project. Periere spoke in support Of
his measure. declaring it was tie duty

publican institutions, which he de-
ciared did not guarantee the country
against the Bonapartists. He said

crease the power Of the President.

position of the Government t. the bill.

bill was proclamation OF the detini-
tive republic. which is inexpediept, as

free to determine it's own destiny at
