In the National Assembly, to-day, the Government
proposed plan for the organization of volunteers,
which was adopted. Under its terms every depart
ment of France is to send to Versailles Immediately

ernment. A proposition for the appointment of a
committee of fifteen members of the Assembly to
proceed to Paris and assist in restoring order was
also favorably considered.
Several of the Mayors of ACCOMPLISHMENTS in Paris,
who were compelled to find safety in fight from the
city, invited to take seats in the Assembly As
they entered the Chamber there was great applause
from the Deputies of the Left, while those of the
Right protested against the action of the body. A
scene of tumult ensued, lasting until the adjourn
ment.
The Minister of the Interior has ordered the Ma
tional Guards of Rouen to make preparations to
defend the Government against the insurrection,
and the Mayor of Lille has issued proclamation
inviting volunteers from that city to march on
Paris.

NEw-YORK, SATURDAY, MARCH 25, 1871.

The Department no longer has single official repre-
sentative in Parliament who can by possibility DO
supposed to know anything of its working. And the
Captain debate is coming on, and the Spencer Rob
inson debate, and the naval estimates are to be
moved, and the country is somehow to be persuaded
that the one military department in which it had
some faith is really efficient, and will continue to
be efficient in the hands of an administrator who
knows all about work-houses, and who has lately
carried on war, more OF less successful against the
ST. Pancras Board of Guardians. 1t is hardly to be
wondered at that Sir John Elphinstone got up last
night in the House and asked Mr.. Gladstone if 1T
was true as the papers said, that Mr.. Gosohen had
been made First Lord of the Admiralty-a story
which he thought incredible. Such question is
without precedent, beeve-at any rate, in such
form. G.w.s.

MoNs-THE GOVERNMENT SUSTAINED BY AN
OVERWHELMING MAJORITY.
LONDON. Friday, March a. 1871.
In the House Of Commons, last evening MI
Mundella caused deep sensation by moving that
while the House approves of the principles OF
the measure for the abolition Of the system of pur
chase of commissions in the army, it believes that
the army and navy can be made efficient without
any increase of expenditure from the ordinary est
mates.
Mr.. Gladstone, in opposing the motion, detailed
many arguments why the House should reserve its
Judgment on the antithesis between the intentions
Of the Government and its past conduct, and stated
that the habitual economy of the Government was
only suspended for time by the pressure of the
exigencies of the late
Messrs. George Dixon and Jacob Bright, both
members from Birmingham, made speeches in elo-
quent denunciation of ministerial extravaganza, and
accusing the Government of having violated its
pledges to the nation
Mr.. Cardwell, Secretary of War, having spoke in
reply division of the House called for, and the
Government was sustained by a majority of 2O4.
Mr.. Leatham, member for Huddersfeld submitted
motion for the reduction of the proposed increase
in the army to 200 men, which, on division, was
rejected by 230 majority.
In the House of Commons, to-day, Mr.. Gladstone
said the Government had no intention of prosecuting
any of the speakers at q recent Republican meeting
in London for reasonable language 1t was stated
that the Easter recess of Parliament would begin on
the 4th and last until the 18th of April Mr.. Stansfed
announced that the opinion of the Law Officers OF
the Crown was adverse to making reclamations on
France for injuries to British subjects residing in
that country; and Mr.. Gladstone followed this up
with the statement that the Government was not
disposed to press claims against France for the prop
erty of British subjects which had been destroyed
Mr.. Gregory moved resolution looking to the i'm
provement of laborers cottages in Ireland. The
motion was supported by the Marquis of Harrington
and others.
In the House of Lords, to-day, debate arose on the
policy of the British Government toward CHINA,
which was denounced BY Earl Grey and the Duke OF
Somerset Earl Granville stated that British man.
of-war had been stationed at each Chinese port, with
orders to act, in cases Of outrage after communi-
eating with the Legation at Pekin
