Telegram.

The following telegrams come through Reuter's
agency :

THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY.
The National Assembly met on Tuesday. The
President read a letter from M. Cr6mieux, tendering
his resignation as' member of the Government and
Minister of Justice. The President then announced
that 450 deputies had already arrived in Bordeaux,
and that the bureau were actively engaged with the
verification of the elections.

The Assembly afterwards ratified the elections of
several departments, but reserved the question of the
election of Prince de Joinville in the Manche, and
that of several prefects.
M. Jules GAvy will probably be elected President
of the Assembly, and it is believed that M. Thiers
will be the new President of the Council. Generals
Trochu and Changamier and MM. Dufaure and De
Lamy are designated as Vice-Presidents.
General Chanzy has arrived at Bordeaux. M.
Glais-Bizoin left with M. Jules Favre.
BERLIN, February 15 (Evening.)
The semi - official Provinzial Correspondenz of
to-day publishes an article on the National
Assembly, and says that as soon as there is a
decided probability of an understanding being
arrived at in reference to peace, the armistice
would be prolonged, in order that definite peace
negotiations should be commenced. It is to be
expected that then the National Assembly will be
transferred to Paris. On the other hand, should
these expectations not be realised, the war will re-
commence at the termination of the armistice with
all energy, for which every preparation has already
been made ; but we fully trust that the eventuality
will not occur, and that our troops, crowned with
laurels, will shortly return home.
