PARIS, August 1.-THE following is the
conclusion of Jules Favre's remarks in the
proceedings of the Corps Legislatif yes
terday: 4.
Jules Favre said the Cabinet need not
meet to decide, but need not retard the
action of the Chambers. The commission
must give report, and we must deliberate
at once.
Jerome David said the government had
made known its opinion.
Jules Favre: This chamber must decide.
n. Theirs rose to speak, but could hardly
be heard. He advocated an immediate de-
cision upon the question.
Remember. said Favre, how significant it
will be to the nation if you put off the de-
Liberation: Iteration We place upon you the re-
Minister David replied: You may as
sumo it.
The members of the left asserted this
was menace.
Jules Favre answered, think of the effect
of delay; remember that the ministry had
promised to invade the territory Of the
enemy, and now they are on ours.
Here the tumult became extreme. Deputy
Gambetta mounted the tribune, but could
not be heard. At last the Corps became
calmer, and Mr. Gambetta said, the Minis
ter of Public Works has changed the ques-
ton the Chambers will vote under a wrong
impression.
The members of the Left asked for arms
for a patriotic purpose.
Minister David-Let us suppose the de-
mand for arms was only to trouble the pub.
lie peace; the Chambers must know what it
votes tor. There must be no equivocation.
The minister replied that the government
did not seek to equivocate.
At last it was decided, by vote of ITO to
79, that the question of reOrganizing the
National Guard go over until Tomorrow
The President expressed desire to close
the meeting, but Deputy Estanctin insisted
on a vote. that the Chambers be in perma-
nent session as long as the war continues
Favre renewed the agitation by demand
to know why state of siege is continued
as if against enemies within the CITY of
Paris.
A voice answered, but it was, impossible
to hear more.
LONDON, August l0.-A later dispatch
from a Paris special correspondent, Tues
justice to the confusion and scandalous tn m
multi in the Corps Legislatif
1t was known in advance by many men,
bers that an order had come from Metz to
turn out Olivier, the Emperor seeking to
propitiate Paris by sacrificing the most un-
popular and least responsible of his ad-
visers. Olivier himself had not the least
suspicion of his fate. He came smiling into
the Chambers only to leave it, pale, terrified
and ruined.
The strong minority vol of ffty-three
for Jules Favre's plain proposal for revolu-
ton, was partly due to the knowledge that
Olivier would be succeeded by a purely
personal and re-actionary ministry.
Personal conflicts with ministers were not
confined to the Left. Chassagnac's threats
to shoot deputies of the Left, was a sign5I
for general outbreak. There is no attempt
to deny his words. They appear in bR. the OH.
cial report in a modified form : aft sat on
the benches OF the government, you should
all be handed over this evening to a court
martial"
The official report adds: Jules Simon. ad

claimed, If You wish to shoot US, we are
ready" At the same moment, Estanctin,
me well known Orleanist, Ferry, and other
deputies sprang down into the centre.
A pointed sneer from Due De Grammont
brought him into collision with Estauetin.
Not one lnterfered, and for some moments
mere was q general melee. When order
vas restored Picard remarked that in the
yes OF France it was criminal to organize
md arm the National Guard. If majority
efuses, he would appeal to higher authority,
hat is to the people.
Ministers David and Schneider called W.
TO order and for explanation.
Picard replied, If the Chamber, which 1
10 not believe, has confidence in the Minis
ry, II 1t refuses arms to the citizens, nv
pinion is that the people ought, themselves,
o procure them by all possible means.

NJ. David pleaded postponement OF the

NJ. Olivier said: Time is precious.

M. keraty followed with a proposal for
dication, saying: 'When Napoleon was
feated France took upon herself the di-
ctlon OF affairs. The confidence of the
ople was withdrawn from the Chief of

Honicker called violently for order, and
g discussion was closed.
After two hours intermiss;on Latour
