PARIS. TUESDAY, 6 30 rw.
The vote of yesterday upon the 17th clause of the
Education Bill is likely to lead to parliamentary an-
noyances against the government. The clause, as put
by M. raneu, and its being voted with the assistance
of the Mountain and the tiers-parti, was well de-
scribed by M. Dupin as "kick in an ant-hill." I
ventured to say before the debate commenced on this
bill that many incidents likely to be fatal to it might
occur, and this vote shows that I was not deceived.
In order to understand the cause of the vote, I think
it right to give you the 17th clause as it was peeped :

The inspectors of academy shall be chosen by the minister
from smog old inspectors, professors of faculty, censors,
and principals of colleges, the heads of free institutions, the
profaners of the upper claims of the different kinds of eats. 1
Mkkassate, and the inspeetwe of pr mart' schools, under
the common condition of their having had five years' expo.
nesse. The intpastore.general shall be chosen by the mi.
Dieter either from the abom.named categories, or amongst
the old iaspeetors.general, the restore and: investors of
academy. No nominstion of inspector-g I can be made
without the previous advice of the superior council.

The clause, se moved by the committee, left the
choioe to the minister, bat limited him to that of
three candidates, proposed by the superior council. M.
de Parien, wishing to keep for his patronage the place
of inspector-general, freed himself, by his amendment,
from the control of the council. It was this that
irritated the ooneerratives. M. Thiers was most
strenuous in his endeavours, and so was M. Bare, the
reporter of the committee, but the Mountain and
tiers-parti, seeing a fine opportunity for a blow,
turned the scale in favour of M. de Parien, in order
to spite the Right.
M. Vatiemenil, in his anger and annoyance at the
vote, went up to. M. de Parieu and said, " You have
done this, and now the most implacable hatred exists
between us." " How implacable ?" asked the mi-
nister.

M. de Vatismenil and the Abbe Leblanc—Yee, an
implacable war. Never rely on us again for any-
thing.
A Representative—Take a note of th•ae words,
Monsieur le Ministre; these gentlemen tell you that
you that you must no longer rely on them for any-
thing, not even fur the maintenance of order.
The Minister, to M. de Vatismenil —I shall be
carious to receive a more official notification of this
declaration.

M. de Vatismenil—Besid, s you only obtained the
triumph by the aid of the Mountain.
The Representative above alluded to then said—
Do not pay any attention to them, Monsieur le
Min'stre. Act still in the same way, and if
these gentlemen abandon you, you will not only have
with yon something besides the Mountain, but you
will convert a part of that bldy.
M. de Vatismenil —Do not again rely on us for
anything.
The Minister of Justice—This was neither a capital
nor a political question. But if it suits you to place
it on that ground, the government will not flinch
from it.

The report of the committee on the budget, which
wee presented by M. Berryer on Saturday to the Na-
tional Assembly, states that the committee proposes a
reduction of 40,284,897 f. on the ordinary budget, for
which the bill demands a credit of 1,408,776,384 f.,
and reduction of 44,704,50 W. on the extraordinary

vernment of 103,184,000 L
