Debating in the French Chamber is getting sharper. During a

very useless debate on the legal right of the Emperor to abolish the discussion on the Address, which ended in a vote of 241 to 25 in favour of the Emperor, M. Jules Fevre told the Minister of State, " We hold everything at the will of one man. You are no longer of your epoch. In the midst of Europe emancipated you believe yourself, or rather you wish to believe yourself, the Minister of a Marcus Aurelius or a Trajan "—pretty plain speaking. One member shrieked about civil war, and M. Walewski had difficulty in restoring order. His management of the House displeases the Emperor, who has every day new cause to regret the Due de Morny.
