Der OF Deputies this afternoon.

amnesty motions read the report which declines TO ad-
wise the passage any amnesty measure Whatever out

individual cases.
The BonIparrists in order to cause division among
the Republicans moved that the question OF amnesty Do

eminent considered it useless for tae deputies to vote
Immediately law which the Senate would be unable 10
discuss until after the recess.
NJ DuyaI Bonapartst, stated that his friends intro
duced the motion they wished to test the value
of the Republicans as a Government party, while they
thought the Amnesty question ought not To be delayed

There was a violent alteration between N. Duval and
Minister Ricaud OF remark made by the latter
that fallen PARTY Ike the Bona2artists had no abdiea-
ton TO Offer The Minister reminded NJ DuVal that the

A postponement of further debate on the Amnesty
question until after the recess intimately voted by
the Chamber by large majority all the groups OF the

The Republicans regard this result as confirmation OF
the vote OF the Bordeaux Assembly by which the Empire
was formally deposed
The Chamber also deferred the consideration OF three
disputed election until after the recess ana adj
Iourned to the l0tl OF May.
