In the meantime many are of opinion that the
ministers pot themselves in the way of this • defeat,
purposely to pick a quarrel with the Assembly, and
to prove to the country that the jealousy of factions
in the legislature is such as to cripple the exertions of
the executive fur the suppression of revolutionary
ti ndencies in the provinces. The language of the
Die Pecembre is, that by refusing the Government
the power of turning out the democratic mayors, the
Assembly makes all order impossible. Tne question
is one between the advocates of a strict system
of centralisation on the one hand, and of
municipal independence on the other, the legiti-
mists ranging themselves, fcr obvious reasons,
on the side of the latter. Nearly connected
with this question is the bill for granting extraor-
dinary powers to the councils-general in case of in-
surrectioo. Tho club of the Rue de Itivoli are going
to hold a meeting on this subject on Tuesday. Greet
objections are entertained by several against the ten-
dency of M. Mole's repot t, to put a dictatorial power
into the hands of the military authcrities in the case
of disturbance. MM. de Nlontigny and de Riancey
are to move an amendment consenting to give the
military commander the power of declining the state
of siege in concert with the prefect of the department,
and provided the council-general be called immediately
to deliberate on the question. M. Baroche made in
the committee a remark which is much commented
upon: " What do you call a grave event, such as to
jnstify the extraordinary meeting t f the councils.
general ; would you consider a conflict between the
President and the Assembly such a grave event ?"
MM. de Larcy, Chapot, Saint Priest, and other
representatives, have brought up the following pro-
petition to the Assembly :
Fur the purpoes—l. Of protecting the financial rad com-
mercial lawns% of France, menaced by the d.lay in the
execution of the important line from Paris to the 'godlier-
, 2. To open as promptly as pooible, and before the
winter, some great public works, which, while contributing
to the future prosperity of the country, shall secure work to
the laborious cisme,

They propose to the National Assembly to
mute a special committee of 15 members, charged
to oonsider and prepare the w►ys and means
the most fit to insure the immediate execution of the
railway from Paris to Avignon, which committee shall
concur with the committee ou the budget as to the
financial arrangem ata necessary to raise the funds
for the execution of the work..

A meeting was arranged for yesterday morning
between two representatives of opposite politics,
MM. Clary and Valentin, in consequence of an uncivil
interjection of the former on the occasion of M.
Valentin's severe treatment at the hands of the presi-
dent in the sitting of Thursday. The police having
got wind of the affair prevented the encounter, which
is thus postponed.
The vote which took place on Friday at tl.e National
Assembly as to the law on the mayors has caused a
decline, the inevitable consequence of any apparent
division in the majority. The Five per Cents., which
closed on Friday in the ConHese at 94.80, fell in the
evening at the Passage de l'Opera to 9145, closing at
91.30. To-day the fall has continued, the Five per
Cents. closing at 94fr. loc., and the Three per Cents.
at .58 r. 35:. It is true that a great many primes
were abandoned, and that some forced cafes occurred
in consequence, which would in some measure explain
the decline.

At the Passage de 'Opera, on Saturday evening,
the Fives were done at 910. 10c., and Owed at
94fr. 30c.
