inst.nine Cantonal Deputies—namely, Glaris, Zug, St.
Gall,'Friburgh, Uri, Outer Appenzell, Schaffhousen,
Neufchatel, and Argau, spoke in succession. No new
opinions were elicited. On the sth there was no
sitting. The discussion was renewed on the 6th, of
which we have not as yet received any report.
The Paris Constitutionnel contains the following:—

"At the sitting of the Diet on the 3d, M. Neuhaus, the
deputy for Berne, moved the appointment of a Committee to
frame propositions that would reconcile as much as possible
the tenour of the different instructions given to the deputies,
and to examine the questions of the free corps and the
amnesty.' On the 4th the representatives of the two parties
into which the Diet is divided engaged in angry personalities.
It was believed that the Committee proposed by M. Neu-
haus would be agreed to."

Madrid journals of the 2d inst. have been received.
They contain no facts of importance, but various
rumours. A Carlist outbreak was expected, according
to the Clamor Public°. A letter in that journal
states that the conspiracy lately discovered at Vit-
toria was amongst the Carlists. Every day emissa•
ries of that party passed through Bayonne on their
way to St. Jean de Luz, where they held their
meetings, and, according to the writer, there was
every probability that a Carlist outbreak would occur
early in spring in the northern provinces. A strong
opposition was expected in the Chamber of Deputies
against the Bill for the restoration of the unsold
Church property.
The Three per Cents. closed at 35 at 60 days ; the
Five per Cents. at 25/ at 60 days; and the Debt
without Interest at 7i at 60 days.

The debate in the French Chamber of Peers on
the Secret Service Money Bill terminated on Friday,
after three days of stormy discussion. That Chamber
is more remarkable even than the British House of
Lords fur its staid demeanour, observance of pro-
propriety, and dignified proceedings. Last week,
however, all rules were broken through— Lhe House at
one time was in the most ungovernable uproar, per-
sonalities were retorted, defiances thrown out, and
almost open challenges given in presence of the
President, Duke I'ASQUIER. The discussion on this
question had been personal throughout. On the first day
both Count MOLE and M. G UIZOT seemed to depart from
their usual conduct in this respect, and speak only
against each other. Next day Count SALYASIDY, who is
regarded as a renegade by some, a political character
the most fitted to create disturbance in a free assem-
bly, because he is respected by neither party, again
attacked Count MOLE, who in a fit of high passion
exclaimed, " After what I have just heard from the
Minister of Public Instruction, I am tempted rather
to pity him than to reply," which roused other
speakers, till the President, with the unanimous con-
sent of the Chamber, was compelled to reprove the
most noisy by calling him to order. It may be in•
teresting, however, to give a brief outline of the
scene. M. DE SALVANDT, who was appointed
Minister of Public Instruction, on the illness of M.
VILLEMAIN, attacked Count MOLE (who, by the way
appears to have been for some time in a feverish
state of excitement, and does not at all like to be
classed with M. TMERS' party). After adverting to
the policy of CASIMIR PERIER and others, he came
to that of Count MOLE, and said :
" He should not characterise the policy which was opposed
to that of the Conservative party ; he should merely remark
that two or three Cabinets had more or less inclined towards
that policy, and he would ask all those who had watched the
progress of affairs, what traces those administrations had left
behind them—what pages they had written for history—
what, in fine, had been their character ? Their whole course
might be summed up in those words—a short duration, an
existence without strength, a renown without glory.—(Hear,
hear.) And why, he would ask, was this ? Because those
ministries had no point of support—because they did not de-
pend on the great interests of order and conservatism, the
first elements and indispensable condition of all govern-
ment. He had been accused of inconsistency, because at
another period he had differed in opinion from the present
Cabinet un the subject of a word spoken in the Chamber of
Deputies ; but why should such a question have raised
up a barrier between the Cabinet and himself, when the
Government never for a moment contemplated making it
a Cabinet question, and when even it would not have
taken any part in the deliberation but for the initia-
tive taken by a Member of the other Chamber.
Was there any reason to tremble for the morrow ? Was
there, he would ask, any appearance of war abroad, or at
home could they perceive the slightest symptoms of uncer-
tainty or agitation in the public mind ? What pretext, then,
could there be to divide the majority and place the Govern-
ment in other hands? Was it believed that the Conserva-
tive interest was so weak, that It could be so capriciously di-
vided, that it depended on one man, however great his as-
cendancy, to sow disunion in its ranks? What would be-
come of the Government on the day of such an event?
What would become of the standard of Casimir Perier?
Men who once chore in public affairs, because they had a
firm support in the Conservative party, would become power-
less if they had not, in the same degree, its confidence and
its support. What was the influence which was to weigh
on the Cabinet on going towards the electoral body?
Apparently that of the political party which had supported
it in the Chambers, and which recognised it as the
guardian of its interests. Of what elements would
the majority of a future Ministry be composed? It
had been openly declared—of the most heterogeneous
and the most ill-matched materials. Security was now
universal ; the sentiment of peace was in every mind, and it
was at such a moment that the majority of the two Cham-
bers would choose to change the general policy of the Go-
vernment, to make it subservient to the caprices of a party I
No, it was impossible. The majority better comprehended
its interests; the Conservative party had more wisdom than
its adversaries appeared to give it credit for. The Conserva-
tive policy would be maintained, it would obtain the sanc-
tion of the Chamber of Peers.—(hear, hear.)
" Count Mole was exceedingly surprised to find the Hon.
Minister comin,, to seek and attack him in his place in the
Chamber. He knew that difficult situations were usually
defended by violence, and that the necessity to apologise
often betrayed itself by hostility towards those who were
dreaded. But he could declare that, after the conduct which
he had seen the Hon. Minister observe for the last two years,
he was more tempted to pity him than to reply to his asser-
tions.—(Loud exclamations; confusion.)
" The President must call on the Noble Peers to confine
themselves within the strict limits of Paliainentary debate,
and lay aside all personal questions.—(Hear, hear.)
" Count Mole could assert, in excuse for his language, that
the speech of the Hon Minister was nothing but a long tissue
of personalities.—(Marks of denial and confusion.
The Minister of Public Instruction said that lie rose to
submit with deference to the suggestion of the Noble Presi-
dent. He would only add one word—that the idea of per-
sonalities had never entered his mind, for the simple reason
that his polictical conduct had always, for the last five years,
been consistent, and in strict conformity with the opinions
which he ;had professed when forming part of the Ministry
of April 15 with the Noble Count.
" The Marquis de Boissy, who ascended the tribune amidst
general marks of impatience from the Chamber, observed
that the matter under discussion was a vote of confidence.
But out of 2SO Peers then present, not less than 151 received
the money of the State.—( Laughter ) Yes, the number
was certainly as great as lie had state(l.—(General Colbert,
a member of the Bureau, here interrupted M. de Boissy with
some remark, on which the latter, addressing him, asked)—
Does the Gallant General speak for any matter personal to
himself?
" General Colbert—No.
" The Marquis De Boissy—Then hold your tongue. You
have no right to speak.
"General Colbert (rising up)—You are an ill-bred fellow.
--(Great agitation.)
" The Marquis de Boissy—l am delighted at this interrup-
tion, for it will prevent others being made hereafter.
"General Gourgaud (from his place)—ls it a threat you
utter ?

