Lanjuinais cdijUMjuei^ —For three days pait you ha*e witnelied a tlion \ land irregularities and disorders : an ambitious power has raffed lifelf by your fide ; ic has revived the troubles which it on the fir It day affected to appeal'e. Nothing has been rcfpedted, not even the inviolable feerecy of lec ters—they have prevented my re ceiving from the coinuiuue and ten uous of Rennes, a letter which de dales that 1 have defervcd well df my country. [Here Lanjuinais was : ltoppe'd by murmurs and hootings.] Drotiei — I affirm that the fatt ad vanced by Lanjuinais is falfe, and that the secrecy of letteVs ha*' not been violated. The Ditec r torof the poll is piefcnt, let hia» be Wtfard. Lanjuinais rcfunies bis speech—A new committee has usurped the func tions of tlie executive council; many other committees have in like man ncr afiumed the placet of theconfti to;ed authorities. The revolution ary committees of the fetftions con tinue 10 exercise the powers which you have declared not to belong to liieui. A provisional commandant has been named contrary, to law ; a new iiene is in pi epaiation ; you will wirnefs it in a few hours. On Ttour-Way 1 predicted what would take place—prui* this day by my predictions. Yellerday you were prcfenied wiih a new lilt of pro fcciptions; what have you done, you have referred it to the commit tee of public fafety—and thereby annulled the decree which declared the address presented against 22 of your colleagues to be calumnious. [Loud clamours here again inter rupted Lanjuinais ; Legendre and fonte other members rufhirig for ward to the Tribune; the tumult continues, the Prefiderit put on his hat; order is reftoi ed with difficul ty]— Lanjuinais concludes, by-de manding ihat the revolutionary au thorities ellablifhed in Paris^' sos" three days part, should be abolished, that their aJts fhopld be annulled ; ; and that henceforth any perfoii who should ufurpan illegal power,fhould- 5 i be declared without the protection of the law, and that any Citizen might put him to death. The debate was here interrupted —the Prelidenc announced a depu tation from the forty eight seCtions, and from all the conftiluted autho rities of Paris, demanding to .be heard at the bar—admission was in rtantly decreed, the deputation pre sented ihemfelves, and he who spoke f on their behalf, said— Deputies of the people—during four days the people of Paris have not quitted their arms, the peace is preierved, and their, perleveraiiie applauded—but the pillars of the ; temple are fliook, the counter-revo ' lutionifts have, dared to ralfe their ' heads, let them however tremble,: ' the thunder is lTeartl, and it w+tt- [ ' quickly confound and dettroy ttjern.

[Loud ap plauses.] The Aflembly, after con , i'ultatioii, refers the petition to the committee of public lafety. f After coiifulting when the report i fliould be made, it was ordered to e be within two days—The deputies r of the provisional commune after 1 this order withdrew, in the'rnittft s of reiterated appUufes. s Cambon—The committee of pub -4 lie fafery are now aflembled, aiid if I you will give us half an hour, we will prefer.t you the measures ne ceflary to save the Republic. c Richou, made a motion, for a de s cree for a provisional arrefi of the ; deputies who had been denounced, ■ in order thereby to prevent Uiemif -1 fortunes with which they weie 1 threatened—the tumult continues.

Barreire had permiffionto present meafnres to be adopted for the pub lic fafety—he proposed to the de put res who itood denounced, l<> make a facrifice of their rights to the public fafety, and to.deposit, for a time, their powers upon the altar of their country —You are not igno rant, said he, addressing himfelf to them, that your presence interrupts our deliberations, and flops the la bors of the Convention—give to lyour cqnftituents this mark of your love of your country, and thecoun try shall be saved. He finally pro . posed the following decree : tft. The National Aflembly pro nounces the suspension of the mem bers who have been the caufeof ilte inquietudes of the people. 2d.
