Two proposals were made—one by Baron Ony, to procure from the
Provisional Government before the close of the debate a communication
of the answer of King William to the Protocol of London, to the pro-
posal of the armistice, &e; the other, by M. Legrette was nearly to the
same effect.

Several members having spoken for and against these proposals, the
President ordered the Galleries to be cleared that the Assembly might

BaesseLs, Nov. 25.—While every body is eager for news how our
MY, the Journals, to patilfy the public impatience, daily publish in-
carats and often erroneous reports, because they are obliged to chose

among the many reports those that seem the most probable. There
have certainly been marches, combats, &c. and yet the Provisional
Government does not give us a scrap of a bulletin. Are the people no
longer worthy of knowing what their defenders are doing?
