voted, il is asserted with almost the universally o
the House, for the order Of The day. pure and sum-
ME. But this effort Of Gen. @. was made the oc-
casion Of triumph of another sort. The denial was
accompanied by expressions which, by universal
consent. have been taken as conveying the frank,
uneoniyocal. decided adhesion of Gen. Changarnier
10 the Assembly, in case of any hagrant dissension
between the Legislative and Executive powers. II
was now perfectly clear in spite OF the assertions
of the Bonapartst journals that the reconciliation
was perfect and that the General was devoted to
the President, that Changarnier, while at the head
of the army, would mol only not execute, but would
no, permit coup Fetat against the Assembly.
The journals of Sunday announced the dissolu-
ton of The Cabinet as having taken place the day
before. The vote of Friday evening, says the
Constitutional, was not the cause, it was only the
occasion of the dissolution. That vote was the last
drop which caused the vessel, already full, TO over
flow. The course of the Assembly since the re-
opening had been continued repetition Of dstrust,
insult, ndignity, and hostile demonstrations on the
part of the Assembly towards the person and the
Cabinet of the President. The Ministers could
stand it no longer, and must withdraw. From Sa-
turday to the present time hundred various COM
bnations have been essayed 10 form Ministry that
could command majority in the House. In vain.
The Elysee understood the expressions Of Chan
GARNER, as did the Assembly itself, and makes the
acceptance of Gen. C.'s removal the sine qua non
of any new Cabinet 1t was deemed certain that
the removal of Gen. G. would appear in to-day's
Monifeur. 1t does not, however. Yesterday the
BurgraUes-O -Orleanist and Legtimist Parliamen-
tary leaders, Theirs, Beryer, Dupin, Mole,
d'Broglie, Odillon Barrot, and Montalembert-
were summoned to the Elysee. M. Bonaparte re-
newed his protestations of devotion to the Consttu-
och phoro
of legality and to make all necessary sacrifices to en-
sure and maintain harmony with the majority Of
the Assembly. He would give up the prerogatve
of his powers, the dotation il need be, but Gen.
Changarnier must not and should not continue in
his present post. The majority leaders replied
that the dismissal of Changarnier could not fail to
be casus beli. All save Nj. Montalembert opposed
it unreservedly. After four hours conference M.
Bonaparte dismissed the gentlemen saying, Gen
temen, / shall be infexble upon this point" If
the majority do not come over, it is said that the
President, acknowledging the responsibility OF the
present position means to resign and appeal to the
people. For the last four or five days this course
has been advocated by the Pouuoir as the only
possible means of settling disputes. On the other
hand, if the President forms Cabinet in spite of
majority, and dsmisses Gen. c. the latter will be
Immediately invested with the command Of militia
ry forces in the service of the Assembly-perhaps
even NJ. Dupin will resign in order that Gen. c.
may be invested with the power and dignity of
President Of the Assembly. France is certainly at
this moment in most important crisis. Without
consummate discretion and ability, civil war, Of most
venomous character, may be soon raging over the
whole extent OF the Republic. Then the end will
be near, and the man will arise who will play the
part, not of Monk, that is impossible not of a
Washington, that is still more impossble but of a
Cromwell or Napoleon. ~
Well, for the good of France in view of the ac-
tual condition of France, parties and society, am
inclined to say $50 be n!' The sooner Crom-
we'll shows himself the better.
