ration, by which they solemnly announced
their wish that france should be great
happy, and free, what was the result of
these pompous assurances ? At the same
moment they violated the neutrality of
Switzerland. When afterwards upon the
French soil, to cool the patriotism, and to
disorganize the interior, they continued to
promise France an existence and liberal
laws; the effects speedily Showed what
coincidence was to be reD0sed i'm such en- :
Sagements. Enlightened by experience,

Iofthe proposition which I have to cub
INIT to the Chsmper is The necessity Of
Regulating by law the ,nomentary sus-
pension OF the Constitution In some dis
|tricts, while the public safety and the
maintenance Of tranquility :impefiously
require il. Theirs IS absolute need Of
some regulation in. the employment of
these extraordinary measures which have
hitherto been entirely executed in an ar
atrary manner. [ demand to be heard
10 morrow, ID order to deyslope this pro-
position, when I shall cpnGne myself
strictly to the principles which are the
basis Of eur constitutional system.
The proposition was supported strenu-
|aus.y.
The President took the sense Of the
|Chamber, which determined, thar the
|orator should be heard tomorrow.

,mofion for the appointment ola commit

fer this purpose. It Was agreed that
81. Dapin should be heard Oh Monday
next, un the subject Of this plan OF a law.
Same discussion then arose on a pre-
position that members should be allowed
to support taer set propositions in writ
ten speeches, not by extempure speaking.
The decision Of this question was post
puIted, IS
