SITTING OF TIM 28TII OF DECEMBER.

The Climber proceeded to the Order of the Day.
M. LAINRi M. BECQURY, and M. BARON Le'Cu.•
via*, resumed their seas on the Ministerial Bench.

M. BUCQUZY defended Ministtn from the charge
of inconsistency in sanctioning the present project,
different as it was from that of last Session. The

interests of the King and of the Country had been
their guide ; and it was only because these seemed
to demand alterations, that alterations had been
adopted. He submitted to the Chamber, that if they
desired to unite and consolidate all interests, they
ought to reject the Amendments proposed yesterday
by M. de Serre. The object of these was to give dis-
tinct deputations to property and industry, by form-
ing Electoral Colleges for town and country. In the
actual state of civilization, this distinction is more
seeming than real. Except in a very small number
of towns, a great number of manufacturers live
in the country, and. the towns, on the other hand,
are inhabited by country proprietors. M. Becquey
concluded by proposing the adoption of the project,
`'tray and simply, as reported by the Commisiion.
M. le Comte de la BOURDONNAte." A law upon
elections was presented by the Ministers of the King
airing last SessiOn. That law, to which the Minis.
tens appeared to attach great importance, was re-
jected—and the Chamber which had rejected it, was
dissolved. It was natural to think that a project so
regretted, would be re-produced. an the contrary,
the Ministry which bad so vigorously defended, now
abandoned it, and submitted a project fotmded sin a
system perfectly opposite—as if since last Session,
an invasion of barbarians, overturning the established

aevornment—destroying at the name the soci4l sys.
tern, haJ made us a new people— or as if intro-
election of one new Minitter into the directory of Govern-
ment (violent murmurs), had bee' alle to chary the maxim
of the Monarchy."
M. V ovum de GARTEMPE spoke to order. He
censured the expression of directory of Government as
disrespectful and improper to Ministers in the confi-

dence of their Sovereign.
M. ur BOURIVUNAYS did not wish to encroach on
the House : if they thought him Out of order he
would willingly sit down.
M. LAME considered the expression which had
been used tended to comrromise the dignity of the
King; and he submitted, that M. le Bourdonnare
ought to be required to .omit it in printing his
diseour se. .

M. Bo%) n DONNA la acquiesced—and proceeding with
his oration, stated various objections to the projet ; in
the course of which he was again repeatedly called to
order for the violence of his observations. He con-
cluded by voting, that the projet should be wholly
rejected.
M. CUVIER entered into an elaborate exposition
of the advantages of the new projet, and particularly
objected, to the amendments of M. de Serre.
M. COURVOSIER followed on the same side.
The discussion was then still further adjourned til)
Monday.
