FRAN CE.

M. d'Adels ward has, in order to clearly point out
the extent of the legal attributions of the Legislative
Power as far as concerns the right of requisition in
extraordinary and urgent cases, presented a proposi-
tion to the Assembly to the following effect :
" The Executive Power is charged to watch over the
safety and :defence: of Plea Legislative Power; never-
theless, in extraordinary circumstances, of which he
alone will be the judge, the President of the National
mbly by himself, or by one of the Vice-Presidents,
or ;the questors delegated by him, may call for all the
forces which he may consider necessary for the safety of
the Assembly. Officers of all ranks, as well as all
functionaries, who ever they may be who may be called
on, must obey the order of the President, or of his dele-
gae, under pain of the penalties set forth in the law.
The present law is to be posted up in all the barracks of
Paris.

The committee charged to examine the Bill on the
Colonial Banks decided yesterday that only notes of
500 f., 100 f., and 25f. are to be issued. It has rejected
the idea of loans on the standing crops.
The committee charged to examine the demand for
authorisation to arrest M. Mauguin for debt has ap-
pointed M. °non Barrot as President, and M.
Moulin as secretary. M. Mauguin having demanded
to give explanations to the committee, it has fixed to-
day for that purpose.

M. Baze, the questor of the Assembly, has pre-
sented the following proposition :—" No journal or
periodical whatever shall be sold or distributed in the
public streets. Any contravention of this law shall
be tried by the Correctional Tribunal, and punished
with an imprisonment of from one to six months, and
a fine of from 25f. to 501., without prejudice to any
proceedings which may be instituted for crimes or
misdemeanours either against the authors or the
-editors of such publications, or against the vendors
and distributors themselves."
