' This protest was drawn np by the Abbe LamenBais .

      The following is a copy ot the article which appeared in the PeuFk of Wedtttodav , and for which the paper was seized :- If the representatives have failed i » their duty , the prtss wiil not fail m its dutv the press will renumber February , 1848 , and Julv , 1330 . The Constitution is violated ! The underfed , editors of the Peuple consequently propose that an invitation shall be addressed to all the representatives of the people who persisted m abstaining from voting on the bill on clubs ; to all the editors of the republican press ; to all the president and secretaries of clubs ; to all members of

      electoral Committees , and all citizens who may wish to tata part in this solemn protest , to unite on the day on which the law on the clubs shall be proclamtd , and immediately provide the means of organisin g resistance to arbitrary power . Por this purpasea club shall be opened under the provisions of the law of 28 di July , 18 * 8 . The place , day and hour ef meeting , the names of presidents , vicepresisk-uis , and secretaries , shall lie announced in advau-c ? by the journals . The citizens who desire to befang to the club must present themselves withoat arms ; any annsd demonstration will be severely interdicted . It is not a battle which we have to

      give to the government , autres temps aulres mceurs . The yc'iyle act politically in these days—they no longer fuht . It is an act of legal resistance which Las to 5 w accomplished . The club , therefore , will await the summonses of the cmninissaries of police it will respond to those summonses by invoking the text « t the law and the constitution , and will only cede afifr three times repeating its protest force The attcntat accomplished , the citizens should withdraw , and prepare between themselves other means

      of resistance . Thesa means . vill he the following : —1 . Refusal of the taxes . 2 . Refusal of Military service . 3 . Refusal to obey citations and judgments of court- and tribunals , all summonses of business , requisitions of the public prosecutor , warrants of examining magistrates , commissions of agents of judicial antbarity . 4 . Refusal of obedience to all the decrees and ordinances emanating from the central government / Le Peuple was again seized on Friday .

      The Democratic Association of the friends of the Constitution have signed the following protest against ihe bill relative to the clubs : —• Considering that in a free country the right of association is inalienage and imprescriptible , that this sacred right is gua anteed by the 8 th article of the Constitution , that the project of law against clubs presented by the Minisiry is an attempt against that right , we protest with energy against that violation of the Constitution , and we hope that the representatives of the people will reject the project of law . —Buchez , President ; Lebellonge , Grevy , Dsgouee , and Deomnre ? .

      La Rofarme contains the following declaration : — ' The first article of the pr » j ? ct of law against the dabs violates the 8 th article of the Constitution . It is a direct attempt against the right of meeting and association , and an attack against the Republic . The representatives who have abstained performed their duiy , and are entreated to persevere .

      Paris , Sunday . —ihe Assembly , after post hour last evening , brought to a close the debate of the la . v on the dubs , which was finally adopted . The third and conclusive reading will take place after five cl ? ar days . By this law clubs are interdicted , but public meetings for the discussion of political subjects which have not the character imputed ro clubs by the present law will be permitted . According to the present law , a club is an organised tody having a president , vice-presidents , and secretaries , the meetings of which are periodical and public , and the debates of which extend to any and all political questions which its members may from time to time propose . The meetings which this law

      permits , if tne society be public , must not be periodical , nor must the society be permanently organised . In a word the intention of the law is to tolerate occasional public meetings , which may bs convoked for especial purposes , which purposes must be duly announced and previously notified to the police . But the law also permits the existence of associations regularly organised , with periodical meetings ; the public not to be admitted , but the number of members of the association to be unlimited . These societies may discuss political subjects . They must , however , notify their organisation , presidents , secretaries , &c ., to the police , the agent of which may lie present .

      It is contended that tms law will have no other effect « Iian to abolish the name of ' club . ' The Clubs will Still exist as private societies . The purposes of agitation will be accomplished partly by the publication of their proceedings , but more by their power uuder the first part of the law of declaring their meetings public , whenever it suits their purpose to do so . Being private societies in general , they will b come from time to time public meetings , and thus attain all the objects , and- accomplish ail the mischief imputed to the clubs . — Daily Neics . Excited State of Paeis . —On Saturday afteruoen and evening attrouj > emeni& were collected in various quarters . The town was patrolled by strong detachments both of cavalry and infantry during the night .

