THE WITHIN PARLIAMENT -THE CA
RADIAN LO88Eti DILL, ETC.
le the debate is Pailtamest upon the
Ce edrae looses bill, Mr. Gledstooe inter,
posed a most furious opposition to the mea-
ner*, sad hes remarks are said to ban made
a etarhed iteprwton in the House. He
eosbedd that the presage of the bill le -
volved Imperial as well as local consi-
deration and that its provisions were
•t variance with ,lbs honor and dignity
of the crown. He denied that the senee of
the Comedies people bad been pronounced
is favour of the measure; that even if It had.
he did mot admit that this should be ia ulti-
mate criterion. It involved the highest
imperial coos"deratrom, and should be sub-
jsct to the dilemma of the imperial Parlia-
ment alone. Ile did not ark the eovern-
raeat to disallow the tet, but for an *mn-
rs ee that under tho act rebels •bould not
be compensated, but that parties should
produce reasonsblo prima facie evidence,
before receiving aqy public money, that they
had not taken part in the rebellion.
Lord John Russell complained of the
tendency of Mr. Gladstone s speech to sg•
gravels the dissensions in Canada, embit-
ter the feelings of hostile parties, and the
he has stated the case of one party, that in
opposition, supplying them with argu-
ments, ad mending their case. After pay-
ing a warm tribute to the talents of Lord
Elgin sad the •pint of his administration,
eeriest scope arose, M. Cronies' usisse-
tiag that the documents W been with►etd
for stuck-pbbisg purposes, which t eisua-
'mun M. Dufuare dudaufolly repelled, os
which he was assailed with tesulun Ias-
guags. The President on beteg eked to
record " that M. Dufaure was 'molest," re-
plied that he would ,eccrd Owes the fact
that all the confusion was created by a knot
of 15 iadividuals. M. Lagrange moved that
there should be a sight sitting to receive
dsepatohes, which was refuse) by a large
austerity, and the Assembly separated.
On the 1116 instant the Assembly mel
without much externalappearance.tnside or
out, of that excitement which general ru-
mour had led to expect ; nevertblese, the
whisper ran that the members of the Moun-
tain were in committee, preparing as set of
accusation against the President end Minis -
tors for • violation of the constitution,siga-
ed by 9110 names. It is M. Drouys de
L'Huys whom the opposition accuse of ha-
ying, after he had sent in his resignation,
counteraigoed the order of the President for
1, neral Oujinot to a, tack Rome. A de-
would, it is said, be mine for the pro-
duction of the order, and, if produced, then
the ex -Minister world be included in the
impeachment. The President of the As-
sembly announced the death of their col-
league, Marshal Iitgeand, whose death was
a serious lose to France, for the covutry was
deprived of fi great captain and a good citi-
zen. He then announced the mines of the
deputation appointed to attend the funeral.

