NJ Dupin Semir, from the Special Committee, to
whom was referred the proposition Of Nj. Bsrard for
mending the charter, made the following report:
The committee approves OF the proposed suppression
OF the preamble to the Charter. During 10 years
have suffered from repeated violations Of tbs CHARTER
during ID years have suffered from sub,erfuge., by
means Of which ome,imes the tex, and sometimes the
spirit has been perverted This evil has become
sensiby felt that IT was very easy to find and apply
remedy by setting aside several imperfect provisions.
by efcipg terrcs that Afforded ground for false
sructions and by adding wha, ought not to have been
omitted.
The suppression Of Art g. i. no, intended an attack
upon The Catholic Religion. We acknowledge and de-
ella in A,tI ~ Ill,
Religion is the religion OF the majority Of Frenchmen
thus rees,ablishiug the terms that appeared sufficient
to the trainers # the C"ncordn OF tbs year g. and the
law of Germinal year 10
BY Art s in the Charter, Frenchmen have the righ,
OF publishing aud causing to be printed their ornsns
conforming to the law. for rerrcssng abuses of this priv
ilege BY amendment, we have struck out the words
conforming to the laws, ETC., clause that has IL
sell been so strangely abused.
The COMMITTEES has removed from Article II all
possible doubt The Monarch may hencefor.h issue
ordinances. but without having the power to disturb
existing laws, or in any wise di'penss with their
cuton.
TIE age for coming an elec,or will be reduced 10 25
The President of the Chamber Of d pu,iss will be
appointed by the Chamber ITSELF not for its enirs dura-
ton. but for the Session ONLY
Thu Colonies will be governed by particular laws
The word particular sufficiently denotes that these laws
ought be special, and such calculated to pro-
duce progressive state OF improvement.
Art III has been changed. From henceforth il will
he in the Preserce of an assembly Of the lmbers that
The King will observe aud cause to be observ
ed the laws Of the State.
The Chamber of Peers has excited our deepest at
tention. The las, creations evidently made 10
hatred against liberties. We have seen 70 Peers
admitted at This one of the chief grounds
OF impeachment admitted by the Chamber, and which
has never been decided Fcom hence it necessarily
follows that all The creations made by Chalss X houli
be snnuilrd
Wishing to reserve, without compro missing the other
questions, upon which the hes, minds may differ with
tqna' sincerity, he Committee propose TO add the fol-
lowing paragraph :' In order TO remedy The serious
abuses which have been at variance with the principle
upon which the Peerage was estsbi he'd, Art 81 which
declares, that nominations to the PeerAge belong to
the King; that their nber ia unlimited; that he NAV
vary their rank, nominate them for life, roNder then
hereditary. according to hs wiz will be submitted to
Teversion during the Sslsion of 1881"
We may. in the mean time re'y upon the promise Of
King, who il OF honor aad honesty. The Char
ter such as he shall accept il, will become indeed
reality
You will perceiv. that we have acted under the in
fuence Of an ed urgencyan imper ous necessity
May the labours and endeavors OF our Committee oh
tain idvour amongst you; they induce all minds
unite in one common determination, and let VA hope we
may be rewarded by the gratitude end applause of the
whole nation-(General cheefng.)

was opposed by NJ. Rambertcau, Who was for immedi.
a'ely opening the discussion. B-rjanin Constant
marked. that beinS member OF the Committee he had
sacrificed portion OF his opinions II thought that
the immediate d cussion OF the charges propo'sd would
be an act OF precipitation worthy Of The of usur-
patton. IL was the most crc5I Task that they would
probably have to perform in The course of their lives
and should be executed with the seriousness and delhi
Grafton becoming lie high importance. He asked in
behalf oil that population 10 whom the de pu'ies owed
their lives for it their live that were threatened
that the report should he printed, distributed and ma
turely discussed. NJ Mauguin remarked, that the ar
ucle respecting the Roman Catholic Religion would
alone require much deifberation. The Roman Catho-
lie Religion, he averred rot the religion Of France
The majority OF the French professed Ga'licanism,
which in the eyes Of the Ultramon,anes was a real
schim.-He grounded himself the authority OF al
the doctors and the Bulls of the Popcs Finally it
ordered that the report hould be printed that ght and
the discussion be gin the next morning.