      Paris , Sunday Evening . —To-day a great number of troops are under arms , and there are some fears of disturbance ; bat the snow , vthich has been falling all day , will probably cool the courage of any persons who may be inclined to disturb the public peace . —Morning Chronicle . The Choltjra . —II . Blin de Boudon , representative of the people , a Legitimist in politics , and a most devoted adherent of Henry V ., died a faw days ago , of cholera . The Ttkants Defeated . —Le Peuple Souoerain of Lyons , which was prosecuted by the Attorney-Gen ? ral for an article containing an attack on Marshal Bugeaud , has been acquitted .

      The Socialists axd their Orgau . —The journal of M . Proudhon is now regularly seized every day . The apostle of Socialism declares that he will persevere , and that , in the end , this proceeding , instead of damaging himself , will ruin the government . ' The Socialists , ' writes the Times correspondent , ' continue unwearied and undismayed in their exertions to seduce the army ; and I have some reason to believe that the goxermnent wvU soon be obliged to adopt still more energetic measures than heretofore to put a stop to the spread of the

      pestilence , at least , so far as the army is concerned . I am assured that , for some weeks past , M . Proudhon ' s journal , Le Peuple , has been circulated at the jate of from 30 , 009 to 40 , 000 numbers daily , and that means of every kind are used to ensure their delivery in the barracks of the principal cities of France . Where the funds are procured to defray the expenses of so large a supply of that noxious drug , it is difficult to say , but the fact is so . Socialist agents , disguised as servants , commis-voyaoeurs , &c , labour earnestly in the mission . '

      The Jtjxe Insurrection . —A woman named JLeblanc was tried by court-martial in Paris , on Tuesday , for having taken an active part in aid of the insurgents of June . She was sentenced to hard labour for ten years . Spread of Socialism in the Army . —A priyate soldier named Claverie , of the 9 th Regiment of Light Intantry , was arrested on Saturday night , whilst on guard at the War Office . He was lodged in the military prison of the Abbaye . He is charged ¦ wi th having publicly avowed himself a Socialist . Two sergeants of the 26 th regiment of the line were also arrested in Par is on the same day charged with a similar offence . Efty-five artillery men were ttreslefl tins morning for having espied opinions Of the same kind . They are to be sent to Algeria . THE TRIAL OE THE REPUBLICAN CHIEFS .

      Bouhge 3 , March 21 . —After the examination of several witnesses , a M . Hutteau d'Origny gave evidence , and in the course of his statement said , he perfectly remembered hearing a man Staading near to Barbes , demand ' two hours pillage of Paris . This remark again brought the prisoner Barbes to las feet , to protest energetically against the asser-

      Untitled Article

      t ; t > : i . lie said it was most . extraordinary , seeing that t'ie rfprflseniaiives who had given their evidence had positively di dared their having heard nothing of it . The witness repeated in the most positive manner tiiat he heard the words . Barbes : Was the cry uttered by more than one person ? Witncs : 1 only beard it from one . Barbes : M . Buchcz has declared ihat lie heard nothing of it . Witness : M . Buchez , perhap ? , did not hear what we were saying lo him . Barbes * . And why not ? Witness : You will excuse my replying to that question . Barbes The deposition of the witness appears very extraordinary , and has some analogy to that given by the representative Point relative to my friend Raspail .

      It is more than ten months that the examination has been going on , and yet it is at this audience , for the first time , that a fact has been asserted against which we must protest . President : M . Poin did not depose before the examining magistrate . Barbes : It is important to remark thai the woi ds said to have been uttered in the presence of the witness were not heard by several of the representatives not by the short-hand writers . President Prisoner Barbes , I do not understand why you attach so much importance to these words . It is evident that you are not responsible for the 100 , 000 men who composed the manifestation . Barb es Your remark , M . le President , is very just .

      Raspail : But we do not wish the name of Frenchman to be sullied by such an aspersion . President - But you could not prevent the cry of a violent and senseless man . Easpail : We are perfectly convinced of thflt i and it was therefore unnecessary io have inserted the words in the indictment , which has rectived immense publicity . Procureur-General : It was inserted in the indictment because we found it in the Moniteur . Witness said that he was positive as to the fact . He had mentioned it to several persons , and , among- the- rest , to M . Theuon . M . Thenon was recalled , and confirmed the fact of the words having been mentioned to him . Barbes : It is clearly proved that I did not make use of the

