General Donnadieu: You Insult the
Chamber and France; you provoke Il civil
war; you make this tribune the arena of re-
volution. The nation saw the return Of lie
Bourhons with enthusiasm"
| In the debate on the 3lst Jan. on the clause
OF the bill regulating the censorship Or line
press which relates to bels on members OF
religion,
General Foy proposed, as an amendment,
To substitute the words functionarv of the re-
| ilsIon,' for the words minister of the religion
and OF imprisonment from one month TO Il
year, and fine of from 500 to 1000 francs,'
for Imprisonment of from 10 days sc. Be-
fore devclope my amendment said the
General, shall say something 10 the last
| speaker, because IT is nearly The hundredtil
time that he has repeated his declaration at
this tribune. The members of the opposi-
ton have always been faithful 10 their oaths--
Laughter on the right)-to the chief of all
oaihs, that of fidelity to their country. Never
nave they separated themselves from the soul
OF Their country from the mass of the nation.--

General Foy.--The immense mass of pub

regime; but the legal regime ceased on the
day when the king, crossing the frunt,rrs.

object OF my amendment: That which i, en-

claim to protection are tile pastors who per,
form the functions of the church. The phrase
Ministers Of Religion" is rather too wayne.
