... France. The President 'S Sa.Larv. ^ ...
... FRANCE . THE PRESIDENT ' S SA . LARV . ^ > - We announced in our last number the bringing forward of the bill for the enormous augmentation of the Pre sident ' s salary . We now give the debate on the introduction of this infamous scheme : — .... ,. - prfs 1 Dekt : M . Fould has the tribune for a communication from the government . The Minmeb of Fisasce . said : I have the honour of presenting a bill demanding an increase of salary ( traiiement ) for the President of the Republic . ( Great uproar , particularly on the Mountain . ) ' On the Left : Read the expose des motifs . ' Oa theRiriit : Read , read .
: The Minister of Fisasce then ieaa as follows : — « Gentlemen , when the Constituent Assembly bv the bill of March 12 , 1849 , voted a provisional sum of 608 , 000 r . to the executive power for frais de representation , it was well undeistood that if afterwards that allowance was insufficient , the Legislative Assembly wou ' . d have the faculty to raise it to the level of the necessities imposed on the first magistrate of the state by the constitution , and iiy the habits of the country . ( Noise on the Leu . ) The experience of more than a year has demonstrated this insufficiency in the most absolute mannerand it beintc our duty to inform you of the
, game , we now come forward without hesitation to fulfil that duly . The expose des motifs of our constitutional compact has defined the position , the dignity , and the attributes of lhe President of the Republican terms which it is essential to place before you . The constitution , it is there declared , confers OB him all the attributes which appertain to ( behead of the state ; it is in him that is personified the action of France ; Ii « knows , he promulgates , and he executes the wishes of the republic . If the Assembly is the soul of the republic , he is its inn ; he represents it abroad , he disposes of its forces , he gives an impetus to the administration , and directs it , and he is the protector of order , the
defender of society , the first magistrate of a powerful and free psople , the superior agent of a democracy . He ought , consequently , to have at the same time the dignity and the force of the acting law . It is that which we have desired in iccoiding to that power all the rights which the constitution attaches to . bis eminent position . We assign to him supreme rank and authority ; and his trill ought not to encounter any resistance , for he commands in the name of the law . All the movement of the home and foreign affairs o the state depends on him , ascends on him ; and , in consequence , we desire that he be placed by the republic in the condition of honour and prerogative which
js fit ing for him who represents France with - other nations . And if the salary which we have appropriated to these functions has appeared to us too circumscribed , the reason , in our opinion , is , that the national treasury ought to provide for all expenses of representation , the amount of which will certainly exceed tfbat we have fixed for his person . It was so , gentlemen , that the committee on the constitution expressed itself . The anticipation which ? t expressed in these last lines was founded on a judicious appreciation of the charges which were shure to weigh on functions so highly placed . It , in fact , belongs to the dignity of the republic to glee the means of properly supporting the rack
which he occupies to this first magistrate , representing us , as he does , with other nations , who is placed by his duties in constant relations with foreign ambassadors in France , wRh all the constituted bodies of the state , and who . is obliged to move about constantly , if he desires to study the wishes and wants of the country , We may add , gentlemen , that political revolutions , which may change in a day the form of a government , do not modify with the same facility , and the same promptitude , the hab : ts of an ancient nation , where certain habits have taken deep root . In our country the chief of the state has always been considered as a second Providence —( loud bursts of
