I replied to this question, Ulu the President Lad
received no notice of it from any one, or I shotad,
have caused it to be: marred in the Order of the
Pay. It 'appears to me that it should be pot..
potted till to-morrow-, that Minister; may be ow 'll c
of 4—(Clamour).—l must .firinially oppose the
discussion of a subject which was not Ow Or4,lcr

Marquis de 'Forbin de&lscars..--The Pi esidein
did receive notice. . ' )
.Piesitlent.—The President did not receive no-
lice ; and after he has so declared in public sitting,
it is a want of respect to the President, and con-
sequently to the Chamber, to contradict it.
M. de Villoe.-Your Commission assembled on--
Saturday, anti - charged toe: to make their. report
to-day.. l even told the Presitient.on Saturday—
I'resident.—That you would makeyour report

M. de VillZde.—Var be it front Me to intend to
say, that M. Laine has not related the facts as
they were tun not sure that 1 told the Presi.-
dent that I should be ready for the present sitting;
but I certainly know, that , the President ,said to
me that he would oppose with •all his power the
bringing forward this report, before the discus-
sion on the budget should be closed. ',Besides, I
do riot. see any thing in , the, rules of this Cham-

success which the result of our long debates upon
the' Law of Eleations hive had in the. Chamber
of Peers, introduces again this important qites-

,Ag.lin ordered by
your Commission to speak to you on a subject
which is allied to our greatest interests, 1 beg the
contiunation of the indulgence which you hare
rleigned to grant me in the first discussion. A
rapid survey of our sit tuition, as it respects Our
political institutions, thefaithfol exposure of ihe
circumstiloces which have deprived France of a.
fundamental Law of E'er:lions, are indispensable
to elucidate tile disciission of the provisional means'
which at e proposed to you, for alleviating tits
difficulties that you foresaw, and which you en-
deavoured to spate your country. .

thae.the tubrmiination and dependence of what .is
Called the, Electoral PoWer, were the only &ath-
tion on which a Law of Elections, sent from the,
Chamber of Deputiei; would obtain the assent of.
Ministers. A mark of reprobation was attached