      words . My fellow-prisoner , Raspail , has done right in saying that the Republican party is not responsible for the expresion . Procureur-General : We cannot allow any remarks about distinction of parties to he used here , nor any allusions as to whether it was Republicans who attacked the Assembly or who defended it . It was , on the contrary , the true Republicans who opposed those engaged in the manifestation . Blaxqui : ( with great warmth ) The true Republicans are these who risked their liberty and their lives to establish the Republic . Procureur-General : And who wished to overthrow it when it was established ! Blanqui : ( continuing ) Whilst our adversaries , who have always opposed it , are

      those who are now desirous to overthrow it . Procureur-General : No . Blanqui : No » That is mere hypocrisy ! M . Demonty , a representative of the people , deposed tnat be bad heard Louis Blanc deliver a speech the object of which was to calm the irritation of the people . He could not recollect the exact words he made use of , but the speech concluded with "Withdraw ; do not violate your propp . r sovereignty . " Barbes afterwards spoke , but he could only distinguish the word " Withdraw . " A young man had used threatening language towards

      Barbes , and had handed him his card . He heard Raspail read the Polish petition . One of the representatives wished to prevent him , bilt others exclaimed , " You are imprudent ; allow him to do it . " The last words he heard Raspail utter were , " Withdraw , or I shall say you are bad citizens , bad Republicans . * ' Witness afterwards heard Blauqui speak ; his address was not at all of a pacific character ; it was rather calculated to irritate the minds of the people against the rich . Witness heard a person , who , be was told , was Huber , pronounce the dissolution of the Chamber . Witness did not

      know anything of him further than having learnt his name . — M . Ginoux deposed , that he was at the Assembly after its dissolution had been pronounced by Huber . At tnat time the Chamber was nearl y filled with National Guards and Gardes Mobiles General Courtais was standing on a bench , endeavouring to make himself beard . The general ' s efforts met with the greatest opposition , but witness heard him say , "In the name of people , I command the National Guard to leave the Assembly . " The witness added that it was be who disarmed the

      general , exclaiming , "This is the sword of a traitor . ' —General Courtais : Wretch ! — The President : Prisoner , you cannot be allowed to insult a witness . —Barbes : The exclamation of the general was but the expression of a natural indignation . — The President , addressing Barbes : Your observation was uncalled for . — General Courtais : I am an old soldier , M . le President , and it is only natural that I should feel indignant at such an exclamation . —President : Prisoner Courtais , you must retract the offensive word you have made use of towards the witness . —General Courtais : I retract all

      that may impede the progress of the proceedings . — M . de Fitzjames heard General Courtais request the National Guard to retire , as the Assembly could not deliberate during iheir presence . An outburst of indignation then took place . The general was accused of treason , and many of the National Guards rushed upon the general . Fearing that some violence would be doae to his person , the witness sprang forward to protect him . The general was afterwards withdrawn from the Assembly by his aide-de-camp , but finding obstacles opposed to his egress , the general returned , and bravely faced those who threatened him—General Courtais : The

      witness has forgotten to mention one circumstance , which was that the witness had received a bayonet wound while he was defending him . — M . ds Fitzjames : I only did my duty , and what you would have done had you been similarly placed . —M . Gazotte de Mortfleury , governor of the Palais National , was next examined . He deposed that the prisoner Vilain , the president of a club called ' Droits del'Homme , ' had applied to him on the part of Caussidiere , bringing a letter from that person , begging the witness to give them a room to assemble in . but he had refusid , without an order from the Minister of Public Works . Vilain had afterwards received permission to have a bed in the

      Palais National , with seven other persons . Sobner had , after some time , applied to have a room there for a club , but witness had refused him . Sobriei and his club , however , took forcible possession of a room , and he ( witness ) wrote to the Minister o < Public Works on the subject , but received » o answer . Clubs , presided over by Barbes and Huber , had also held sitting ? there . Huber ' s was the Club des Clubs , and always had guards at their door , with orders not to allow any strangers to enter . Witness could not say , from his own knowledge , that cartridges were made in the Ciub Huber , but it was generally reported ia the Palais that such was the case .