laughter on the Left)—constantly disposed to encourage the arts , to recampense meritorious actions , and to succour the unfortunate . Now , as formerly , you are convinced , gentlemen , that numerous sufferers deserving of interest raise from all points of France their supplications towards the superior chief of the government , who , in the eyes of the un ortunate , should personify the beneficent action of the country . Ought his hands to remain absolutely closed ? Would it be for the dignity and the interest of the republic to reduce its representative to an inability of doing good ? Would an economy attended with such a deplorable result be a wise ore ? We do not consider it necessary to insist on
this point to prove ta the Assembly that the credit inscribed in the budget is brought within , too narrow limits to allow the President to fulfil with dignity the obligations attached to his position . It is a question of propriety , of personal appreciation , which cannot be discussed by details ; which each one must judge of according to his own feeling of dignity and according to the opinion which he forms of the duties of the President of the French republic . It is in appealing to this sentiment , gentlemen , that we propose to you to carry up the allowance of the executive government to * the sum of 250 , C 00 f . a month . It is well understood that by means of this grant the credit appropriated to the expense of theElysee will disappear from the budget
of public works . ' Oar propasition , gentlemen , does not contain any idea of innovation . The only question is to continue what has been done for the last ei ghteen months within proper limits , and to impose on the state charges for public nlility , to which it would be neither just , nor constitutional , nor possible to continue any longer the character of personal sacrifices . Such , gentlemen , is the object of the bill which we have the honour to present to you . ' I have the honour also , added the honourable minister , te propose to you to refer the bill for examination to the committee of supplementary credits . ( Tremendoas uproar and disapprobation on the Left : loud cries of The previous question I' from the same quarter . )
M . Pascal Duprat proposed to send the bill to the bureaux , to have a special committee appointed there in the usual manner to examine it . M . Baudix : And I propose the previous ones tion ! H The President : Ton cannot propose the previous question on a proposition of the government . . M . Baedix persisted in his demand in the midst of great confusion . The President : The previous question cannot be brought forward against ihe initiative of the government . When the discussion has commenced it will be different . Mil . Baudiu , SchoelcW , and other Montagnards uttered loud exclamations . ( Agitation . ) 51 . Bavdix , to the President : It is evident that
you wul not put my proposition to the vote . The President : It is clear that I will not put an unconstitutional proposition to ( he " vote . We return to the constitutional one of MP . Duprat . The proposition of . M . P . -Duprat was then put to the vote and adopted ; ' the bill being accordingly sent to the Bureaux—The sitting then closed . Soxbay . —Yesterday the Assembl y met in the bureaux to appoint a committee of fifteen members on the Dotation Bill . There was a numerous attendance of representatives of all shades , and all the ministers were present . The discussion lasted till three ; the commissioners were only named after
several ballots , and in most bureaux hv a narrow majority . The Mountain , the tiers parti , and the legitimists voted against the candidates favourable to the hill . The Ministers , particularl y MM . itouher , Baroche , and Fould , spoke strongly in favour of the hill , stating that the government would accept no modification , and would treat the question as a vote of confidence . The committee consists of MM . Lagarde , de Dalmatie , Leverrier , Lefebre Dmufle , Thomjne-Desroazures , Cretan , Bavoux , Dufougerais , Fiandin , de Mornay , Audren de Kerdrel , Chapot , Favreau , Augustin Giraud , and Foitoul . . Five members , Leverrier , Lefebre , Dnrufle , Savour , Giraud , and Fortoul have declared
in favour of the bill . Seven members , MM Lagarde , Thomiae-Desmazures , Creton . Dufougerias , de Mornay , Chapot , and Favreau , have pronounced against it , MM . de Djlmatie , Fandin , and de Kerdrel are for a mixed system . They propose to make a single grant for once in order to pay the President ' s dt bts , but to maktiin the permanent allowance at its present fi gure , xhe government rejected all amendments to the bill .

