correspondent, Tuesday night, says no
description can do justice TO the ConlI-
sion and scandalous tumult in the Corps
Legislatit.
Il was known in advance by many
members that an order had come from
Metz to turn out Olivier, the Emperor
seeking to propitiate tho people Of Paris
by sacrificing the most unpopular and
least responsible Of his advisers. Jules
Favres plain proposal for revolution was
partly due to the knowledge that Olivier
would DO succeeded by purely personal
and reactionary Ministry. The personal
conflicts with the Ministers were not con-
fined to the Left. Casagnac's threat to
shoot the Deputies of the Lett was the
signal for general outbreak. There Is
no attempt to deny his words. They ap-
pear in the official report in moderate
form, "Ir sat on the bench OF the Gov
ernment, you should all be handed over
this evening to the courts martha" The
official report adds: "Jules Simon, advanc-
ing into the middle Of the hull, exclaimed,
If you wish to shoot US We, are ready:
At the same moment EstanCclen, tue well
known Orlcanist, Ferry and other Depu:
ties, sprang down tho centre. A pointed
sncer from Gramont brought him into col
lision with Estancelcn. Valdromc inter.
fcred, and for some moments there was u
general melee"
When order was restored, Picard said
III the Chamber, which l do not believe,
has confidence in the ministers, refuses
arms 10 the citizens, my opinion Is that
the people ought themselves to procure
them by all possible means"
STRENUOUS EFFORTS FOR INTERVENTION.
LONDON, August 10.
French diplomacy is strivingt to retrieve
the disasters of French arms. Strenuous
efforts are emaking for English and other
intervention in the EmperoTs favor, to
arrest the Prussian march and secure al'
lies. The Moaiteur says important an
swcrs are Immediately expected, but no
semi.oftlcial statement Is trustworthy.
There Is no reason to believe Napole0ns
appcals will be successful. The English
Ministry are capable Of almost anything
for peace sake, but English opinion will
not tolerate diplomatic Intervention at
such q moment. Extreme impattence is
already manifested ut the unsatisfactory
character O.! the new arrangement for
Belgian neutrality, under which England
might suddenly be called on To fight
against Prussia, with whom she sympa-
thizcs, and for the Emperor, who
has forfeited the utterly foolish cont
dence formerly given him. The favor
able impression made by Gladstone's
statement has already disappeared. The
new treaty is now regarded rs a device to
get rid of all liability for Belgium ut the
end Of twelve months after the war, and
it is asked, Suppose that France or lrlls-
sia had refused to assent, what was the
English Government prepared to dor So
far as known, nothing, until coerced by
public indignation. It Is the dread OF be.
ing forced TO do something which has led
the Government TO hurry up an adjourn
ment of Parliament, and suspcnding the
rules to get appropriation bills through. II
shrinks from questions. What the public
fears Is that during the recess their defer
cntial diplomacy with France Is to be re-
sumcd. A debate broke out again ycster-
day alarming tho Cabinet, and could only
be stifled by the promise Of last oppor-
tunity for discussion tomorrow. With
the Government in such mood an ad-
iournment is, calamity, but probably can
not be successfully resisted.
