Mk The French INTERESTING PROCEEDINGS, SrTTING oF JuNE 29, The circulation on the Place de la Consorde, and round the Chamber was no. so norestrained during ‘the morning as the day before. Sentinels we: atall the approaches xod. though cards wer all eages demanded per-on was called 01 clare what kind of bu-iness ealled him to that part of the capital. The enirassiers and dragoons were auill jcketed on the Plrowvde ta Concorde and quays. their Deeses teing ready saddled, and prepared to movo at & moment's notice. Later in the day, tho sever served in the morning wis entirely relaxed ; cae of the regiments of cavalry took its departure, and at the hour when the Chamwher rose (helfpast four) the other was apparently on the point of moving. Inside. the attendance of members was exceedingly great, but, like the uay | etorr, nut much aniination was perceptible. The public tribunes were crowded, principally with National Guards. ‘The chair was two. H The Prysipent—I have to demand from your autho- rization to slightly change the ore f the day. for the of allowing me to present a proposition of a grave character, aud worthy of all your interest. On our order of the day. I last night placed only one nomi- ation, that of tho President. but uatinopily. there is her vacancy amongst the persons composing your bureau, for which it will he necessary to appoint asucs cessor. Tallude to one of your questors, the brave and deeply lamented Generai Neuriee (warks of sym- thy.) Before proceeding to that nomination, we tive @ duty to perform—a debt of gratitude to pay— to meager which he has Jeft.behind. In conse- quence, inthe name of your bareau. | have te bring forward to you a decree on the subject, which will not need to be developed. General Negrier was born in Portugal, of French parents, and was brought to France by Marshal Lannes— | ‘Some voices here seemed to question this statement. | n his place. and in a voice -woak from emotion. stated that it was he, who, when serving as theMarsbal’s aide-de camp. had been com. missioned by him to bring to France the gallant officer whose logs caused so great an affliction to all his friends. ‘The General here reemed wuch affected, and, afcer he eat down, buried bis face in his handkerchief The Paesipext— But why dwell on that point? It is immaterial. AN know the eminent sorvices of tho deceased—there is no recessity to enumerate them, He has left a widow and two children to lament his loss, Of the latter, one. a daughter, is married; the other, a young man of 19. has entered the 7th 'regi- ment of the line as a volunte r. and has passed his first examination for St Cyr. The widow is entitled 10 only the poor pen-ion of 1.5'0fa yoar. given to her in consequence of her husband having boon general of division. That provision was evidently inadequate for the widow of such @ man ; (hear. hear); aud [ am convinced that the facts which | have jnst’ mentioned witlensurc the immediate edoption of the fullowing <leoree :— ‘The Nationg!

(Approbation.) The Minister or Puntic Wonks remiaed the Cham- ber, that a bill demanding a credit of six millions for works on the Lyons Railway had heen presented, He wished now to usk permission from the Assembly to have it voted @urgence (Murmurs of various kinds) The Assembly had proposed it because the railway question was on the order of the day.

The members. it was decided, should assemble this morning at teno'clock at the Northern Railway station. The Minister or Punic Instruction prosented a bill relative to primary instruction, The Chamber rose at six o'clock Sitrine or Juiy 4, A regiment of cuirassiers still continues picketed in the Place de la Concorde. The cireutation of the pub- lie was perfectly free, The Chamber was still most strongly guarded Inside, the attendance of representatives was not very numerous; the public tribunes were again crowded with spectators. ‘The President took the chair at a quarter past two A number of reports on petitions were presonted, but none of them were important. M. Etienne presented the report on the bill relating to the definitive regulation of the busiget of 1847. M. Desoy demanded that the bill preseated the day before on primury instruction should be referred to a special committee After a short discussion, the bill was sent to the bu- rewux. © M. Gourn, presented two propositions from the Com- mittee on Finance, tending —one, to fix the salaries to be received by the President of the Council and the Minieters,; it proposises a sum of 10 000fr. per month for the former, and 36,000fr. per annum for each of the latter ;—and the other, allowing to the members who compose the Executive Committee a sum of 5,000fr. a month each, during the period they were in office, and 1o their Secretary a sum of 3.000tr. a month. The bill authorising the town of Saint-Etienne to contract loan of 200,000fr., to afford employment to the working classes, was adopted without discussion. ‘M. Prat, in the name of the Committee on War, pre- sented a report on a bill demanding the creation of a battalion of Gendarmerie in the dapartmeatye of the | West.

