From The Courier Francois of Saturday GOAL
The question upon the Pcerage made some pro-
grcss yesterday. \ meeting was held at tho house
of the President of the Council ut which several
Peers attended. The proict OF the Government
was taken into consideration. If the reports
thee subject TO he accredited, the hereditary
right to sit in the Chamber of Peers is given up:
bat the Government PERSISTS in requiring for the
Crown the prcrogatvc of direct election and
limited augmentation of the number of Pccrs.-

matter of difficulty is how TO obtain majority
IN the Chamber Of Deputies, many of the
Members having bound themselves by solemn and

subject is to be postponed 10 indefinite period.
The haste with which the Government had resoIv-
ed to present Bill the Pcerage, of which
no opinion had been formed at the drawing
up OF The Speech from the Throne, leads us to think
that something very extraordinary is about 20 be
brought forward"