" Lyseet 10th May."
A morotog paper has drawn up with care
a series of extracts from opposition journals,
of which a few may be taken u • specimen
of the rest :-
"The Republic is surrounded by traitors,
who desire to destroy it
" France is in danger. The eternal mo-
nies of the people and of liberty open the
gates to the Cossacks. Keep an eye o0 our
enemies, lest we perish victims of Royalist
treasons."
"Reserve is an imperious duty. But if
the defenders of the constitution should meg
more call the people to arms, each will know
before commencing the struggle, that the
Moderates desire neither mercy nor prison-
ers, bet a war of extermination.",
"Should the Assembly become the ac-
complice of the President, and refuse to
proclaim the dismissal of the usurper, and
summon hint before a high court, there
would then be but one power, that of the
Preeideot Dictator, and the people would
hare to deal not only with the pt ince who
has destroyed the revolution of February,
but with the Assembly that had betrayed
eternal and limprescriptible rights."
The Democratic Socialist committee of
the Seine has published the following Ad-
dress to the National Assembly :-
" Considering article 5 of the preamble
of the constitution, and article 54 of the
constitution.
Presideit aid his Ministers taking
itemisation to leave thea act in operation,
trusting that its opposentr, whom he be-
lieved loyal men, would, when the present
excitement was over, endeavor to arrest its
eel consequences; that a direct action
wool] be most likely to sauafy Canada. -
He bad declared at once the policy which
the government meat to pursue.
Mr. Harries feared that Lord J. Russell
war not prepared to declare that the set
would not be carried into effect so as to
toesmiidy parties concerned in rebellion,
tied the act was so worded that no other
power but the Goverornrst of this country
could prevent that result, for the instruc-
tions of Lord • Elgin could not do. so.-
Whil•t I.erd J. Russell disclaimed the -in-
tention of Indemnifying rebels, his .argu-
ment as to lhaimposeibility of defining the
term, implied that rebels would be indemni-
fied. The blame of all that had happened
in Canada, he contended was imputable,
sot to Lord Elgin, but to the home Govro-
meat, whose proceedings with reference to
the colony he severely arraigned. Ile
concluded by moving an address to her
majesty to withhold the Royal assent to
the act until her majesty had received
satisfactory assurances that no persons
who bad been engaged in, or aided or
abetted the rebellion, should be admitted
to participate in the indemnity.
• The motion was seconded by Mr. B.
Cochrane, who made a smart attack upon
Mr. Roebuck, accusing him of being the
advocate of Rebels..
Mr. Roebuck returned a spirited but
somewhat bitter reply; and addressing him-
self to the question before the House main-
tained that the line drawn in the act was
the only just one, suggesting cases in which
men characterised as rebels would be
equitably entitled to compensation for the
destruction of their puoperti:`The motion

'twice; for the int,rpeliatioos that a few
days ago might have done good were now
comparatively i,selesa ohm facts were ac-
complished. R was now certain that the•
French and the Romani had been engaged
in more than one sanguinary combat, and
on both sides the losses were severe. The
French had nut made any impression, and
General Oudioot was now himself forced to
ask an armistice. The Minister of Foreign
Affair*, interrupting M. Ledru Rollin, said
the Government bad received no such intel-
ligence.. M. Ledru Rollin persisted in
maintaining the truth of his statement, and
proceeded to quote • letter from Rome, 6tb
Junes, decl*ing that the French troops had
suffered most .eve»Iy, and tbat the Romans
had retaken some of the puaitious. The
43rd and 68th regiment bad, according to
this letter, sustained great lose. It is fur-
ther stated that General Oudinot had asked
for a suepueston of wins 34 !ours for sake
of curbing oil' wounded soldiers. Under
present circumstances he would abandon the
interpellatidns of yrbicls he had given notice,
for be thought they could now lead to no-
thing. General Oudioot's conduct was, in
his opinion infamous ; and he would declare
that he saw but one course left, and that
was an act of accusation against the Presi-
dent of the Republic and his Ministers, and
he would, in consequence, present an act of
impeachment. (Cheers on the left, met with
cries of "Oh,'l from the right.) He further
proposed that members should at once retire
into their bureaux to examine the demand
lie had made. M. Odillon Barret commen-
ced"by saying that ;no information of the
kind referred to by M. Ledru Rollin had
reached the Government. The laic infor-
mation was the despatch of Geo. Oudioot,
and he thought the hon. gentleman should
in** hedjlthrfBsiager of .ho majority
in Canada, but by stimulating that terrible
spirit in which the• minority inoether coun-
tries incited resistance to the determination
of the majority. The guarantee required
by the motion was impossible; either theta
must be oo componsation, or the line drawn
in tbd act must be adopted; oreo if it were
possible to give the guarantee, it would-be
impolitic and dangerous, for it would run
coaster to the wishes d the people of
Canada, as expressed by their constituted
authorities.
Mr. C. Bruce opposed the motion and de-
fended the act. ,.
Mr. Brotherton then moved the adjourn -
'mat.
A brisk co tion tutee took place up -
no a euggestion that the debate bit adjourn-
ed, the motion withdrawn, and ootioe of it
be given for another day: but on a declara-
tion from D'Israeli, on the part of Mr. Her -
rt}, that the motion would not be with-
drawn, Dor would ho shrink from a division,
there was a eoosiderable ferment in the
Hoose; an' adjournment was moved and
withdrawn; a division was loudly called for,
end &tan ere were more than once ordered
10 withdraw, the qur.tion having been
ev(d*tly placed is a dilemma. At length
a division was taken on the gne.tion that
the debate be adjourned until Friday, which.
was serried by 172 against 107.
The debate on the Rebellion Iasses Bill
closed in the House of Commons on the
commie( of the 15th ultimo. The •follow -
sag atwadment was proposed by Mr. Her-
ts'. "That an humble address be pre-
sented to Iter Majesty praying that she will
be pleased to withhold her Royal Assent
to a act of the Canadian Assembly entitled
an act to provide for the indemnification of
persons in Lower Canada whose property
was destroyed during the Rebellion in
1331-8 without and until Her Msjeety
should bare received satisfactory asenraacn•
that no persons who had Imam engaged in.
aiding or •betting the unnatural rebellion
ehould be permitted to participate in the
indemnity so proposed."
This amendment was negatived on a divi-
iion of 290 to 150.
Sir R. Peel supported Lon) Elgin.
Lord John Rummell hes given notice in

