read the conclusion OF the premier's speech
on the bill for the exclusion of pretenders
from Office. It was an argument in favor
of the governments proposition, that the

which was derogatory.
to rules of promotion. It was unnecessary
that the bill should provide against the
event of congress or the two chambers
electing prince as president of the re-
public, as 1t simply enacted precautions
and did not claim to place obstacles in the
way of any manifestation of popular will
Nader de Montjau, Republican, urged
the immediate expulsion of all princes.
The general debate on the proposal was
declared closed and the chambers decided
by 396 to 134 to pass to tbs
discussion of Fabre's compromise
bill, and Rieux, Republican, propose
an amendment substituting for the fir d
clause of the bill, depriving princes of civ
il rights, a declaration of the rights of
man, proclaiming all citizens of the re-
public equal before law, and eligible to all
offices according to their capacities. Rieux
was loudly interrupted by members of the
left. He declared they hadno right to in
terrupt in the name liberty. The bill, he
tenders, of whom the country otherwise
would be ignorant. He did not admire
the little Robespierres and st. Justs who
parodied the blood stained pages of his
tory.
Rieux then withdrew his amendment,
which was reintroduced, slightly modified,
by Cuneo d. Armand, Bonapartist. The
chamber rejected the amendment, 289 to
Sc.
Pelletan, amid protests from the right
and acrimonious disputes, urged the adop-
ton of Floquet's proposal.
Prince de Leon, legItimist, said he won
dered that a general could have been
found in the French army The remain
der of the sentence was lost in uproar, but
was understood to refer to the acceptance
of the ministry of war, by Gen. Thibaudin.
A formal vote of censure on Prince de
Leon was passed.
Deves. minister of justice, declared that
the question lay between Floquet's pro-
posal and the bill in which the govern
ment limited itself to placing on the
record the power of the republic to pro-
tect itself without necessarily exiting the
princes. laa
The first clause of Floquets proposal
was rejected-352 to 172. Several motions
to adjourn were rejected, and the chamber,
292 to 115, decided to continue the sitting.
without suspension until the proposals
were disposed of. Gere al Thibanain said
the question did not set a precedent for
depriying officers of their rank, as pre-
tenders would be placed permanently on
the retired list. AS minister of war he
formally entered into an en-
gagement to carry out laws passed. No
disloyal influences, he said, need be feared
in the army, which was wholly devoted to
duty and would if necessary energetic
ally defend the republic.
Ballue's proposal cashiering the Orleans
princes was then voted upon and rejected
377 nays, 129 yeas.
Fabres bill then passed 343 to 1853, and
the chamber adjourned for the week.
Before the division was held clauses of
the bill were separately passed. The first
clause prohibits princes from filling any
civil or military post; the
second empowers the president to decree
their expulsion; and the third enacts
penalty of from one to five years i'm
prisonment for violation of such decree.
On the question of the whole bill being
put, Delafosse, Bonapartist, explained why
he and several members of the extreme
left, having themselves been prescribed,
could not support the bill, and he urgently
appealed to members similarly situated to
abstain from voting.
The debate lasted ten hours. A notice
able feature was the rights organized sys-
tenn of obstruction. Paul de Cassagnac
tainted the cabinet with having been una
BILE to find minister of marine. He OBJ
jected to the statement of Gen. Thibaudin,
that soldiers were devoted to the republic.
The amy belongs to Franco, ne said.
When you tell us to go get killed for
France, we shall go; but not for
republic. Amid storm of evaporation
and disapproTal from left, Cassagnac de-
clared that the army was demoralized by
proscriptional measures, and the turn of
princes friends would soon come. The
expulsion bill will be brought before the
senate as quickly as possible. President
Grevy combines to cherish thu hope that
be will soon have occasion to dissolve the
chambers.
