Majority against Alinister3

This w,"3-not the only check receive 1 by the
Ministers in the course of the sitting of Saturday.
M. DEZEIMERIS presented the report of the Corn-
mittE e on M. BILLAuLr's proposition on the budget,
which was entirely in favour of M. BILLAULT'S views,
and in the discussion on the Council of State Bill
they were again defeated. The Ministers were de-
sirous of having the Connell of State elected by the
new Assembly, but the clause enacting that they
should be elected by the present Assembly was car-
ried in opposition to them.
During the course of the sitting M. LEDRU
ROSLIN presented the following proposition, signed
by 48 Members, for the impeachment of the Mi-
nisters _

" Considering that the anti-Republican policy of the
Ministry has just manifested itst-lf by a fact which is an
attack upon the rights of citiz,:as and on ilia funda-
mental principle of the sovereignty of the purl, ;
" Considering that the right of meeting is a natural
right, and a poliical right written and consecrated in the
Constitution of the French Republic ;
that, by the project of law presented
yesterday, the 26th of January, for the suppession of
the clubs, the Ministry have rendered themselves guilty
of al act which is a flagrant violation of Articles 8 and
51 of the Constitution ;

" Considering that the Ministry is responsible for its
acts, according to Article 68 of the Constitution ;—the
undersigned Representatives of Vie people demand tho
immediate impeachment of the Ministers, and their trial
before the High Court of the Nation, to be there ju'lged
in conformity with Article 91 of theCorbtituti,n.
(tiers follows the Signatures.)
" Paris, Jan. 27, 1849."
But it is not the Ministers alone who are held re-
sponsible by the Republicans for these attempted
violations of the Constitution ; the more advanced
members of the Republican party, and among them
M. PROUDHON, are determined that the responsibility
of the PRESIDENT shall be alreality. M. PROLIDHON,
in his journal Le People, thus speaks of the PRE-
SIDENT :

" Behold him, then, this President! he who ought to
exert every nerve towards the strengthening of our re
publican institutions, but who, by his apathy and his
intrigues, and scattering around him corruption and
despair, is incessantly occupied in the disorganization of
the Republic. Behold him, this equivocating Republi-
CAD, who complained of being calumniated, and who
drives from their places all true Republicans, and hands
over prefectures, the bench, &e., to hordes of reactionists,
to monarchists, proved through thirty years of treason !
Fur him even the Republicans of the morrow are of too
sombre a colour. Absolutists by race and of the old
stuck are the men for him. Louis Bonapat to has set
on foot the question of the dissolution of the Assembly.'
Very good! Monday next, thin Assembly will, in its
turn, set on foot the question of the dismissal of the
President!"

Le People of Friday, in which the above appeared,
was seized at the Post-office, and an application was
made to the National Assembly, on Saturday, for
leave to prosecute M. Pnoupuorr, who, in Le People
of Saturday, thus returns to the attack :
"We said yesterday, The struggle is between the
National Assembly and Louis Bonaparte. Louis Bo-
naparte has laid down the question of the dissolution
of the Assembly. On Monday next the Assembly will
lay down the question of the dismissal of the Presi-
dent.' The Prucureur of the Republic, a subaltern of
the President of the Republic, has considered this judg-
ment disquieting fur his superior, and has seized our
number. Let him seize this also! for we cannot refrain
from saying, The fiction of royal inviolability was
abolished by the Constitution of December 4—the Pre-
sident of the Republic is responsible.' Yes, and it is not
we aho sly it—it is the force of things. On Monday
a decisive battle will take place between the revolution
and the counter revolution—between the revolution, re-
presented by the National Assembly—and the counter-
revolution, represented by Louis Bonaparte. Is it
possible to deny tnis? If the Assembly were dissolved
the counter-revolution would meet with co more obsta-
cles: the Constitution would be destroyed—two cham-
bers would be re- established—the inviolability and re-
eligibility of the President would be declered—his civil
list would be increased tenfold—monarchy be restored
—corruption reconstructed—and the people again en-
chained. On the contrary, Louis Bonaparte conquered,
having resigned or being dismissed, the counter-revolu-
tion would be cast down—all its hopes be ruined irrevo-
cably and for ever."
The Reforme publishes the following protest of the
Republican journalists against the Bill for tne sup-
pression of clubs :
.‘ The undersigned, considering that the right of meet-
ing and association is a natural right, anterior and pos-
terior to it positive law, and recognised, moreover, by
the Constitution;
"Considering that the law presented by the Ministry
has also for its object to regulate the exercise of that
right as the Constitution re quires, but that it suppresses
it in an absolute manner, and thus di prices the sovereigu
people of their most important political prerogattves;
Consideling that the Ministry, by the mere fact of
the presentation of that law, attacks both the Constitu-
tion and the natural rights of nein:—
" Pro' est with all their e:,ergy, and call on tke As-
sembly to impeach the Ministers who have dated to at-
tempt that coup d'iat.

In consequence of these manifestations great un-
easiness has been created in the minds both of the
PRESIDENT and of his Ministers, and a conference, at
which not only the whole of the Ministry, but MM.
JEROME and NAPOLEON BONArARTE, and MM.
VIELLABD and ABBATUCCI were present, was held
yesterday at the Elpee. The members of the Bona-
parte family and the personal friends of the PRE-
SIDENT recommended that he should dismiss his
present Ministry, and send for MM. BILLAULT and
DE LAMAItTINE. Their advice was, however, re-
jected, and the PRESIDENT determined to commit
himself with his present Cabinet in a struggle against
the Republic, and in support of reaction. The plans
discussed and, according to report, approved of, were
these— . _

" 1. To strengthen the Ministry by bringing Mar-
shal Bugeaud into the Cabinet as Minister of War, and
giving or.lers to the Prefects of the different departments
to get petitions signed, praying for the dissolution of the
AsLTatbly, and to have them sent to Paris, with deputy-
Lions from all parts of France. .
" 2. To give the National Assembly notice of the re-
signation of the President of the Republic (who would
for the present be replaced by the Vice-President); and
to announce an air,. eal to the country for the 15th of
February, in o:der that the country may have an oppor-
tunity of determining between the Assembly and the
President, who, in the present state of feeling in France,
would evident:y be re-elected.
"3. To dismiss the National Assembly by a coup
d'etut, which it is calculated might be done with the
assistance of the army and the portion of the National
Guard which would support the President."

These are the three modes agitated in the Council.
It was also resolved, that the closing of the clubs, at
least temporarily, should be persisted in.
It is evident that the reactionary party are deter-
mined, if possible, to bring about a oivil war between
Paris and the departments. The struggle may be a
long and bloody one, but it must terminate eventually,
as all such struggles have ever terminated, in favour
of Paris. Witness Lyons turned into Ville Affranchie
in the first revolution ; witness the destruction of the
Girondins ; witness the never failing result of every
war in La Vendee. _ _

A dispute occurred on Saturday between 11.1.
TRELAT and M. TRIERS, which ended in a hostile
message from the latter gentleman. Thanks, how-
ever, to the intervention of Marshal BUGEAUD and
M. HECKERERS on the one side, and to that of MM.
GREvY and RECURT on the other, the affair was
amicably arranged.
Some heavy sales in Five per Cents. were effected
yesterday in the Passage de l'Opira, which gradually
brought down.prices to 74f. 10c.