to the Legislative Amenably, to pre.rot a
pretest against the vote some to y.aterday,
and a petition to the effect that the French
Republic should recognise tbat of Rome.
Between eleven and twelve the crowd
began to assemble at the Chateau d'Bse -
Amuog them was a great number of the
national guard in uniform, but without their
arum. At half put twelve the prueeseeiuo
began to be formed. TM people formed
twelve deep, under regular leaders. At the
head of the procession were the national
guards in uniform, to the ou:nber of at least
19,000; and the whole procession consisted
of about 95,000 peptone. The first rank
was composed of M. Eueooe Arago, who is
chef de battalion of one of the battalions of
the 8th legion, suppotted by two colonels
of the national guards. They were in their
uniforms se colonels of the national guards,
orf were accompanied by some members of
the Muuatain. Immense numbers of work -
ate. were assembled oo the foot pavement,
u well as at the Porte, Ht. Denis and St.
Martin. All the shops in the lies of march
eters closed, but *tithing like a symtom of
disturbance was visible. Not a single
serge sol -4 -sine was to be see.: but large
bods» of nauooal guards were under arms
at their respective points of muster.
While this was going oe the military
authorities were ptomain' to resist the
demonstration. The troops were ordered
out. 1t is impo.ible to give even in Idea
of the number and variety of troops on duty,
bet they must have amounted to 60,000 or
70,000. At half put twelve • regiment of

Every street, square, and lane were guarded

intelligence having attlived that a large
body of men were approaching, troop»
were sent for to the Esplanade of the In:

rons of lancers came down the quay, cross-
ed the bridge, and took up poeitipna in frrnt
of the garde meuble, at the epme time
blocking up the Rue Royale, Ir*St. Flo-
rentin, and the otheistreeta leading to the
Place de la Concorde. The Tuileries Gar-
dena were closed, being strongly occupied
by the troops. At about half past one
o'clock, the chasseure of Vincennes were
even to issue suddeoly from the gardens,
and run with great speed across the Place
de la Concorde towards the,Rue dela Pail.

mints as he had ventured to repeat. The
motive for disseminating such news was to
disturb the public mind. (Murmurs on the
left.) Such, too, was the object with which
an act of accusation was now brot' against
the President of the B.epubtrb and his Mtn-
istere. -The effect would fall, for the couq-
try aokeowledged that the Government bad
been actuated by the desire of protecting
the cause of liberty to the Roan States.
Rome, if oho refused the intervention of
France, would be obliged to submit in the
same way to superior force, and submit to
the dictation of a conqueror. France ought
not, in order to ward orae attack on liberty,
enter into war with Austria ; but when once
engaged in an intervention there was no
otherecourse open than the one pursued. -
Ile felt that they bad acted patiently -that
they had done their duty -and looked with
confidence for the good opinion of the As-
sembly and of the country. The sitting
was suspended for a considerable time. Mr.
Ledru Rollin replied by arguing that the in-
tentions of the Cooetitueot AnemNy had
been perverted. Towards the close of his
speech he became violent. Ile told Minis-
ters they bad blood on their head., and con-
cluded by declaring they would maintain the
constitution, even by an appeal to arms. -
A shout of indignation was rimed by the
majority. The Montagnards, on the other
heed supported their chtef, re --echoing what
be said, that they would maintain tie con.
stitulion by arms. Odilld6 Barrett ascend-
ed the tribune amidst great agitation, but
was requested not to reply, and descended.

