would compromise the safety of the state, those
returning to be liable to five years in prison.

be placed ON the retired list. This last clause
caused an uproar in the Chamber. NJ. Ballue
made motion to strike the names of the Or
leans princes from the roll of the army, and the
Chamber OF Deputies voted urgency for the
motion, 407 to 81. The ministry agreed to ur-
gency. Another bill was introduced modify.

punishment of outrages against the republic

the share of attention which they deserve, re

tion to resign if M. Ballue's motion is adop-
ted, which IS, however, highly improbable.
