Minister Of War and the President. The final vote
was 300 for the proposition 20 40s against IT, The
mass of the Republicans voted Nay, though Gen.
Cavaenac and some OF his immediate friends voted
Aye. We take from the correspondence Of The
London Times the following comments on this i'm

The importance Of Mondays debate, II debate

position acquired by the President OF the Republic

oltlonal notice, however brief. The more that
debate is considered, the more Is struck
with the immense advantages acquired 10 the
Executive, whether by chance skill. The

cree Of the Constituent Assembly, issued, as It
was, under peculiar circumstances, before the Con-
stltutOn was vet framed, and while the Constituent,
the only governing power of the day, under the
oaily menace Of invasion from the mOos Of the au-
bOurgs. seems now disposed Of forever. Neither
MI Dupin nor NJ BaZe may still cherish the hope OF
charging In person az the head OF army of $1,000
or 100000 men the pTlTeege OF demanding an armed
force TO protect the Assembly, still remains where
was, ard any such demand mus. be made through the
Minister al War, or the Commander in-Chef. acting
under his orders This not the only advantage, nor,
t. my mind, the most extraordinary. The doctrine OF
the passive obedience OF the army hitherto strongly
contt sted BY. and hateful to- the Mountain, is now
recognized Dy that same Mountain The last and des
peraie attempt of NJ Theirs, who IN the very agony
of his opposition denounced the circular o. the
Minister at War establishing that cOctrnc and who
was driven to more revolutionary doctrines than the
Revouonists themselves, failed as dep.Ora' ally As the
rest Il was IN vain he held up thIt circular
before the eyes OF the beHIldeTed Noun
tain, and shook II again and again, even
as the bull.fghter waves the crimson flag to rouse
10 madness the animal whose destruction Is his am
al NAT
yel so hateful as VI. Theirs and the cause he had
advocated. In looking over the lists Of the division
II will he found that the statement OF the prlsans
OF the Regency, that the Government had gone over
10 the Mountain, is not strictly true. The 800

tiOn Of II is taken from that very Mountain the
party of order has so much cried on, against,
ard which their new friend Colonel charraS was
so near winnlng over entirely to their side. The
other fraction of the Mountain that voted
against the proposition. so voted, not so mu;h
out of love fer the Elysee, or the Government, as
from utter disbelief IN the sincerity OF VI. liners
and those sho coaesced with MN. and whose lnStl-
ea.or he has been. But If the Elysee had gone TO
the Mountain, had not the men OF order repeat
odly set it the example II was the coalition OF
those men of order with the Mountain winch re-
erted the dotaton, and II was the same comolna-
ton which overthrow the first Baroche Ministry.
and which threw out tue revision OF the Constitu-
ton and Yesterday, IN the Signt o. the pQOnc
which crowded the tribunes. nothing c0uld surpass
the efforts the enlTeales, the prayers, even to hu-
initiation, made use Of by those naughty men OF
order 10 induce the Mountain 10 vote with them.
Had the proposition passed. II Is fearful 10 reflect on
what might have been the consequences. SO soon
as the ex.malOrity had got posseSso on OF the army
the story OF the President OF the Republic and OF
the Assembly itself would soon have been told-un-
less We suppose Gen ChangarRler and MS friends TO
be idiots. The fate of LOUIS Napoleon would soon
indeed have been decided that IS unless h refused
to submit his neck TO the bOwstrlng. What he
would have done TO defend himself from his enc

ger has passed away. As 1t IL, II is admitted that
his postiOn has never been higher III the country
since the election of the 10th OF December.
Notwithstanding the large majority which re-
ected the proposition, there were some moments IN
the course of yesterdays proceedings whenthe affair
seemed almost hopeless VI. Theirs actually clapped
his hands with JOY when he heard Col. ChArras' the
associate of Gen. Cayaignac, and an lntuentalmen-
Der of the Mountain declare his intention OF voting
for the proposition. NJ. Vltets sudden exclamation,
which in spite of HIM showed the real OBJECT OF the
proposition, turned the scales once more and the
sarcasms of NJ Jules Fayre the night of led
fear and watching passed by NJ Theirs, vi. Baze and
others in the Assembly covered them with rldlcule.
