We have had stormy debates in the Chamber of
Deputies perhaps the stormiest on record since
1884. Big guns, small shot, and more smoke
words, words, words. Recriminations of the le-
gitimsts supported by the ultra-liberals, against
the conservatives, and vice vsrsa-which, although
innocent in themselves, have very bad moral ef-
feet on the present dynasty, who put in motion and
countenanced violence, instead Of trusting to the
power Of the will of the people. The debates in
answer to the speech of the Throne wasted the
energy of the Chamber in party quarrels, and In
ured the aggressors and the aggressed in the eyes
of their respective parties. The radical and mod
crate conservative papers blame the importance
given to the doings in Belgrave.square, increased
through the paragraph Of the committee, which was
of course opposed by the extreme droite and ad-
vanced ga,schs. M. Bechard was the first who at
tackled it, and committed the faults which were
continued by his friends, in using the word fidelity
with regard to the Duke de Bordeaux. M. Berger,
on whose powers of eloquence the hopes Of the
legitimists rest-although they use him only az 4
tool, and suspect him for the sake of his rotsricr
condtion-failed in producing his customary effect.
His definitions Of the nature Of an oath would not
even be counenanced by epettifogging lawyer.
He had the good judgment OF perceivlng his mis-
take; and feeling the weakness OF his, position,
turned skifuly round upon Guzot, and tainted

excitement, principally of the military members,

paragraph relating to the Right of Search Guizot,
interpreted by M. Telandier on our commercial
relations with the United States acknowledged the
onerous conditions Of the present tariff, but ex-
pressed little hope for reduction Of duties from
the present Congress- He alluded likewise to the
insolent arrogance OF Mexlco's law on the re-
tail trade carried on by foreigners and stated thar
it is the object of energetic recamations But all
these minor considerations disappear in the all
exciting topic of the legltimists, whose principal
leaders have sent in their designations to the Cham
ber but who will most certainly be reelected.
La jeune France has been waiting upon the
Count Chateaubriand, to console him for the
Rktrissure of the chamber. In the meantime, 60
yernment continues TO prosecute the loyal journals
The Quotidienne was condemned to fine of eight
thousand francs and one years imprisonment
the Gazette, par dSfawt, to six thousand francs
and two years Imprisonment, but having ap-
pealed to the jury, the verdict was annul-
led. The radical press wrongly think this
defeat Of government, as there will be anc-
Their trial. Salvandy, high conservative, formerly
minister of publ ic instruction under Mole, and EN-
bassador to Spain, has got severe reprmand from
the king for having voted with the legitmists; he
has, therefore, sent in his resignation as embassa-
dor of Turin, but it is said that he was prevailed
upon to take it back; the ministry being afraid OF
his following Lamartlne's example and swelling
the ranks of the opposition. There is much scan
dal connected with this business. Salvandy, who
recently has been created count by the king, has
made some advances to the Faubourg ST. German,
and is counting the young Countess of Miremonl,
who prevailed upon him to vote in favor of the
amendment, for the sake OF substituting the word
rSprouve for fStrit. The fair countess being pre-
sent, he voted himself Ostensby into disgrace.
During the presence Of the duke in London, the
vendee and Bretagne were in state of feverish
excitement, but which his departure will allay. |
The anxiety of government is, therefore, partially
relieved, and congratulates itself tor the success
the Duke of Angotileme, was in agony, who was
indeed very sick but not dangerously; it turned
out that this report had reference to Prince Albers
father, who has since died; 1t is said, that the
,
Louis Philippe does not care much about it, and
the official organs contradict the rumor, that the
French Ambassador has received order to depart
for Brunswick. This is confirmed by the presence
of King Ernst at the ambassadors ball. The north
-rn courts wish to marry the duke with the Queen
of Spain in preference to the Count Trapan OF Ma
pies, who is too young, beng only fifteen years OF
age and still at college. The king would, perhaps
consent to this arrangement, provided he would
renounce all his claims on France. Christine Is
safely delivered of daughter and is departing for
Madrid. with Munos, her husband. This man. is
the son OF an obscure Swiss tradesman, who after
having filled a small post in the old French and
papal guard, went to Madrid, where he attracted
The attention Of the quondam regent, and became
the father of goody collection ofsons and daugh
ters, who will not lack the necessities and super
huites of life, Christine being again in possession
of her pension, independent OF her immense private
fortune.

very satisfactory. There is an estimated increase
of the receipts over the expenditure of one million
of francs. The expenses of the navy department
are reduced, but greater grants are made for the

The right of search, the legitlmsts and the dota-
ton being disposed of, the opposition Is preparing
fresh campaign against the lorts and the railroads,
and of course against the house of Rothschld, who
is even more intimate with Dumon than with este.
