| SCENE IN THE NATIONAL AssEMBLY.-We
have no cause this week to complain Of the unin-
teresting character Of the proceedings of the Legs-
iatve Assembly of France. The motion of M
Creton, which we alluded to last week. as fixed to
come on last Saturday, has given rise to one Of
those scenes that recalled to mind the most violent
tumults which disgraced the worst days of the
Convention. After interesting debate on Friday
upon granting extraordinary credit for the main
tenance of the army Of occupation in Rome, and
during which the Bonapartists and Legitimists
came in for their due STARE of reproaches for EN-
ploying the republican troops OF France to put down
republicanism in Italy, an attempt was made to
postpone nj. Creton's motion for three days but,
upon DIVISION it was determined to take the dis
cussion on the following day, by majority Of $40
votes to 3l9 as.
The result surprised every body, and M. Theirs,
with his new friends OF the Mountain, who were
divided upon the question, entertained hopes o
bringing back the Prince de Jonville and the Count
de Paris, with view, perhaps, to contest success
fully the next Presidential election. The Legiti
mlsts strangely enough, opposed the repeal OF the
laws which doomed the Bourbons to perpetual exile
under the impression that by the return of the
members of the elder and younger branches to
France, the Orleanists might have the advantage
In this state of parties the debate determined
upon. M. Creton moved the repeal Of the law,
and M. Berger opposed it, under the shallow pre-
text that it would divest the exiled princes of por-
ton. The Government opposed the notion M
Theirs and M. Pscatory were the chief promoters
Of the measure, although they did not speak. The
issue of the debate still doubtful when nj
Marc Dulralsse mounted the tribune.
This compound OF the bloody Jacobins St. Just,
Couthon, and Callot dHerbois, with compressed
lips, pale head intense expression, and resolute
cent, whilst hundred doubled fists threatened him
with personal vengeance, exclaimed, that those
who recommended pity were Royalists, and enc
mics of the Republic" A violent ensued
the tribune surrounded by indignant members
all menaciHg the undaunted favorte commissioner
of Ledru Roln who followed up his taunt by recall
ling to mind that the grandfather of the princes
whose Punishment they wanted to repeal, voted fol
| the kings DEATH" The Assembly shuddered, and
shouted; and M. Berger, forcing his way through
the rowd, reached the tribune, and listened tt
whilst he Indignantly branded the sentiments OF M
Durasse "detestable." M. Theirs, Remusa
and Piscatory felt OF success, and that til.
Chamber, out of dislike to M. Dufraisse, would
have voted the repeal. But no; M. Berger stopped
short, and moved that the debate should be ad
journed for six months M. Theirs and M. Pisca
tory became furious they tried to avert the danger
but M Roger, the Minister OF Justice, having ac
cepted this offer, the adjournment was carried ant
the vote OF the preceding day reversed. The Pari
journals have been since full of descriptions of the
re-appearance Of the "pale ghost of Robespierre
in M. Dufraisse ; and altogether the scene seem,
to have been more disgraceful tina any which oc
Cured even in 1913. General Narvaez was pres
ent during the whole of the proceeding Paris i,
tranquil and the populace engaged in the amuse.
ments OF the Carnival.
