three ways. Either the ,Orleanists and Legitimists
in the Assembly will succeed in their project Of
wrestling the Executive power, by constitutional or
ultra-constitutional MEANS from the hands of M Bo
naparte, and placing it in the hands of creature Of
their own, exercising it themselves as revolu-
tionary convention; NJ Bonaparte will succeed in
coup dstat against the Assembly, and dispense
with Legislature, or make it subservient to HIM.

IN spite of mutual antipathies and Of constitutional
impediment, concur with M. Bonaparte in continu-
ing him in power for another term of years. The
parties in the Assembly will unite upon M. Bona
parte as, being actually in possession of power and
not to be dispossessed the only available against
the Republicans, who cannot be overcome without
the concurrence of the Executive with them. M.
Bonaparte will accede to the PLAN because unable to

the others, to arrive at its own particular end.
The attempt to realize either of the three hypothe-
SEES above alluded to would think there can be
little doubt Of this-drive every thing that repub
lican and democratic in France, from Cayaignao to
Girardin, Barbes, and Pierre Leroux, to arms. If
this rush to arms by the republicans takes place at
moment when the Executive and Legislative pow
themselves hostile to each other, as in the
two first suggestions, then believe--in view Of
the probable excuses that follow, should rather
say, perhaps, fear-the victory would remain to
the reds In the third superstition think they (the
reas) would be eventually crushed. Even since the
date Of my last during the last four days, an i'm
portant change has taken place in the position Of
parties. The mail Of last Thursday left the Bona
partists in high spirits on account of the failure Of
the Questor's bill the Monday previous. That vote
siderations which have submitted above with re-
gard to it, greatly strengthen the Presidents posi-
ton. / should not be surprised to find that it had
given him the power to conquer in the approaching
conflict. At the present moment, however, the
hopes of the discounted parliamentarians are high
and rising They expect to recover lost ground, and
carry the day in an attack upon the Elys@e. The
organic bill upon the responsibility of the President
and other functionaries, prescribing the cases in
which they may be impeached and afixing penalties,
has just been reported to the Assembly from the
Council Of State. One Of it's articles contemplates
the case Of President Of the Republic provoking
his own reelection, in opposition to the forty fifth
article of the constitution which declares that unc
tonary to be ineligible till after the interval Of one
term and also the Of any attempt in conspiracy
the part of the President to destroy change the
form of Government or to suspend the operation Of
the constitution laws. The Left is pledged to the
support of this bill with greater unanimty than that
with which it rejected the Questors bill last Thurs
day. 1t is considered that this bill will afford the
republicans an opportunity to explain their votes of
Thursday, and prove to M. Bonaparte that they are
no less hostile to him than to the Orleanists and
Legtimists The bill is universally held to be
emincntly hostile to the President It is pro-
posed to add clause formally asserting the right Of
direct requisiton, and Furnishing by impeachment the
denial Of this right. The committee in the Assem-
bly, to which the bill is referred overwhelmingly
in favor Of its passage-fourteen to one. The COM
tren,e Left voted for by Orleanists and Legitimiss,
in order to compromt the party to it's support when
the debate in the Assembly shall come on. The
Coastitutiondlia of to-day says that an alliance
against Bonaparte has been formed between the Or
leanists, Legtimists and the Republicans; the OBJ
ject Of which is to get rid of M. Bonaparte by i'm
parchment and imprisonment and place dictator
ship in the hands, not of Gen. Changarnier, who
was VIGOROUSLY designated the parliamentary hero
last week, but Of Cavaigndc. do not credit this.
The Left will vote upon this occasion against the
reactionsts Of the Assembly would consent upon any
terms to replace power in the hands of Cavaignac.
They would prefer Bonaparte himself
