THE FRENCH REPUBLIC

We have received the Paris journals of Saturday
and of yesterday.
In our Third Edition of Saturday we published a
report of the debate on M. DE REMUSAT'S motion for
a Committee of Inquiry, which ended in the defeat of
the new Ministry by a majority of 57. Immediately
after the vote of the Assembly, the representatives
withdrew to their bureaux, where in general the dis-
cussion was not of any great length. The 4th, 6th,
and 10th bureaux, not having named their members
to the Committee at half •past six, adjourned the pro-
ceedings to Saturday. In the Ist bureau, M.
Bixto declared that the explanations of the Mi-
nistry ought to be more complete; be con
ceived that all the reasons which led to General
CBANGARNIER'S dismissal had not been disclosed ; he
thought, however, that it was advisable to have per-
fect harmony and a good understanding restored if
possible. M. Bum was appointed to the Committee
by 31 votes to 14 given to M. LIIERBETTE, In the
2d bureau M. BAZE obtained 20 votes to 18 given to
M. BEUGNOT. In the 3d, General CAVAIGNAC ob-
tained 22 votes to 18 given to M. DE REMUSAT (on
a third ballot). sth. M. MONTEBELLO was named
in favour of the proposition. 7th. M. PAM-, who
spoke against the Ministry, but without wishing
to proceed to extremes, was nominated by 21
to 17 given to M. Ducoux. Bth. M. Gus-
TATE DE BEAUMONT, in favour of the proposition,
was appointed. 9th. M. DARU, opposed to the pro-
position, was named. 11th. M. NETTEMENT, for the
proposition, was appointed by twenty-six votes to
seventeen given to M. BAUCHART. 12th. M. LAN-
JUINAIS, for the proposition, was named. 13th. M.
MORELLET was nominated by twenty-three votes to
nineteen given to M. J. DE LASTEYRIE. M. MOREL-
LET thought complete explanations were due on every
point, and even on the rumoured presence of the
Princes of the Orleans family at Versailles. 14th.
M. DE MoaliAr, for the proposition, was named by
twenty-two votes to eighteen given to M. LACROSSE.
15th. M. DE LAMARTINE, in favour of the Ministry,
was nominated by twenty-five votes to sixteen given
to General BEDEAU.

The most remarkable speech delivered in the
Bureaux was that of M. TRIERS. He declared his
adhesion to the Republican form of Government, and
his determination to oppose any Government that
should endeavour to establish itself in opposition to
the Rupublic. M. THEIRS defied any one to restore
absolute power in France. If NAPOLEON rose from
his grave, he could not do it. " I went to Claremont,"
he said, "for I am at liberty to keep my souvenirs and
my attachments, but I never deceived any one. The
gentlemen of the Left can pay visits to M. Louis
BLANC or M. LEDRU-ROLLIN. There is nothing to
prevent them. But Ido not wish to see disrespect
shown to the Assembly." In the opinion of M.
TRIERS, the Act which now occupied the Assembly
was of the most serious importance ; the Assembly
could not remain silent without risking dishonour for
the future. It had suffered much to pass, but there
were limits which it ought to insist upon ; the dis-
missal of General CHANGARNIER aggravated too much
the political situation. M. TRIERS is of opinion that
the Commission should be at the same time firm and
moderate.
It is evident from this that M. TRIERS does not
deem it prudent to go quite so far as his alter ego M.
DE REMUSAT, and it is a somewhat significant fact
that neither M. DE REMUSAT nor M. DUFAURE have
been chosen members of the Committee.

The Committee assembled on Saturday morning,
and elected M. DE BROGLIE as President, and on the
meeting of the Assembly M. DE BROGLIE applied f,r
the communication to the Committee of the procu
verbaux of the Committee of Permanent:'; whereupon
M. 13AitociiE demanded nut only the communication
of the procis verbaux but their publication, sarcasti-
cally remarking, " had been said yesterday that
the Assembly had had the generosity not to publish
the procis verbaux ; the Government demanded the
concurrence of all members of the Assembly, but it
did not stand in need of the generosity of any."
Hereupon M. BAZE rose, it was supposed, for the
purpose of opposing the addition proposd, but rage so
choked his utterance, that he was only able to give
utterance to inarticulate sounds, while he vented his
fury by indulging in the most animated gesti-
culations.

The publication, as well as the production, of the
procie verbaux was then ordered without a division.
It is evident, therefore, that, as we said a few days
since would be the case, all parties must now make
a clean breast of it, and the safety of the
Republic will be secured in consequence.
M. JULES DE LASTEYRIE, the most inveterate of the
Orleanists, who,left the Committee of Permanence,'to
proceed with hot speed to Claremont, for what pur-
pose must be sufficiently obvious, has given us an
inkling of what we may expect to find in these
procit.g verbattai he said—
" He, for his part, would not oppose the publication
of these minutes, but he could then say they would not
find there what they expected. The facts are only set
down in a very summary way; the Commission had not
had the benefit of shorthand reporters. However, public
opinion would be enlightened on three points;-Ist,
With regard to the Society of 10th December, which
M. Baroche pretended was a charitable association, and
of the meetings of the Society St. Vincent de Paul,
which the Minister soon after dissolved without prose-
cuting; 2d. The reviews at Satory; and, 3d, With re-
gard to the dismissal of General Neumayer, concerning
which the Minister of War had refused to give any sa-
tisfaction, while M. Baroche pledged himself that he
would not, while Minister, be a party to the dismissal of
General Changarnier."
The Republicans have, in general, observed a strict
neutrality. On the division on Friday 93 of them
abstained from voting, and should the Committee
propose a resolution laudatory Of CHANGARNIER, or
expressing confidence in him, the Republicans will
vote against it to a man. M. TRIERS made over-
tures to them, which were rejected, with a declaration
that no overtures from such a quarter would be en-
tertained until universal suffrage should be restored,
by a repeal of the Electoral Law of 31st May.
General CHANGARNIER has left the Tuileries, and

now occupies a lodging in the Rue St. Honore. It is
now nearly certain that the Assembly will not have
recourse to any measures for placing him again at the
head of a body of troops.
The Ministers were again defeated on Saturday on
the Algiers Bill ; the Ministers wished the third
reading to be postponed, but M. DUPAURE insisted on
preesiog forward the Bill, which was adopted by 563
to 112.
M. DE LAMAETINE has declared in favour of the
PRESIDENT, with H horn he had a long interview on
Saturday. Great irritation against the Burgraves
exists both in Paris and the departments, while the
PRESIDENT seems to be popular.
The Patrie says:—
" The President of the Republic, on Saturday, in
plain clothes, and accompanied by only one orderly
officer, took a ride on horseback along the quays, the
Rue :Montmartre, and Boulevards. He everywhere
met with marks of most lively sympathy. Numerous
