A SCENE IN THE FRENCH CHAMBER OF PEERS
The grave decorum of this Senatorial body furi-
on>ly broken. short time since, by an unlucky re-
miniscence of its presidents Duke Pasquier. On the
trial of Lecompte, for shooting at the King the qucs-
ton was raised whether his sentence ought to

president observed that degradation was implied in
the sentence, there precedent to show in the
case of Marshal Ney The Duke unuckily forgot that
the son of Marshal Ney before him, as one OF
the Chamber. The precedent made nstanta-
neous sensation as well this account by reason
of the military and Napoeonic recollections still
cherished by many Freedmen. The Prince de Ia
MOskowa-Ney's son-lmmediately rose and left the
chamber but on subsequent day he brought the

He Welded either to his own impulses of ilial love
and pride, to the camors of the press, and the

the president to account for bis Renaissance, and in
voked the condign reprnbation of the chamber. In
the course of his speech he cried: "DoeS any one

stgmatize If there be esponsor, let him venture
to RISE and will yield him due credit, Just notoriey
for the extraordinary proof of courage" Instantly,
General Count de Castellane Peer of military and
political consequence, stood up he had already claim
ed the tribune after the Prince pluse-much CON-
moton-among the Peers. The Prince only observed
that he did not know the trials which might await
him in the chamber, and he then continued his main
remonstrance. When he had finished, de Castellane
whose father, general, had voted Ney guilty enter
ed the tribune, and attempted to speak. The Ma

an de Castelane had not assembled the steps oftht
tribune before there cries from all sides of the
chamber of No, no y The order of the day.! The
president declared that NJ de CaSellane had received
permission to speak, but numerous voices exclaimeC
He shall not have it, He, however, though pale
was intrepid enough TO speak. The storm increased
and ragged on every bench He opened his mouth bu

lures showing that he was determined to maintain

airy vaults had never before given out.
Amidst the rappings made with the paper knive:
upon the desks the stamping Of feet the floor ant
the vocift ration of The order Of the day., three
four generals rose. and cried in ind gnant terms

resist his feelings his eye famed as if he were il
battle; his old blood up, and his voice as if il
the midst of conflicting armies. We more than once
thought he would rush forward as if mounting TO the
assault, and make breach in the dress of his col
league.
This extraordinary scene lasted more than ter
minutes all the dignity of the chamber was lost
During this time NJ Pasquer stood behind NJ. d.
