CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.
St I"FING OF FRIDAY.
Tl'.c discussion on the Amendment of M. Boin (see
ST.I a 1/4:1 ye.terday) was resumed.
ZI.DELACsay seized with pleasure on this Amend-
• as a plank of safety in the midst of shipwreck.
lie replied to the principal objection made to it—
namely, that it would increase the number of the
Members in the Clamber—and endeavoured to shew
that such an inc:c..se was not unconstitutional.
M. DE G:ital:DlN (of the left side) must oppose the
Amend:rant. it was true that it preserved the mode
of direct Election, but it attacked and destroyed the
equality of suffrage. By establishing principal and
subordinate Electors, it established, if he might use
the espressien, principal and subordinate Deputies,
it divided the Chamber into two different elements,
• by that alone destroyed its equality. The
Amendment was nothing else than the first Pro-
:ect of the 15th of February mutilated. Would
the Chamber wish to know the causes which
led to the production of this Amendment ? He
• reveal them— ( Great attention).—The Pro-
ject now under discussion was never that of Minis-
ters. They bad adopted it, because they could
not command a majority for the one of their
mvn devising; and even for this child of their
:141option, they could not obtain a majority of
more than five. Alarmed at the weakness of this
majority; anxious to get out of their embarrassing
psi Lion, they had endeavoured so to modify the
measure as to tnakeit more generally palateable, and
were, in fact, the authors of this Amendment, which
was only put into the hands of M. Boni, in order ro
see how it took before they committed themselves
openly in its support. It was their last resource, for
Ministers could never carry their audacity so far as
to think-of regarding that as a law, which had been
at once scouted by the whole French Nation—which
they rejected with horror, because it had already
received a leptisas of Mood!—(Cries of Order, order!
This is aborminahl e!).—ln one word, the proposed law
is dead ; it will never prevail!
Since the moment," continued M. GIRARDIN, " is
now arrived for saying everything, since a Minister,
has given the example of negocifting in the Tribune,
1 imitate his example, and say to those of my col-
leagues who like myself arc immoveable from the
basis of the Constitution—
" Deputies of the Minority ! Preserve your fine
osition, your noble attitude ; the Ministry, be per-
suaded, will not hesitate to give up the double vote,
Deputies of the Minority ! •Be firm ; preserve your
attitude for some months longer, and you will
eutain the guarantees wanted. The first will be
the repeal of the law on individual liberty—
a which has no longer any object, since
it has been solemnly established, for the honour of
France, that the infamous Lourel had no accom-
plices—{Hear, hear). The second guarantee will he
the suppression of the Censorship, which is exercised
in so arbitrary a manner as to be revolting -even to
those by whose consent it was conceded temporarily
to Government." •
M. Born disclaimed any connivance with Ministers.
The KEEFER of the SEALS equally disclaimed any
connection with M. Boin.
After a good deal of further discussiom.distinguish7
ed by great confusion and intemperance, M. BOIN'S
Amendment was ultimately put to the vote and car-
tied by a majority of 121.—The votes were—Fur it,
186—Against it, 6.5.
Five per cents. Friday, 74f. 6.5 e.

conduct throughout, from the moment of his arrest
to that of his execution, reminds us of the expression
of an ancient on seeing a criminal display heroic
constancy in the midst of torture—" Qh, what vir-
tues you make me hater Louvel.oeidter denied his
crime w-r- gloried in it; it was the result of 'a con.
v•iction on his wayward mind, that he was serving
his country—this was his 'first and last idea ; and,
had he not been known to be guilty, his conduct in
prison might have been mistaken for the calm tran-
quillity of innocence. The morning before his trial
the gendarme,. who slept in his room, asked him how
he had slept ? be replied, he had made but one nap

a most horrid night. " Indeed ! be assured all is
not right within ; descend into your conscience, and
examine whether you have not .done some bad
action !" This anecdote, which may be relied.on, is
either sublime or ridiculous, according ask is vie ved.

blush. They a6ked the most ridiculous questionsi
and attached a most ridiculous irnportance to the
pieces or paper he had in his pocket, for purposes
which none but Peers of France would have Inquired
To state the whole of the ridicule of the trial,
would be only to re state all the questions pot to
him. The Marquis of LA4.I,Lt TOLLEN6AL alone is to
be excepted from this censure. He was condemned:
and yesterday the crowd assembled in immense num-
bers as early as eleven o'clock : all the windows'
where a sight of the guillotine could be had were let
at high rates, even in the houses on the opposite side
of the river, and the roofs and chimnies were covered
with spectators. At ten minutes before six the cul-
prit arrived in a cart, with a Priest and two .execu-
tioners: at the foot of the scaffold a well dressed
person and the Priest conversed with him during
five minutes; his air was calm and serene, and he
might hove been taken for a spectator: there was
nothing in his look that displayed ferocity of .cha-
racter—on the contrary, he appeared to be a man
given to contemplation. At length he ascended the
scaffold, and in a few seconds was no more.

" The reason why the execution was postponed
from four (the usual hour) to six o'clock was, that
such an. immense portion of the population being on
foot, it was feared they might go to the Chamber of
Deputies after the execution ; whereas, by delaying
the execution till the Chamber had risen, the people
were pttVented doing so: but this measure had
only a partial success, as the same scenes and tumult
took Flace last night as before."
