PARIS, Jan. 26-The discussion Of the
budget was continued in the Chamber OF
Deputies to-day. When the subject of APP
preparations for the ministry Of the interior
was broached Lucien Millevoye, Boulangiss
member for Somme. stepped to the speakers
tribune and made a bitter attack upon
foreigners in France in general. and the
foreign newspaper correspondents in Paris
in particular. The government had waited
too long, he said, before attempting to-
punish these trsducers Of the French people.
Adventures from peoples inimical to
France had been allowed to make this
country the scene of their dishonest schemes
and had plotted and thriven at the expense
Of loyal Frenchmen.
CREATURES OF CAPITALISTS.
The time had come for the government to-
proceed energetically against all who had
come from abroad to exploit French in

who while pretending merely to conduct a
legitimate newspaper bureau. were, in
fact. creatures OF foreign capitalists, and
made business of spreading ISLANDERS con-
cerning France. These men were practi-
cally political agents and they ought to be
arrested and punished at once for the scans
dalous faisehoods which they had recently
circulated. Their places should be taken
by native born Frenohmen who should be
directly under the protection of the govern
ment.
THE ATTACKS ON MoHRENHEIM.
M. Millevoye then spoke at length OF the
attacks upon Baron Mohrenheim, the Russ
sian Ambassador in Paris and Of the reporH
that Emperor Francis Joseph had sighted
the French ambassador, as illustrations Of
the consciencelessness of some foreign news

closed with a reference to the editing of the
Ems dispatch by Prince Bismarck as an
instance of the possible consequence
Of diffusing false reports. In reply
to M. Millevoye, M. Ribot reviewed in
detail the steps taken by the governments
against offending newspaper corresponds
enGs and the probable effects Of the new
press law amendnfents The government,
he said, would act quickly In every case to
protect every ambassador in Paris against
the libels of the press.
THE SECRET SERVICE FUND.
The subject was discussed by several
other deputies. Albert Chiche, Boulangish
deputy for Gironde, opposed the voting OF
the secret service fund.- on the ground that
the fund was used for political purposes OF
the government In power
M. Ribot replied that the fund was indis.
pensable, especially at present. Efforts
were making to incite the people to open
antagonism TO the republic. and
these efforts wonld not be res
laxed until after the elections.
ment could not, therefore, spare any
part Of the fund, and would regard the
vote on the question as a vote OF confidence.
As regarded the disposition of the funds
the deputies must trust the probity OF the
government. The statement as TO a vote ot
confidence caused stir among the deputies
who have called most loudly for aR tnvesti-
cation OF the Panama scandal.
THE CHAMBER EXCITED.
M. de Launay. who followed M. Ribot,
began an attack upon the governments
position toward the Panama scandal. The
confusion which had grown steadily during
M. dc Launay's speech became an uproar
when Paul de Schanel, republican, depre-
Gated the reflections upon the governments
intentions, and, turning to face the Bou-
langist Jules Delahaye, demanded that he
described as recipients of Panama brides.
M. Delahaye replied: Most OF you know
who they are; il is generally acknowledged
thct 154 deputies were corrupted"
CALLED ON TO NAME THEM.
"Name them, name them" came from all
sides of the chamber.
II am not here to name them," answered
M. Delahaye. at is for the law to discover
their names.n
M. bourgeois, minister OF justice, replied
to M. Delahayes accusations at length. He
regretted. he said to hear M Delahaye again
repeating his charges without giving any
proofs OF their truth.
Auguest de Ramsl, royalist, made the
last attack upon the government.
He was followed by NJ. Ribot, who made
a final appeal for the secret service fund to
save the French people from an agitation
which would shake the republic.
The fund was voted by 303 against 1872,
and the entire budget OF the ministry of the
interior was then aDproyed
