The removal of the National Assembly Il

KIM so lnceused the menbcrs that Tor long
lime they would not meet IN session. oh lhe
ogth of November meeting took pace, pu'
ouly I5l members attended, and the Assembly
again stood adlourned.
I' M. Simon motion to cal mp the subs'i
,u,cs of the abscul Deputies, caused large
accession on the 30th, on Which day l05 mem
! bets were present, and l3 represented them
selves ~ absent only from ndsposlion or'bnsl'
! ness II was therefore deemed more prudent
| to adjourn once more, and on The hfsl oi De

greatly incrcas d. On that day 90 deputies

one of their number, applied for an ADJOURN

inegatived by ll5 to .i3, - :,
Il The election of ne " President was called
for, bw the newly arrived deputies refused to-
take any part in il, and Quilted the Assembly
en ,nasse as they entered it. This reduced The
Chamber below the necessary number and The
choice of President could not be proceeded
with. NJ Simon moved a resolution, author
izng the Ministry TO call up the substitutes OF
the deputies who had quilted the sitting. 10
voted for the resolution and only one deputy
voted against it, but no less than 81 declined
voting at all. The Assembly WAS then ad-
;onrn,d I'LL Thursday, the 1lh of December.
Meanwhile the King, believing that the
practical working OF the Administration was
= ,muosslble. resolved upon a bold step IN ad-
vance. Finding his Legislative Assembly
stubbornly impracllcable, he dissolved 1t alto
re,hor, and requested the Prusslan nation to
accent 4 Charter cut down under his own sup
eryslon. :.
The charter thus rendered is in fact the sell
same broad bol,olned constitution originally
pronounced to the Assembly, with some en-
endalions, mostly insignificant ne mos
