II was not to be expected that SO numerous a
body as the National Assembly Of France, elected
by varying constituency to political opinions
and tendencies as the people of France and coming
together under the influences of so many different
predictions and prejudces. should long remain
without some party organization. Such an organ-
cation has taken place. The Assembly is already
separated by lines Of demarcation sufficiently dis
tinc 1t is divided into three clubs, one of which
assemblies in the Rue de Poicters, and includes
nearly all the exdeputes of the gaacte and centre
gauche that have been returned to the Assembly,
as also the chief part Of the Legitimsts, such as
MN. THEIRS, o. BARRoT, DUFAURE, BERRYER,
DC. This club also includes large part of the
new members Of the Assembly who are in favor of
a moderate republic, giving strong guarantees for
the protection Of property and for the maintenance
of public order. large majority of its members
are averse to single chamber, and would, if it
were practicable, fix some limitation to the right Of
Suffrage.
4 The second club meets in the Palas Royal the
nucleus is formed of the members of the Provi-
sional Government of February and their friends,
with the exception of MN. LAMARTINE and LEDRU
RoLLIN, who have not attached themselves to any
party. In all its most important particulars and
principles this club agrees with the first mentioned
to form an overwhelming majority in the Assembly,
except personal antipathies, which in this

club are MN. DUPoNT, (DE L'EURE,) ARAGo, GAR
NIER PAGES, MARRAsT, CoRMENIN, &c. A strong
repusion exists personally between the leaders Of
this club and M. THEIRS, who is the soul OF the
club assembling at the Rue de Poictiers neverthe-
less opinion begins to prevail that union be-
tween these clubs will be effected. M. THEIRS is
known attachment to legitimacy, and this unpopuary has
extended General LAMoRIcIERE in degree, and for
better than that he married Mademosele DosSR

of Frenchwomen, and nearly all the Of the middle
classes. But though the Provisional Government of ls4s
not desired but deprecated by these classes they accept
ed because they weaed with change and felt that the
work going supported by the young the ardent and
the determined party which in all countries is the
powerful in producing changes. The principal difference be-
tween the two clubs which have alluded will be the
