PARIS, July 8, 1880
To-day is one of great interest in the Assembly.
The bill destructive of the liberty of the press is the
order of the day. The entrance for spectators,
which is on the Place du Palais Bourbon, is beseg-
ed by long lines Of welldressed ladies and gentle
men, waiting with tickets in their hands to improve
the earliest moment of admission to secure good
seats. Several days ago, so soon as ii became
known that the day for the discussion was fixed,
the members were beset with applications from
friends and acquaintances. Six thousand is calcu-
lated by the questors to have been the number of
applicants. Many have been disappointed, for the
accommodations are insufficient and the places
awarded by favor: so that, in fact though theory
| supposes and the constitution prescrbes that the
sttngs be public, the public is not SO truly or so
freely admitted there as to the theatres. The only
sense in which the public can be said to attend,

the journals. l. stated in my last, believe, the
principal provisions of the new bill. The opposition
to it in the daily press and in all the departments of
literature, whose interests held to be more or
less affected by the law, is universal. believe
there is positively not journal in France that has
not expressed in explicit terms its disapprobation
of the bill. The only advocate it had some eight
or ten weeks since, when the subject first attracted
attention, the Napoleon, is defunct. Even La Pa
trie, even lie ConstifhionneI, even lie Pouvoar'
the only pure Bonapartist paper in Paris, have
come out decidedly against the measure. A slngu-
lar, an unprecedented spectacle this-the Ministry
abandoned by every one of its journals 1t is not
believed the bill will pass. think its success very
doubtful, but am inclined upon the whole to believe
it will succeed Laws more outrageous in every
sense Of the word have been recently enacted: and
its rejection upon constitutional grounds would be
ridiculous and affected scrupulousness.
The PRESIDENT may begin to have, like his Uncle
the Emperor, confidence in protecting star. He
very narrowly escaped on Friday last an attempt

on service in front of the Presidential residence,
observed young man whose unquiet air and
unusual department attracted their notice and ex-
| cited their suspicion. He was evidently await
ing about the principal entrance on the rue 81. Ho-
more with some fixed intent. But as it is daily
occurrence for persons to seize the moment OF the
Presidents departure from his palace to present
petitions or simply to catch glimpse of his per-
son. this of itself was not sufficient to cause his
