FRANCE.


The Paris correspondent of the Lon
don Daily Neacs gives the following
sketch of remarkable discussion in the
French Legislative body on the 30th ult:
The sitting of the Corps Legislatif to-
day was unusually interesting. The Or
der of the day was the debate on the
war loan of 5OO,0O0,0O0. NJ. Schneider,
one of the Vice Presidents of the Cham
Der, took the chair, in the absence of
Count de Morny. The Viscount Ana
tole Lemercier, a we'll known ultramont-
anist belonging to the party of the Univ
ers, expressed hope that the Emperor,
the enemy of the revolution" would
protect both the person and the States
of the Pope. To this, significant appeal
NJ. Baroche made an evasive answer
which was more significant still. He
said nothing about the States of the
Pope" but assured the honorable mem
Der that the French government would
take care of the security and indepen-
dence of the Holy See" Viscount de Ia
Tour Plichon, acting as the spokesman
of meeting of fifty-three members of
Orleanist tendencies, which was held yes
terday at the house of NJ. de Cham
brunne, said that he deplored" the war,
and were it not that the French army
was at this moment actually in the face
of an enemy, he should certainly have
voted against the bill. He protested
against the policy of letting loose the rev.
olution in Italy. When he sat down, af
E ter having been frequently interrupted,
, NJ. Baroche again rose, and declared that
the war was purely and simply defensive
one.
d NJ. Jules Favre, who spoke for the first
4 time in the present Chamber, then deliv.
? cred one Of the most telling speeches thai
: this great orator ever made in his life
o He took the same line of argument a:
r that adopted by Emile Olivier the other
day, but insisted much more pointedIy
D upon the fact, that the war had been i'm.
e agined, provoked, and brought about BY
h the French Emperor. He contendeG
that unless the war was a revoIutionar,
one, having for its object the expulsion
6 OF the Austrians and the independents,
> of Italy, it was in the highest degre,
r criminal. In the course of his speech
. he exclaimed: IF you really mean I,
"a turn the Austrians out of Italy, we ar,
7 with you so far but at home there car
neverbe any compact between us and 70,
. so long as France remains deprived 0
liberty" The President here interrupt
u ed the speaker. I" You cannot be allow
= ed to speak in this way of a government
= which has been repeatedly proclaime,
n by universal suffrage" NJ. Jules Favr
: replied in a voice of thunder: Sucl
:, an answer is out of place to me, a repre-
! sentative of the people, who was forci
bly, dragged from his seat in this buildin,
! on December ID" The President look
y ed astonished at this sally, but said no
another word No representative O
government rising to answer NJ. julie
y Favre, NJ. Nogent St. Laurent said
% few words, which were scarcely listene,
;s to, and the bill then passed unanimousI
n by the vote of PAT members. Tier
Il were few dissertations as on the occasion
of the kindred bill for an extra levy.