from hie meat said, that the eonatitntioo was
by nne of its erudite placed under the pre_
lection of the French people, and if violated,
they would defend it, even to arms. (Great
agitation.) General Bedeau rushed to the
tremor, and doom/reed the presumption of
a minority attemptieg to dictate to the ma-
jority by threats of exciting the country,
and raining the people out of doomM
Seger d'Agneseesu followed, and exclaimed
that M. Lode' Rollin said there was blood

11011 KIM AROMA. MILL.
On the 19th the Canada Rebellion Loaves
were discussed is the House of Lords, and
Lord Brougham made• long speech, revtew-
meg Canadian history from 1769, allowing
throughout a decided leaning to the ultra
British party. He concluded by offering the
following reeotuuott
" That by an Act passed in the Parlia-
ment of Canada, intitled an Aet to provide
for the iodemmfieation of parties in ' Lower
Canada, whose property was destroyed du-
ring, the Rebellion in the year 1837 and
'38, no security is afforded against compen-
sation fur loess, sustained in the Rebellion
in Canada in 1837 and '38 being given to
tie persons engaged in said Rebellion. -
That it is just and necessary, either by
recommending a further and amended bill
to the Iegtalature of Canada, or such other
means as may be effectual to provide secu-
rity sootiest compensation for losses in said
Rebelhoa being given to persons engaged
in, or abetting the same."
Earl Gast replied toLord Brougham. He
professed not to clearly comprehami the re-
marks of his Lordship, and coos red that
his resolution could not effect any practical
purpose in restoring harmony and promo-
ting sound government in Canada.
Lord d3tanley and Lord Lynehurat sup-
ported the resolution.
Lords, CAIrSKLI, La1erD1wN, and ST.

Rue de 1a Paix. The demonstratioa bore

site 'he Cafe de Paris, in the Boulevard des
Helices, an attempt was elide to form it
barricade. An omibus and a carriage were
seized and upset by the mob, who commene-
ed to pull up the pavement, but semen( the
tirailleurs de Vincenues charged with their
bayonets, and set the insurgents at once to

At half -past twelve, M. Lacrosse, the
Ministeee'Public Werke, who accompanied
the authorities to quell any disturbance,

of the insurgents. At the moment of the
attack be was passing along the bouldevarde

Changarnier's aides-de-camp. He was, in
the first place, hooted, and then dragged
from his horse by the furious mob. His
clothes were rent to pieces, and at one
moment it was thought that he would have
loot his life; bot, fortunately, M. Etienne
Arago and M. Gent, bottf of wbom ware 10

Generals Perrot and de Castell.oe, and •
numerous staff, after going for soros time
along the Boulevards, turned back, aped pro-
ceeded down the Ru. Vivienne, towards the
Place de da Bourne. Behind the cortege

ada, whose property was destroyed during the re-
bellion in the years 1837 sad 1838."
Lord Grey has ao doubt that the perms, who
signed Wee petitions have been induced to do
se by • sincere apprehension that if the Aet is
question should be alloyed to come into opera-
tion, it would have the effect of eoeouraging dis-
loyally for lbs future, by making eaapeaation
to times who have been gouty of rebelhoa, for
lames which they brought upon themselves by
their crimes : but his Lordship direct. ms to as-
ses you, and he desires through yon to convey
tie aItmeamera.ce to those who have confided to
yes their pelioses for traowmusioo to her Ma-
jesty, that if the Aet bad appeared epee a careful
rxamt.atton of its provisioea to be justly apes to
this objection, not only would her Majesty's ser-
vsots bare bees prepared to advise the Q.es to
have exereised her prerogative by disallowing it,
but they are also enovineed that it never would
