Several attempts were made to reserve various
organic laws for discussion, but the reactionary agents
of the English Tory aristocracy (for it has been in
England, and in conjunction with the English Tory
aristocracy, that these reactionary intrigues have been
carried on), obeying the orders received from
London, insisted upon the rejection of all such pro-
positions, and accordingly the reservation of the
organic law on military organization was rejected by
a majority of 419 to 362, although the motion for
reservation was supported by General LAMORICIERE.
The reservation of the Poor-law Bill was rejected by
a majority of 444 to 309, and that of the Law on
Primary Instruction by 458 to 307. The proposal to
reserve the:organic law on the press was likewise re-
jected, and before it separated the National Assembly
read the organic Electoral Law a first time. The
conspirators of the 29th of January have thus suc-
ceeded in forcing the Republican Assembly to commit
suicide. The reactionary journals are all in ecstacies
at this unexampled triumph of the system of " enor-
mous lying," which in every country in Europe con-
stitutes the stock-in-trade of the reactionary party,
and calculates the number of days :that must elapse
before the Legislative Assembly, elected under the
joint influence of terror, corruption, and cajolery,
can assemble in order to cashier the PRESIDENT, as
he was elected to cashier the National Assembly.
The Constitutionnel calculates the number of days
that must elapse at 80, and fixes the 7th of
May as the day for the meeting of the Le-
gislative Assembly. That meeting will be
the signal for the present Ministers and flatterers of
LOUIS NAPOLEON to turn upon him and kick aside
the plancite Napolionienne. Actaeon•like he will be
hunted by his own hounds, and if in his extremity he
should turn to the honest Republicans of the veille
for assistance we trust it will be afforded him, for
from this time the salvation of the Republic depends
upon LOUIS NAPOLEON BONAPARTE continuing Pre-
sident. With regard to the conduct of the Assem-
bly itself we concur in the following opinion ex-
pressed by the National:—
" Our readers will comprehend the painful feeling we
experienced at the sight of the Assembly, hithiirto so
firmly united by its Republican convictions, at preser t
divided by the intrigues of reactionary parties, and thus
repudiating in succession every portion of the duty en-
trusted to it."

The Patric), the official journal of the Government,
has the following on the subject of the reservation of
the Budget.
" An explanation was given to-day, in the lobbies of
the National Assembly, of the first paragraph of Art. 3
of the proposition on the dissolution, voted yesterday
by 41.5 to 373. The following are the terms of this
article :

" ' The order of the day of the Assembly shall be re-
gulated in such manner that, independently of thu elec-
toral law, the law of the Council of State, the law of the
responsibility of the President of the Republic and of
the Ministers, and the. budget of 1849, shall be voted be-
fore the dissolution.'

" The words and the budget of 1849,' added to the
article as drawn up by M. Lanjuinais, by way of amend-
ment, proposed by MM. Dezenneris and Pascal Duprat,
differ essentially from the amendment of M. Sauteyra,
which was withdrawn. An amendment, according to the
ideas of M. Senard, was rejected. It was erroneously
considered that this vote was a check to the majority. It
cannot in anywise alter the essential provision of the law
which is thus conceived:—
" The elections for the Legislative Assembly shal
take place on the first Sunday that shall follow the fina
closing of the electoral lists in all the departments.'
" The above quoted provision, voted yesterday, does
not render the voting of the budget obligatory upon the
Assembly ; it only prescribes that the order of the day
may be so regulated that it may be voted before the
separation. As M. Gouin, President of the Committee
of Finance, remarked, this faculty is according to right.
Its insertion in the decree on the dissolution of the
Assembly cannot in any manner alter the date fixed by
Art. 2."

The Constitutionnel announces that the French
Government has acceded to the proposal to join a
congress of Catholic Powers, to be held at Gaeta, to
afford the POPE their aid to enable him to exercise his
spiritual authority freely, and in a manner worthy of
the Catholic population of the world.
Numerous addresses from different legions of Na-
tional Guards are daily presented to Colonel PORES-
TIER, expressive of sympathywith him, and protesting
against the arbitrary and illegal conduct of General
CHANGARNIER.

The National, in allusion to the pitiful prevarica-
tions of which M. LEON FAUCHER was guilty in re-
lation to the lithographed bulletins, says that the
same bulletins which were sent under official covers
to the Prefects were also sent as " correspondence "
to the Legitmatist and Orleanist provincial journals,
and, adds the National, " as the tendencies of the
present Ministers of the Republic are entirely in fa-
vour of monarchy, it was useless to multiply the
`Bureaux de correspondance. "
