CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES. Ess.
After more discussion, the Project of Leo for
ising the prices of gunpowder, was adopted. The
Chamber them formed itself into a Secret Committee.
M. LArirrs ascended the Tribune and said—
" Gentlemen, I request that the Chamber may sere
an Address to the King, stating, thst we viandsr the
cootineance of the lAD of Elections in its preheat
tenor, and Its punctual esecutioo, as the chief gua-
rantee of public peace, and the most solid basis of
constitotiooal Monarchy; and that in consequence
the Chamber humbly prays the King to protect this
law from any innovstioe whatever. I solicit leave
to develop my proposition on Wednesday neat (yes.
Ueda))-
" It was my 'gaieties (continued M. LATITTE)
to have made as addition to this proposition; bet
for the present, I confine myself to what I have sub-
mitted."
(It is said, that the object of this intended addition
to the proposition was, so pray his Majesty to %dale
the convocation of the Electoral Colleges, onoch
departments whose represeatation was not complete,
whitest delay.)
The request relative to the development of the
Project on Wednesday, being cooferasable to the re.
gelation% of the Chamber, the Paulin:vs proclaimed
its adoption.

. The discussions in Paris on the proposition of the
Ildargois de BARTHELEMY, have become sn warm, and
the shoal which it has gives to politic opinion all
over France. i•rnve how mach the People are alive
to the gireeervainin of the liberty they have acquired.
The lame earned by the motion to interfere with the
Lew of Elections, berm with such fierceness, that
M. SARTHELVIT Is frightened at his own rashness,
or rather at his own weakness. io basin yielded to
solicitations against his own better judgment. Ile
had actually resolved ever.night not to make the
motion—but when be came to the Chamber of Peers
is the morning, he was SO serildnded, pressed,
scolded, urged. sad csjoled, that frost false shame,
or vain pride, be who had ever held a pacific course,
was prevailed to throw oat open all France a new
provocation to war.
" What!" says M. Emanxit, " are those Ultras
to pet every day in question oar liberties, our re-
pow. nor prospects to We have bet one na-
tional institution, sad they attempt to tear it from
es—conlidence revives, and they desire to stifle it—
industry re-commences, they wish to arrest It—
credit re-apposes, and they strive to shake it. Sta-
bility is what France wants, and they overthrow that
which is scarcely established. To the desire of re.
pose they answer by cries of discord. In lee, Frame
only waists prate' end they declare war.
'sThe Law of Elections casemates the new pro-
perties which are recognised by the Charter. To at-
tack this Law, is to attack all the new interests,
overthrow ail tortoises, compromise all rights, end
destroy all patentees. Is It not maculated to create
a breech between the two Chambers, thus, as it were,
to drag the new Deputies to the Her of the Hoes, of
Peers? For is not an attack on the Lew of Elec-
tions an insult on each of the Deputies of the two
last fifths? What would the House of Peers think
if, in that of the Deputies, a motion were to be made
tor an Address to the King, praying his Majesty to
Introduce a law to organise the Peerage? !Pettey

in fine, it should resell from this 'equity, that
the Noble Piers are paid oat of the produce of the
Uses, aid that they owe the pensions they enjoy to

wish le despoil of their rights!"
A very interesting phenomenon was seen is the
Hammes last night (Feb. 20), about half-past ten
o'clock, ever this city. It was a long carved stream
el blue light, oboist five times the size of a niinbow,
mod appeared to the naked eye about 12 iodine wide,
which extended from N. to W. At first it es hlblted,,
let sear five minutes, quite a steady light, and then'
diminished from W. to E. It again brightened from
the centre, and totally disappeared in a few minutes
after. During its continuance, the stars seemed to
have gained addhional lustre, and the sky, which
was ell retied uncommonly clear, pretested a most
beautiful spectacle. Whether from its infinitive or
net, we cannot say, but the clouds towards th s north
eshibiled an appearance like the near apprti3ch of
day light,--(Lir)rrr)ek Chretricle )
