sittings of the 13th and 19th February,

terial omission in that of the latter clay (the leaving out
the charge against V. Dccaxes of luring an accomplice
iii the assassination of the Duke de Berri), and insisted
that the omission should be rectified by inserting what
actually took place.
M. Dc Cagsagnoles, one of the Secretaries, said the
omission hail been thought a:lvisable, as the part of the
proceedings alluded to contained a personal inculpation,
which only tended to excite the passions, and for this
course of proceeding there were precedents. Ile moved
the Order of the Day.

M. Benjamin Constant again insisted on the restora-
tion to the pores verbal of what had been omitted,
otherwise it might he 'opposed that the whole affair was
involved it a dreadful mystery. The proves verb./
ought also to state, that a /ember of the• Chamber de-
clared the accuser a calumniator.
