PARIS. WEDNESDAY EVENING.
The ballot for the remaining three members of the
Committee of Permanence, which took place in the
sitting of to-day, was attended with no result, as none
of the candidates obtained the absolute majority of
215 votes. The candidates held the following order :
Cambarel de Ley sal obtained 237 votes; Grery, 236;
Damon, 214 ; Chambolle 193 ; Bixio, 189 ; Fremy,
138; Delessert,l2B. Ot the candidates of the moderate
majority (Chambore, Galion, and Frtmy), only the
second had any chance of being elected, while Gravy,
a staunch republican, wets record, and Combarel de
Leyvel, a member of the tieriparti, first. A fresh
ballot will take place to-morrow.
The next great move in French politic', as regards
the interior, will be an attempt on the part of the new
coalition of the extremes of the Cumber to repeal the
electoral law of May 31. The power of this
alliance has been manifested during the last days in
so striking a manner by the composition of the C im-
mittee of Permanence, that the whole loci', of mode-
rates are almost as much alarmed as they were at
the elections of De Flotte and Eugene Sue. They are
casting about continuolly for same remedy to check
the progress of this dangerous alliance, which cam- I
plettly paralyses their action and baffles their plans.
The tendency of such an obstacle to the course of the
moderates is evidently to make them seek a closer
alliance with the executive, and the dire affronts
offered to the President of the Republic by the selec-
tion of his marked personal enemies to form the per-
manent committee, will render him but too glad to
meet the men of the Roe Richelieu halfway. The
political sagacity and parliamentary decision of M.
Ihiers %%ill be tasked to the utmost to put down this
new threatening power, which results from
the combination of the ultra-legitimists with
the Montsgnards. Since the passing of the
New Electoral Law, the pointers, as the ultra-
legitimists are called, have been heard to talk less
about an appeal to the people. But on the other hand
I it seems the moderates entertain this scheme in pro-
portion as it is abandoned by the extreme right. It is
utterly hopeless to expect that three-fourths of the
present Assembly will ever consent to the revision of
the constitution in the way proposed by this charter.
A new parliamentary campaign would only lead to
still more humiliating defects of the government,
without advancing one step nearer to a settled state
of things, or to the adoption of a uniform policy of
administration. The moderates see all this, and there
is every reason to believe that they will not fail before
the prorogation expires to make their leagued enemies
feel the weight of the supreme military power which
Begin their hands.

The municipal council of Marseilles has resigned,
in consequence of the order given by the government
that all vessel, arriving from Malta in that port,
without any case of death or sickness, shall not be
compelled to perform quarantine. A special commis-
sion of inquiry is to be sent to Marseilles.
A decree of the President of the Repubic, dated
this day, orders that, as the ground and buildings of
the lazuetto at Marseilles are insufficient for the
quarantine regulations, the lazaretto and sanitary
board shall be transferred, within the shortest possible
delay, to the islands of the Frioul.
In the Assembly'. sitting to-day the discussion of
the budget was resumed amid empty benches. The
budget of the interior was voted. Next came that of
agriculture and commerce, which was discussed with-
out a break in the general languor and somnolence
which prevailed.
The committee on the budget received yesterday a
fresh chc:k on a chapter of the budget of public in-
struction, relative to the retiring pensions of the
functionaries of this department. The reduction of
250,000 f. proposed by the committee, was rejected.
A meeting of the Mountain decided in the sitting
of the 22nd, that a statement of the operations of the
Assembly should be published at the end of this
month, and addressed to the electors. MM. Bac,
Cheers., Hennequin, Quinet, and Eugene Sue, are
charged with this task.
Lord Howden readied Bordeaux on the 20tk, on
his way to Madrid.
The submarine electric telegraph between Francs
and England is nearly completed.
A grand dinner was given yesterday at the Elysee,
at which MM. de Broglie,Montalembert, Dupin,Leon
Fauoher, Cnangarnisr,and a great number of other re-1
preuntatives were present. A reception followed in
the evening, at which M. Thien was observed to re-
main long in conversation with the President. It
was observed that very few legitimists were present,
and those only of the most moderate shade. The
party was in fact a demonstration of alliance with the
moderates, and the absent members clearly showed
that due attention bad been paid by the host of the
I Elysee to the votes on the Committee of Permanence.
You know that M. Creton is in the habit of bring-
ing forward every six months a motion for removing
the ban of exile from the Orleans fau.ily. It is said
that on the next occasion on which this motion is
introduced the Mountain have agreed to cote for it,
in the hope of still further lowering the crest
of the President, and deriving profit to the republic
from the multiplication ofsonfiesting ambitions. But
the chief object of the motion is to bring forward
Joined's as a candidate for the presidency la 1882.
