CHAMBER OF PEERS, Ocr. SS.
The discussion upon the law presented in the Sit.
tins of yesterday, was entered upon.
The first Speaker was for the law ; respect for the
Charter was a duty, but he who should carry this
respect so far as to place its existence in danger,
would be about as wise as the man who, to save the
inhabitauts of a house on fire, should decline break-
ing open the doors for fele of attacking the principle
of inviolability. The Charter served es a shield to
conspirators, and betrayed the Government it ought
'to have protected. Let us learn by experience that
a regime for health does not suit a sick man, and
that to navigate in a tempest we must have other ma.
nesevres then in a calm sea.
A second Speaker (probably Lout:Freya) denied
that the taw had either the character of justice or
'necessity. It was not necessary, for iri the present
state of things. the responsibility of Minister's being
yet only in principle, and unable to give rise to any
accusations against them, the Minister of Police
might order, with impunity, all the arrests necessary
for the safety of the King cud the Slate. It was ow.
jest, because it converts simple suspicion into acms•
tuition, and makes, of that accusation, a motive for
arrest and indefinite imprisonment; because it takes
from the accused the most sacred, the most inviola-
ble right, that of being tried by their natural
Judges, by Judges irremovable ; in fine, because it
wends to all the tispartments, without distinction,
measures, which, supposing them to be necessary,
cannot be so every where, and will be dangerous
every where when they • are not issdispensible. The
Speaker called the attention of the Chamber to the
fatal effects to the State and to individuals, of a law
which he compared in every thing to that upon sus.
peeled persons, from which he could not but expect
the stole result. The examples so often quoted of
Rome and England appeared to be against those who
appealed to them. He did not find in the sespenlion
of the Habeas Corpus, or in the Caveant Consoles,
any thing analogous in point of effect to the projeced
law. Determined to vote against the law, he de.._
mended that at least if tho Chamber persisted in de-
siring it, that it should be seat to a Committee to
modify it.

CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES. Oar. 26.
The Count de Vatmasc, from the King, pre
tented the project of a law for the re.establishment of
departmental companies. This -law, he observed,
would be advantageous, because whilst it would leave
a sufficient armed force at the disposition of the Pre-
fects, and thus strengthened the Executive, the es.
pence of maintaining it would not be considerable.
These companies were instituted at a time when the
French armies inundated all Europe, and were very
serviceable in supporting internal tranquillity. Stich
a support to the Magistrate was still more necessary
,at this time, while that tranquillity was threatened
4)y the intrigues of the ill-disposed, and while the
/army was not re-organized. It was not for the par.
pose of presenting an imposing forte that the depart.
mental companies were useful, but also to convey
the urgent orders of the Executive : it was, perhapeo
to them that the last Government owed itopctivity,
. .

which wasso remarkable In the internal edministre•
tion. The property of the Communes formerly sap•
plied the expence of this Institution, bat as that re,
source was not now disposable, it would be necessary
to resort to the departmental fonds—tbe yearly ea..
pence was estimated at 1,200,000 francs, the outfit
at 600,000.
The Project is as follows :—.

ok*.
Art Lo. 1. There shall be formed in each department a company
of infantry, which shall boar the name of Departmental Coui-
slY
ri.
4. Their destination is to guard the Hotels de Prefecture, ad
Archives of the Departments, Platers of Detention, Depots du
Mendicite, and Prisons The obligations and superintemiance
of the gethl'arnierie will reeenin as before.
S. The force, manner of recruit n.. &c. to be initiated by
the King; bat the companies of the first class must not exceed
160 men, Omcers included.
The law was referred to the Committee.
At one o'clock the Deputies met in a general end
Secret Committee, in which they were occupied with
the discussion of the proposition made by I. Moine
de Biran, tenting to modify 'the regulation. At four
the Sitting became public.
The Proces-verbal of the Sitting of the 23d was
read.
M. CASTEL. BAJAc said, there was shown during
that Sitting a general movement, which gave the
formal lie to the rumour which some take pleasure
in spreading, respecting the pretended troubles in
the South. There is no mention of it in the'Pro.
ces-verbal. I demand that it be rectified in this
point.
Several voices seconded it.
The PRESIDENT .explained, that the regulation
, pronounced against the Members who wander from
the discuseion, two punishments—a call to order,
and a call to order with censure and insertion in the
Proces-serheLwben the case is most weighty. VW-
Chamber having ordained a simple ceilto &Merl_ the
insertion could not take place.
M. CASTILL-BAJAC withdrew his motion, butit
was renewed by another Member.
M-- said it was a principle that the Proces-eer-
hal should contain oil that passed at the Sitting. Ha
did not wish the name of the Member who had its.
curred the call to order to be stated, bet he wished
the fact to be recorded.
• The proposition was pet to the vistr, and rejected
by a great majority.
The Committee, en the articles of M. Maine
Biran, the object of which was, that the Members
might make short observations in their places, and
to limit the written discourse pronounced in the Tri.
bane during any discussion to two, one for, the
other against the project of the lawl—rejected thine
on these grounds :
That the right of expressing' his thoughts, either
ex improvito, or in written discourse, was inherent
in every Member.
That in the infancy of their political education •
to adopt such a measure would deprive them of much
information, and leave the Tribunes to too small a•
, number of orators.

It appears certain, that all the points of discussion
relating to the peace have been-at length terminated
