FRENCH PAPERS.

( From the Journal des Debuts.)
PARIS, JInX 22.

We have at length arrived at the end of the Session. When the
question as to the taus comes before the Chamber of Peers, it
will be fully occupied. Good or bad, that is the custom, and the
advanced period of the Session does not permit us to hope that for
the flit time it will be altered. The moment is now come fo r
casting a look at what has been done, and what remains tote done.
Candidly, the first part of this examination, if we confined our-
selves to positive rend% might be. short ; the second would be
immense. Let us confine ourselves at present to some general
relleedons.

The Chamber does not always conduct its discussions with
suitable calmness and dignity. We are sometimes astonished at
these little scenes of tumult which arise among men of an age more
than mature and of sound judgment, as if the Chamber, a little old
fur those whom it represents, sought, by the temporary intoxication
[width is caused by noise, to make itself young. That the two sides
of the Chamber should contend together nine or ten years agoovlstra
foreign armies 'bad scarcely quitted France; when one of our
Primes was assassinated ; when the liberty of the press, and per-
sonal liberty, were at once suspended, and the Charter itself seemed
bn sight into question, nothing was more I. The shouts from
the Place Louis the Fifteenth then echoed to the hall of delibera-
tion ; and we could almost bear the hoofs of the horses of the
police while at the tribune. But now-a-days, good God! for
any petition that may be presented, that is an anachronism.—
We cook! wish we had not so much cause to excuse the frequent
inattenthth of the Chamber. 'Mere are speeches so long, and
written; too ! did Is se strange, that those general discussions, in
wide!' every one in his turn mounts the tribuar, should gravely
draw floes his pocket a little formal treatise on the subject, cough.

that? What, ,do you wish that at fifty .nod years, with hair grey
et least, a man established in the world on the footing of a man of
talent and learning should hazard stopping short, and losing in on
Wee a repitationalreidy made? That is too much to expect.
'There would, indeed, be something like tyranny in saying to
Lvov*, " Speak, don't write," when they write well, and would
spoak badly. After all, a nod speech written is better than an
improvisation without method and without conclusion. But would
Knot be wise to open the tribune to men whose age would permit
down to do something? We shall return to this subject. What
is the result of this Session ? Speeches and speeches only. Let us
sat htztoo ready to blame every thing. More, it is true, might
have been done ; little has been done for the present, but much fur
the future, and for the future which is near at hand. Look a little
Miser—the system of the Imperial administration falls in every pan ;
I insagenseats are termed, to fall back larcenies impossible, To
wham do we owe it? To acme few eloquent and courageous Depu-
ties, who at least obtain attention and good-will front the Chamber.
All parties agree that never wasai Budget more scrupulously ex-
plored; never did the Chamber show itself more jealous of its
rights—whether the question as to the rejection of a scandalous re
pellet, incurred or to he incurred, is ut little importance, or as to the
honour of France and its relations with Foreign Powers. Lately,
