and stormy debate, It having been proposed as a

was rejected by majority of 407 to 1877.

M. Rateau's motion respecting the dissolution OF

Ministers, shall be voted before the dissolution.
Art 4. The deree Of the 18th Dec 1848 Is aunulled,

The discussion has been most violent. M. de
Lamartlne spoke in favor of dissolution. In the
course of his speech, he made several remarks
which were not by any means palatable to the re-
publlcans de la VeHe, :and the other advocates Of
The present Assembly. He declared that the As
semby was not in accordance either with itself,
with the opinion of the country, or with the exc
cutlve government To the fears expressed by
many persons, that the future choice of representa-
tives to be made by the electors would not be suAi
GENTLY republican he replied Even IT that be
France against her will % But he denied that the
republic was SO repulslve to France had been
alleged. There was species of republic which
France accepted, and another which she execrated
and repudiated He then drew an eloquent picture
of the Two republics to which the accounts pub
hshed of his speech are far from doing justice;
| The mode in which he desci the republic of
anarchy, the republic of the clubs the professions
OF zoo, 900 men, on the 18th of March, the re-
| public ct the invasion OF the 18th of May, and the
teng to the revolution Of 1S49 but it was received
| by by t. large majority OF the Assembly with an
amount OF enthusiastic applause that showed how
mastery the picture was telt to be. The remainder
| OF M de LamaItine's speech was not SO success
| full. The language IN which he expressed himself
| was very obscure, and his opinions were so cyn-
Trajectory, that II was impossible tOguess on which
side his vote would ultimately be, till he arrived
at the end, and announced that he intended to vote
| Tor the motion OF M. de Lanjuinais
| After M. de Lamartlne's speech, a scene of
great confusion followed The greater portion of
| the members wished to come 20 division at
once, but to this the Montague which felt that it
was In the minority, objected, under pretence that
IN the first instance 1t was necessary to discuss
some seven or eight sub-amendments, of which
notice had been given N the course OF the day.
| The moderate party declared that they had no OBJ
| lection to vote on the amendments, provided the
division was proceeded TO at once; but to this M.
| Sauteyra and some others objected that they felt
II necessary to develop their opinions before pro.
ceediDg to vote. Upon this the parrisans OF the
adjournment rose IN body and quilted the hall,
| while the greater portion of the moderate party
| ped in fhei plapes The President anDea red
for some moments to be uncertain what to do, but
| the NOISE and confusion continuing, he suddenly
put on his hat, and Notwithstanding the remon-
| strances OF the Right, declared the sitting adj
| jeurned M. Marrast is greatly blamed by the
| organs of the government Tor his conduct. They
| say that on this, as on every other occasion, he
throws the weight of his authority President on
the side OF the Montagnards. But the be so,
why do the Moderates vote for him The Mon
tagnards will gain little, however, by the adjourn
ment. The Assembly now feels that 1t has lost
| all authority with the country, and that Its days
are numbered; and, Tor the sake of It's dignity, 1t
will walk out rather than wait to be kicked out OF
