it OF one hundred millions, was resumed. The
debate which ensued was turbulent IN the ex-
IRENE, the Chamber exhibiting a scene of up-
roar throughout the day. THIS was oecasion-
ed by the speech Of M. Manuel, who contend,
ed that the war was unjust, and disapproyed Of
by the nation. The ministerial members way
ed warmer as NJ. Manuel proceeded TO deyel-
/ op the policy by which France was governed.
The ministers interrupted him al every sem
I tence, using such language as this Your
assertions are atrocious. -" His language is
directed by his hatred TO the Bourhons.n
M. Manuel proceeded. Foreign war would,
instead of preventing the excuses Of civil
war, only aggravate them. Ii they wished to
save the life of Ferdinand, he implored them
not to renew the circumstances which hurried
to the scatfold those whose fate inspired them
. with regret so intense.
M. Benoit--" So legitimate. y,
M. Pardeseus-" So legitimate -
M de la Bourdoanay e-ss So legitimate y,
A voice ON the nght-This is dreadful; we
cannot endure such fippant language.
M. Manuel.-So legitimate You antici-
pated my intention. 1t was the intervention
OF foreigners, in the Revolution, that led to
the fate of Louis XVI.
M. Lemaisons-You are iustifying regicide
M. torbin d'lssarts--It is the language of
the Convention.
M. Mannel-What caused the fate of the
otnarts! 1t was the protection of France which
placed them in opposition with publick opn-
ION, and prevented their looking to the En-
Silsh nation for support. .Hust sag, that The

Scarcely bad this uncomfortable sentence
been uttered, than general movement of in
dlsnation was manifested by the entire right
side, and the spectators in the tribunes. Even
some members of the left evinced their disap-
probation. The members of the right stimuli
taneously rose and demanded that M. Manuel
should be called to order.
M. the fresldent-lt Is impossible to toler-
ate such language. lie has said, in allusion
to an event which all France deplores, that
the nation was bound to act with redoubled
energy
M. Dsparacay-M. Foy, and NJ. Girardin,
(successively)-S He did not say so.'
NJ. Forbin d'Issarts-You do well to deny it

M. Hyde de Neuville-It was clearly a sen.

NJ. Forbin d,Issarts-t was 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 a man could speak
ms sentiments, and be the apoloest of regi-
eide.
M. Hyde de Melville rushed to the tri-
bune, (M. Manuel stepped on one siie.) He
commenced amidst general tumult to vindicate
france and the army. The President called
upon hun to resume his seat, as his occupation
OF the tribune was Irregular.
M. Hyde de Melville declared. that under
such circumstances the observance of forms
was an absurdity.
During this contention, M. Manuel stood
with crossed arms, significantly surveying the
right side.
NJ. Croy de Solire-' His unseemly posture
adds to the horror of his language
M. Manuel was assaiIed win indignant re-
proaches from the members on the right; some
of the members On the left recriminated, and
the Chamber was scene of unexampled up
roar. The Presidents efforts to restore order
were Intellectual; he put on his hat, and de-
clared the sitting suspended.
NJ. Manuel repeatedly put up his eye-glass,
and directed his looks to the right side. The
Deputies withdrew to the Bureaus, and the
Ministers, Peers of France, remained in the
hall.
M. de Chateaubriand entered his carriage.
1t was presumed that he proceeded TO the
fhuilleries, to inform the King Of what had
passed in the Chamber.
At four o'clock the sitting was resumed
Agitation was, however, visible on the coun-
tenances Of many Of the Deputies. 1t was
announced that the members had decided in
the Bureaux, that a commission should be
nominated forthwith, to devise some measure
to repress such scandalous deviation on the
part of any member of the assembly. The
commission was accordingly appointed.
So great was the tumult in the afternoon
session, that the President dissolved the sit
ting, finding it impossible to maintain order.
Sitting Of Thursday, Feb. 81.

were worried as follows -

and in the seat of its deliberations, by expell-
ing from its bosom, M. Manuel, Deputy of
