EVENING,

TUE ililisk.-1:i REM) Bide.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Assembly has decided, by a large majority,
that the Electoral Bill, instead of being referred to
the Council of State, shall at once be referred to the
Bureaux, and accordingly the Assembly was to meet
yesterday in its Bureau; to consider the measure.
This was not the only defeat suffered by the Burgraves
in the course of the sitting. M. LEON FAUCHER, who
had been proposed by them as a candidate for the
Vice-Presidency of the Assembly, was defeated by
M. VITET, by a majority of 322 to 211. _

The differences between the PRESIDENT and the
Burgraves may be considered now to have come to
open hostilities, and the latter are recruiting troops
for the conflict. The following Bill, drawn up, it is
said, by M. TRIERS, has been laid on the table of the
Assembly by the Questors :
" Art. 1. The President of the National Assembly is
charged to watch over the internal and external safety
of the Assembly. He exercises, in the name of the As-
sembly, the right, conferred on the legislative power by
Art. 32 of the Constitution, of fixing the number of
troops required for its safety, to dispose of them, and to
select the chief charged to command them. To this
effect he has the right to call on the armed force and all
the authorities whose co-operation he may think neces-
sary. The demands may bo addressed directly to all
officers, commandants, or functionaries, who are bound to
attend to them under the penalties fixed by the laws.
" Art. 2. The President may delegate his right of re-
quisition to the Questors or to one of them.
" Art. 3. The present law shall be placed on the order
of the day of the army, and stuck up in all the barracks
throughout the territory of the Republic.
" The Questors,
RAZE, General LEFLO, DE PANAT."
This proposition is looked upon by the Elyge
as a commencement of civil war. The Pays says:—
" Let the majority vote that proposition, and the day
after it will find itself exactly in the position in which
the faction of the Clichians found itself with respect to
the Directory. If the majority is so unwise as to hand
over its policy into the keeping of its generals, it is not
itself merely which will be found compromised—it is
France which will be the victim. To vote the measure
proposed by the questors is to publicly declare that the
Assembly distrusts the Executive power. It would be
more dignified to impeach him at once, if suspicions are
entertained of his having bad intentions."
The Constitutionnel observes on it :

"This proposition has not been yet read in a public
sitting. It it had been, it is probable that it would
have caused a considerable effect. France will feel the
impression of astonishment, not to say more, which it
caused. The President of the Republic has had
presented by his Ministry an Electoral Bill, on
which the Assembly is called on to deliberate, and
give a sovereign decision. What can be mere
legal, more regular, and more pacific ? The ques-
tors of the Assembly propose to responded to that
by a measure to regulate the right which the As-
sembly has to require troops, that is to say by some-
thing which resembles an organization of preparations
for war. By this measure the Assembly will remit the
exercise of its right to the President, and the latter may
delegate it to one or several questors. By this measure,
a single questor may give orders directly, either to the
commander•in-chief of the army of Paris, or to a single
corporal; the general in chief must obey, the corporal
must march. Civil functionaries themselves pass under
the authority of the legislative power, and as they do
not cease to be apparently under the authority of the
Executive power, the civil functionaries have two masters,
and are bound to obey orders which may be contradictory.
Every one will think that this proposition is only made
with a view of immediately exercising the right it
is to confer. In fact, urgency is demanded. We
may therefore expect that, if this proposition be adopted,
tho Assembly, although in no way threatened, will im-
mediately demand troops for its defence. In that case,
we would dare to advise it to demand all the disposable
forces that are in Paris. For what is the object of the
measure ? It is to tranquillize France. In order to do
that, it would be better that there should be only one
army at the service of one of the powers, than that there
should be two, one at the orders of the Assembly, and
the other at the command of the Executive Power.
Article 50 of the Constitution, which gives to the
President of the Republic the disposal of the armed
force, will become what it may. We think that the As-
sembly will reflect, before it votes this state of war."
General CAVAIGNAC has declared that he will sup-
port the Ministerial Bill for the restoration of uni-
versal suffrage.
The Slide gives the following report of the pro-
ceedings of the meeting of the Republican represen-
tatives at LEMARDELAY'S

" "The meeting of the Left, which took place the
evening before last, at Lemardelay's rooms, has a political
signification which is worthy of remark. All the shades
of Republican opinion, without exception, were there
represented, and the number of members present was
about 200. Among them were MM. Em. Arago, Car-
not, General Cavaignac, Charras, Crlaaieux, Dupont (de
Bussac), Jules Favre, Emile de Girardiu, Gr‘vy, Victor
Hugo, Joly, Mathieu (de la Drome), Michel (de Bourges),
Sohoetcher, &c. General Leydet, the oldest member,
presided. M. Michel (de Bourges) opened the sitting
by an eloquent speech, remarkable for moderation.
lie pointed out all the difficulties of the present state of
affairs, and all the eventualities that might arise. A
calm discussion afterwards took place as to the attitude
it would be proper to assume in the event of interpella-
dons taking place on the subject of the order of the day
of General Saint-Arnaud. Although there appeared
but little chance of such a thing, it was generally agreed
that it should be so: the left ought not to lend itself to
this manoeuvre of the Monarchical parties. The capital
point on which a unanimous decision was come to, was
that the Democratic Members of all shades would inva.
riably support the Bill for repealing the law of May 31,
and that it would reject all compromise—that of a year's
domicile, instead of six months, for instance—which
. should attack any way the national sovereignty."
