The following (from the New York American) is one of the ridiculous scenes that constantly occur in the debates of the French Chamber; they render the perusal of them more amusing, although not quite as edifying, as the solemn deliberations of our own national representatives:—

The cries on the right side redouble. A long interruption. Many deputies on the right side rise and address the orator and the President, who in vain exerts himself to obtain quiet. The deputies on the left rise, and demand silence.

A voice on the left.—Hold your tongue Monsieur Puymarin.

M. Manuel—If Mr. Puymarin will express himself in an intelligible voice, I shall be able to answer him.

The President incites the chamber to preserve silence, and not to interrupt the orator.

M. de Villele rises, and at first makes signs to those who are speaking to be silent; he then addresses them with great vehemence. (The tumult continues.)

M. Delalot leaves his place, and addressing the President.

M. Dudon is in great agitation, and interrupts the orator.

M. Dupadieu leaves his place in great agitation: he speaks with great vehemence, and addresses at one time Mr. Manuel, at another the President, and then the left side; the noise did not permit him to be heard,

The President demands silence, and says—“The orator is in order: if he wanders from it. I shall know how to fulfil my duties as President.” (Renewed noise.)

M. Piet is in extreme agitation,

A voice from the left.—M. Piet, compose yourself! come and preside over the Assembly. (Prolonged laughter on the left.)

The President again demands silence.

“In order (says he) that I may know with a certainty whether the orator wanders from the question, it is necessary that I should hear him.”
