In FRANCE quiet is the order of the day. The
most triaing questions occupy the Assembly and
the public. Paris excels itself in gayetes and bu-
sness thrives. The Times speaks Of the recent
exploits of the Assembly in the following terms,

NJ. Yon's whole conduct was exceedingly suspic-

the Government or the Eysee the wild and crim-

and, at any rate, even the late trial, he exhib

natural than to place the guardianship of the As
sembly in more prudent hands than those of M.
Yon, who had made NJ. Dupin ridiculous, and
alarmed the country. But this was point on
which the officers Of the Assembly, with whom
the appointment seems to rest, could by no means
agree. violent debate ensued among them
with closed doors, and NJ. Dupin succeeded in
maintaining NJ Yon in his former position-two
out Of the four Vice Presidents voting each way.
