The Paris Journals of Sunday last bring a report
of the proceedings in the Chamber of Deputies on
Saturday. Although the KIND'S Answer, and the
Levis on the Liberty of the Press, were not imme-
diately before the Chamber, yet a Petition having
been presented on the latter subject, the discussion
turned entirely on these two points. Several Mem-
bers, Ultras as well as Literals, spoke in the severest
terms against the Ministers ; and M. DE Sena; the
Keeper of the Seals, being the only Member of the
.Cabinet present, made but a very indifferent defence,
and one Tor 'Which his colleagues will scarcely thank
him. The impudence with which he declared, that
losing the confidence of the National Representatives
was not a sufficient reason for Ministers resigning, ex-
cited, as it well might, astonishment and loud murmurs-
Nothing decisive was done : but the President, whose
conduct was certainly censurable, appeared so sensible
of the disposition of the Chamber against the Minis-
ters, that he did not dare to put any question to the
vote.—On Monday, the great question on the Liberty
of the Press comes before the Chamber in their re-
spective bureaux ; and we are much deceived in the
spirit which seems to pervade the Chamber, if Minis-
ters can carry a measure so odious, er retain their

situations mush longer.
The proceedings in the Chamber is the only article
of interest in the French Papers of Saturday: ex-
cept the trial of M. de illsnExaza, before the Court
of Assize, for having published a work, in two vo-
lumes, entitled " Chansons." which contains several
songs offensive to public morals, to religion, and to
the person of his Majesty.
M. de lizazzoza pleaded that several of the songs
had appeared in former collections.
M. Draw defended him.

NI. Vt BERENGER was found guilty, and sentenced
to three months imprisonment and a fine of 500 francs.

CHAMBER O.F DEPUTIES, DECEMBER S.
The Sitting was opened at 25 minutes past one
o'clock, when M. BAzIRE read the Report on the Pe-
titions. Oae of these was from Sieur filly, at Paris,
who wished for a law to regulate the public Jour-
nals, without subjecting them to a Censorship.
The petitioner complained of the licensing the jour-
nals, which, he said, bad occasioned great abuses. In
one word, he wished the journalists to abstain from
all discussion—(A lank).
M. BAZIRE said, it was proposed to refer this Pe-
tition to the Commission charged with examining the
Projects of Law on the Press and the Censorship.
M. de CASTELBAJAC mounted the tribune, amidst
a lively sensation in the Chamber, and demanded that
the petition should be sent back to the President of the
Council and the Minister of the Interior. " I demand
it, Gentlemen (said he); because if ever there was a
circumstance to which importance ought to be at-
tached, it is that which guarantees the public liberty ;
and, above all, in the difficult situation in which we
are placed. In fact, Gentlemen (and here I must re-
vert to a suLject the most painful to my heart, because
my heart is French), in the situation in which the
Ministers have put us, where are our guarantees,
when the whole Chamber has been calumniated to
the Monarch ? What interest in common have the
Ministers with us? If they have jestly deprived
children of the confidence of, their father—if they
have justly disinherited us of paternal kindness, what
then shall we do? To "what law can we give our
consent, if confidence among the Powers is the only
means of doing good, and if we merit not that confi-
flea-neer The orator spoke at considerable length,
and in strong terms, against the Ministers, who, he
said, did not dare to appeal to France, because they
knew France had decided against them. " I said,
last year (said be), from this tribune, that you hated
the Royalists ; and now you prove it, in calumniating
a faithful and devoted Chamber to the King."
The Kuraa of the SIALI defended the Ministers,.
and said, when Members of that Chamber violated
all the rules by which it should be governed, it was
easy to place Ministers in a false position. As to die
question respecting the Journal% it could not dies
be well discussed—( Violent mimorstrs on bog sides;
wow voices cried," why not e)- Minister% he

said, potsessedite confidence of the King in the di- I
rectina of the Government, and he did not doubt but
that they would preserve it, if they had really lost
the confidence of the Chamber—(Much noise, and
several voices exclaiming "-They have lost it!")—The
Keeper of the Seals resuMed. The confidence of the
Chambers was not to be judged of by the voice of a
few Members,- , however lively or vehement they
might be, it was only by their deliberations and, by
their repeated decisions in the same spirit that could
determine it. It was certainly a misfortune that the
men whom the King deigned to honour with his
confidence, had lost that of the Chamber, but this was
not sufficient to induce them to abandon the helm.

