FRANCE.
VARIOUS MATTERS
PARIS, Dec Sin the Assembly to-day a
motion was made by Duchatel for the removal
of the Assembly and seat of Government to
Paris. There was an animated debate, which
promises to be protracted one although there
is little doubt of the Chamber being in favor of
it.
The appeals of the Communists convicted of
the murder of Gen. Lecompt and Thomas and
sentenced to death has been rejected by the
commission of pardons, and there is no hope
that Theirs will interpose to remove the final
decision.
Theirs message recommends an annual army
contingent of 10000 instead of 10000, as before
reported.
STORMY MEETING OF THE ASSEMBLY.
PARIS, Dec S-Evening. session of the
Assembly to-day was very turbulent. A vote
of urgency was demanded upon the question of
the future form of Government and refused
Pouyer Quertier, Minister of Finance, an
nounced that he will present the budget for
1872 tomorrow. A bill was presented annul-
ing the decree confscating the property of the
Orleans princes. A vote of urgency upon bill
providing for the return of the Assembly to
Paris was refused by small majority. The
| Chamber was subsequently the scene of angry
determinations between members. Rovier asked
leave to present resolutions censurng the COM
mittee on pardons for want of clemency towards
convicted communists but the majority pro-
tested violently against the reception of the
document and it was returned to the mover.
THE REPUBLIC MENACED BY THE MoNARcH1srs.
NEW YORK, Dec. S.-A special from Paris
states that the situation in France is grave. The
Orleans princes are pushing things. On Tues
day they sought the advice of Theirs about talk
ing their seats, but he assured them that their
presence in the Assembly would arouse many
animosltes; that the movement was inoppor-
tune; that the Bonapartists, Red Republicans
and Legitimist journals would clamor, and that
the Republic was menaced. The princes an
swered that they would not act without further
consideration. There was no misunderstanding
but Theirs showed extreme anxiety to prevent
the pIinces from taking their seats. The same
night the members of the commission upon the
abrogation of the law of exile were called to-
! gether urgently: Should they abrogate the law
of exile, the princes will perhaps enter the
Chamber.
Theirs regarding this as menace to the Re-
pnblic, will present to the Assembly PROPOSE
! ton for definite Republican government. 1t
| is believed that the issue must be thus precp-
tated, or the Republic will fall. The impression
! is general that if DUO d Aumale acts now he
| will succeed, as it is thought he can command
majority in the Chamber ON the question of
Monarchy or Republic.
