CI-lAMBEIt OF DEPUTIES.
iLTTING OV MONDAY, JAN. 6.
The Chamber of Deputies this day resumed the
discussion` on the proposed:Law it Eteetiona..
The.adoptinn, of the Ist article, proclaimed in
the Sitti►►g Of Saturday last, decided, that tl►ere
should' be no primary asseinbties. All -the intee:.
mediate, articles, up to the 7th, were agreed to
after some dibat e.

Art. 7 was to the following effect. ;--•'

" There shall b►i but ono Electoral College in
each department. It must, be co►nposcd or tat
the Electors of the Department, by whom De-
puties to the Chamber are to be direoly chosen."
When the question was stated from tl►e Chair,
interest Seemed to ibe felt ht the
Chatnter..

M. Clausel de ,Consergues contended, that k
was the highest coniegnence to the Monarchy
to preserve t wo steps in the election. The Chinn-

•
scarcely tin. Oth part of its Mernhers chose to en-
ter the pretended Legislative Body brought to-
, ..
gether by the Usurper.. , ' ' , •
The Legislative Body:or 181:3 became the Chain•
ber of Depinies after the 20th of March, 1514,;
and it had already, in the preceding December-,
1813, shown an excellent spirit. Ae appealed tri
nil his ohl colleagues, -and eTecjally to M. Loind,
whether in their private conversations, when em 7

at i lic re7appettrance of this pretended Icgiilator.
lie moved•the rejection of the 7th ortide.

The. President then stll he 'had forgone') to
read M. de Serrti's amendments on the art ide.—
They were to the effect of malcin"r two clectoc,ll
colleges in each department, except that of the
Seine ; oite for electors in towns 'containing a
populatibn of above 1500 souls, and another for
the country parts. •
M. Simeon opposed the motion, dwelling on the
absurdity of making such a d4erence between
men enioying
.the same right, to the effect of
giving one set a direct right of election in all its
plenitude;and the other mtly an indirect,

• •
it LOW stood,, and "Proposed amendments to the
effect of fixing• a larger sunk for the Eleetoral
Cpllege which made the direct choice, while the
secondtwy college should elect the Candidates,
M. Vonsard remarked, that all the amendments
were subversive of the moral effl:et of
the law, which was intended to extinguish 1,,r
ever the old causes of rivalry Iknd discord The'
false steps of pride and opulence should be for
eyer prevented.
IM.,Mareellus contended,
.that if they adopted
the article they would open a new career of public
misfortunes. fie conjured them to leave the Col-
lege! as they were.

Ruyer Collard defended the measure on the
example of England and Ainei ica, %Oleic they
were not two staxes.
M. Bonald opposed the article. He remarked,
that in order to fill the meanest functions of guard
,
chompeire, gaoler, ushers, a certificate of good
life and morals was repsisite ; turd now to fill the
'most bontiarable of functions, that of stn elector

M. Cornet D'lneourt, in speakingamin.st, the
article, took occasion to .sayl—" It is tios, year,
gentlemen; reckoning front this very any! (the ring

we all with one accord adopted the law of Am-
nesty, and banished the rt,! 1.; 'cities. Let us cele-
brate this memorable anniversitrY,. and reject a
,ditmey ()us Jaw,.''
Several Members called for the division. .
M. Benoit warnily'argued agaiirist the article,
M. Lain 6 refitted those ObjettionS the'article
which went on the ground that it, would be dan-
geronsto emit the, elections to a great nitilon. of
eleetort'Collected in one bOdy. Mistrust, he ob-

The close of the discussion was called for.
M. de Serre's amendment, not being supported,
was .set aside.
That of M. Lah.astide ,was re,i,d'bythe Presi
-
dent. The previous question Wit 3 called for.
M. tie Chalabre moved, that the words of tbe
question should be.--" Shan there be .electimis by
one, or tap sloes ?"
This/was, put,to the vote. A firtt trial appear• .
ed doubtful. On the second trial, the bureitil de-
'clared that:li. de ClialAre's motion was rejeCted.
A number of voices--" A call of 'Mmes.!" (Noise;
the President rings his kit.)
The President.—AlAtongls- the biireau has no
