The following paragraph appears in the'Mon-

GO This evening" after the sitting of the Cham
her of Deputies, the Duke de Broglie and Gene
raj Sebastian deliverered their designations in
TO the hands of the King"
Bv referring to the report of yesterdays pro
ceedings in the Chamber of Deputies you will
find that the proiet of law authorlslng the APP
propriation of 25 600, 000f 600 sterhng)
for navment of all claims to indemnity preferred
bv the Government of the United States in
France was rejected by a majority OF l76 against
1919 making an absolute majority OF eight
against the projet.
Great exertons had been made by Ministers
10 induce the Chamber to vote Tor the proJet
and on no previous occasion perhaps did the
Duke de Broglie use his powers of oratory to so
great an extent as on this. But those who had
made no their minds that grant OF l2OUO,OU
would have been very ample compensation
of the real amount of loss sustained, being told
that they must vote for the 25,OO0,OUOt proposed
inasmuch as convention with the United States
STIMULATING for that sum had been signed, and
must either be fully executed or wholly rejected,
preferred the rejection, with all the consequences
Il threatened, to the chance Of vote by which
thew were required to provide for what appear
ed to them an unnecessary surplus.
In the evening Cabinet Council was held at
the Tuileries TO consult on the steps that were
to be taken 1t was attended by all the Minis
tiers. excepting the two who had given in their
RESERVATIONS. The substance ofwhat has trans
piredis thatit was determined that every means
should be used to induce the Duke de Broglle to
recall his act ofresgnation before the choice OF
the successor should be thought Of am ASST
red, however, that up to the present moment
the Duke has not consented to remain IN office.
If he persists until tomorrow, his successor Will
be chosen without loss of time Who the new
Minister of Foreign Affairs may be 1t is yet I'M
possible to form conjecture, as the occurrence
which will probably call for his appointment
was quite unexpected, and no preparation had
therefore been thought of to meet the consequent
ces oft Some persons speak of Count de ST.
Aulare now Ambassador at Vienna. He is IA
ther-in-law to the Duke de CaZeS, and already
il is believed by the same persons that an early
consequence of such nomination will be the
amendment Of the latter to the London EmbaS-
sy, which he held as sort OF honorable exile,
when the Ultra-Royalists in 1920 obtained his
removal from the Councils of Louis XVIII,
over which he had for some time exercised, as all
the world knows, very considerable influence.
The Duke de Broglie's resignation may lead
10 that of his friend, M. GuiZot Minister ofPub-
lie Instruction, but it will probably not affect
any of the other members of the Cabinet As
to NJ Sebastiani whether he had chosen to re-
sign or to retain his title of Minister of State
without attributions, it was a matter of no con-
sequence whatever to anybody. People only
are surprised, that being yet possessed OF suftl-
cient powers of reflection to have deemed his
retirement necessary after the formal dlSappr0-
val pronounced by the Chamber of treaty to
which he was party, he had not long before
felt the superiority of his presence IN the Cabi-
net
Chamber of Deputies-SiHing Of April 1st.
NJ Dupin, President, in the chair.
r. The debate was resumed on the projet OF a law
relative to the treaty between France and the
United States
M. A. Delamartine, after some general re-
Elections upon the imperial diplomacy, which,
he said, in default of reasons, made use of gen
darmes, and tore the Pope from the altar OF St.
Peters and the Spanish Monarchs from their
royal residence at Madrid entered upon tue
question before the Chamber, and said the only
question to be decided was, if We were, or not
debtors of the United States. In his opinion,
the debt was established; for during II years II
has been under examination and discussion,
and the only man whom France ana the ". ..
could choose as arbiter, General Lafayette, mas
declared that he most consclentlously peneVes
that 80, OOO, OOOf at least are due to the Ameri-
cans. (Exclamations of various kinds The
hon. deputy concluded by saying that.the reJec-
ton ofthe projet might produce hostile DISPOSE
ton on the part of the Americans, and lead to
the most disastrous results for our commerce.
NJ Dupont made some observations with re-
card to the questions of public right involved in
the projet of law, which he voted against.
M. Duchatel expressed an opinion similar to
that already put forward by some of the proceed
ing speakers-that the advantage reaped by the
Americans by the carrying trade during the war
between England and France could, under nc
noint of view, be considered as compensation
for the injury done to others, by the DEGREES o.
Milan and Berlin. The debt, he added, was the
resnlt of iniustice-an injustice not attempted to
he denied-an injustice which was not the effect
of war but which was committed in time o.
peace. for there was no war between France
and the United States. On the other hand the
advantages said to be gained by the Americans
were not of our creating, but were the results o
the good fortune or favorable chance which
crowned enterprises where they risked all 10
