French Legislation.

PARIS. October 21.-The Herald's Euro
pean edition publishes today the following:
Many of the newly elected deputies are pre-
occupying themselves as to the measures to
be taken to assure the better working of the
parliamentary regime, with view to pre-
the discredit which appears to threaten
it. The measures under consideration have
beeen reduced to three. The first consists
in increasing the disciplinary punishments
for infractions of the rules of the Chamber
in order to prevent renewal of the violent
and scandalOus scenes which occurred dur
ing the last Legislature.
The second measure would have for its
object q regulation, in a restrictive sense, of
the right of Interpolation. Some Of the
deputies have an intention of progressing the
establishment of permanent committees,
which would be charged with the prepara-
ton and examination of all proposed bills.
This would be somewhat analogous to the
system in vogue In the United States. OF
these three propositions, that relating to the
Increase OF disciplinary penalties has every
chance of being adopted. Two will en-
counter strong opposition.
