[From the Etoile.1 The Chamnber met at one o'clock. The amendment of Count de Mollien, of which we gave the text yesterday, was first put in de- liberation, as to that portion only which tended to substitute for a conversion into rentes at 3 per cent. a conversion into r,cntes, half at 3, and half at 4 percent. The Duke de Brodie, the Count de la Forest, the Count de Mollien, and the Mrinister of Finance, were successively heard on this amendment, which was afterwardsput to the voteon the scrutiny, and rejected by a majority of 120 votes to 105. The Duke de Crillon had in the course of the discussion, pro- posed an amendment, wllich in one of its artides re-produced the proposition to substitute rentes at 4& to those at 5 per cent. This proposition being the same as that made by Count loy, and rejected in the sitting of yesterday, its author withdrew it, under the pledge of bringing it forward again in the couse of the d6scussion of the other articles of his amendment. All the amendments proposed on the first paragraph having been thus removed, the Chamber was about to vote on the paragraph itself, when The Ministerof Finance (the Count de Villele) demanded to be heard, in order to explain, before the Chamber should proceed to a scrutiny which miiht decide the fate of the law,. what the Govem- ment proposed to do in favoar of the stockholders of less than 1,000 francs (401. annual dividend), whose interest appeaTed to be one of the motives of the opposition to the plan of the law. He declared that the intentionofthe Government was, without admitting any exception to the lav, to propose bereafter the creation of an esta- blishment, in which annuitants of this description might finda cer- tains investment at a sufficient rate of interest. He pointed out the Caisse des Contsignati4ns as an institution applicable to this purpose, and he showed that it would be very easy to induce the associated baskers to renounce their commission on thisportion of the rentes; which, while it secured to the annuitants of this class the power of receiving undiminished dividends up to the 1st of January, 1826, would thus enable them to await, without loss, the moment wlien an establisbhment rrigbt be created destined to receive their fands. The Chamb er tnhen voted, by scrutinye on te first Pthwrapf of x-- .- . *t _. _] .u n..,n,r- .-a LvWrd by a aa* - nty or 1zu votes to Iua. The other paragraphs, beinz merely dependent on the first, and falling to the grotnd necessarily with it, were put to the vote, and re. jected; after which the Chamber, to conform to its standingorders, voted on the definitive scrutinyon the wholeof the project, which in like manner was rejected. The Chamber then adjourned, without fixing the day of its next meeting. PRENCH PAlPERS. I C.HAMJBER OF PEBRS.-BULLiTIN OF JUNTg 3.