A Matasan.—They won't go out.
The KEEPRR of the SRALs said, the Ministers had'
prayed the King to place in other hands the confi-
dence with which he had honoured them; but to do
that, it was necessary that a new system should be
formed, which would restore order to the present
state of things.
M. GASTELEAJAC replied. •
de Sa LLA BERRY supported the previous speaker.
A Minister, he said, had thrown the gauntlet to a
Constitutional Monarchy : he has laid a sacrilegious
hand on the palladium of our liberties, the most dear
to our interests. The Ministerial calumniator had
thrown the glove to the defenders of the-Charter—
the public interest, in which every Frenchman was
concerned—in one word, to the whole Chamber
of Deputies. He concluded an energetic speech, by
observing, that it was the intention of the Minister of
Foreign Affairs and his colleagues to lavish employ-
ments and the public treasure on liege men. They
were bound by a masonic oath; their treaty, how-
ever, consisted but of one article, mutual assurance—
( Muds laughter).
The KEEPER of the SEALS would not reply to the
Hqnourable Speaker, as he did not understand him;
he also pleaded that he was the only Minister present.
A voice—" Why have we not M. Pasquier?"
M. de CHAUVELIN spoke at great length. lie said
he did not vote for the Address from a hostile dispo.
sition.' It was not merely the hatred of the Ministers
• which induced him to join those Members with whom
he had never'before voted. It was the thought that
in voting with those he bad so long combated, that
tiq migl force Ministers from a system so ruinous.
(A number of voices to the right—" And we also."—
Bravos and applause).—lie concluded by supporting
the proposition of M. de Castelbajac.
The PRESIDENT raid, there were tseo propositions,
the first had not been opposed ; and the second did
not appear to have undergone more difficulty=.
(Murmurs to Me /el).
M. B. CONSTRNE.--•-" It has been opposed by the
Keeper of the Seals."
• M. DEIS ARSAT.—" Put both to the vote, and let
us see wbibir has the majority."
A voice to the left.—" You fear the weakness of

your minority."
The PRESIDENT.—" I shall do what I have always
done. I never put to the vote a proposition which
has not been opposed."
M. de CORDELLES.--41 To the vote— To the vote P
The PRESIDENT repeated that it was not customary
to put a proposition to the vote which had not been
opposed; but he was not ignorant of the motives of
those who wished him to derogate from the general
rule—The Report on the Petitions was then continued.
The PaesiDENT proposed that the Chamber should
assemble in their bureaux on Monday, for the exa-
mination of the Projects of Law on the Press and
the Journals.
M. CORNET DINCOURT wished that dne Commis-
sion should examine both.
M. de la BOURDONNAVE opposed it, and demanded
that the Commission on the Censorship should first
make their report.
Several Members, among whom was M. B. CON-
STANT, supported the motion of M. de la Bourdonnaye.
As the motion of M. d'lncourt was not supported,
it was not put to the vote.
The Chamber then adjourned to. Monday.

Five Hambargh Mails, bringing Papers to the sth
of December, have been received. The following
are extracts t

DAMBURGIT, DECEMBER 4.

Though the ship Nile, Captain A. Lyon, which
has arrived at Cuxhaven from Smyrna, is provided
with all papers in perfect order, and a certificate of
health, the Senate has, however, thought proper, for
greater security, under the present circumstances, to
give directions that it shall either perform a rigorous
quarantine of forty days at the mouth of the Elbe,
or else proceed to some quarantine harbour in the
ninth, to discharge and purify its cargo.
' Accounts from Vienna say, the first news of the
invasion of Turkey by the Persians, was received by
the English Embassy at Vienna.
The Grand Duke Nicholas was expected at Riga
to inspect the fortress of Dunamunde. Reports of
war were in circulation at Riga.
According to a letter from St. Augustine, in Flo-1
ride, of the 7th of October, the yellow fever had,
broken out there, and almost all the persons attacked
by k died.

cated from Spain, the Royal Board of Trade has
