The President reed a letter from M. Mannel, in which
that deputy informed the Chamber, that having been
elected by two colleges of the department of fa Vendee,
he bad d !ermined !Ton choosing in favour of the elec.

M. bouillerie presented, in the name of the
Foerth ilerreae,his report on the election of M. Aleandre,
deputy tot the department of the Loire. A protest from
many electors of those colleges bad been addressed to
the Chanther to point out certain irregularities which.

ree}: Time Fourth Bureau reported that there had been
no Irregularity in the prose's verbal; but it proposed
to refer to the Minister of the Interior the protest of the
electors.
'; M. Foy demanded to speak :—" Gentlemen," said be,
" I have been instructed by a great number of Consti.
fusionist /terrors (marmites on the right) of the arron.
disseniebt of Roanne to present to the Chamber their
protest against the nomination of M. Meandre: it is
upon this ground that I shall proceed to add some ob.
eel-rations to the report which has jest been made. If
the Prefect of the Department, deciding in the Council
of Prefecture, conformably to the law of time sth of Feb..
and giving the motives of his decision, had struck off
some names, there would be a reason for complaint and
appeal on the part of those persons, and the Council of
State would he called upon to decide it ; but this decision
would be injurious to the appellants, because in five
eraes the Prefect 'night again act as he thought proper."
Here the orator entered into the details of the protest in
which • Sieur Lamblion complained of haviog been
e'rieed from time list of electors, because he did not pay
the required amount of taxes, and because be belonged
to another College. This arbitrary act, continued the
(ionnorable Member, was nut unknown to the King's
Covernment ; they Lnew it, both from the protest added
to the. p,roceas verbal of the Electoral College, and front
the poßlic hanctinnaties of the country. Well, then,

thift the Prefeet 'would be dismissed or reprimanded. No
'Melt thing; he has been rewarded ; he has been, pro-
*bred was the' Prefect of a small department— they
have transferred hint to amnin lunch more important ;
trod t robahly the publicity now given to this arbitrary act
will he a rviOtivefor elevating bim still higher. (A laugh.)
M. Foy contiourd, and urged that, but for the irregn.
larity which was committed, M. Mrandre would not
probably have been elected. He founded this opinion
epos the nquierical calculation of the number of electors
enlist from the list : however, added Al. Foy, I do not
oppose :myeelt to the atlntjasion of M. Wendel.. Of

himself clanspicuons from his gestures, continued to

Time President rang lois bell : and silence was restored
a little. Addressing himself to M. Dutton, he said, ac-
cording to the regulations of the Chamber, you cannot
speak without being ex costume; I cannot secure you a
hearing.
At notion quitted the tribune, and roomed to hit place.
N. Benoist.-- I demand to be heard. Asa member of
the commission directed to examine the election of M.
I%lesodre, I intended to support the report, If the question
which his arisen attacked the validity of that election ; but
it is altogether changed ; it Is a call to order which has
boot urged by a part of the Chamber." (Murmurs on the
left : •• That .4 pot the question." from many voices.)
The Presidemo.—" I would remind Al. Benoist, tnat the
call to order cannot be the present question; and that what
the Clamber Ws to discuss, is the validity of the admission
of M. Mrandre."
The orator then entered npori the question ; and he
oh d that the phrase which bad been employed by
the preceding speaker was an insult to the legislature
and to legislation, because it assumed that the laws under
which we live are ao laws.
AL Sebastiani ascended time tribune. The bon.
wither repeated in some measure what N. Foy dad
axial, and concluded by observing. that France would
Irate that the Prefects made the elections, and, perhaps,
even the gendarmes.

The President pat to the vote the validity of the elec.
this : it was adopted.

of the electors to the Minister of .the Interior, was also
adopted.

The Muniteur vt yesterday contains the following
statement :-- On the 21st of January, the anniversary
of the death of Luis XVI., all the vessels in the port
of Marseilles struck their yards, and hoisted their flags
half mast high. One only refused to do this. It was
the Spanish ship called " the Constitution or Death."
The people, offended at such conduct, began to assem-
hie on the quays, and loudly manifested an indignation,
the consequences of which might have been serious bad
' not the Spanish Consul, and the Captain of the port,
gone on hoard the Spanish ship and forced the captain
to hoist the signal of usourning conformable to the order
of the Mayor. It is added that he yielded very unwil-
lingly."
The following is the result of the trial at Orleans :
Bandrillet is unanimously found guilty of participating ,
in the plot for taking the Castle of Simmer. Laiantle,
hy a majority, not guilty of the fact, but guilty of nut-
prison. Duret unanimously guilty of recruiting against
the lawful authority.
The Court condemned Bandeillet and Duret to be
executed ; and Lalande to three years' imprisonment.

It is asserted that the gendarmerie has arrested and

is accused of having wished to enrol various soldiers in
our army under the flag ofthe Constitutional Spaniard,
by showing them a letter from Mina. We may imagine
how such proposals have been received by the faithful
servants of the King. This person is to be tried by the