      The proceedings on the 22 nd were not important . March 23 rd . —After the evidence of M . de Tracy , Minister of Marine , Colonel Bourdon , and Colonel DaJapras , M . Guinard , former ' y chief of the staff of the National Guard , declared thtt be considered the orders given on that occasion sufficient . Guinard's evidence was favourable to the prisoner Vilain , and also to Barbes . The latter interrupted him by crying oul , ' Mon ami , I make no defence . Do not , therefore , I pray you , speak of my name . ' To which the other replied , ' You may rely on it . 1

      will say nothing to wound your noble heart . '—Clement Thomas , ex-Colonel of the 2 nd , and Forestier , Colonel of the 6 th Legion , also deposed to the same effect . —Madame Darronttz deposed , that she was in the habit of attending Blanqui ' s Club , and on the 13 th heard the manifestation freely discussed there . Blanqui was moderate in his language , and expressed himself as opposed to the manifestation . —Thepri soner Raspail complained that the imprudence of Huber in dissolving the assembly had compromised their sacred cause . —Several other witresses were called , but their evidence was not of much

      importance . March 24 th . —Nearly the whole of the witnesses gave their evidence in favour of General Courtais , accused of having facilitated the entrance of the National Assembly te the rioters on the 15 th of May . Monday , March 26 . —The proceedings were interesting , owing to the examination of MM . Gamier Pages , Marie , and Pagnerre , member ? of tbe Provisional Government . Tbeir evidence was rafter favourable to the prisoner General Courtais ,

      of whom they expressed a high opinion . Three colonels of the National Guard declared that they had considered his instructions on the night of the 14 ih sufficient , without waiting for further orders . The proceedings were also interrupted by Blanqui , Bathes , and Sobner . The list of witnesses was exhausted at half-past one o ' clock . The proceedings were suspended , and resumed at two o ' clock , when the Procureur-General commenced the recapitulation of the evidence . A man in the gallery , who insulted the Procureur in the course of bis address ,

      was condemned to twenty-four hours' imprisonment . The prisoner Degre paid no attention to the proceedings ; he was , as usual , employed in sketching portraits . The Court adjourned at six o ' clock . Tuesday . Match 27 . —The Advocate-Genera

      GERMANY . Rejection of Wei-cher ' s Motion . —Resig . vatiok- OF THE Von Gagern Ministry . —Iii the sitting of the Frankfort Parliament of the 21 st iast ., the adjourned debate on M . Welcker ' s motion , to appoint the King of Prussia hereditary Emperor of Germany , was continued ; and alter MM . Itorner and Schwler had addressed the House in opposition to M . Welcker ' s motion , the House divided on the amendment proposed by the minority uf the committee , viz ., —that the House should pass from M . Welcker ' s motion and proceed to the order of the day ; and the numbers were found to be—for the amendment ,

      267 ; aeainst it , 277 . — -The House divided next on the motion of tne committee in favour of M . Welcker's proposal , and this motion was rejected by a majority Of thirty votes ; the numbers being—for the motion 252 , against it 282 . The House received this result at first with silence , which was , however , soon broken by expressions of trium ph and disappointment from the adverse parties , and the latter part of this all-important debate , which was to

      decide the weal and woe of tbe vast German country , was stormy !; eyond all expression . How it came that M . Welcker ' s motion was thrown out is even now a riddle to the very men wko voted against it , and the only fact which can in a manner explain the mystery ia the increased number of Austrian members that took their seats in the parliament while the question was pending . No less than 110 Austrians voted in the division , only eighty of whom had formerly sat in St . Paul's Church .

      We learn from the Frankfort papers that immediately after the vote of the parliament against M . Welcker ' s motion the Ministers of the Empire sent in their resignation to the Regent . VIENNA . —Three of the so-called ' murderers of Count Latour were hanged on Saturday morning last , ou the glacis between the 4 S . chotten' and ' Neu' city gates . The erowd was , as may be supposed , immense , but not the least disturbance took place . Two others have been sentenced to twenty years' hard labsur . A summary account of the evidence produced against these five criminals , as also their confessions before the tribunal , have been published in tbe official paper .

      THE WAR IN HUNGARY . The Novine , an Angram paper , under d ate or the 15 th , states that the Servians Wad just given battle to the Imperialists at Hatzfeld , in the Banat , because the latter wanted to dissolve voluntarily the Servian national committee there A report is added that the Magyars had got possession of Hermannstadt , and that the Russian and Austrian army had retreated . Further , that the Hungarian war was taking a turn still more disastrous against the Austrians , and that the younger son of Windischgratz had been taken prisoner by the Magyars . A crisis was inevitable in the South-Sclavonian districts .

      Jellachich sustained a defeat on the 10 th . He tried to drive the Magyars from Szolnok , but he was driven back with considerable loss both of men and guns . The Hungarian general Perczel had entered Pentele , about thirty English miles from Ofen , on the right bank of the Danube , at the head of 10 , 000 men ; 400 imperial soldiers were driven out of Foldvar , on the Danube , by the village peasantry . The operations on the left bank go on very slowly -, and it seems that the main corps of the Hungarian army is on the point of . being transferred to the right bank . To spare Pesth from a borabardaient , the main attack will be made on Ofen , after the capture of which that of Pesth must follow . Jellachich had suffered another defeat at Jassbering .

