millions of francs.

The PRESIDENT consulted the Chamber on what
day this Project of Law should be taken into consi-
deration.—(Many voices to the right, " To-morrow").

to-morrow in their respective bureaux.—(From all

to call the attention of the Chamber to one of the
laws of regulation, which allowed the President to
name the sittings of the Chamber, and to open or
close them when he pleased. In consequence of the

tion of indemnity to those who had suffered in the
Revolution, but to call the attention to a Royal Or-
dinance, which was in opposition to the LaW of 1814,
and which rendered the situation of the emigrants
still worse. He spoke strongly in favour of the emi-
grants, and moved that the Petition should be re-
ferred to the Minister of Finances, in order to ascer-
