FRANCE.

PARIS, FRIDAY, 7 Lot.
Great importance is attached to the declaration of
M. Thiere at the meeting of the Fatty of order at the
club of the Conseil d'E'at, that the majority ehr.uld
support, without nictitation and without timers
',emir?, the es-abiishment of the republic. I am
enatikal to cited vcu a r authentic report of the mar-
row of M. Thiers' spe,:eta on this occasion.
M. T.:iera teiniu:h d his auditors that he had
already declared at the tribune that the republican
goverrment was that which created least division
amongst the people of France. He thought it politic
and rectesary to support it, and to do to so enequtvo-
cal'y es to leave as doubt as to the intent.r ni of the
majority. That w hich he then stated to the meeting
he was ready, be pail, to repeat at the tribute.
Would all the members aho thought themselves
bound to represent a party act as he did? weld they
undertake to do this? Would they ebi.ndon their
regrets and their e. to concur in the nro_t effica-
cious manner in the defetce cf society ?
The chief flees of to-day is that the debate on the
Av'g,,o3 Railway Bill Ire been adjourned, in order to
give the ministers time to breathe. The vote of jes-
ter+.y by influenced the fonds to day lets than was
expected. Bat the emnession to two companies was
already foreseen, and the conviction that M. Cumbarel
de &years amendment would pass by a coitsidemble
uujmdy, cai.sed by ent:cipati al on mt ..rday's Bourse
that fall which wax apprehended in the price+ of to.
day. Tule, at haat, is the Tea!oa assipeal f r a dip
of 30 ceotimes in the Flees. The moat notable
feature in the proceedings of yesterday was the cud-
den itstiact of silif-prta•rvati exhiba dby the go-
vet, meat when it totted the question going against
them. No aooner did the rock of eefeat loam on the
alarmed vision of M. Bineau than with au alacrity,
more prudent than dignified, he put the helm emu
and notified to the Assembly teat the ministry
would agree to two separate cornimnies :
bat these two companies must be asiielaires,
or jointly responsi tle for the execution of the whole
line. Tuns :he mit Were abandoned tfeir flr-t line
of b-ttle to fall back upon the ee ond, and begged to-
day for time to entrench themselves in their new
position. Now the government, ever since last
August, has insisted upon the necessity of grantirg
the line to one company, for pretty mo,h the earns
rearm that a butcher p'ear's for not peparating the
meat frcm the bone, but selling bc:h tog, then What
company, in fact will tyke the lean railway from
Lyons to Avignon, without a slice of the fat ore from
Paris to Lyon.. The propose' of M. Bineau, the
INlinipter of Public work., is just the port of sot of
which L.ban p-op:a d bet veen Richtl end Leah.
Still the comp.tinon apeieLeud,d f.o.n .1e• Rhone
navigation seems to be Emewhat exagat rated. Every
bode knows that the caprices of the Rhone r i der the
norfgation of that riv r mare uncertain than that of
almost. any other oft goal importance. The sitting of the National Assembly fo•day opened
with the ad.riseion, without debate, of MM. Barba-
roux and Overland, appointed representatives for the
d-partmer tof Vienne. At the reveot of the Ml-
ni,ter of Public Works, the debate or. the Avignon
Railway B'll was la:jot:rued for some days, In order
to give time for the preparation for the pr. p ashen
of two diatinet estimates for the two vaginae ice. It
appears that the government is not pirg to with-
drew the bill, notwithstanding the ehttlt received
yeirerday. The debate on the budg.t is also ad-
journed at the solicitation of M. Berry-en the repirter
of the committee, who found that he sto d in want et
some documents which he bad not brought with
him. After an uninteresting debate up m the o: der
of the day, the Assembly discussed the propriety of
taking into consideration the proposition of M. Na-
daud, tending to abolish Art. 1,731 of the Civil
Code, which declares that the =stir is to
ba believed upon his affirmation as to the
role of a-1W 8 for tho payment of the
salary of the 3ear expired, and for the sums paid on
account fur the current year. At the clue of the
sitting the Assembly derided that the 1 ropcsition of
M. Nadand should b.• taken into consider. ttior. The
division : ape, 381 ; ems, 231. The number of
votes wee, therefore, 612, and the majority 307. It
will, however, I hear, be found to-morrow that this
large majority was occasioned by a miscoreeption of
the voters, wt,o did rot know that the they were
voting fur the taking into consideration of the propo-
sition.

'l'o day the President of the Republic started at
mid-day for Versailles. He was accompanied by the
minister of war, General Neomager, end others. The
troops of the garrison were drawn up in the Arenue
de Paris, under the command of Gair ral C \vrighao.
General Grouchy commanded the brigade of cavalry.
Louis Napoleon then passed the tr tops is r, view.
The committee charged to examine the measure on
stamps on onamervial bills and transfers et rants
have ter:sleeted the exemination of the ant, iidmen tit
proposed since tl.e second reading. It hsa in iiiituined
its re.clation in what concerns the tranfers es rente.
M. Deem did all he coAd to obtain the ejection of
the prowsition. After a sharp &suasion, t .o in, tu-
bers changed their view., and sided with the in no-
rity. The third reading will probably come on , cat
neck. It is said that the government is resolvea to
uovn to opp is t the propreeti measure.
The report on the bill to authorise the President of
the Iteiniblie 0 dispcse of the produce of the mans-
lectures of &errs, the Gebelies, and Beauvais, I,,ra
been distributed. 'I he committee states that the value
of the articles at present at 86ties amounts to
2,392,6841 r.; of those at tl-e Gob, lies, 1,933,602 fr.;
at d of the pictures and other articles at Beauvais,
216,497 fr. It doe:tarts that sines the mutter relates
to dieposing gratuitously of property of so such
value, the Assembly ought not to abitrion them alto.
;tether to 'tie free distribution of tie executive power.
to vele,' gutsier, it proposes that in couturitt, a of 16
in, ultras, uominated Uy the bureaux, and renewed
.very year, shall examine and give its api:,rohation to
the decrees of the President, which are to be lined
on the proposition of the Minister of Commerce and
