TUESDAY, May 2s, 1850.
The proceedings Of this day were briefly stated
The national era. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1847-1860, 1850-06-06

The position Of the different parties in regard
10 the bill is worthy Of note The most prominent
Napoleonists are silent and non-committal before
the public, but will vote yea. The Legitimists
are anxious to have the bill passed, with some
slight notifications to suit the interest OF their
influence over the peasants Of Vendee and other
parts Of the country, but are equally anxious 70
preserve the appearance of iberaity. Ia ,neir
journals they denounce roundly the iihoeraily
Of the law. Their game is heartiess one. va
the final vote they will take good care to let the
law PASS and at the same time detach some OF
their men TO vote with the opposition. Laroche-
iaouein is the chief Of the popular section OF the
/. eu;timists IL would sstonish no one to see him
attack the bill at the tribune llibersl although
there is not in France man really more opposed
TO popular right than he is. The Orleanists will
ali support the bill, as their strength lies only
among the richer bourgeois.
The discussion will be long aud stormy. A great
many amendments will be proposed II Is possible
that the Left may abstain from debate, but not
probable M Lamartine intends TO speak. There
is no telling what he will say, he is so very eccen
trio, and withal 80 very polite. The great poet is
said now to be the politest man in France. He
can never believe that anybody Is SO naughty as
TO intend to violate the Constitution but recognises
the purity Of the motives Of everybody, M Baroche
included He has become very tiresome with his
eternal compliments One of the papers says he
rivals certain M Caigney, who was so polite
that he would spring out Of the window to let
down the carriage steps for an iliustrous vislter
Lamartine will, as usual, take some middle course
