PARIS, Immix Bessie°.
There appeared last night only one answer pa-
sible to Gen. Changarnier's defiance of the President
in inning the order of the day which I sent you, and
that was his dismissal. That Louis Napoleon burned
with desire to sign the decree ordering this is certain.
His ministers remained in council deep into the night,
deliberating on what should be done. At last they
told the President that such a decree could not pos-
sibly, in the present state of things, be executed in
the teeth of the resistance it would meet from the
parliament, from the army, and from public opinion ;
and that it was far better not to advent* at all than to
advance and then be obliged to retreat. They positively,
declined themselves to undertake the responsibility of
such a measure, and advised for the present measures
of conciliation. The Assembly would meet in the
course of a week ; the question of General Neumayei's
dismissal would be then brought forward, and the
right of the government was so distinct in this case
that a favourable impression might possibly be made
upon public opinion. The presumption of General
Changarnier's order of the day would, in the mean-
time, excite disapprobation among all who were not
animated by a feeling of strong hostility against the
government. These, and such arguments as were
calculated to sprinkle cool patience upon the flame
and heat of the President's distempered mood, were
backed by the counsels of some influential chiefs of
the majority, apparently MM. Mole and Tuiers, who
represented the ruinous cons quencea of divisions in
fees of the hostile attitude of the socialists,
evinced by their abstinence from the municipal
elections. The President allowed himself to be over-
ruled
by these representations, and the parliamentary
chiefs retired. Presently they returned, bringing
General Changarnier to the Elyse°, and a formall
reconciliation took place, the President shaking hands
with him. Although you may rely on the correct-
ness of this fact, I need scarcely add that such a
reconciliation cannot be either sincere or lasting. It
is a necessity of the moment. The President cannot
sit down quietly nudes the blow irifl;cted on him by'
General Changarnier without virtually abdicating.
I announced to you in my despatch of yesterday
that the conflict between the President and Changer-
nier had been greatly sggravattd by the order of the
day read to the troops by command of the latter on
Saturday. The Journal des Dikes hastens to mese
the world this morning, while giving in its commas
this significant document, that it is not likely to be
followed by any further hostility on either side, that
the spirit of conciliation has prevailed, that the fears
which agitated the political world have henceforth no
ground, and that everything announces the end of a
conflict of which anarchy alone could reap the fruits..
This wonderful hush in the thick of battle
has been, according to the same organ, brought
about by some sage elders of the majority
who have been closetted with Louis Napoleon,
and left him in the most pacific humour. I
do not scruple to characterise this picture of the
situation as a complete illusion, and although even a
gross misrepresentation may b.,come excusable when
the object is a general bent fit, such as:the tranquillise-
of the public mind, I must warn you not to place the
least reliance in such flattering colours. Everybody i
knows that it is the policy of the Debate to preach up,
harmony between the various fractions of the party of
order, and to throw a politic curtain around the scan-
dalous broils which divide them. But on this occasion
the task is hopeless. The order of the day of General
Changarnier speaks trumpet-tongued. He has gone
to the very limit of his faculty to strike a blow at the
head of the President. It is the most hostile step
short of civil war which he could possibly take. At
a moment when the commander of the first division is
disgraced for discouraging cries among the troop.,
General Changarnier reminds the troops that such
cries are by the rules of the service forbidden. A
more downright slip in the face to the President it
is impossible to conceive. Such an insult cannot be
answered by reminding General Changarnier that it
was he whii gave the first signal for uttering such
cries upon such occasions, when he assembled around
him all the commanders of the regiments which he
reviewed in the Champ de Mars in April, 1849, and
gave them orders to ery and to cause to be cried in
concert by their soldiers, " Vies Napoleon," forbid-
ding them to add any allusion to the Republic ; or by
asking why, if the commander-in-chief has changed
his mind since that epoch upon this point of military
discipline, he does not urge the punishment of those
colonels who signalised themselves at Satory by
the distinctness of their imperialist demonstra.
time. It is plain that a more resolute and
energetic vindication of his dignity must be
expected from the head of the republic. In France,
of all countries in the world, no man an take the last
Mow without damage of estimation. Public opinion
takes side in this country not so often with the right
es with the courage which backs a pretended right.
Ia thiamin, of ormtliet, as far as equity goes, a great
Mal may be said for, or rather against, both sides.
The President has been imprudent, Changarnier in-
solent. Against the republic one has conspired as
much as the other. If one were much more powerful
Shan the other the conflict between them would be
ihr less serious. The President; might annihilate his
rival with a stroke of his pen, or the commander-in-
chief might lodge Louis Napoleon in Vincennes, and
Francs would not be in the least disturbed by
the settlement in favour of the stronger. Bat
the fact is that both are so equally. matched
as to make the straggle pregnant with violent con-
vulsion to the whole country. One thing is now
certain—that the battle is begun—and there is hardly
more doubt that it will go on until one or other of the
combatants succumb.
The Committee of Permanence holds two sittings
daily, one between one and three, and the other in the
evening, in order to be prepared for any event.
At the meeting of the Committee of Permanence,
nothing took plane beyond mere conversations which
harmed epos the reconciliation effected last night
between the President and Changarnier.

The two Chambers have held their preparatory
meeting to appoint the deputations which will receive
the Queen at the Legislative Palace. M. Mayans is
to be the president of the Chamber of Deputies. The
removal of the rate of siege in Cubs, and the dissolu-
tion of the militia organised upon the occasion of the
expedition of Loper, are hailed as proofs of the com-
plete re-establishment of public confidence in the
colony.
