From PARIS, 9th Det.

One of the most important discussions which has of late engaged the Legislative Body, is undoubtedly that relating to the law of the 3d of Brumaire, by which the relations of Emigrants are excluded from all public functions whatsoever. There are two opinions directly opposite : one for the strict and unqualified adherence to that law, as indispensably necessary to the preservation of a republican form--the other for its entire abrogation, as being contrary to the constitution and to the rights, of citizens : the Council of Five Hundred has adopted the medium between the two opinions.