      THE WAR IN ITALY . Tbe Piedmontese Gazette , of tbe 17 th inst ., publishes a degree of Prince Eucene de Savoie Carginon , ordering a levy , en masse , of all the able-bodied citizens of all the Lombardo-Venetian provinces , from eighteen to forty years of age . A bulletin was published at Turin , on the 21 st , by the Minister of the Interior , announcing the passage of the Ttcino and the march of the Piedmontese

      army into Lombardy . The head-quarters of . the King were at Trecate , a small towa on the Piedmontese bank of the Ticino , close to -the roarl leading from Novara to Milan . It was by the bridge upon this road , leading to Biiffalora , that the army crossed the river . The passage was unopposed , the Austrians having retired from that point . Thft ro ' ad to Milan was reported to have been crowded with the Austrians and their baggage and ammunition in full retreat .

      Advices had been received from VogV . era of an attack made by the Austrians upon the Piedmoniese , who defended , the bridge of Mezzana-Corte , near Pavia . The Austrians were repulsed , after which the Piedmontese partially destroyed the bridge . This news was received by telegraph from Alexandria on the 21 st . > The Austrians are said to have evacuated Pa \ ia , and retired on Lodi , where Radetzsky was concentrating his army , with the intention of giving battle to the Piedmontese , in the hope that a victory would open to him tbe road to Turin . The Ruffian Radetski . — The ' Milan Gazette' of the 15 th inst . announces that au individual , named Legati , in whose house arms and ammunition were found concealed , had been sentenced to death and executed .

      The Milan Gazette' publishes two proclamations ot Radetski , dated the 17 th , one addressed to the inhabitants of Milan the other to those of the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom at large . In the former , Radetski informs the Milanese that he leaves the city to carry the war upon the enemy ' s territory ; but to tranquillise the pacific inhabitants , he informs them that he leaves a sufficient garrison and a well provided citadel . He hopea that Milan will remain quiet ; a second army heiwg ready to fight for the rights of his sovereign . They have , be says , already felt the consequences of rebellion , but let them beware of a second attempt ; the punishment would not fail to follow speedily and unrelentingly ; for he

      is strong enough to crush every internal enemy , and to fight the external one . The second proclama . tion is nearly of the same tenor ; he warns the inhabitants of Lombardy and Venice not to give ear to the perverse party , which only awaits the resumption of hostilities to excite new disorders . Let them recollect bis moderation in victory ; let them not force him to show them his strength ; punishment would fall quick as lightning upon every province , town , or commune that would dare to harass the rear of hisanny . The emperor offers them liberal institutions . Let them not , blinded by fanaticism , reject them . Let them cast a glance upon unfortunate Rome and Tuscany , and see the consequences ot a powerful government .

      The' Gazette' of Genoa , of the 20 th inst . says :-' Letters from Milan say that Radetski , after having despoiled the churches and pillaged the public funds , has imposed a contribution of two millions on the city , to be paid in twenty-four hours . ' Twe Battles . —A letter from Vercelli of the 22 nd , 3 o ' clock a . m ., states , on the faith of persons coming from tbe Lomellina , that on the 21 st two engagements took place at the same time : one in the vicinity of Vigevano , the other in that of Mortara . In the former the Piedmontese had been the victors , and made 1 , 500 prisoner * in the latter , which lasted till it was quite dark , the Piedmontese had been obliged to retire .

      A letter from Turin of the 23 rd contains an Official bulletin , published on the morning of that day at Turin , by the Minister of the Interior . It appears that the first of these affairs took place near Galaaco and Gambolo , two villages about half-way between Mortara and the river . In these affairs the Piedmontese troops are reported as having sustained the attack without giving way , although no success is claimed for them . In the evening , about sunset , another engagement took place near to Mortara , from which the advance of the Austrians may be inferred . The report of the result of this confirms the intelligence we announced yesterday . The Piedmontese were forced to retreat , and the Austrians occupied Mortafa . The head quarters of the King were removed from Trecato to Novara , where they were established on the 23 rd .

