Yesterdays proceedings in the National Assembly.
were very important.
After the adoption by the Assembly of an address to
the French people the of the week Gen
Cavagnac resigned into the hands of the
tives Of the Republic the extraordinary powers which
had been conided to him in the hour of peril: but
stated ut the time that in order forward the
restoration of order Paris should remain in state OF
siege for some days longer. The appearance of Gen
Cavagnac in the tribune hailed on all sides with
the most enthusiastic cheering, and on the motion OF
the President thanks were voted to Gen Cavaignac,
who was declared to have well merted of his country
Gen Cavaignac returned thanks, aud moved that the
army, the National Guards and the generals who had
fought under him, should be includ in the vote
which was agreed to-
The ministry having at the same time an nounced
their retirement 1t remained for the Assembly to
constitute the executive power. General lie Breton
thought that General Cavagnac's resignation ought

murmurs, NJ. Martin (of Strasbourg) then rose and
proposed that the executive power should be conded
to General Cavagnac, with the title of Presi-

Leblanc excited surprise and discomfort because he is
