The Continental intelligence this week is not important. The French

Chamber of Deputies is occupied in discussing the adde,s. In the course of the debate on the second paragraph, Ministers were charged with influencing unduly the late elections. A violent altercation took place between M. SIERT and MONTAL/- VET, Minister of the Interior; the former asserting, the latter denying, that any active opposition had been given by Ministers to the election of Liberal Members. SlYRY charged the Prefect of Morbihan with being an instrument of the Government in opposing his own election. The Prefect was himself in the gallery of the Chamber ; and as Sivay was leaving the Chamber, assaulted him. The consequence was to be a duel with small swords. The Parisians had nothing better to do than to discuss the merits of this squabble. It is surmised that the Ministers are leaning towards a union with the Doctrinaires.