      Further despatches dated Twin , ttlS evening Of the 23 rd , add but little that is important . They say advices received from the camp state , that the divisions of the -Duke of Genoa and General Bes had fallen on the enemy and beaten him , making a great number of prisoners . This news is confirmed by a letter arrived by way of Verceii , and dated to-day , wherein it is said that the Austrians have been beaten at two points .

      rom THE TUSCAN REPUBLIC—The electoral operations commenced on the 12 th , and , according to the' Constituente Italiana , ' were carried on with the greatest order and decorum . A few days before Hie government had reviewed the National Guard of Florence , on which occasion Signor Guerazzi made a speech ' exposing the falsehood of the scandalous assertions of the foreign retrograde press . Th , e mili . tarv replied with repeated cries of' Evviva la liepublica ! ' and Unione a Roma !' The Tuscan government published a decree on the 16 th , levying a forced loan upon rich capitalists . An income exceeding 1 , 000 scudi ( 5 , 700 f . ) shall pay

      fourteen per cent ., an i so in proportion up to fifty per cent , upon incomes above 10 000 scudi i A letter from Florence of the 20 th states that preparations for war are going on-with the greatest activity . The Provisional Government has decreed the immediate organisation of a Polish legion of 2 , 000 men . The colours of this corps will be the Tuscan flag , with the white eagle of Poland . NAPLES AND SICILY—The Hellespont , which

      left Palermo on tbe 15 th . brought the intelligence of the definitive rupture of the negotiations opened between the Sicilian government and the French and English admirals .

      THE ROMAN REPUBLIC . —The correspondent of the Daily Neius writing concerning the threatened Spanish invasion of the Roman States says : —If Queeft Isabella expects to conquer tins territory single-handed ( as I learn to be the project of the Times ) , she may as well try to subjugate her father ' s colonies of Chili aud Peru or-Mexico . Not a Spaniard who se ) s foot on this coast has a chance ct return . The Daily News correspondent writes , on the 14 th , that Garibaldi , who , to the frantic terror cf Ferdinand , is hovering over Ms frontier , has just

      put forth a proclamation , so violent as to cause the Roman Executive to leave the responsibility of it to the great condottiere ,. and hold themselves unaccountable . He is clamorous to be allowed , with a detachment of 3 , 000 picked men , to raise a rebellion \ n the Abruzzi , which is quite ripe for insurrection ; anrl talks of regulating the terms of ' intervention ' at the gate of Naples . In point of fact , the earthworks thrown up , and the hurried barricades on all tbe roads leading northwards , show that the Neapolitan Tiberius is more apprehensive of an aggression , than intent on attack .

      CANADA . Poi-mcAt , Excitement . — A great uproar has been raised in Canada by the introduction of a measure into the Legislature , on the part of the Executive Government , for indemnifying those inhabitants of Lower Canada who were sufferers by the rebellion of 1837-8 . It was proposed to grant the sum of £ 100 , 000 out of the revenue of the United Province , for the losses of all sufferers who had not actually been convicted of rebellion ; and the precedent of the compensation already granted to the sufferers by the rebellion in Upper Canada was relied on in justification of the measure . The opposition

      was headed by Sir Allen M'Nab and Mr . Sherwood , aud substantially rested on two grounds : it was assumed that the compensation was to be partly received by notorious , though uneonvicted rebels , for the losses they themselves had caus d by rebellion j and the charge was laid upon the provincial revenues ; whereas , the compensation of the Upper Canadian claims had been laid on district revcnues . The supporters of the measure replied , that the Upper Canadian measure bad been resisted by the then opposition , on the express ground that the Lower Canadian losses were not then also compensated ,

      aud it was agreed to only when the claims of the latter were recognised : that , in fact , the measure is only the carrying out of the proposals of the Mttcalf Government ; and that the class of persons to be compensated are described by the same terms used in the Upper Canadian Claims Act : they answer the objection as to charging the provincial revenue , by calculations showing that the appointment ofjelative charges at the . union of the provinces was unequal , and such as to justify the imposition of this charge on provincial resources , as a set-off . The measure was debated with extreme heat in the

      House of Assembly ; scenes even of personal conflict on one occasion rendering an adjournment imperative . ¦ Resalutions were passed by a majority of fifty-nine to twenty . Meetings of the Loyalists were held in all directions , and the most infuriate language was used . Sir Allan M'Nab , addressing a mob at Montreal , who wreaked their vengeance on the proposer of the measure , M . Lafontaine , the head of -Lord Elgin's Administration , by burning him in e % y , said : — ' If the measure were forced upon the country , it would be a question for the people of Upper Canada to consider whether it would not be better for them to be governed by the people on the other side of the river , than by a French Canadian majority .
