in the opinion entertained by many Of
nv fellow citizens as to an hereditary
peerage. Hear, hear.) | have al
ways conceived it to be necessary that
the Legislative body should be divided
into two Chambers differently constituted,
but have never thought it of any utility
to create hereditary Legislators, who in
some cases become judges. l have al
ways thought that the Introduction of A
ristocIacy into public institutions, was
mixing them with bad ingredient. 1t
is, therefore, with great pleasure that
find you occupied with a project that
meets the sentiments 1 have professed
throughout my life, and which now on
ly repeat. M y conscience forces me to
make this repetition, and declare that |
hope shortly to see the hereditary Peer
age suppressed. My fellow citizens will
do me the justice to acknowledge that if
have always been the upholder of liber-
ty, j have at the same time been the sup
porter of public order. prolonged ap-
plause.)
NJ. Berrycr-The Chamber is at pres
ent occupied with two questions, the pro-
position of NJ Berard, and the amend
ment against the hereditary quality Of
the Peerage. AS far as the amendment
is concerned, | oppose the plan already
adopted by you. You voted the previ-
Gus question, when a motion was made,
for modification of the charter, which
was not comprised in the proposition of
Nj. Berard ] therefore move the pre-
vious question upon this.
/ M. Peton voted for the amendment
and urged the necessity of putting an end
to the agitation which prevailed in Paris.
n NJ. A. Labourdonnaye-You insult
/ Paris:
II M. Peton-I know Paris and its wish
es better than you for these six years.
contend for legality and you. If my ef-
forts had been crowned with success,
Charles X. would still be upon the throne.
4 M. Sebastiana seconded the Amend
/ ment.
\ M. Bcrryer opposed it again and con-
tended, that to the King alone belonged
the right of creating or depo-ing Peers.
/ Nj. Berard The gentleman who
/ spoke last, seems to be mistaken upon
the atmosphere of the Chamber. The
throne has been overthrown. Legitima-
cy no longer exists. As to hereditary
J peerage, we are not sufficiently prepared
for the discussion | propose to replace
the article and the amendpent by the
following:
/ The President read the following pro-
! positions by Nj. Brigode: "The magis-
tracy shall be submitted to a new organi-
| zaton." He also read the following pro-
position Of NJ. Manguin: "The judges
shall cease their functions in six months,
if before that time they do not receive
new investiture."
/ NJ. Dupin opposed the Amendent.
L nj. Eusebe Salverte sub-amended the
proposition in these terms "The Judges
appointed under Charles X. shall be SUBJ
mitted to a new organization.
/ Nj. Nillemain: "This question is grave
and immense, ! cannot look at it without
| shuddcring. Let us beware ofproclaim-
ing that you have destroyed the great
| principle of Judges being appointed for
lie.-From all sidcs-Never never!
i nj. Manguin. DO not forget, Gentle
men, that you are the offspring ofthe Rev
/ oiu'ioli. II 10 tiIt iNCNolutlOu you COuSc-
crate. A fortnight ago you were under
the empire of legitiI 'cy and of right di-
vine. Do not forget that to day you are
under the influence Of national sovereign
ty. Doyou think then that bodies formed
under the empire Of right divine and Of
the congregation, will support you and
/ will offer no resistance? The reform
must descend to the lowest degrees. To
establish it in a solid manner, cause the
resistance to cease every where, but you
say the Judges ate appointed for life.
The appointment for lie was attached to
the Charter of Louis XVIII. This
Charter is destroyed.
: The Amendments of NJ. Brigode and
!, Nj. Manguin, were rejected.
Nj. Dupln, senior, proposed the follow
ing additional article e:-"France resumes
her colors. In future no other cockadc
: shall be worn but the tri-colored one.
Adopted with acclamations
N The Members of the Chamber then
proceeded on foot to the Palais ROYAL, to
| carry up the message to the Lieutenant
4 General of the Kingdom. Adjourned.
