FRENCH PAPERS OF WEDNESDAY.

(From the afternoon edition of Galignani's Messenger.)
PARIS, APRIL 16.—The whole of the chambers of the
Royal Court of Paris assembled yesterday, and the Court
resolved to take upon itself the investigation of the circum-
stances of the insurrection of Sunday and Monday, and the
conspiracy which led to it. It also, in compliance with an
application from the Procureur-General, decided that there
should be joined to this investigation that already com-
menced against the Societe des Droits de l'Homme. The
Court then appointed President Nuller, and Messrs. Mo-
reau, Poultier, Lassis, and Vanin, counsellors, to be five
commissioners, and Messrs, Jurien and Faget de Baure to
be auditors. It is stated that this resolution was unani-
mous, but the decree is superseded by the determination of
the Government to send the delinquents to be tried by the
Court of Peers.

We are assured that at the house No. 12, Rue Transno-
nain, no fewer than eleven of the inmates were found
killed, and one has since died of his wounds. A woman
and child were wounded. A woman is said to have ob-
tained grace by her supplications, and at the same time
saved the life of a man who was concealed in the chimney.
One of the killed, a journeyman hat-maker, was buried
yesterday. A vast body of his fellow-workmen attended
the funeral.

A great crowd pressed to the Morgue yesterday, to see
some bodies exposed there to be claimed. A party of mu-
nicipal guards were stationed at the door to maintain order.
Yesterday morning Marshal Lobau, accompanied by
General Jacqueminot, visited Colonel Chapuis, of the 4th
legion, whose arm, though seriously wounded, will, it is
hoped, not require amputation, and announced to him
that the King had promoted him to the rank of commander
of the Legion of Honour. They afterwards went to the
house of M. Baillot, intending to communicate to him
that his Majesty had named him an officer of the order, but
he unfortunately had died of his wounds before their ar-
rival. The marshal was deeply afflicted at the intelli-
gence, and taking from his brea,st the cross he wore, he left
it with his family as a token of his regret.
The ministerial evening journal has the following :
" The Government received yesterday two telegraphic
despatches from Lyons. It was not till Monday night that
the struggle could be said to be finally terminated, since
the occupation of the fauxbourgs by the insurgents, as the
continual combats that arose, prevented the communica-
tions from being completely restored till then. On Satur-
day La Guillotiere and the principal quarters of the town
were delivered from the rebels, as before announced. There
were some very sanguinary conflicts in the church of St.
John, and at other important points, and it was hoped
that these had put an end to all further resistance. The
insurgents, however, encouraged by some false intelli-
gence, and excited by some secret agents, who directed
their proceedings, continued to hold out at Fourviers
and La Croix Rousse. On Sunday, there was
fighting at the Clos Casati and St. George's ; but
on Monday, the troops were in full possession of St.
George's and La Croix Rousse—so that the whole
of Lyons, and the fauxbourgs, are now under the
control of the Government, and the laws. Thus,
for five successive days, it has been necessary to keep
up a constant warfare with enemies who, without
running any very great danger themselves, have been able
to occasion considerable loss to the troops opposed to them.
We are assured that the silk-weavers, whose cause has been
made the pretence, did not take any very active part in the
proceedings. The insurgents proclaimed the republic, and
hoisted the red flag at Fourvieres, which, however, has been
replaced by the national colours. Blood has been shed at
St. Etienne. Some of the anarchists have been killed, and
Right soldiers wounded. At Grenoble and Marseilles the
agitators have made attempts to excite the people, but have
not succeeded. At Auierre the telegraph was burnt, but
it was immediately re-established. The following are copies
of the despatches, both of which are dated Lyons, April 15,
10 o'clock in the morning :

" THE PREFECT 6F THE RHONE TO THE MINISTER OF

the 11th and 12th of April and following days, and at Paris
on the 13th and 14th of April. By this ordinance M.
Martin du Nord is named Procureur-General to the
Chamber of Peers, and is to be assisted by M. Chegaray,
Prucureur du Roi at the Court of Premiere Instance at
Lyons, and M. Franque Carre, substitute of the Prom-
reur-General of the Cour Royale of Paris.
The chamber listened to the reading of this ordinance
with the deepest silence, and decided that the peers should
assemble this day, for the purpose of constituting them-
selves into a court of justice.
The interrupted debate on the project of law relative to
the itat of the officers of the army and navy was resumed,
and articles 7 and 8, after some discussion, were agreed to.
At five o'clock the chamber adjourned.

CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, SITTING OF APRIL 15.

The Keeper of the Seals ascended the tribune to make
a communication from the government, and said, that the
recent deplorable events of which the capital had been the
I:,...Ltre, furnished an incontrovertible proof of the insuffi-
ciency of the existing laws to repress such criminal
attempts ; and that with the view of remedying this defect,
the government proposed for the adoption of the chamber
the following project of law :
" Art. 1. Any person having in their possession, or
being the depositary of arms or ammunition, for which he
cannot show the legal authorisation, shall be liable to be
summoned before the tribunals of correctional police, and
condemned to a confinement of from one month to two
years, and to a fine of from 16 to 1,000 francs.

" the objects seized shall be confiscated. Those who
may be condemned under this law shall be subjected to
the surveillance of the police for a time equal to the maxi-
mum of imprisonment ordained by the penal law. In case
of a second offence, the penalties shall be doubled.
"2. The persons who, in an insurrectional movement,
having for object one or more of the crimes pointed out by
article 86 of the penal code, and the following articles, up
to 97 inclusive, and who shall be taken with arms in their
hands, though they should have made no use of them, shall
be condemned to hard labour for ten years at least, and not
more than ten. If they shall have made use of the said
arms, they shall be condemned to death.
" 3. Those who, without carrying arms, shall have aided
in erecting barricades, or other obstructions to the progress
of the public force, shall be condemned to an imprisonment
of at least four years, and not more than ten.
"4. In all the above-mentioned cases, if there should
appear extenuating circumstances, the article 463 of the
penal code shall come into operation."
The President of the Council laid upon the bureau two
projects of law, one asking for an extraordinary credit
of 14,014,000 f. for the year 1834, and the other a credit
of 22,440,000 f. for the service of 1835. The minister
stated, that the object of both these projects were to main-
tain the army in sufficient force to check the audacious at-
tempts of the factious. (Prolonged sensation.)
M. Havin—l move that the credit asked for the year
1835 be referred to the commission of the budget.
After a few words from M. Passi, against the proposi-
tion of M. Havin, the two projects were ordered to be
taken into consideration by the committees of the chamber.
The further discussion of the project on the superan-
nuated fund was, after an attempt by the centre to continue
the debate, adjourned to this day.

SITTING OF APRIL 16,

M. Etienne, Vice-President, in the chair.

M. Paraut laid upon the bureau the report on the pro-
ject of the law relative to the repression of crimes com-
mitted by Frenchmen in the Levant.
The adjourned debate on the project relative to the su-
perannuated fund of the old civil list was resumed.
Art. 1. was agreed to in the following ttrms :—The
funds possessed by the State, but belonging to the super-
annuated fund of the old civil list, as also the Rentes 5 per
Cents. inscribed in its name in the great book of the public
debt, shall be divided amongst those having a right, con-
formably to the rules of common right and the laws and
ordinances regulating the fund.
M. de Belleyme proposed a second article to the follow-
ing effect :—The partition shall be made by a special com-
mission appointed by royal ordinance.
M. Estoucelin opposed the article.
M. Charlemagne proposed an amendment as follows :
" All the titles, powers of attorney, and other documents
put in by the claimants of this fund in justification of their
claims shall be stamped and registered gratis."
Messrs. Teste and Vivien spoke in favour of M. de Bel-
leyme's additional article.
M. Salverte said he must oppose it.
At a quarter past three the discussion on this project,
which offers nothing of interest, was proceeding.
