tion of the measure rests the ruin or safety of France; the opponents of the law main tain, that to establish a superior class of electors is a violation of the equality of the people, and that it is an act of rebellion against the charter, and a direct proclamation of a counter-revolution.

On Saturday the 27th May, the discussion exceeded in violence any that had previously taken place. M. de la Fayette eulogised the Revolution, and reiterated the principles of 1789 with such undisguised force and warmth of expression, as to excite dreadful agitation, and to call down upon him imputations of revolt, rebellion, and insurrection. The Minister of Foreign Affairs replied, and defended the law. After this scene of political fury had continued for some time further, the sitting was adjourned.

On the following Thursday, June 1, the question was decided by a division of the

chamber.

The first trial of strength between the parties was on an amendment by M. Camille Jourdan, the chief tendency of which was, to negative the proposed innovation of making two stages in the election process. The point was, whether this amendment of M. Jourdan should have the priority of the others, which was carried against ministers by a majority of one. Such was the anxiety of the different parties, that the majority on this minor point was decided by M. Chauvelin, who came from his bed, where he lay sick, unable to stand, and who had to be supported in the arms of his friends, in order to give his vote.

The main question was then decided, on the amendment proposed by Camille Jourdan, which was rejected by a majority of 10-the numbers being 133 to 123. Every member of the chamber, except one, was present; several having, at the hazard of their lives, left their beds to give their votes on this great question.

The result was received on both sides with respectful calmness; but, on its reach ing the crowds of people who filled every avenue leading to the chamber, anxiously waiting the decision, it was received with strong manifestations of disapprobation.

The Court of Peers is still occupied in the preliminary proceedings of the trial of Louvel, the assassin of the Duke of Berri. Nothing public had taken place, but it is said that the preparatory examinations shew that the wretched murderer had neither instigator nor accomplice in his crime.

The Moniteur has officially announced that "the Duchess of Berri has entered the fifth month of her pregnancy, and continues in good health.”

Prosecutions against political writings have much increased lately. All the Li

beral Journals have several pending over them. The responsible proprietor of the Constitutionnel has been convicted, and sentenced to two years' imprisonment and a fine of 400 f. for a libel in that paper. A military invalid, for exclaiming Viveľ Empereur in the gardens of the Tuilleries, has been sentenced to four years' imprisonment.

From a work lately published by the Academy of Sciences in Paris, it appears that Paris contains 714,000 inhabitants, of which 25,000 are not domiciled. The average number of births annually is 21,000, and of these the proportion of male to female is twenty-five to twenty four. The consumption of bread annually is 113,880,000 kilogrammes; of oxen 70,000; of heifers 9000; of calves 78,000; of sheep 34,000; of swine 72,000; of eggs 74,000,000; of pigeons 900,000; of fowls 1,200,000; of wine 870,000 hectolitres.

GERMANY.-Execution of Sandt.— Sandt, the assassin of Kotzebue, was executed on the 20th inst. in a large plain near Manheim. He was desirous of addressing the populace, but the President of the Court of Justice, to whom he had given his word not to do so, reminded him that doubtless he did not wish to perjure himself immediately previous to death; he, therefore, confined himself to merely declaring that he "died for his country." A great number of students, from Heidleberg, who travelled with all speed to be present at his execution, only arrived at the moment when the executioner was exhibiting the severed head: several steeped their handkerchiefs in his blood.

RUSSIA. On the 20th March, (O. S.) the Emperor published an ukase, declaring that the wife of the Czarovitch and Grand Duke Constantine, the Grand Duchess Anne, (born Princess of Saxe-Coburg Saalfeld,) having gone abroad in 1801, on account of bad health, had expressed that she could not again return to Russia; that the circumstances of the case had been submitted to the consideration of the Holy Synod, which decided that the marriage ought to be dissolved, and that he ought to be allowed to marry again; and giving the Imperial approbation to the decision of the Holy Synod.-The manifesto also declares, that if any member of the Imperial Family shall form a marriage with an individual not of a reigning house, the children shall not succeed to the throne.
