DEFEAT OF THE DOCTRINNAIRES IN THE CHAM-
BER OF DEPUTIES, AND THE CONSEQUENCES TO
WHICH IT MUST LEAD-TRIUMPH OF THE RIGHT
OF POLITICAL ASSOCIATIONS, OF THE REPUB.
LICANS, AND OF THE ST. SIMONIANS.
(By O. P. Q.)

PARIS, APRIL 9.
Yesterday was a great day—a memorable day--a day
which will not easily be forgotten in the history of
France—to the cause of both civil and religious liberty.
The decisions of yesterday will be referred to in many a
coming year, and will be appreciated by generations yet
unborn. There is no exaggeration in this. The mere
collectors of news—the mere arithmetical correspondents
of certain Loud in papers—the mere observers of the sur-
face of human society in France, will be unable to appre•
ci ate and to understand the results which must ensue from
the decisions of yesterday in the Chamber of Deputies,
and at the Assizes of the Seine, and will almost wonder to
what I can reer ; and yet, by and by, when I have ex-
plained and opened up to you these decisions, you will ad-
mit that they are indeed most important to the cause of
civil and religious liberty.
The decision of the Chamber of Deputies will secure
the Ptess from the oppression of that body—will unavoid-
ably and necessarily lead to the dissolution of the Chun..
ber—will dissolve the Doctrinnaire Cabinet, and will
essentially serve the triumph of Republican and popular
principles.

And, on the other hand, the decision of the Assizes of
the Seine will secure the right of Political Associations,
which was attacked by the worst enemies of France—l
mean the Ductrinnaires ; will abrogate that most absurd
end detestable a,tiele of the penal code (291) which pro-
hibits more than twenty persons from meeting together
without the permission of the Government, and will se-
cure to the French people the right you possess in Eng.
land, and which has never been enjoyed in this country,
viz.—the right of associating for political and religious
discussions without first procuring the assent of the

Government.
We will leave, then, the proprietors and conductors of
certain London Journals in the full and Ili:diet...4-i
I-a-co. order of
things in France is obtaining daily strength and durabi-
lity—and will smile not with anger but pity, when in a
f-w months' or weeks' time, they will write " The change
of the French Ministry by no means astonishes us. We
never expected that the Doctrinnaires could maintain their
ground, and we entertain no doubt that the newly. formed
Administration will have a large and national majority."
I say we will smile and pity, for these writers will one
day he compelled to say that which we now proclaim,
that there will never be peace, confidence, or happiness
in Fiance, until the Revolution of 1830 shall march; and
until, if there lie a throne at all, at least that throne shall
be surrounded by Republican institutions."
To the Chamber of Deputies and its decision we will
first attend. It was occupied with the process of the
tribune, with M. Viennet's charge against the republican-,
or, in other words, with the last effort of the Doctrinnaires
to return to illegality, to violence, to coups d'etat, and to
the method of governing Fiance proposed by the lacqueys
of the palace-4 mean the meth dof governing "by
force." Among the old cabinet laws of the restoration—
never but once resorted to even in that fatal period of
French history-is a law, dated the 25th March, 1822,
which con ers on the Chambers the right of calling to their
bar any journalist or public writer who may attack them,
and of being witness, counsel, judge, and jury in their
own cause. This aw, though not specifically repealed
by name and by date. by the charter of 1830, is really
and virtually abrogated by it—for, as the law of 1822
was prior to the charter of 1830—and as that charter
first of all declared that the press should be free--
and second, that all laws in opposition to that decla-
ration should be considered as repealed and null—it
follows as a matter of course that the law of March,
1822, perished with the restoration to which it he
longed. But even more than this. The c'iarter of 1830
declared that all offences committed by the press should be
tried by a jury—and that a law should be passed to regu-
late the mode of trial. That law has been passed—the
condition of the charter has been fulfilled, and the Chem-
tiers have, therefore, no longer the right of citing journal-
ists at their bar, and taking on themselves the prerogatives
which now exclusively belong to a jury of the country.
But as the Palace and the Government, the Courtiers and
the Doctrinnaires, had been so often disappointed in their
prosecutions of the press—and as they wished to establish
by degrees a sort of censorship, or at least a royal road to
punishment for public writers, they conspired together to
look over all the old mus y laws of the Empire, Republic,
Con-iulate, and Restoration, and to see what laws could be
found which had not been specifically, and by name and date
repealed, and which could now be brought to bear against
the popular and talented political writers of the day. So a
week or two ago they found out an old law, which conferred
on judges the right of punishing journalists if they gave what
was called " incorrect reports" of any trial ; and if they at-
tacked the judges who had presided. And so, without
,
paying any attention to tne fact, that this law was repealed
by the Revolution—by the Charter of 1830—and by the
Law which regulates the mode of prosecuting the press
for its offences, passed in pursuance of that Charter, they
cited the Temps, the National, and the Charivari, before
the Judges for their reports of the pistol-plot process.
Encouraged by a partial (though but partial) and mo-
mentary success at the Assizes of the Seine—the Court
and the Doctrinnaires--the Palace and the Ministers--
then set about finding out whether the Chambers also
could not, under some old law, avenge themselves for any
insult offered to them; and M. Viennet—that political
and literary omnibus—was charged to look out for a
suitable opportunity, and then begin his attack. That
opportunity soon presented itself. The Tribune attacked
the Chamber of Deputies, and the deplorable M. Viennet:
and whilst it ridiculed the latter, it cared the former
" A Prostitute Chamber !" This word " prostitute" was
more than could be borne by the Doctrinnaires. Like
most ladies of easy virtue, they were unusually tenacious
of their feriae ; and whilst a good, prudent, honest house-
wife, who minded the concerns of her household, tt as
faithful to her husband's bed, and was attentive to her
children'. souls and bodies, minds and hearts, would be
perfectly indifferent to the low and vulgar abuse of some
miserable and wretched being who called her " a prosti-
tute," the lady of easy virtue would even be in a passion
at a shrug of the shoulders, and would bring an action or
Prefer an indictment for a hint at her imprudence or
frivolity !
So it was with the Doctrinnaires. The Tribune said
the honest truth, that this Chamber of Deputies is
prostituee ;" and the galled jade winced, for her withers
were well wrung. It was true that the majority had sold
themselves for a mess of pottage. It was true that they
