PARIS, 8011 DAY, HALT-PAST Pm, P.M.
M. Victor Hugo, who setirely disapproved of the
report of M. Thieve on the affairs of Rome, is said to
have exclaimed in the committee " You are no longer
liberal, M. Thiers." " No,' rejoined that gentleman,
"Ism not." There Mat least frankness in this.
The letter of the President, and the eatiments ex-
rartin it, stem not to be thought of. M. Noel
being struck, yesterday, with this het, cried
out, after the report was read, " And the President's
letter!"—upon which there was a shout of " &knee,
Parfait"' which was only broken by the basking
up of the Assembly.
Three things are put forward by M. Thiene, which
are severely characterised in the Press* as =dee-
wilts. First, that the expedition to Rome was under-
takea in view of fully re-establishing the Papal tem-
poral power ; secondly, that the constitution was not
violated by a war, which, whilst it overthrew a re-
public by force of arms, mapped an influents hostile
to liberty ; thirdly, that the inote-propr= published
by Pius was all that could be expected by France,
and was all that it went to Rome for.
" This report," stye La Preto', "not only falsifies
the policy of the undiluted assembly, bat that of the
ministry and of the president oaths republic."
The Constitutiorttort, et course, adopts the entire
sentiments of the report, and bestows high praise on
M. Thiers. The Delats however, cannot share in
the sangsice hope expressed by the report suspecting
the future liberality of Pies the IL
There is no doubt but that if the omissions of the
eanmeittee are approved of by the ministry the presi-
dent must have withdrawn his letter. The debate,
which is to take plea, will, perhaps, explain this.
Yesterday. the committee of initiation met, and
Lard the sainismors' opinion an M. Napoleon Boma-
porta's proposal to being back the Boarbene. The
mummers said that they thought the moment inoppor-
tune sad that the proposal ought to be adjourned.
The ecmunittee decided on drawing up a report is

MOWDAT, 6.30 P.M.
The question of payment of the Deans of Or-
leans' dowry was discussed to-day in the Assembly,
and had resoled in no vote up to post-boar. The
project was opposed by M. Boars= and Joly (Pare)
of the left, and seas opposed by M. L'Herbette, who
wee left speaking.
Omani oourgand excited the ire of the Mountain
by proposing that the =woe of the Duke of Orleans
should be replaced on its pedestal in the court of the
Loewe.
The Dia D•etrabre, which yesterday gars itself up
to a lively panegyric of the impart of M. Thins,
thinks fit to cheese its ophileseismising. It says:
