PARIS. FILIDAT RTINING.
To-day the legitimists succeeded in making the
government sensible of their strength upon an im-
portant question. M. Bamako rase to move that the
law of mayors should be at span the order of the day
tee Thursday. It was aaderstood that this meager*
weld be postponed until the law as departmental
sad municipal organisation was brought forward.
MM. de Loral ejacquelin, de Vatintessil, and Harlot
strenuously opposed the geopolitics of the govern-
meat, which upon being pat to the vote was rejected
by the Assembly. This ewers cheek of ministers pro-
duced a strong eseration. M. de actin said
that the Minister of the Interior had nof the ur-
gency of this law; but, far his part, he law no ar-
gotic}, whatever for introducing the measure. The
Conseil d'Etat was occupied at this moment with the
twmfor skilialifsaalesties, whisk kayaked easel-
of the highest moment, and would soma be
terminated. There prevailed at the present epoch a
lamentable tendency to derive the country of all its
guarantees. If municipal liberties were attacked, he
did not see where the government would atop. Al-
ready the electoral law of the 31st of May
.placed the
mayors in a position of peculiar influence, and the
persona subjected to their administration inn alma-
tion of dependence. One important defect in the law
had been pointed out by the report of M. Laboulie.
Were the mayors to remain in office until they were
replaced, or were their functions to ease imme-
diately on dismissal. He was opposed to the law and
to the government's intention of bringing it forward
now, which would have the effect of creating a
schism in the majority before the prorogation. M.
Vatimr nil said that in ardor to determine by whom
functionaries should be appointed, it was ne-
cessary to inquire into the nature of the
functions they were Galled on to discharge. Now,
in the case of the mayees, these were fixed by the law
of municipal organisation now before the Conseil
d'Etat. The house, therefore, ought to wait for the
latter bill before taking op the law on mayors. Great
agitation followed on the rejection of the motion of
M. Earache, who was seen talking with great anima-
tion to several members whir crowded about the
b.nch of the ministers.

The committee cf initiative held yesterday a second
deliberation on the proposition of M. Dabeaux for
the application of the electoral law of Jane 3 to muni-
cipal elections. It was speed that M. Dabeaux's
motion should not be token into consideration ; it
being feared that the legitimists would defeat the
measure if it were brought forward in the Assembly.
The susp.nsion-bridge of Fume!, on the Lot, has
fallen in.

The papers of today are occupied with the debate
of Wednesday in the House of Commons. The Presu
says :—" The speech of Lord Palmerston is incontes-
tibly the most remarkable of all that be has uttered
since he has been in office. It would, is fact, be
hard for a statesman, attacked with so outrageous a
violence in all the acts of his political career, to Hod
for the defence of his honour and principles, more
dignity in tenor, more elevation in ideas, more lu-
cidity in the statement of facts, and a more severe
irony in the reprisals which his adversaries gave h'm
the right of indicting on them."
The metallic reserve of the Bank of France has di-
minished in Paris about 41 millions, and in the coun-
try about 61 millions. The diaxant arreommodation
has increased nearly 3 millions in Paris, but has de-
clined about 1 of a million in the provinces, the amount
of the former beicg 39,923,121 fr.. and of the latter
64,035,004 fr. The protested bil:s show a falling-off
of about 300,000 fr. in Paris, and an increase of about
20,000 fr. in the branch barks, the amount of the former
being 330,134 fr., and of the la:ter 1,334,330 fr. On
the side of the liabilities the notes in circulation have
increased in Paris 41 millions, and in the provinces
about 1 million. The account of the treasury has
fallen off 61 millions, the present amount bein?
48,481A/45ft. Private accounts-current in Paris have
increased 3 millions, and in the country have declined
31 millions, the amount of the former being
76,444,907 tr., and of the latter 27,266,052 fr. The
whole amount of the metallic reserve is at present
4631 millions to 501 millions of notes in circulation.