General Cavaignac expressed his wish that we should still remain together by offering me an import- | t peat in the administration. which you had autho- | en rised him to form; my first reply was an absolute re- fusal, and you will easily comprehend my motives tor it. He who had been called by your su! to the Presidency of the Arsewbly, sod who. after having been e constantly supported by your sympathios, received from you the testimony awarded me decree of yesterday, could only begome lower by ac- cepting any office, The interest of hia, glory and of his repose, therefore, forbade him from e' this terrible movement of public affairs, where men wear themselves out 0 fast, and where the strongest last but such a short time. I, however, felt that there were times when all personal considerations should be hushed; when a citizen, like a devoted soldier, should place himself at his post. and when honorable repre- gentations impel hint to believe he may render further ices to his country. Gentlemen, in the difficult hich Iam about to engage, permit me to ‘duct, the sentiment even of this Aesembly, and, as en- ement. the hope that it will yield me its sup- port, fh order to give to the administration a decided and vigorous impulse, so that,as well by its members as by its acts, it may inspire the nation with full con- fidence, reataure yond citizens. disconcert the factions, ‘make the republic every where respected and be- loved. Suoh is the end to which all my efforts will be directed, and I promise you | will devote to it all the good will, the zeal, and the energy, that I possess, (Loud approbation. ‘The honorable gentleman then left the chair, which was taken by M. Ccrbon. Some little delay took place, during which time he had gone to his reat as Minister, and was apparently consulting with M. Bethmont, M. tide, and other Ministers, He then left his place, and ascended the tribun M. Sewarp, Minister of the Interior, said that the first duty of the new minixtry was to provide for the wants of a number of families left destitate by the loss of relatives, in the late events. The wounded would also require aid; and tbe National Guards who had ‘come from the departments to preserve order, were to be provided for suitably. 1» consequence. he intended proposing. forthwith, s bill demanding a credit for the abo 8, premiring. that it was not to affect in any way the pensions which the republic might think fit to vote hereafter. The following was the decree :— tion. ATL The National Guards coming shall be) + ided for out of 11.0 same sum.” ‘This bill was at once adopted. The Ministee or THe InTeRroR also presented a bill granting a sum of 1,000,000 fr. for the support of the Garde Mobile. "| Adopted d’urgence, without discussion. M. Manven. was happy to ioform the Assembly that General Lafontaine’s wound was going on favorably. ‘The next order of the bn | was the discussion on the bill relative to the national workshops. Goneral Cavarenac ascended the tribane and stated that measures had been already commenced with re- spect to there establishments. but from the shortness of the time which had elapsed since attention could be gi- ‘ven to them, no decisive result had yet been come to. Tie thought it would bo better to postpone the diseu: sion until something of importance bad been done — He should propose to postpone the discussion to Mon- day noxt. (Hear, hear.) ¢ postponement wag pronounced. * * * * from the departments The Prestpent then stated that the representatives were to moet next day at heir bureaux, to consider the bill on the constitutio A representative remarked that asthe bureaux were to be renewed in four days. and asthe ame members would not be again elected to the came bureaux, it was better to wait for that mement In consequence of this observation, it was decided that the bureaux should not be renewed the next day. ‘The ritting was thert brought toa close at half-past four, until the next day at one o'clock. 8irtine or June 80, ‘The approaches to the Chamber continue to be all strictly guarded, thouch the trovps have been mach diminished. On the Place dela Concorde one regi- ment of cuirassiers still ‘emains picketed, and on the quays large bodies ef troops are stationed, Inside the Chamber, the attendance of members was exceedingly numerous, and the publio tribunes were crowded. M. Armand Marrast one of the Vice-Presidents, took the chair at h tone The honorable representatives proceeded to the monthly renewal of their bureaux, When this had ‘been effected. M. A. Marra-t catled on M. Marie, the new President. to take the chair. ‘The Parsipext then axcended the estrade and deli- yered the following address:— Citizens : In calling me to the presidentrhip 1 this Assembly, you have given me a high 1 rk of conn te for which | thank you ithank you abcve all for once more, and at a <iMcult moment nade an «pownlto my devotedness ‘The fatal days which have en-t over France an im- mense affietion impore on all meat importont daties —I am well aware of them, avd! acceptthem Men's minds may te nstonihed at them, but they swell at the fact, and give men courage, and it ix on that side that hope to justity your confidence, Besides, if, for ryinetant, republicun France was forced to bond itt ? impious war, it may now at length raise sed pride and confidence, The rep: ain power il agniose it your | ring into | ii ‘witb me a# inspiration. and as my rule of con- | | of his family, for the pension granted to his widowed mother. The President also read a letter from M. Ray- | nal. announcing that General Bourgon had expired from the wounds which he had received during the late insurrection. (Marks of regret.)—“I have to inform the Assembly,” said the Hon. President. “that the state of General Damesne is hourly improving, Ge- | neral Duvivier is going on more slowly, but his position affords no cause for apprehension. I have also received another letter Informrog me of the arrival by the rail- ways of gifts of all kinds—food, linen, medicine, wine, &e.. for the wounded.” (Hear. bear ) The adjourned discussion on the bill relative to the election of the municipal rouncils in the departments was then resumed. It continued all day on"matters relating to the vari- ous appointments. and, after coming down to article 10, was again adjourned. ‘The Presinent—A review of the National Guards who have arrived from the country within the last two or three days, will take place to-morrow morning at 8 o'clock, and I pray the whole of the representatives to attend on the perystyle at that hour. |” The Assembly then rose at a quarter past 6. ‘The reprerentatives met on Saturday in their bu- reaux to proceed to their monthly organisation, As it ia in the bureaux thus organized that will be discussed the conatitutien, and several organic measures which will probably be referred to them, the proceedings were unusually important. The nomination of Prost- dents, above all. gave rise to very sharp contests, and it will be seen by. the cubjoined list that the greater number of the chief members of the mecting of the Rue de Portiers bave been elected, particularly MM. ‘Thiers, Berryer, Dufaure, Vivien, Dupia, Bitlauit, de Tracy, and G. de Beaumont. Only one membur of the late Executive Committee was named President, namely, M Francois Arago. M. Marast was beaten in a second ballot by M. Vivien, The following arc the members nominated presidents and secrctaries:— Presidents Secretaries. declaration might have been deemed necessary; but at present, when no one dowied these rights, it was use- ss if not perilous to proclaim them, especially in the vague manner seen in the draft under consideration, He should prefer having that part of the do-ument omitted altovetber, since it was not to be hoped that apy one could draw up the definition in such a way as to suit the occasion, M.

