The Duke Of Wellington (says the 'News)
is about to proceed on important mission to
the Emperor Alexander, at St. Petersburgh. We
think Ministers are right in directing their at
tention towards this " Semi- barbarian" as he has
lately been not inaptly termed, for they may re-
ly on it, he is the lever which is moving the
great European machine at the present moment.
In the French Chamber of Deputies on the
Goth of February, the discussion on the project
of law relative TO an extraordinary credit of
one hundred millions, was resumed. The debate
which ensued was turbulent in the extreme, the
Chamber exhibiting a scene of uproar through
out the day. This was occasionally the speech
of Nj. Manuel, who commended that the war was
unjust, and disapproved of by the nation. The
ministerial members waXed warmer and warm
er as NJ. Manuel proceeded to develope the pol
icy by which France was governed.
The ministers interrupted him at every sem
tence, using such language as this" Your asr
sertions are atrocious"-His language is direct
ed by his hartred TO tho Bourbons."
NJ Manuel pToceeded-Foreign war would,
instead of preventing the excuses of civil war,
only aggravate them. If they wished to save
the life of Ferdinand, he implored them not to
renew the circumstances which hurried TO the
scafold those whose fate inspired them with re-
greet so intense.
Dr. Benoit-" So legitimate"
NJ Pardessus--" So legitirnate!"
NJ. de la Beur9onnaye-" SO legitimate -
A voice on the right-This is dreadful we
cannot endure such dippant language.
M. Manuel-So legitimate You anticipated
my intention. 1t was the Intervention Of for
eigners, in the Revolution, that led to the fate
of Louis XVI.
NJ. Lemaisons-You are Justifyng regicide
Convention.
NJ ManueI-What caused The fate OF the
Stuarts 1t was the protection of France which
placed them in opposition with public opinion
and prevented their look to the English nation
for support. Must say that the moment IN ,ctich
the dangers Of The Royal Family Of France had

Scarcely had this inconceiyable sentence been
uttered than general movement of Indignation
was manifested by the entire right side, and the
spectators in the tribunes Even some men,
bcrs of the left evnced their disapprobation.
The members of the right simultaneously rose
and demanded that NJ. Manuel should be called
to order.
NJ the President.-Itis impossible to tolerate
such language. He has said, in ausion to an
event whitehall France deplores, that the nation
was bound to act with redouhled energy.
M. Demarcay-M. Foy and vi. Girardin,
(successively)- - He did not say so.'
M. Forbin d'Issarts.-You do well to deny it
You blush to avUw.
NJ Hyde de Neuvile.-It was clearly a SEN
tence OF horrible import
NJ. Eobin d'Issarts.-It was the wish for the
death OF Ferdinand.
The members of the right side quilted their
places, declaring that they would not again sit
in chamber where such man could speak his
sentiments and be the apoogist of regicide.
M. HYDE de Melville rushed TO the Tribune.
IN. Manuel stepped on one side.) lie common
ced amidst general tumult to vindicate France
and the army. The President called upon him
TO resume his seat, his occupation of the fri
bune was Irregular.
M. Hyde dc Neuville declared, that under
such circumstances the observance Of forms was
an absurdity.
During this contention, NJ. Manuel stood with
crossed arms, significantly surveying the right
side.
M. Croy De Solire.-s His unseemly posture
adds TO the horror of his language
M. Manuel was aSailed with indignant re-
proaches from the members on the right; some
of the members on the left recriminated, and
the Chamber was scene Of unex anpled uproar.
The Presidents efforts to restore order we're in
efectual, he PIT on his hat and declared the Sit
ting suspended.
M. Manuel repeatedly put up his eye-rlass
and directed his looks TO the right side The
Deputies Withdrew to the Bnreaux, and tie Min