" The Marquis De Boissy—Take it as you think fit.—
(Confusion.)
" Several voices—Order, order.
" A loud indignant voice—Leave the place :—(Great confu-
sion prevailed for some thne.l
" The President—There is certainly a great difference be-
tween a call to order pronounced by the Chamber and one
from the President. Does the Chamber desire itself to call
the Noble Peer to order ?—(Cries of Yes, yes.')
"The Chamber being then formally consulted, decided by
a great majority that M. Do Boissy was thereby called to
order.

" The Marquis De Boissy—l can only bow to the decision
of the Chamber, and I do so with respect. But I must
declare that too frequently in this Chamber attempts are
made to prevent speakers from freely uttering their senti-
ments. He entreated the Chamber and the President to

protect him against the attacks which prooceeded from
certain benches. He had been interrupted from the bureau
in a manner which he could not but think most improper.—
(Cries of "True, true.') Ile said that without prejudice to
what might hereafter take place out of that assembly.
" The President said he would never permit any speaker to
remain unprotected when he was in order."

The Marquis DE BOISST made a few more remarks,
and the Chamber rose at half-past five in great

excitement (au milieu d'une +rive agitation). Fears
were entertains l that these personalities might lead
to duels, and precautions, accordingly, were taken to

make certain Members give their words of honour to

prosecute the affair no further. The result, with the

Lecture of the President to the Chamber is thus

given :—On the Chamber meeting next day, Duke

PASQUIER said—
" Before the Chamber proceeded to the business of the
day, he thought it would wish to hear how the incident that
had occurred towards the close of the preceding day's sitting
had terminated. Ile had thought it his duty to invite the
noble Peers more immediately concerned to repair to his pri-
rate room, and there, in the presence of certain other noble
Peers, who certainly merited entire confidence—(as would
be evident to the Chambers when he mentioned the names
of Marshal Valee, Count de Tascher, M. Frank Cane, the
Marquis de Turgot, and Count de Montalembert)—in the
presence of these gentlemen, explanaticns were mutually
given, from which it resulted that nothing had occurred
which could seriously wound the delicacy and susceptibility
of any one, and consequently that there was no reason why
the noble Peers, whom the warmth of discussion had

nvolved in the incident alluded to, should not remain

good friends, as ought to be the case with all the Members of
the Chamber. The noble Peers, principally concerned, ac-
quiesced in the views of their noble friends, and so the mat-
ter terminated. For my part,' continued the President, I
think I ought to take advantage of this occasion to point out
to the Chamber that good may sometimes emanate from evil.
(Hear, hear.) The incident which occurred yesterday
proves most strongly how absolutely necessary it is, that all
the Members of the Chamber of Peers should observe most

strictly all our regulations, as well as the laws of propriety.
The former most positively declare that no Member ought
ever to be interrupted. I have frequently impressed the un-
