NJ Benjamin Constant Being member OF the
COMMITTEE, have sacrificed portion of my opinions
France will, am perfectly confident, be happy under
the Prince she IL about 10 chuse; but, at the same
time, Icannot comprehend why, Immediately after a
Report Of such high import comprising questions re.
curing the most serious examination, having, from
the necessity OF circumstances, to perform the mos,
critical tack, that in all probability may ever be
called upon to execute, we should in and the
Gay prepare and present the result OF labours and
proceed to adopt them. IL appears TO me impossible
mat you should at once accept them, notwhst landing
The urgency OF the case and your confidence rely
upon the profound wisdom Of this Chamber, and OF
those who have been called upon weigh and ma
ture This great project but do think necessary
that we should yield to vain fears and impose condi.
iohs upon 'hose VINO have no opportunity OF examin-
ing and forming an opinion TO their eiigiby.-I
would be precipitation worthy Of the of usurpa-
non. therefore move that the Report be printed and
distributed, and then discussed with all the seriousness
and deliberation that such high questions require.
This demand on behalf OF that population to whose
heroism we owe our lives, for it lives that
threatened.
M. De Rambu eau: also am an independent Mem

In England, long discussions between the different
parties were held but they at last terminated in the
Bill OF Rights. Let us follow that example Upon the
question before us, each Of has an opinion area adv
lormed Tor we have had ample time t. reflect upon the
various imperiectons of the Charter therefore vote
Tor proceeding 10 an immediate discussion.
NJ Eu-ebe Salverte: The last speaker has not adj
vanced any substantial argument. We have heard high
~ rla and r
England, but find nothing in them applicable to the
case before u.s. see many things yet TO be done
some Of the provisions not su GENTLY detailed and
others are altogether omitted.
Nj Mauguin-H II were in conte mplation to build
up Tor short time, we might perform work i'm one
day but il is to be hoped that abourrg for
ages; therefore let us act with prudence and wisdom
do not pretend 10 say that we ought TO overlook ex-
stng circumstances; they are pressing, and we owe
mem some regard; but there Is a medium between too
much precipitation and too much delay. IL /. my wish
that the Report be printed and distributed with promp
utnde that the discussion be commenced INN ediaely
alter that il he short, If possible but that there be
discussion. 1t is when you shall have discussed with
maturity that the peo lie will obey readily but if YOU
wish to deliberate with too much haste, they will per-
haps examine whether their obedience ought 10 be cal
culating .-(Volent murmurs)
Several Voices-We do not ar insurrecuons
NJ Mauguin Cunning towards those who interrupted
hm)-fou are mistaken, il, in my phrase, yom find
any thing that strikes YOU as extraoriinary You
speak OF insurrections! They do me mace us-(No
MOI L am not surprzed to find in the people some
which has shaken the capital. Have you ever seen

nave been liked upon the amelioraons of which the
CHATTER s susceptible, and that every thing had been
provided Tor in the proposition of our honorable COL
league, Nj. B-rard This is an l find in The
proposition very remarkable omissions; nothing has
been said in it OF the Jury applicable offences OF the
press.
Number OF Voces-This is a mistake the case is
provided for.
NJ Maueuin-I may be mistaken, but there is auo-
Their very important article. The author of promo
sltlon hsI confined himself to eXpnnge from Art The
po.e TO declare the Roman Catholic Religion is the
ligon of the majority ef the French. Upon this arii-
Gle alone yon do not wish 10 be opposed to your laws
and principles, you will have to discuss long time
The Kom Catholic Religion is not the religion of the
French.-(Murmurs on all sdes.)-No, Gentlemen,
do not speak of the Catholic Religion alone speak of
The Roman religion and this il the religion ef the
majority OF the French.

The French profess Galicansm which, in the eye of
the Ultra montsnes, il real scsm. do not speak on
my own authority but that Of all the Doctors and
the Bulls OF the Popes | demand that the report DE
printed az soon az possible and that the discussion be-
gin Immediately after its distribution.
Nj. Demarcay strongly opposed too rapid delibera-
ton, which wauld in some degree be stihed.
The Presiten'-Two proportions made; one TO
Tx the opening Of the discussion only after the disrbu
ton Of the report and the other open the debate
Immediately after its distribution.
NJ. de Corcees-If we have not time 10 read the re- :
port, what u'e is it 10 print it?-(Murmurs)
Nj. Guizot-It is not my intention to enter into the
discussion which now occupies the Chamber; but it
appears to me that there be serious inconven-
ence in printing the report and distributing IL in the
night. so that The Chamber may open its deliberaiion
tomorrow morning at nine or ten o'clock. To- morrow,
aS TO day. the Chamber will be free the Chamber will
decide az IL thinks proper; and when ii shall have tax
short time to reflect upon the proposed question, the
discussion will then not be prolonged precisely because
the Chamber will have had time 10 reflect before
hand -Generai appreciation Il therefore propose TO
the Chamber 10 order The report TO be printed
and the discussion TO begin at fen in the morning
