PARIS, july 81, 1851. M
The great Debate on the Revision Of the Consti-
tuition is over. It ended on Saturday night, having
occupied the whole week. spoke on Thursday
in complimentary terms Of the decorum and dignity
which marked the three first days. Even while

The call was carried by showing Of hands. The
minority aver dsfinctly ,hsA the wil Of the house
was just the reverse, but that President Dunn and
the Bureau were resolved not to allow the debate
to be resumed on Monday. The decision was
firmly protested against, but was maintained; and
thus LAMARTINE, REMUsAT, MoNTALEMsERT,F FAvRE,
and numerous other orators who were enrolled 70
speak upon the question, were condemned to ST.
lence. The vote, by yeas and nays, was then pro-
ceeded with; ; and the house was fuller than it has
ever been on any previous occasion. There want

and fifty and there are several vacancies by death
or resignation. Here is the result
