PARIS, Dec. 6.-The Governmental situation
throughout the country.
The Committee Of Thirty, formed yesterday,
by the Assembly, ia regarded as hostile to the
Republic.
Republican journals in Paris declare that the
Assembly does not represent the will OF France,
and demand its immediate dissolution.
Theirs is expected to resign.
The Government will probably make state
ment at the session Of the Assembly to-day, as
to the course it intends to take.
The Committee Of Thirty appointed by the
Assembly yesterday, in accordance with the mo-
ton OF Minister Dufaure, held it's first meeting
to-day. The following officers we're elected !:
President, Baron Delaney; Vice President, NJ.
Audiffret Pasquier; Secretaries, NJ. II. Lefeyre,
having been completed, the Committee adjourn
ed to meet on Monday, when they will proceed
to business according to the motion by which it
was created. The Committee is instructed to draw
up project Of law defining the responsibility
Of Ministers and rsgnstng the relations of the
will report bill declaring that any Minister
who shall be censured must resign, and exclud-
ing the President from debate in the Assembly,
but giving him, by way Of compensation, a lin
1Leu F6LO power. IL LIZ 1Q1eI1eu TON [n6 pOut1-
cal composition Of the Committee that any
proposition for dissolution of the Assembly
will be rejected, and nothing more radical than
partial renewal Of the Chamber once year,
or once every two years, will be entertained.
The Bien Public says the complexion Of the
Committee makes the situation all the more pre-
ca1ioua. While the Executive and Assembly are
equally ayerse to 8 coup, the country cannot
tolerate the present state of affairs. 1t init
mates that the country should spontaneously
intervene, which is interpreted to mean that it
should continue to send in petitions in support
OF Theirs and his Government.
Theirs has resolved TINT there shall be no
change in the Ministry until the report Of the
Committee Of Thirty is presented; then, if the
report ia unfayorable to him, ho will oppose it
in the Assembly.
An official reception was given at the E1ecu-
tive residence last night, which WAS numerously
attended. President Thiers freely conversed
with his friends on the political crisis. He re-
grotted that partial renewal OF the Assembly
seemed impossible, and declared that he WAS
determined to adhere to the policy announced in
his message.
Alta meeting of the extreme Left to-day, it
was decided not to move for a dissolution OF
the Assembly until the question has been thor
oughly agitated by means Of petitions. The
Steele started this. idea. and it is rapid
y gaining ground. Petitions for dissolution
are coming in from all parts Of the country.
The Assembly Committee charged with the
consideration Of the Electoral law have decided
to recommend that franchise be given all males
over rs years Of age who have lived one year in
the district in which they vote, and that the
duty of voting be made compulsory.
