BORDEAUX, Feb. t5,--World special Affairs
are moro promising for the republicans. Four
hundred aud eight-one deputies have arrived

action of the assembly to a ratification of the
terms of peace, and to postpone other matters
until the adjournment to Paris.
BORDEAUX, Feb. 15-The assembly to-day was
engaged in a vCrhCation of the elections of its
members. Electoral reports from Alsace and
Lorraine caused warm demonstrations of SYM
pathy for those provinces. The assembly VIII
proceed tomorrow to constitute new govern
ineDt. Deputies, on leaving the assembly cham
Der, were greatly cheered by the pOpulace.
Herald special: A settled purpose is manifest
among the deputies now here to accomplish two
things, viz: The overthrow of the violent repub
licans, and the removal of the future seat of
government lrom Paris, in order that the coun-
try be no longer at the mercy of the mobs of the
capital Personal conversation with members
induces the belief that Il temperate provisional
government will first be formed. Theirs, Grevy,
rrochu, DeleScuZe and Dorian are iayorably
mentioned, and in connection with some prom
nent citizens throughout the provinces, are GER
tam to be placed in power, and it is believed
that the duty of deciding the eventual form OF
government will be entrusted to them.
The radicals are energeucally at work, re-
solved not to part with power without strug-
gle. They are making earnest appeals and 'io'
lent speeches among the people, but uninean-
ing cries for prolongation of the war and no
surrender have evidently lost their force. The
conservatives are quiet and confident. There is
a strong under current in favor of the Orlean-
lists. The election of the princes is likely to be
declared valid NM. Thiers and Favre have
mude earnest appeals TO Chanzy, Faidherbe, and
other commanders to appeal to the patriotism
of the army TO preserve order in France. 1t
necessary, the organization of the armies will
be kept for that purpose IT is believed that a
moderate course of the assembly will secure a
modification Of Prussian demands.
