CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, DEC. 15.

' At half-past one the Sitting commenced : the
Chaulber was very fnll, blit no Minister ap-
',Feared. It was obsers'ed that the centre was

Very thin.

• _The business of the day began by M. Bazire
ins-Airig. a report relative to the election of M. Du-
rand, whom the Committee had returned as duly
eleCted. In the midst of •a debate on this. sub-
ject, a noise was heard in one
,of the-lobbies, and
immediately the State Messengers and Ushers
made their appearanee befOre the new Ministers,
who were introduced in a body,, and with the
usual ceremony. Messieurs tie Villele and Cor-
biere, in ministerial costume, entered first,. and
took their seats ; next came the- Duke of Bel-
•lutio, in the uniform of a Marshal or -France ;
and Vis Count de Montmoretiey,: in the dieSs of
a Peer; M. de Peyronnet, in that of a Deputy,
his Excellency not having yet assumed the robes
of
.Keeper of the Seals. The Marquis de Cler,
•snout Tonnere was absent.

This novelty interrupted the proceedings of
'the Chamber for some time. The discussion then
continued ; the result of which was the admis-
sion of N. Durand, the proposition for such ad-
MisSiOn being supported by the- whole of the left
side, a part of the centre, and a great number of
the Deputies on the right. A part of the right
opposed it.

• After some routine business; the Reporter of
one of the Committees moved, that a Petition
should be laid before the President of the Coun-
cil of MiniAers. Upon which several voices on
the right exclaimed, " Is there still a President
of the Council ?"

To which several voices on the right replie&--'7
" No; there is no longer such a functionary."—
(Considerable noise.)
M. de FLOIILAC made a report on the petition
of the widow Lesurque, whose husband was ex-
ecuted in 1796, though his innocence had since
been solemnly recognized.—The report was or-
dered to be printed.
The order of the day in immediate succession
was the report of Made Vaublanc, on the law
project relative to the censorship of the journals.
'The reporter had been in readiness from the be-
ginning of the Sitting, and M. de St. Aulaire and
several members of the left seemed already dis-
posed to inscribe their names in support of the
presumed conclusions of the Committee ; but in
the course of the debate, and after the arrival of
the Ministers, it was spread about:that the report
would not, be made. This rumour had already
gained credit, when the President announced
..as arbuuL LC/ tprak•
--(A gre,t sensation in the Chamber, and then a
profound silence.)
M. de PEYRONNET, Keeper of the Seals, then
• spoke as follows :—" Gentlemen„ the 'King hav-
ing Ordered us to prepare immediately a new law
project as to the regulation (la polieJ) of the
journals, has also commanded us to lay before
-the Chamber the following ordinance."—(An
almost universal movement of satisfaction.)
" Louis, &c.—The project of law relative to
the continuation of.the law of March 31, 1820,
and of July 26, 1821, is withdrawn.
".Our Keeper of the Seals is intrusted with
the execution of this'ordinance.
-" Dated Dec. 15, 1821. (Signed) " LOUIS."
The'reading of this document was followed
with strong marks of approbation from the right
side, anti with unequivocal symptoms of impa-
tience on the left.

MECHIN, &C.—" By whom
is this ordinance countersigned ?" •
M. DE PEYRONNET (as he was descending from
the tribune) answered coldly—" By the Keeper
of the Seals."—(New signs of impatience.)
Several voices.--" Which ?"
Voices on the Right.—" There are not two
Keepers of the Seals."
Voices from the Centre.—" What ! have you
not read The Moniteur "

M. DE GEIIARDIN.--." This Keel -of the Seals
surely has a name."—(Violent mama of disap-
probation from the right and the centre.)
In the midst of this confusion, M. EE PEYRdN.
NET resumed his seat with an air of great indif-
ference.

The President, after formally recognizing the
ordinan,ce just presented, stated that he had re-
ceived the following letter :
Y. eItESIDENT—" Being called to the Minis-
try siiice our appointment to be Members of the
Committee on the Budget, we think it our duty
to request you to desire the Committees who
a9Se, us to proceed to a new election.

• (Signed) " Da VILLELE and CORBIERE."
M. DE GERARDIN." These gentlemen ought
also to give in their resignation of their functions
of Vice Presidents of the Chamber."
The President then invited the first and fourth
Committees to choose Members instead of MM.
VISLELE and COECIERE.

There being then no farther business before
the Chamber, it broke up without any day being
Lxed for the next meeting.
'Notice of the day of meeting is to be sent to
the houses of the Deputies.
The Moniteur of Sunday contains Royal ordi.:
Dances announcing the following promotions :
