FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Constitutionnel.
In the Chamber of Deputies, on the 15!h, M.
Luneau's proposition to reduce the charte." cn the al-
lowance to the Ministers of the Catholic religion
was in the following manner :-
1 Archbishop of Paris 25,0011f. instead of 50,1)00f.
13 Archbishops at 15,' 00f 95,000f 325,000f.
66 Bishops at 10,000 f 660,00,f 99 ,000 f

SO making a total of S-O,OMf. instead of 1,365,000 f.
forming a having of 48.5,000 f. The Hon. Deputy
also proposed that all Bishoprics, the establishmevt
of which ‘‘ as not authorised by the Concordat of
1801, should be suppressed as they became vacant.
A discussion took place in a desultory manner on
the points, after which the first part of M. Luneau's
amendment, reducing the salaries of the Episcopal
.ee by a sum of 485,0001., was put to the vote, and
adopted by a considerable majority.
CHAMBER OF PEERS, FEB. 16.

The Count de Tascher brought up the report of
the Committee charged with the examination of the
bill for aln,lishing the compulsory cdebration of the
anniversary of the deaih of Louis XVI. The report
said that the total aboliiion of the law enacting the
celehra'ion of the anniversary would be an insul! to
the Kingly dignity, which was part of the constitu-
tional charter, and would be nothing less than a de-
claration that because Charles X. had been deposed
in 1830, the death of Louis XVI.,-Wyears before was
justifiable. It therefore proposed to substitute for the
bill, as sent up by the Chamber of Deputies, the two
following articles :—" I. On the ilst of January in
every year the Courts and Tribunals shall continue
to refrain from sitting. 2. All the other dispositions
of the law of Januaryl9, 1816, are repealed." The
report was ord ted to be printed, and taken into con-
sideration on Tuesday next.