" The government organs admit that the majority of the committee on the President ' s salary > s opposed to the augmentation ; tut the ' Constitutionnei' states that the President will accept'of no . modification of the ' ; measure , and that paper says * . 1 An opinion has . been ' expressed in the bureau and in the Chamber , ' which" consists in paying , the P" *' . suraed debts ohhe ' President , " and in rrfu smg ttie credit demanded .

taSS S ^ B . u .-lnjthe Assembly on Friday . he debate opened on the th . rd readrng o 5 e T ansportation Bill . M- Lagrange designated the bill as the continence of a system of prove cation . The majority wanted to hunt down the repnblic . ( In ierruption and laughter . ) It would he incomprehensible to posterity how a government , batched from the blood of the combatants of February , a government issued on the 10 th of December from universal suffrage , and charged by six millions of citizens with the mission of making good laws , cauld tear the act of its baptism . Since the pretended conspiracy of January 29 , how maivy pie . vocations had been accumulated ? Bad passions
had flown abroad on the wings of the telegraph . ( Laughter . ) France debased at home and insulted abroad . Hungary abandoned . ( Noise . J Rome bombarded . ( Fresh interru ? ion . ) The . rev . fathers reviving the inqusiiion . Provocation always and everywhere . Trees of liberty cut down ; the tombs of the soldiers of July and Februaty profaned ; 600 citizens transported without judgment ; the schools locked up , and the keys given to the Jesuits ; soldiers prosecuted for voting according to their consciences : and on the morrow of the murder oi
universal suffrage —( loud cries of' Order I order ' . ' ) —its corps had been - disinterred to strip it of th e ri g ht of petition . ( Noise . ) They had audaciously —( Order ! order!)—set their seals on the electoral meetings . The orphans and widows of the victims of February were starved , while they paid ' the wages of the violation of the sovereignty of the people . Here an altercation commenced and went on between the speaker and the president , who called him to order twice . The Assembly expressed , by frequent hursts of laughter , its : amusement at the hits given and received , while M . Legrange grew more violent in ; proportion to the admonitions he received , and the president more tart and smart in
his repartees . When quiet was restored , M . Thuriot de la Rosiere said that the party of disorder must he attacked with uncompromising vigour . Louis Philippe had fallen by au attempt to come . to an understanding with them . The majority , if it did not wish to ; pass over to the opinions of M . de Fiotte , must bke the initiative , the . offensive . ' M . de Flotte saidthey might talk of warif the pleased , but let them not talk of right and justice . They were the majhrityj the strong ; they might make laws , and he would obey them—the people would
obey them ; bat the minority claimed the prm . ledge of appealing to history ,, to the future , to opinion . The law was equally opposed to religion and morals , and they had no right to quote either ia its support . The majority did not understand the position of representatives ; They set themselves up for tutors of the people , while they . were 'bnl y there to do the people ' s will . ( Noise on-the Right . ) The general discussion was then closed , and the house passed . to the discussion of the separate articles . '' .-.. ... :. ¦ ¦ ' - :
After the rejection : of several amendments , the three first articles of the law were adopted in the same form as on the second deliberation . ; Articls 4 and . 5 designate the valley of Waitb . au and the isle of Nonkahiva as the places of transportation . M . Dupoht'du Biissac moved that the places should be left to be named in an ulterior law . He entered into details to prove that Waithau aadKonkahiva were deserts and uninhabitable . This amendment was rejected , and all the articles voted by a large majority , except that relative to tie retroactivity . . ;" . " ¦ "
On Saturday the Assembly resumed the debate . M . Rodat , the reporter , proposed the suppression of Art . 8 , which declares transportation not applicable to offences committed before , the law . After au eloquent speech by Gen . Fabvier in favour of maintaining the article , a ballot , took place , which gave 329 votes for the article and 313 against . ; a result which was received with cheers by the liberals . The Clubs . —On Thursday , the hill for the suppression of clubs for another year was voted by a majority of . 468 to 191 . The committee of Parliamentary initiative has resolved to take into consideration . the proposition of General de Gammont for transferring' the seat of government from Paris by a majority of twelve to eleven . s ' ' : :

Monday . —The President of the Republic , in the uniform ef a general of the National Guard , left the Etysee yesterday morning , about nine o ' clock , in an open carriage , for the Northern Railwaj . He was accompanied by the . Ministers of War and of Commerce , and two orderly officers , and was escorted by -a body of Lancers . A special : train was waiting to carry him to \ Saint'Quentin , for the inauguration of the railway frpra that place to Creil , At Saint Quentin alarg ' ecrowd cried 'Vive la Re . public Democratique et Sociale !? " Another crowd got up the opposition cry of 'Vive l'Erouereur !' Thisis really the only event of importance which has marked the progress of the President .
M . Thiers set out yesterday for'Lbndon , accompanied by his wife and Mdme . Dosne . In order to guard against uncharitable constructions as to the motives of his journey . M . Thiers had aninterview with the President before his departure . He did not . it is said , disguise his intention of visiting the ex-king , but represented this step as a duty which he owed to his old master ,, whose life was fastebhwg under the progress of a fatal ditease . Louis Philippe is said to be dying of cancer in the stomach , and his physiciaus state that his life can ' scarcely last a month longer .

hv which he arrived at this conclusion . The tow lad been already voted by the Chamber when-the nterew was solicited ; and when it was panted , he term of three days allowed to the Pres . dent for decidinK on afresh deliberation having expired , the law appeared promulgated with all due form in the ' MonVteur . ' M . Rigal , albeit a day too late for suspending the blow-dealt on universal suffrage , nevertheless repaired to theElysee at the hour appointed . The-circumstances of his interview having been
incorrectly represented by the Steele , he has written a letter to that paper , communicating the most ' minute details of his conversation with the President . A fact of the greatest importance results from this disclosure . * The President is proved to'h & ve'labbnred under the delusion that the new law was not applicable to presidential elections , and to I have imag ined that the chief magistrate of ^ the Republic would be chosen according to the special , law passed by the Constituent Assembly , by which his own election was determined . ; . >
Tuespav . —The Prefect of Police has just addressed the following circular to the commissaries of pnliceof Paris and of tbe banlieu : — « Paris , June 8 . —Sirj-There exists in Pari ? , and , in th e department of the Seine , a very considerable number of foreigners , whose presence , under ex . isting circumstances , demands the attention of the authorities .

