out. The COuncil of Ministers happening at the mo-
ment to be sitting at the Elyse?, Louis NAPOLEON
at once proposed the Van to the Ministers present.
The reception given to this extraordinary proposition
is not stated ; but it is stated that M. PASSY at once
rose, and stated that V another word were said upon
the subject he would at once leave the room. This
gave courage to the other Ministers, and the
projected was repudiated. All that is further
known is that on that day the troops filled the
streets ; that Louis NAPOLEON sallied out
from the Elysee at mid-day, in the full
uniform of a general of the National Guard,
surrounded by his newly-appointed aides-de..
camp ; that he greatly astonished the Parisians by
riding along the Boulevards in that gear at so un-
timely an hour ; that no mot d'ordre was given to
the troops to cry " Vive l'Empereur !" or vice any-
thing else ; and that Louis NAPOLEON rode back
safe and sound as President of the Republic to the
Elysee, instead of installing himself, as he expected,
as Emperor at the Tuileries. The affair having
turned out a coup manqui, the story of the Repub-
lican conspiracy was got up, and though laughed at
even at the time, has been kept up ever since.

We believe that on both sides there has been a vast
amount of intrigue, but no direct conspiracy—save,
indeed, a conspiracy in which the leaders of the re-
actionary party of all shades were joined together to
procure, by suborned and perjured testimony, and by
packed juries and packed courts, the conviction of
Republicans for sham conspiracies concocted by the
prosecutors. All these things will, no doubt, now
come to light, when we sincerely hope that "justice
will be done."

The Republicans of all shades have met, and have
determined on a united line of action.

The following semi-official account of this meeting
appears in all the journals of the Left:—
" A meeting of the members of the Left took place to-
day at Lemardelay's, in the Rue Richelieu, to consider
what steps that portion of the Legislative Assembly
ought to take at the present conjuncture. This course
was decided on on Saturday at a meeting held in the
first Bureau, at which were present—MM. Grevy, Emile
de Girardin, Cremieux, Victor Hugo, Jules Favre,
Mathieu (de la Drome), Charras, Michel (de Bourges),
Pascal Duprat, Joly, Dupont (de Bussac), and Scheel-
cher. At the meeting at Lemardelay's 160 representa-
tives were present, and after three hours' deliberation,
it was determined that unity of action was impera-
tively called for ou the part of the opposition, and a
committee was named, first, to regulate the mode of for
the future convoking the members; and next, in all
urgent cases, to adopt resolutions to be communicated to
the whole opposition for the purpose of effecting a unity
of vote. This committee is composed of the following
members :—MM. Cremieux, Victor Hugo, Jules Favre,
Dupont (de Bussac), Pascal Daprat, Grevy, Charras,
Emile de Girardin, Emmanuel Arago, Mathieu (de la
Drome), Sehoelcher, Michel (de Bourges), Edgard
Quinet, Duc'ux, Joly, Canet."•
It is said that General LAHITTE has refused the
London Embassy.
The PRESIDENT rides out every day, attended only
by a groom, and is always well received by the people.
General BARAGUAY D'HILLIERS has named as his
aides-de-camp Chef-d'escadron DIEU, of General
SCHRAMM'S staff, and Captain MoLIN, employed on
the works connected with the map of France.
The Lyons journals of Saturday state that the
Ministerial crisis had caused some disquietude in that
city ; and the consequence was that retail shops sold
less, commission agents were waiting to see how
things would turn before giving orders to manufac-
turers, and even the receipts of theatres had sustained
a notablel diminution.
The announcement in the Moniteur of a reduc-
tion of one-half per cent. in the interest on Trea-
sury Bonds produced a considerable effect at the
Bourse, and a consequent rise in the price of Govern-
ment Stock. The Five per Cents. opened at 94f.
80c., and closed at 94f. 95c. The Three per
Cents. closed at 571. ; the New Loan at 941. 95c. ;
Orleans Railroad Shares, 847 f. 50c.; Rouen, 6751.;
Havre, 273 f. 75c. ; Great Northern, 468 f. 75c. ;
Avignon, 1851.; Vierzon, 3861. 25c.; Basle, 140 f.;
Baurdeaux, 398 f. 75c. ; Paris and Strasburg, 350 f. ;
Tours and Nantes, 246:. 25c.
