PARIS, TRVIUIDAT EVINTNO.
Yesterday the Council of State held an important
debate upon the bill for regulating the responsibility
of the executive power. Three plans have been
proposed: one by M. Renneville, in strict con-
formity with the constitution ; the next by
M. Rouher, tending to make the President, as
under the monarchic system, an inviolable and
I irresponsible agent ; the third by the committee, com-
bining the character of the two others, in accordance
with the spirit of the constitution. At the close of
the debate the principle of M. Renneville's bill was
adopted. In the course of the debate a question was
mooted which is at the present moment of the
highest importance, and stands in close connection
with the report of M. de Tocqueville. The case of
responsibility was put, in which the President should
provoke the subversion of the 45th article of the
constitution. The bill of M. Renneville woald in
this case subject the head of the executive to im-
peachment for high treason by tho high court of
Justice. After a very animated discussion this clause
of the bill was adopted by 18 votes against 9.
General Baragnay d'Hilliers has resigned his office
of commander-in-chief of the army of Paris. The
Cusatitalionnel says that this step, which has stirred
some sensation, is simply the necessary result of the
rule which prevents representatives from receiving a
mission for more than six months consecutively.
M. Pepin-Lehalleur, a leading Bonapartist, is sure
of being returned for the Seme-et-Marne, having
obtained 22,676 votes out of 29,637.
General Fabvier yesterday gave notice of a motion
foe the election of the Constituent Assembly by uni-
versal suffirage, in case the revision should be voted.
M. do Laboulie has been appointed reporter on
the departmental province of the Municipal Bill.

ROMAN STATES.

Our correspondent at Rome in his letter of the
4th, sends us the important intelligence that the
King of Naples disembarked on the evening of the
2nd at Porto d'Anzio, where he was received by Car-
dinal Antonelli and the ministers of his holiness.
His Majesty proceeded on the following day, under
an escort of Roman dragoons to Castel Gandolfo,
where he had a long conference with the Pope. He
returned to Porto d'Anzio, and re-embarked the same
evening.
The negotiations for the withdrawal of the French
troops from Rome are continued. Ferdinand offers to
garrison the Pope's capital with 10,000 Neapolitan
troops; and the Austrians are said to be willing, in
deference to the French government, to withdraw
their troops from Umbria, and concentrate them at
Bologna and in the Legations. 'Mho French, on
their side, are desired to withdraw to (lite Vecchia.
