CHAMBER OF PEERS, Mutcm 3.

At half past one o'clock Baron Pasquier, the President,
took the Chair, when about thirty Peers, who were pre-
sent, formed into knots throughout the Hall, and engaged
in very animated conversations. By degrees the Members
arrived, and at two, the House being in number, the sit-
ting was opened.
The President announced that the Bill for the abroga-
tion of the anniversary of the 21st of January was the first
object as the order of the day ; but being informed that
M. Tascher, the reporter, was not as yet prepared to pre-
sent his report, be proposed to the Chamber to vote upon
seven projects of law relative to extraordinary taxes which
some departments were authorised to levy for local pur-
poses. This course having been acceded to, these pro-
jects of law were severally adopted without any discussion.
M. de Tascher, having at last arrived, ascended the tri-
bune. He said that the Chamber of Peers had thought pro-
per to amend the first article of the Bill relative to the
abrogation of the law of Jan. 19, 1816, sent up by the
Chamber of Deputies. The latter having rejected that
amendment, the Chamber of Peers had again referred the
Bill to the same Committee. That proof of confidence,
he slid, imposed upon the Committee the obligation to go
into a new investigation of the subject ; and, after a ma-
ture examination, they declared they could not consider
the question in a different point of view from their first
decision. The last resolution of the elective Chamber
could not make them alter their opinion. However, they
were conscious of the necessity •f putting an end to the
difference existing between the two legislative bodies—a
difference which they were aware. could not be prolonged
without danger, and they, consequently, were unanimously
resolved to reject the Bill for the abolition of said anniver-
sary, voted by the Chamber of Deputies.
Some Members having asked that the Chamber should
deliberate that instant on the Bill,

General Dejean in vain objected that it would be more
decorous to let it follow the course of every other project
of law in discussion.

The Chamber decided that the discussion should imme-
diately commence.
M. Cornet read a manuscript in favour of the decision
of the Chamber of Deputies, which the old age and feeble
voice of the orator did not admit our hearing.
The Duke de Choiseul, who followed next, said that his
attachment for Louis XVI. would have prevented his
speaking on the question before the House ; but as a Peer,
and a French citizen, and a friend to that unfortunate
King, he found himself bound to speak. When that
Monarch was abandoned by all, he (M. de Choiseul) con-
stantly remained by him, was wounded in his service, and
for five years was in constant danger of losing his head on
the scaffold for Isis attachment to him and his virtuous
Queen. He then went into a panegyric of that Prinee,
who was, he said, averse to affording any cause for creating
discord among his subjects, and he conceived he was exe-
cuting yet the wishes of Louis XVI., and doing homage
to his memory, in voting for the abrogation of the law of
January 19, 1816.
After a desultory discussion on the mode of voting, the
President insisted on the Chamber commencing by voting
publicly, and several Members wishing to open at once
the secret ballot, it was settled that they should at first
vote publicly on the Bill, which was negatived by a very
large majority.

The Chamber then proceeded to vote by secret ballot,
when, out of 134 Members present, 56 supportod the
abrogation of the Chamber of Deputies, a❑d 78 voted
against it. The Bill was consequently lost.
M. de Montalivet was the only Peer amongst the Mi-
nisters present at the sitting ; the other two, viz., Marshal
Souk and Count d'Argout, being absent.
The Chamber next deliberated upon the project of law
having for its object to permit marriages between brothers
and sisters-in-law, uncles and nieces, and vice versa,
already adopted by the Chamber of Deputies.
Four o'clock.

The Chamber of Peers assembled to day at two o'clock,
and the report of the Committee on the Bill for the abro-
gation of the law authorizing the solemnization of the
anniversary of the 21st of January was immediately
brought in. After a speech in favour of the abolition from
M. Cornet, which was not heard, in consequence of the
feeble voice of the speaker, who is a very old man, and
another on the same side from the Duke de Choiseul, the
Chamber proceeded to vote en the total rejection of the
Bill ; when the numbers appeared—
For the rejection 7B
For adopting the measure of the Deputies 56
Majority —22
This vote is thought to render the formation of new
Peers a matter of absolute certainty.

PARIS, MARCH 3.
We continue to be destitute of important continental
nest a, and, indeed, look to you for information on the
present singular position of Europe, instead of being able
to furnish you with it. Disguise it as they may, on your
nod depends the will of the Continental Soiereigns.
The majority on the Reform Bill, last Tuesday night,
although not so great as it ought to have been, appears
nevertheless, to all men capable of judging at this distance
from Loudon, decisive of the question of peace or war.
With even such a majority, no doubt is entertained of the
stability of your Ministry, and on such a Ministry all the
wiles and snare of that arch-magician, Metternich, will
be thrown away. Peace will be re-established if you
will it. . .

There is nothing new, of importance, from Italy. The
delay to which General Cubierea was subjected by tem-
pestuous weather has given the Austrians mere time than
could have been wished to prepare the Roman Court for
declining the volunteered aid of France, for I am assured
that the sending of an expedition to the Roman States
was a measure on which the French Government did
not wait to consult the Austrian Cabinet. Still, on
a point on which England and France agree, it is not
likely that the Pope would, in opposition to them,
attend to the intrigues or adverse representations of
Austria. Very few days will elapse, however, ere the
