PARIS, May l9th.-There is little news of in
teresf.
The religious reaction in France seems to have
reached the Chamber OF Deputies, for it has voted
an increase OF salary to the Archbishop of Paris
well the Protestant pastors, the latter in despite
Of the opposition OF the Minister Of Justice and the
Reporter of the Budget Commttee.i
M. GuIzoT took the trouble TO contradict some
absurd calumnies in the Chamber OF Peers relative
the alleged detention OF French sailors and press
ing them into the British service
In the Chamber OF Deputies on Thursday after
noon, the budget for foreign affairs came under dis
cnssion. NJ Bilault, the ally of M. Theirs, in a
long speech, gave the House to understand that he
had at no period been very ardent partisan of the
English alliance, because England had in every
place opposed French interests.
CHAMBER OF PEERs-SrrTiNG OF MAY 1S.--The
PRESIDENT took the chair at o clock.
The chamber proceeded to the order of the day.
which was the adjourned discussion on the supple
lnentary and extraordinary credit Of the estimates
of 1871 and 1872.
The Marquis de Bossy repeated his arguments OF
The preceding day against the right Of search He
that the case OF the Marabout was by
no means the only one OF which France had TO COM
plain, and expressed his opinion that when the
Minister of Marine had received all the documents
referring to the vessels searched, il would be found
that many cases of ill-usage would be discovered
10 have occurred. He wished to ask the Min
.ter of Foreign Affairs il he had received any fresh
Intelligence on this head, and whether the French
sailors who had been unnationased and made TO
in foreign vessels had yet received permission
10 return to their country!
The MINISTER FOREIGN AFFAIRS Qrom his
p,ace.) There has not been u single treated as
The noble peer asserts.
The Maruis de Borssy-The right Of rearch was
commercial interests. He did not certainly desire
Il war declared unnecessarily, but he thought the
Government ought to decide on enerpetic measures
respecting the matter under discussion. Above all,
that part OF the treaty of 1888 which regarded the
number of cruisers, ought to be strictly insist
ed on.
Vicount DuBoucHAGE considered that discussion
had called forth one important declaration from the
Minister for Foreign Aflairs-that the extension
which the treaty of December, 1871, was intended
to give to the treaties Of 1881 and 1893, should not
receive the ratification Of the French Government,
unless some new facts should come to light to autho
rise it. The noble peer declared that England was
actnaed in seeking this treaty by desire to
the sovereignty of the seas that she had always
tred to shut out neural flags from any power on
the sea, and had seized on every opportunity of
maintaining her right to search, even when she
went as far back as blockading neutral ports, under
The pretext Of preventing them from aiding parties
engaged in war When these pretences were no
longer TO be invented, she came forward with GER
them endeavored TO contnne the same proceedings
The noble peer. in conclusion, said that the use of
machinery having altogether done away with the
necessity of the slave trade in the French colonies
there was no longer any necessity Tor the right OF
search, and that therefore France ought to with
draw from any longer executing treaty OF which
the character was evidently temporary, and fitted
to circumstances which had now ceased.
The MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS thought II
necessary TO make but one remark. No French
sailors had ever been unnatlonaised, and obliged
10 serve in English vessels. No such fact had ever
occurred
Baron DupIN-ITad the sailors who were arrested
been restored to Fracce ,Ht
THE MINISTER OF FOREIGN ArrAIRs-Every one.
The MINISTER OF MARNE-No sailor had been
arrested in the affair OF the Marabout. -
Baron DUFIN had spoken oil the Senegambie.
The Marquis de GABRIAC considered thai the
part of the treaties Of 1881 and 1888, which gave
French Judges to French traders, were sufficient
guarantees against the vexations which might be
exercised against them All the facts alluded TO,
respecting the right of search, might be answered
by this single one--viz, that their maritime COM
merce had evidently prospered since the treaties
were in force, and hence he concluded that the OPT
Mon which had represented them as injurious to
their interests was altogether ill-founded.
Baron DrpIN could not consider the explanations
which had been given as satisfactory. II there was
no other fact but that Ct the Senesambie TO be adj
duced, 1T would make the matter exceedingly Sc
rious. in the course of the next week other facts
would be known, and then he should address the
chamber to ascertain their veritable character.
The general discussion being closed, the cham
Der proceeded TO the discussion Of the articles.
The Chamber adjourned at quarter past live.
