| SWAI %cOFHHTy Ne
We received this morning, the London
Journals of Monday, and Paris papers to
| the 10th inst
Some interesting discussion has taken
| place in the Chamber Of Deputies upon a
| few points in the constitution of that body,
| reserved by the charter for revision. In
| stead OF one fifth Of tho members being re-
| newed every year, they are all to hold
/ their seats for the duration of the cham
Der, which is fixed at FIVE years, unless
previously dissolved by the king. 1t is al
| 50 proposed to confirm the resolution, re
curing that man under forty years of
age, shall not be eligible, and to increase
the number of deputies from 900 to about
4OO, as proportion more suitable to the
population of the kingdom.
A petition from some inhabitants of the
department of the mouths of the Rhone,
praying that Marshal Massena should be
brought to trial for his reasonable con-
duct on the landing of Bonaparte from
Elba, has also produced animated CONVEX
sation in the chamber. 1t was urged in
vain against the petition, that the Marshal
was protected by the law of amnesty. The
chamber availing itself of a distinction
drawn between his civil and military capa-
city, ordered the petition to be referred to
the minister at war.
Of this man, says the London Courier,
we repeat, that it is impossible for any one
to have worse opinion than we have 4;
but law solemnIy passed. law passed
under such circumstances and after such
events--a law that was to shut the door
upon the past, ought not to be strained or
violated, even to punish him, bloodstained
and criminal as he is. 1t will revive the
system OF deDunciaton--and the law Of
amnesty so far from being final measure
as to the past, and tranquil measure as
to the future, will be nothing more than
one OF those revolutionary DEGREES which
scarcely outlived the week in which they
were passed, and which readered the sue
cessive legislative assemblies Of France. a
mockery to the rest of Europe, and curse
to the French nation.
A paper of Friday last says, that the
chamber of accusation, by which the in
dictment against them is to be drawn up.
has nearly finished its labors. Nj. Dupin is
to be their advocate.
II is said in the journals, that the minis
ter has abandoned the project Of an income
tax in Ireland. If he has, hs has acted
wisely.
