The order of the day was the discussion of the
report of the committee the petitions for general
amnesty. The election Of Hecker, who raised the

| Chamber of which he was a member formed a part of
the discussion, he being included in the proposed
amnesty. Hecker and his companion, Strive, are at
the present moment fomentng new disorders on the

read the report and after abiding to the crimnality
of Hecker, during which he often interrupted by
the left) concluded by saying that it would be time

OF mprudence, and to include like Hecker would

SIMON then rose in support of his motion He said
