New YORK, August A Paris
special gives the following particulars
about the caucus OF the Left Centre of
the National Assembly which voted
yesterday for the prolongation Of
Thiers' Powers as President of the Re-

Republicans, were convened by a circu
lar which bore the signature Of Gam
BETA and others for the purpose Of
shaping a policy for the party, and to
take some definite action concerning
the proposed extension Of Theirs term
of office. The meeting was very har-
monious. All the members spoke in
praise of Theirs administration and
recommended him as the onl y man
who is now capable to keep the balance
between all parties. The meeting de-
,cided to support Theirs in his policy
of moderation and to discourage the
manGuvres of the Legitimitists and
Bonapartists. One Deputy submit
ted motion requesting the Govern
ment to abstain from all interference in
Roman affairs. On a call, of the
question, it was accepted. The caucus
then voted, one hundred and ninety
against FIVE, to advocate in the National
Assembly the prolongation OF Thiers
powers for three years, with the proviso
that Thiers should bear the title of
President of the French Republic, in
stead of Chief Executive as heretofore.
The meeting resolved, by the same
vote, to create the office of Vice Presi-
dent to be at the same time President
of the Council. 1t was further decided
to express confidence in Thiers by Civ
ing him the power to choose the Vice
President, but Theirs alone is to be re
sponsible for the government. 49,