, DRESDEN , Jtjme 6 ;—The Saxon ministry have followedvup , the . sudden , dissolution of the Saxon chambers with a series of strong reactionaryi , measures , measures which in fact completely ignore the existence of the cohstiluti 6 h of ' 1848 l ' , , rhey ' are in ; troduced in a ministerial ' p ' roclaniatiqii , . which i 3 ac compahied ' by " several drdiiiarices , ' all published , ili ^ day before yesterday ( Jiifie ; 3 . ) . The proclairiation contains the reasons for dissolving the ' present chambers and re-convokivg the old Assembly of Estates on the . basis of the constitution of 1831 , biitin the form and compn ^ ition of the ex traordinary Diet of 18481 This Assembly is to meet on the 1 st of Jul y next .
, The . several ordinances which accompany this proclamation require notice to he given to ' the police twenty-four hours before the assembly of every , public , meeting , at which policemen will lie present , whose orders must be strictly obeyed . Associations for political or public purposes must draw up , codes of laws for the sanctiot ' . of the authoritieB . , Only those : persons possessing . civil right s , are :, tb be per . mittell to joio these associations . The civic guard is hot to establish associations . within its ranks . Tho police are empowered to seize all periodicals and publications trespassing in the criminal laws on police or ministerial decrees ; in the former case to hand them to the public prosecutor , an . l in the latter
to the authority whom they may concern . The governments of districts arc empowered to . prohibit those periodicals which shall a ' second time commit the above ' effdnce . A fine of from 50 to 1 C 0 . dialers , or two to eight weeks' imprisonment , is imposed on any one daring to publish any periodical so prohibited . ; The freedom of trade . may be withdrawn from contumacious printers . Appeals can only be made to the roinisirv , whose decision in every , case is final . No placard ' s are to be published but such as refer to matters of trade and business . Newspaper carriers must procure the permission ; of the police . These regulations extend to music prints and lithographs . '

No one who knows the democratic character of ' the Saxon people , and the , small attachment felt by them towards their Catholic King—ho one who has seen the determined opposition of the majority in the chambers to the ^ policy pursued by the Saxon ministry with regard to the German question , will deny that the Saxon King and his ministers are daring men . Oi the states in Germany , the Saxons , are among the most discontented , aiid the most disposed to revolutionary . acts , and it is therefore ' mat-

tcr of surprise that the King should venture to beard hispeople at the very moment when by finally withdrawing from the narrower union ho can entertain no hope of assistsneefrora Prussia , such as was afforded him in the month of May , 1849 , when Prussian troops quelled the insurrection in Dresden . The most remarkable feature in ihe present ca * c is one that will appear unintelli gible to a constitutional Englishman ; it is the re-assembling of a parliament which was dissolved ei ghteen or twenty months ago , and since which' two different " parliaments have assisted in ruling the country . . Mean , while Dresden and ' Leiuzig remain perfectly quiet ; nor is there the slightest appearance of , danger ,, excsptihg in the double guards , the loaded cannon in the ' arsenal , and the ' numeroiis patrols of infantry and cavalry moving-about both towns .
. In the-meeting of the deputies of the city of Leipzig , held this ' morning , Mr . Henry Brockha ' us moved the postponement of all other business in order that the Assembly might consider the . ' position in Which the goverhtserit had placed the , country . After condemning the objects and ' proceedings of the government , he proposed a resolution declaring the abojitipn of theillectural Law of 1848 and . the restoration of that of 1831 , ¦ as -an . unconstitutional , oppressive , and : . dangerous , measure , calculated to alarm and corrupt by its open violation' of promises and contracts solsmrily made . .

POLAND AND RUSSIA , . The German journals . contain rumours of a revolutionary . agitation . 1 having''bean manifested in St . Petersburg and Moscow ,-especially in the upper schools and among the students .

It was evtn reported that these three establishments would be suppressed . . Another confiscation of the estates of a political , criminal had been
published in . Poland ; but it was distinguished from former political acta of the same kind ' 'by- a notice to the creditors of the late proprietor to send in their claims on him . Till now the practice bus been to collect all debts ( hie to the possessor of tilts " confiscated property for the benefit of the . Governnientj but all demands , of ; his creditors was rejected .
