Consols have improved'a little this morning. They,
commenced at 72i, went to 72}, but aftewards re-
ceded to 721, and again rose to 721. Much business
has 'been done. The reports are so numerous re-
specting the amount of the Loan, some reducing it
to Nine Millions, that it would be needless to men-
tion them. We believe nothing certain is yet known.

M. Maxim. was again heard in reply.
M. ROGER DE COLLARD was against all the
znents.

, We cannot divest ourselves of the idea we have
ever entertained of the disrespectability attached to '
the scenes of which the Stock Exchange is constantly
the theatre, nor can we reconcile it to our ideas of
propriety, that parties, whether in the secrets of the
State or not, shall be allowed to trifle with the pro-
perty of the nation, by making lists for loans, &c.
before the financial measures in contemplation have
been suffered to transpire. Here we perceive men
knowing, -or supposing to know, that a certain sum
of money will be required for the services of the
State, using every effort to render the bargain as dis-
advantageous to the nation as possible, with the sole
and obvious view to derive a trifling profit in the first
instance, and then suffer things to take their own
course. We make these reflections in consequence of
our knowing positively, that very few real bona 'de

served by Jobbers, and these influence the market by
fictitious bargains. Money is extremely plentiful,
but Capitalists are, of course, withheld from investing
it in the Funds, by the dread of gambling operations.

The Chamber of Deputies proceeded on Tuesday
with the adjourned discussion of the Project oflaw
on the Press.

Article 20th, proposed to enact that no, action

document printed by order of either of the Chambers
M. Lama suggested the addition of the word
opixiont, in order to comprehend in the privilege,
ophions which a Member might not have delivered
'in the House, but which he might wish so make
public through the medium.of the Press.
The Keirsit of the SEALS resisted the amendment,
as opening a door to the greatest abuse of Parliamen-
tary privileges. He moved at the 'same time, that
the words " for defamation or injury" should be
omitted. .

M. MANUEL proposed to modify the amendment
of M. LAME to this effect—" That no prosecution
