PARIS, SUNDAY.
The list of the Members who voted for and against
M. Dupont de l'Eure's motion yesterday, is pub-
lished by the illoniteur of to-day, as well as a list of
the Members 'who were absent on conge on that
occasion, and of those who were either absent at the
moment of the vote, or declined voting: From these
lists it appears that General Cavaignac himself
declined voting, as did also his adversaries, MM.
Gamier Pages, Duclerc, Pagnerre, and Barthelemy
St. Hilaire. Among the 34 Members who form the
minority are the names of General Baraguay d'Hil-
liers, the President of the Club of the Rue de
Poitiers, Blin de Bourbon:(Legitimatist), Victor Hugo,
Lucien Murat, and several Montagnards and Social-
ists, among whom are Eugene Raspail, Proudhon,
Joly, Pierre Leroux, Predignier, Lefranc, Oliver,
&c. Among those who declined voting, and thereby
showed that, though they did not choose abso-
lutely to condemn General Cavaignac on the
evidence before the Assembly, they could not
declare " that he had deserved well of the
country," are MM. Odilon Barrot,
Mole, de Montalembert, Baze, Berryer, the three
Bonapartes, Cremieux, Dupin, Leon Faucher,
Jules Favre, Llmennais, Ledru Rollin, Leon de
Malleville, Maugin, Vielliard, &c., kc. With the
exception of the three members of the Bonaparte
family, all the above were present during the debate,
but declined voting. MM. Arago, de Remusat, de
Larochejaquelin, de Toqueville, Generals Bedeau and
Changarnier, &c., &c., voted for the motion. The
name of M. de Lamartine is omitted altogether in
the Moniteur list, but we understand that he declined
voting. The total number of members who were
absent without conye is 148.
A curious scene took place yesterday evening in
one of the passages of the National Assembly, be-
tween two celebrated members of the Montagnard
party. M. Proudhon happening to meet M. Felix
Fiat, went up to him and told him he was an aristo-
crate, and an agent of General Cavaignac's. M. Fiat,
having no other weapon, doubled his fist, and gave
M. Proudhon a blow on the nose, which at once drew
" claret." M. Proudhon, finding " his property " thus
unexpectedly attacked, determined, contrary to his
usual doctrines, to defend it. He returned M. Fiat's
blow, inflicting a severe wound upon that gentleman's
lip, which also drew blood. Some friends at this
period of the affair interfered (which is to be re-
gretted) ; the combatants were separated, and we have
not heard that the affair has been carried any further.
To-day the weather is exceedingly disagreeable.
Heavy rain has been falling all day. This is so far
fortunate, as it prevents attroupemens in the streets.
Yesterday the appearance of the capital was very
threatening, but to-day Paris has just the appear-
ance of London on a wet Sunday.
Last night there was a meeting of the friends and
counsellors of Louis Napoleon, on the subject of the
debate of yesterday, but the general impression was
that it would not be of any great service to General
Cavaignac in his election contest.
The following was the situation of the Bank of
France on Thursday morning, Nov. 23, 1848:
