During the debate on the SeiGtiis Consltu1n in the
French Senate on the 5th OF September NJ. Bonjean
asserted that he had need to say that the endtuS

The Senate, in his opinion, already pos
sessed the right OF making its internal regua-
tons. The privilege OF making interpretations was
OF utility only TO opposition, and could in way
attenuate conflict between the government and the
legislative body then the right OF veto only provided
for those situations in which the Intervention Of the
Senate was the least necessary as the Chler of the
State had always the power of refusing his sanction
to bills. Besides, of all the modes Of interpostion
veto was the most odious to those on whom 1t was
imposed and the most perllous to those who exer-
cised it, Louis -TVL., ana President Johnson, Of
the United States, had experienced that truth,
although in a dtrerent measure.
In the French Senate, on the 4th inst. an amend.
ment Of NJ Bonjean, giving the power OF initiating
laws to the Senate, as well as to the Emperor and
the Corps LegislatIf was rejected by an immense
majority also one brought forward by Count
de Sartges, demanding that any difference between
the Senate and the legislative body should be settled
by JOINT committee. Another amendment to the
eject that the President Of the legislative body
should be elected for SIX years. subject to the ap.
proval Of the Emperor, was also rejected.
