FRANCE,

Another De TOcqueyilie Coming TO
America.
PARIS, Sept. I'm. De Tocqueville,
nephew of the late distinguished states
man and politician, will probably receive
the appointment of French Minister to
Washington.
The Amenities of the Assembly,
NEW YORK, Sept. 13.-Paris CORES
pondents of the London papers of the
31st ult, describe the scenes in the As
sembly as follows:
N. Baragnon excited tie wrath of N.
Testller to such an extent that the latter
shouted that he had licked the boots of
the late government, on which voice
from the Right retorted ''you blacked
them"
The scene which followed this inter-
change of civilities was unparalleled even
IN the enmities of this most turbulent As
sembly. nj. Decissy rushed at M. Tes-
tiller SIS though with the intention of
throttling him The Right rose to their
feet as if to charge in the benches of the
Left and seemed altogether TO forget
Theirs speech Of q few days ago, in
which he said his principal cccu-
patton was TO prevent rival
parties in the Chamber from flying at
each others throats. They were literally
doing so now, and Grevy after vainly
rigging the bell seemed to come to the
conclusion that he would leave them to
fight it out and turned to put on his hat.
1t was not to be found. For q moment
The scene was animated to the last degree.
NJ. Grevy and his huissiers in charge of
his hat, the Deputies roaring and shak-
ing their fists in each others faces.
At last Grevy found his nat, and the
members, at the same time, seemed to
f1sd their tempers; so, after putting it on,
after second or two ne took it off again,
and Testellin came forward and made an
apology, but in teD minutes was as bad
as before, if not trifle worse.
Every now and then one side, not the
speaker, but those sitting in the house,
would utter a word or cry, which would
be dlstastsful to others. Then some of
the opposite side would jump on to
their feet shake their fists at those
over the way, .gesticulate, below,
roar and stamp like mad men.
Livery speaker from the Tribune com
menced by saying that he wished above
all things not to use insinuating words,
yet ere five minutes were over he was de-
nouncing his opponents and their princi-
Piles as if they were the enemies of
France, not Frenchmen like themselves.
The Approaching Recess.
LONDON, Sept. ia special dispatch
to the Times from Versailles, says Tniers
sent message to the Assembly on Tues
day, which will be read to-day. He urges
the adoption of proposition for a pIO-
visionsl increase OF taxes. He is sorry
that the wearints3 of the members
at the approach of vacation pre-
vents the discussion of new taxes,
with the necessary freedom of mind, and
thinks it best that the Chamber soon sep
arate, to re-assemble at an early day. In
conclusion, the President says he relies
on the patriotism of the country for the
perfect tranquility and order which
France needs 10 revive her credit.
The Assembly Vote O Recess.
VERSAILLES, Sept 13.-In the Assem-
bly, to-day long message from Thiers
was received, the reading of which lasted
half an hour. Theirs frankly asks the
Deputies to ascertain from their constitu-
ents at home whether the country wishes
for reconstruction based on glorious tra-
ditions of thousand years or for the
abandonment of the ship of State to a
torrent leading to an unknown future; in
brief, whether the people want q mon
archy or republic.
The message was cordially received,
some passages provoking laughter.
The Assembly then proceeded to dis
cuss and finally adopted the bill providing
for the prorogation of the session from
from the 17Ih of September until
the 4th of December, 1871. The main
feature of the bill is the appointment of
committee of twenty five to control the
Government during recess.
The NatiOnals-The GrIeanIsfs.
Orders to put in force the law for the
disarmament of the National Guards has
been sent to the departments of Rhone,
Gard aud Loire.
The Patrie Intimates that after the re-
cess, Duke d'Aumale and Prince de
Joinville will take their seats in the As
semb'y.
