Meeting of the committee of thirty.

Meeting of the Committee of Thirty.
PAaIs, Dec. 6.-Tbe Committee of thir-
ty, appointed by the Assembly yesterday in
accordance with the motion of Minister
DufOure, held It's first me- etiDg to-day.
The following officers we're elected:
President, Baron De Lsrcy; Vice President,
II. AuC iffre Pasquier; Secretaries, III. A.
Lefevre Pourtales and NJ. Hausgmsnyille.
The organization having been completed
the COMMITTEES adjourned to meet next
Monday, when it will proceed to Business.
4 Law Defining the Responsibility
of Minister'S.
According to the motion by which it was
created, the committee is instructed to
draw up project OF law defining the re-,
sponsibiIity Of Ministers, aud regal ating
the relations of the several powers Of State.
It is expected that it will report a bill &C.
clariDg that any Minister who shall be cen
sured must resign, and excluding Tn Pres
ident from debate in the Assembly, but
giving him, by way of compensation, linz
tied veto power.
SpeculatiOns IS to the Future.
1t is inferred from the political compost
ton Of the committee that any proposition
for dissolution of the Assembly will be Ie-
jscted, and nothing more radical than the
partial renewal Of the Chamber once year
or once every two years will be entertained.
The Bien Publique says the complexion
Of the committee makes the situation al the
more precarious, while the Executive and
Assembly are equally averse to q coup. The
country cannot tolerate the present state Of
affairs. Il intimates that the country should
spontaneously intervene, which is interpTe-
ted to mean that it should continue to send
in petitions in support Of Theirs and his
government.
what Theirs VIII Do.
Timers has resolved that there shall be
no ch apge in the ministry until the report
of the Committee Of Thirty is presented,
then if the report is unfavorable to b in, he
viii oppose it in the Assembly.
An official reception was given at the Ex-
ecutive residence last night which was nU-
merOusly attended. Theirs freely con-
versed with his friends on the political
crisis. He regretted that a partial renewal
OF the Assembly seemed impossible, and de-
clared he was determined to adhere to the
policy announced in his message.
at meeting of the extreme Left to-day
it was decided not TO move for the oissOlu-
ton of the Assembly till the question had
been thoroughly agitated By means of pc
titioDs. The Steele started this idea, and
it is rapidly gaining ground. Petitions for
dissolution are coming in from a } parts Of
the country. The Assembly Committee,
charged with the consideration Of the cleo
toral law, have decided to recommend that
franchise be given all males over twenty |
i've years in the district in which they vote,
and that the duty of voting be made COM
pulsory.
