Within the last week, the only matter of i'm
portance which has occurred, is the modification
OF the Cabinet, produced by the resignation of M
Belmont, Minister of Justice, in consequence OF
indispostion; and that of Cen Bedeau, Minister OF
Foreign Affairs, in consequence of the continued
Ill effects of his wound. M. Bastide has been re-
instated, consequently, in the Hotel of Foreign
Affairs; and M. Marie, President of the Assembly.
has been appointed to the Ministry of Justice.
The vacancy produced In the Presidency of the
Assembly, was filled yesterday, by the election of
M. Armand Marrast, for whom there were all

AS you will doubtless heneeforh hear much of the d.

should give you lone account Of their signfc

common in its general hall, and in its bureaux and
committees, resolved itself primarily into two sections
of which assembled in the Rue de Poictiers and
the other in the Palas Royal called the Pass Ma
tional These two clubs have accordingly taken the
names Of the places where they met-the one being
called the club Of the Rue de Pocters and the other
the club of the Pslais National. The composition of
these clubs respectively originally as follows -
The club Of the Rue de Poicters consisted of those
members of the Assembly who formed part of the GEN.
ire left and the left of the old Chamber of Deputies
under Louis Philippe They the parties who
clustered round NM Theirs and Barrot as leaders, and
among them cured MN. Dufaure de Lasteyrie. Leon
Faucher, sc. &C. This club was also Joined by most
Of those deputies of the right and the egtmists of tho
ex.Chambsr, among whom are MN. Dupn, Berger, Sc.
also included all the new members Of the Assembly
VINO favored moderate rePubiSssEp SRHiSps 8RR9ssa
Tor example could were it practicable establish Sc,
cond chamber to discharge tho functions of the late
Chamber of Peers. 1t would grant the President
splendid salary, and surround him with some
degree Of magnifcence it would give the aris-
tocrstio principle considerable play in the republic
very large proportion of the members of this club
have accepted the republic from necessity than
from choice; they did however, accept it, and are
anxious establish it, because they think no evil can
be so bad as that which would attend another revo-
luton They would prefer it is true, constitutional
monarchy; but they believe that that could only be
attained through another bloody revolution, which
would be followed by another series Of disastrous
mercial calamties The number composing this club
is e. timated at nearly half the Assembly.
The club of the Palais National collected round the
members Of the ex-provisional government and the
late executive commission as a nucleus. Dupont (de
rEure) Arago Marie Marrast and GARNER Pages take
prominent parts in it, 1t joined also by the ultra
democrats socialists, communists of every shade and
originally formed about half the Assembly The lead
ing doctrines it favored those of extreme demo-
crscy but mostly in the composition especially
as regarded the doctrines Of socialism, communism,
the orga nization of labor, &C.
After while these two great re- unions resolved
themselves into Others according to the prevailing
opinions Of their sections An oh.shot of the club OF
the Rue de Poictiers formed consisting of small
number Of members who belonged to the old egtimst
party, such as M. Berger, and who held opinions on
certain points not quite in harmony with those of NJ
THEIRS and his friends without actually desorting
the main body in the Rue de Poictiers by refusing to
cooperate with them on important points, this little
section has nevertheless private reunions" held at
the houses of its leading members.
Opinions being still more motley at the Palais Ma
tiona greater and more decided mas
place among its members. That section Of the club
which adopts the doctrines Of communism and social
ISM and the organization Of labor has entirely scpa
rated from the club of the Pa.is National and formed
q reunionn Of its own, which first met in the Rue
des Pyramides, and more recently in the Rue Castig
lone. The leading members of this club Messrs.
hou, Lagrange, SC. Its numbers from seventy to
eighty, The prisoners Of Vincennes, Messrs. Barbes,
Albert, Raspail, Blanqui, &c., belong to thislclub 1t
equally sympathized with the movement of the 18th
of May and would have supplied the new provisional
cessful Thus this club represents the most extreme
democratic opinions.
There is another oshoot from the club Of the Palas
National characterized by opinions the reverse Of
those which produced the club Of the Rue Castglione
This section at the Palace of the Institute and
has obtained the Of the club of the Institute 1t
10 characterized by moderate opinions and decidedly
opposes the club of the Rue Castglione.
Nothing but personal antipathes prevent the re-
union of the Institute from coalescing with the club
of the Rue dc Poictiers The number Of this oshoot
of the Institute is from forty to fifty,
From this statement 1t will be seen that extreme de-
mocratc opinions and especially the party OF the com
munists and socialists are in extremely small NIL
nority in the Assembly They make up, however,
for their want numbers by certain virulence Of
spirit which resembles fanatcism. Nothing abash
them; defeated again and again by immense MAORI
ties they reproduce their doctrines with all the peril
nacty and faith Of the apostles Of an infant religion
They declare that Christianity is worn out and will
speedily be from human society they think that
the institutions of family and property are old peu-
must depart as certainly Christianity the human
race, according to them, should form joint stock
company, laboring in common and sharing profits
