metalliques 5 per Cents. at Vienna, on the
7th, 90 2-5 ; ditto 4 per Cents. 79 14.

PARIS, FEB. Is.—Despatches from England received yes-
terday by the Duc de Broglie, gave occasion for calling a Coun-
cil of Ministers, which met in the evening. Several couriers
have been despatched this morning to Londo►►, Vienna, and
Berlin.

It is affirmed, that if M. Humann and Barthe so warmly
defended the cause of M. Latitte in the debate relative to the
accounts of Hayti, it was because the former sees his responsi.
bilty implicated by the advances which he has made to King
Otho, without being certain that the Chamber will agree to
sanction the Greek loan. The Ministers wished to establish a
precedent. They only half succeeded! But the Chamber is
so obliging!
For some days past many changes of the Secretaries of the
French Legation have been spoken of. It is also said that several
of our Ambassadors and Charges d'Affaires will be changed. It
is still believed that Marshal Maison refuses the embassy to St.
Petersburgh. Yesterday M. de Bassano, or M. Decazes, was
spoken of in some circles as likely to be sent to the Russian
Court.

It is more strongly reported than ever in the financial world,
that a project of law is in contemplation for reducing the in-
terest of the four per cents. It is on the ground of the speedy
presentation of this plan that M. Humann repels the insinuations
respecting the diminution of the sinking. The opposition, how-
ever, seems resolved to propose this diminution.
A meeting of the Deputies of the Opposition, yesterday
evening, is spoken of, in which the question was agitated.

(From the ConslitutionneL)

PARIS, FE/. 13.—An incident, of the highest importance,

distinguished the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies to.day.
It related to an unhappy budget of ecclesiastical affairs, which,
after having passed from one Ministry to another, has at length
stopped, Heaven knows for how long a time, in the depart-
ment of the Minister of the Interior, on the subject of the sum
to be allotted for the salaries of the Bishops. M. Augustin
Giraiici proposed that, by means of successive extinctions, no
nomination should be made to the Episcopal Sees, which were
not comprehended in the Concordat of 1801, at the conclu.
slots of the negotiations with the Court of Rome—that is to
say, in other words, the actual number of eighty Bishops should
gradually be reduced to fifty.

PARIS, FEB. 15.-It is only from the 16th of this month
that the Army of the East, commanded by General Petit, will
be dissolved. Some movements of the troops will take place
in consequence. The 13th light infantry goes from Charleville
to Metz. Major-General Baron Heurion is to go to Givet to
take the command of a brigade formed of the 36th and 37th
regiments of the line, which, without forming part of any
corps, remains brigaded. The 3d division of the infantry of
the Army of the North, under the command of General
Jamiu, retains its complete organization, and is going to be
distributed in the departments of the Ardennes and the Meuse.