But it bas been thought indispensable to add two other privciples—the right of man to assistance, and the right of man to employment. I am of opinion that ail , that cannot be performed which is avenged with arms in the hand, Let the right | of assistance be proclaimed, I see no great danger in doing so, for, with establishments of charity on a inore extepsive scale, I think that such » promise can be performed to a’ certain extent. But to proclaim ‘ho | right of man to labor, is it not to enter 1ato an abso- lute engagement to furnish at all times and on every occasion work to thoxe who have none? If that on gegement can be fulfilled, {have no objection in the | world to its being made ; but is there any one here who dures affirm that it can be carried out? Ihave | thought much of whut at present is culled the organi. | zation of labor (a new name for an old thing.) acd | have deplored tLe imprudence with which questions have been brought forward, which are so diffioult to re- solve. A discussion. golezmn, mature, and without any thing being kept back, must tuke place on thix sudject in the National Assembly; for we must a-certain if any one really possesses the secret of putting an end, at will to all the miseries of the people; and if he pos sesses it. he must give it to the world: if no one posses- sex it itinust not be promiscd. for to. make such pr mires can only lead to bloodshed. ‘The horrible ace nes of the last few days are a proof of it. But. whilst waitiag for that tolemn discussion, wo may engwre if any ono can point out any means of always giving employ- ment to the working classes No doubt an able govora- ment may do much by legislation, by « proper system of tuxation and duties, to fevor production and in- | crease Jabor: but in the very richest and most indus- trial countries, how can these stoppages of work be prevented, which spring from a suporabundance of production? ‘To promise employment to workmen in | such cases. is it not to enter into an engagement ia advance to renew the receat and most disastfous ox- | perimont of the national workshops? It is trae that agricultural colonies, reclaiming wa:te land, and draining marches are spoken of, but surely these ars a eud renvurce to offer unemployed hands; for of what use to a weaver or mechanician is i to go to the pro- vinces to dig the earth, in order to keep off starvation? The displarement, the weakness of their arms. nui their inexperience, would render such a resource no- or agriculturist, or machine maker, as impossible to realize, still | think it may do much by affording work to the labouring classes, for it is true that the State treop; it has to get fortresses built, artillery wagons constructed, ateam-engines manufactured; by creatiog establishments, the principles of which would be to work little in times of industrial prosperity, and much in times of distre-s, it would not be im- possible to provide for such moments when gene- ral work is slack. I have thought much on the possibility of « eystom which would tend to re- serve the works with which the State is naturally barged for times when general industry does but little; but such a rystem. which would demand a correspon- dent financial system, would be difficult to establieh and exceedingly expensive—the State would execute experiment to a certain extent; but on the mere chance of 1 success, ought the right of labor to be proclaims I think decidedly not. I think, there- foro, the State ought to avoid making hor formal pro- mires in this re8pect; for it may possibly turn out nothing more than a deceit for the people.

