contrary having been thought necessary, it is curious
t o observe the extreme rancour whieh has prevailed
in all the preparatory proceedings 'relative to the
case. It will be made quite a party question, and
it is probable that the maxinitim of the penalty
which it is in the power of the Chamber to inflict,—
viz., flee years'imprisoriment, will.be applied. The
law which gives the Chamber so extensive a power
was proposed and: insisted upon under. the Govern-
ment of the Restoratiop, and it passed in 1822. It
has never been appealed to before,btit once in 1820,
in a case relating to the Journal du Commerce, which
was defended with great zeal at the bar of the
Chamber by M. Barthe, then a mere barrister, and
now Minister of State, Keeper of the Seals.
The news from Alexandria, which was known
yesterday at the Bourse, checked the rise that th,
funds would have experienced in consequence of the
rise which occurred in the English. funds on Wed-
nesday. To-day, the news having-gaMed more ge-
neral belief, the politicians of the Bourse have nearly
made up their minds that a general war is inevitable,
and the funds have therefore given way. The 3

Letters of the 28th ult. have been received here
to-Jay from Madrid. The Government had ordered
that the Christinos should be disarmed, but no such
measure is to be enforced with regard to the royalist
volunteers. The decree issued by the Queen during
her regency respecting the allowances to emigrants
has been confirmed by the King. Z.

CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.—SITTING or APRIL 6.

M. Benjamin Delessert took the Chair at twenty
minutes to one. The proces-verbal was read and
adopted in the presence of about a dozen Deputies.
M. Roul was about to make some reports on pe-
titions, when

M. Charamaule said, that it was .a mere mockery
to pretend to dispose of petitions in such a desert;
if, he said, petitions were not considered worthy of
serious attention, it would be better to say so at
once, and not report them at all; if they were, they
ought not to be brought before the Chamber when
110 Deputies were present.
M. Roul, therefore, descended from the tribune,
and the Minister of Finance,who entered the Cham-
ber at the same moment, immediately brought in a
bill for granting an extraordinary credit of 5,000,000 f.
for the first instalment of the debt of 25,000,000 f.,
stipulated to be paid by France to the United States
by the trea►y of the 4th of July, 1831, ratified in
February, 1832.
Reports were then made on a number of peti-
tions, none of which presented any features of gene-
ral interest, except the following :
A petition from the inhabitants of Rocroi, pray-
ing for the restitution to France and the arrondisse-
ment of Rocroi of a part of its former territory
ceded to the kingdom of the Netherlands by the
treaty of November, 1815, was, on the recommen-
dation of tl►e Committee, referred without opposi-
tion to the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

A petition from the inhabitants of Chalons•sur-
Saone, complaining of the conduct of the prefect on
the occasion of the disturbances which took place in
that town on the 13th, 14th, 15th, and 16th of
August, 1832, and accusing him of having unneces-
sarily introduced the armed force into the town in-
stead of employing only the National Guard, which
the petitioners contend was quite sufficient to re-
press the disturbances, but which had been dissolved
by the prefect instead of being employed, gave rise
to some discussion, in consequence of the committee
recommending the petition to be referred to the
Minister of the Interior, on the ground that the
petitioners appeared to represent the opinion of the
majority of the town, and that, as a general rule, the
armed force ought only to be employed in the last
extremity.
M. Fulchiron proposed to pass to the order of the
day, urging that the factious and turbulent agitators
always represented themselves (however falsely) as
expressing the opinion of the majority, and that it
was absurd to say that the armed force should only
be employed at the last extremity, since the use of
the armed force was to maintain public order, and at
the last extremity the remedy was applied too late.
—(Murmurs from the extremities.)
General Thiars complained of the last speaker
calling the majority of the inhabitants of Chalons
factious agitators, and after declaring that it appeared
from the statements to be proved that the military
bad been unnecessarily employed, supported the re-
commendation of the committee.

M. Fulebiron explained that he did not apply the
expression to the majority of the inhabitants, but to
those who had originated the tumults by hissing the
Duke of Orleans, Btc.
The Minister of the Interior contended that all
that bad been done by the prefect was perfectly
within the circle of his legal attributions. If he
had violated them the laws pointed out the means of
proceeding against him, but if the exercise of such
administrative powers was to be the subject of spe-
cial discussion and explanation in the Chamber, it
would be impossible to carry on the affairs of the
country and preserve public order at all.
M. Gautier Pages urged that it was because the
Government had the faculty of ordering the acts
which had been done by the prefect that it was pro-
posed to refer the petition to the Minister of the In-
terior, that he might decide whether the prefect was
or was not justified in what he had done. He (M.
Pages) contended that he was not.
After a few words from M. Larabit(the reporter),
the Chamber, by a small majority, passed to the
order of the day on the petition. The Chamber
then formed itself into a secret committee to con-
tinue the discussion of the budget.
(From Gulignani's Messenger.)
The Ofessager des Chambres has the following :
" The news from the .Levant continues to occupy
the Duke de Broglie and the diplomatic body.
The British Ambassador had yesterday a conference
with our Minister for Foreign Affairs, upon the
squadron which the English Government intends to
send to the east. Our squadron there is about to
be considerably reinforced. We are assured that
telegraphic despatches were sent off this morning to
Brest, Toulon, and Cherbourg, conveying orders for
the vessels destined for the Levant to be fitted the
with the greatest speed. Admiral Ducrest de out
leneuve, who is to conduct this squadron toVil-
Dardanelles, is at Paris, but will set out to-morrow
for Toulon. The despatch of the two squadrons,
the French and English, to the east, is far front
giving satisfaction to Count Pozzo di Borgo. The
Austrian Minister had another interview with the
Duke de Broglie this morning. It was rumoured
to-day that Admiral Roussin had arrived at Toulon,
on board a light vessel. We give this news with-
out vouching for its truth, although it is far from
being impossible."
The Augsburg Gazette of the 2d inst., received
by express, contains the following under date of
Vienna, March 27 :—" Our funds are still on the
decline. This is attributed on 'Change to the re-
action of those of Frankfort upon curs, but origi-
nally the news from the east. To bejable, however,
to form a sound judgment, we must wait the effect
this news will produce at St. Petersburgh, and not
act upon the view taken of it by the Cabinet of
Vienna. It will no doubt complain of the weakness
el the Porte in suffering itself to be persuaded by
the French Ambassador that the assistance of the
Russian forces was unnecessary; but it appears that
the Porte has already changed its opinion, for it is
said it has expressly requested the Russian Admiral
to remain in the Bosphorus, although a south wind
has been blowing ever since tie night of the 7th.
It is added that the Sultan finds himself in a most
cruel state of embarrassment, and lie is convinced
that he should have an insurrection in his capital if
the Russian fleet was not moored in the port. The
Sultan has lost all authority in Asia ; deputations
