It Ito obserekd render that the legitimist',
With Ike single ' eteeption . et M, Fannin, voted
:eall the amendments moved to the secnd sr-
t:the Bleetoral Law. It is reported that many
sincere mu of that party were not left to vote ao-
cording to their 00111101anoss, but were influenced by a
letter of the Duke of Bardeaux to M. Berryer, ex-
pressing the gratification it would afford him to find
r the supporters of his cause united on this question,
ail arrayed on Ow side of the govseament. This is
41•111 of the first imiarrtant symptoms which have sp-
rz2in the le tare of the eoandon effected be-

The representatives of the Haute-Garonne yester-
day waited on the President of the Republic, to re-
quest him to procure a cardinal's hat for Monseigneur
d'Astros, Archbishop of Toulouse. M. de Remind
officiated n spokesman. The prelate is the senior
Archbishop of France.
A tit. Quentin journal states that it is able ton-
nooses with certainty, that the President of the Re-
pubto has promised the prefect to be present at the
inauguration of the railway on Jane 9.
The Marquis de Ware, who has just died, has left a
large fortune, to whioh there are no direct heirs. Oat of
four millions which he possessed he has bequeathed two
millions to the Count de Chambord, and another large
sum to the Prince de Robeeq, Gaston de Montmo-
rency, saying in the will, that the sum was intended
to pay the debts which M. de Montmorency had con-
tracted in doing good.
Some disturbance took place on the 22nd at Goa-
zenucourt, near Cambray, in consequence of a man
named Canis= placing himself in a wine-shop with
a petition against the Electoral Bill before him, and
endeavouring to persuade persons to sire it, using en-
treaty or menace u the case might be. Several persons,
however, expressed their disapprobation of such con-
duct, and the deputy mayor having arrived, re-
, preached Cattiaux with his conduct. A general scene
of disorder ensued, in the course of which Cattiaux
was severely beaten. The next day great agitation
prevailed, and appreher sions were entertained of
a renewal of the disturbance.
Two men, named Dupont and Perret, who are said
to have taken part in the recent democratic socialist
agitation at Valence, have just been arrested and
taken to Lyons. The café Heurter, where the ultra
demagogues were accustomed to meet, has been closed
by order of the military authorities.
• The debate in the Legislative Assembly yesterday
was interrupted by a terrific thunder-storm, which so
darkened the house that the lamps had to be lit. Pierre
Leroax having qualified, in the course of his speech,
Robespierre and Murat all illustrious citizens, was
btited by enraged members, who bawled to him from
the foot of the tribune that he lied, and that his heroes
were infamous scelerats. Dupin said that he could
sot allow the hon. member to apply the term
illutrious" toe couple of atrocious villains, but at
the same time called M. Estancelin to order for his
disorderly attack upon the speaker.
Excellent speeches were made by MM. Dupont de
Busse and Come throwing much light on the pre-
jadicial way in which the domicile clause will work.
To-day the debate was resumed on the separate articles
of the Electoral Law. The discussion opened upon the
third article, which relates to the modes of attesting
the electoral domicile, namely, by amessmeut for the
personal tax, highway duty, or the certificate of mu-
ter or employer. M. Randot opposed the article.
MM. Sain and Larabit moved amendmeats, which
were rejected. M. Monnet proposed an amendment
tending to admit all kinds of evidence calculated to
establish the existence of the principal residence, as
required by Article 2. Nothing can be a better
sample of the unfair dealing of the majority than
their refusal to discuss M. Moaners amendment. M.
Leon Faucher said that the committee opposed the
amendment. M. Monnet is a member of the tiers-
parti. His amendment drives only at facilitating the
proof of three years' domiciliatioo. There can be orly
one motive far throwing out such a proposition, which
is to keep in the hands of the masters and parents of
voters the control over the certificate of domicile
which is given them by the bill, and to reduce
the number of voters qualified as to domiciliation,
by besetting with as many difficulties as possible the
way of attesting the qualification. M. Monnet be-
solght the majority not to drive from their side

members like Himself, who supported their general
policy by manifeatimc an unconciliatory and illiberal
disposition. A voice from the Right replied that
doubtful auxiliaries were not wanted.

General Lamoriciere inquired whether the reporter
of the committee would assign any reasons for re-
jecting the amendment of of Monnet. (Silence.) The
committee, then, would give no reasons. M.llaroche

said the amendment was similar to others which had
been already rejected. General Lamuriciere inferred
that the amendment was rejec'ed because it was com-
prehensive. Much had been said of the necessity of
moralising the elector by making him vote among his
neighbours. Ile aid his friends uccepted that cbject,
but could not see how it would be impeded by ad-
mitting as many facilities as possible for establishing
the electoral domicile. When the object was to impose

an obligation instead of granting a right, the law4was
much more avommodating. Thus for the recruitment
the inscriptions were made first on the declarations of
young people or their parents; bat also on informa-
tion furnished by all sorts of persons. But such
information was rejected in the present instance.
Evidence which would be admitted before the justice
of peace or civil tribunal was not allowed by the
majority for establishing the right to vote. (M.
Berryer demanded to speak.) General Lamoriciere
continned—But the truth was, they (the majority)
wanted to establish, not a domiciliary, but a tax quali-
fication. Why could they not say so frankly at once ?
The French liked frankness, and had too much good

sense to be hoodwinked.
M. Berryer opposed the amendment. An inter-
ruption by General Leydet, who protested against the
insulting mode in which M. Berryer spoke of the
Left ai the party of disorder, caused him to be called
to order by the president. General Leydet is a con-
vert from the legitimist party, a fact which
gave the salt to a mot which produced roars
of laughter. Gen. Lamoricitre re-ascended the tribune
to support the amendment, and maintained that the
condition of the franchise once fixed every fscility
ought to be given for proving those conditions. M.
Leon Faucher proceeded to reply to General Lamo-
rielere. Finally, M. Mounet's amendment having
been put to the vote was rejected by a large majority.
The amendment proposed by M. Combarel de Leyval
that the lists already drawn up should serve for at-
testing the domicile, was rejected without discussion.
The first paragraph on Art. 3 was then voted by a
large majority. The house adjourned at half-past six.
The amendment of M. Gustave de Beaumont and
M. Vesin will be discussed to morrow.
The Fives rose last night at the Passage de l'Opera
to 91fr. 10c. on the announcement of the adoption of
the tad article of the Electoral Bill by the Assembly.
The same stock opened this morning at 90.90, to close
at 90.75, a fall of 10c. on yesterday. The success of
the Electoral Law and the disappearance of alarm as to
Inieule, have caused on the whole a rise of 4 per cent.
The annual menage of the Preaident to the As-
sembly is talked about as on the eve of being de li-
vered. The President is expected to express empha-
tically his concurrence with the majority, and hie
determination to strengthen the order by the most
energetio mesas within the law.
After the electoral law, will come a series of bills
all following up the blow dealt on universal suffrage.
The press, political domicile, transportation, mayors,
national guard, will all be arranged in their turn con-
formably to the taste of the majority. The vacation
is not expected to commence till August.
Galignanis Messenger publishes a petition of Mr.
Dyce Sombre to the British parliament, praying to
be relieved from the decree of lunacy under which he
labours. The petition is accompanied by a certificate
of five eminent physicians, Drs. Gunning, Trousseau,
Recoid, Shrimpton, and MacCarthy, declaring upon
oath that the undersigned find no sympton of 'matey
in Mr. Dyes Sombre.