Some bureaux even named vice-presidents, vic secretaries, thinking it likely tbat the work would too heavy to be got through under the ordinary ar- rangementa, ‘The bureau then commenced the examination of the constitution. The preamble, which enumerates the rights and duties of man, was much objected to, as be ing vague and incemplete. M. de Cormenin, who is said to be the author of that part of the draft. defended it on the ground that it was made for the people, and not for deep thinkers or philosophers, He allowed that the declarations contained in it were vague, but he maintained that they were sufficiently clear for the multitude, and such as could be easily engraved on the memory. Some members deolared that they should prefer to substitute for the maxim drawn from serip- ture. which concludes the fret article of the preamble, this formula of the constitution of 1705—* Constantly do that good to others which you would be glad to re- ceive yourself from them.” ‘The discussion was particularly sharp in somo of the bureaux on the seven articles which define the gui Tantees accorded by the constitution. The definition of the principle ot liberty gave occasion to M. Louis Blane to propose the following wording :—* Liberty conslsts in the power given to man to exercise and de+ velope his faculties under the empire of justice, and un- der the safeguard of the law.’ ‘This wording was not approved of M. Barthe observed that it enumerated nothing essential, and that consequently all would re« maip at the will and arbitrary deci-ion of the ralers; and that in fact there would be no limit to the right of liberty; he added that the articles of constitution ought to be drawn up ina prestioal point of view ‘The definition of the right of labor was considered altogether too absolute. and likely to lead to hopes which could not possibly be reslived = The g eate-t number of the representatives were, however, of opinion that the promises held outin February on this poiat ought to be carried out, without however falling into Wild utopian seh The State, it was observed, ought not to give assistance except in exceedingly rare cases, euch as public calamities, the displacement or annjbilation of certain branches of industry, &e ; it being. above all. necessary to avoid holding out # pro- mivm to idleness; the hehe of assistance ought to be recognised, but without anything absolute being pre- dicated for strong healthy men; Gesides, it wax agreed, the new organisation of the commu: and canto: would now permit more efficient aid to be afforded to the working classes. The discussion on this wasin pertioules important in 3rd bure u. of which M. Thiers formed part. That gentleman's opinion pro- dvecd a very marked effect on the members. The fol- lowing is a sketch of what took place :— M. Triens, the President, inquired whether it would pleare the bureau to commence by a general discus- sion, or a special one for each article. It was decided that s general discussion should be. ee preceeded to on the whole draft of the constitu jon, M.

A time and place were ur- ravged. but the uncle became aware of the plan, and while the lover and his friends were hovering about the house, they received a polite invitation from the uncle to come in the front door, in # straight-forward way.

The Picayune says: “On | Tuesday (11th) a small portion of the levee at that | | spot gave way and sunk, and some fears were en- | tertained at the time that a larger p rtion would | soon break off. On the evening we have spoken ot some men were engaged in driving pickets down | atthe place where the bank had given way,in order | to preventthe levee from further wearing away by | the action of the water. Some fifteen or twenty | persons, who resided near the place,were gathered on the bank, viewing the river and the men at work, when ut two hundred feet of the levee in length, and eighty feet in width, suddenly gave way, and without a moment's warning, six human | beings were ushered into eternity. ‘The scene is | | described by those who witnessed it to have been | the most heart-rending they ever lookedupon. We | have learned the names of only six persons, as yet, who were drowned, but it is asserted that others, who at present are not known, were lost. The names of the victims, as we have learned them, are Mrs Hypoline Troump and child, about eight months old; Fanny Troump, aged nine years; Louise Troump, aged seven years ; Felix Troump, aged twenty-four years ; Miss Charlotte Dezire, | and Mr. Francois Andry, The latter gen- tleman arrived on the spot but a few moments | before the accident occurred, and having ted | his horse to a capstan on the levee, had given some directions to the men who were at work, and had started to come out in the road, when he went | down, as also did his horse. Of the five men who were at work driving pickets, four of them escaped : Felix Troump being the only one who was drowaed. A little fellow not quite ten years of age, Gustave ‘Troump, was precipitated with the others into the water, but being able to swim, and fortunate enongh to retain his presence of mind, reached the shore. He is the son of Mr. Hypolite Troump, and the | only one of his family that 18 left to him. Mr, Noblat was also carried into the water, and some. what injured by a piece of timber, bat succeeded in saving himself by swimming ashore. The death of Mrs. Troump and child was the most agonizin| portion of the terrible scene. The spot upon nich she stood, instead of rolling over into the water as | most of the bank did,settled down beneath her, leav- | ing herstanding with her child raised above her head, with the true feelings ofa mother, and calling until she nearly disappeared upon some one to save | her child. Her husband, who was buta short dis- tance from her, rushed towards the spot, and when within afew feet of her, a large pile of wood fell overand crashed her beneath it, The watortu- nate man who had thus lost all he held dearat a blow, could with difficulty be restrained from plunging into the water and going down with his jamily. He yesterday preseated the most melan- choly spectacle we have ever looked upon.
