Vpeeches were made and resolutions adopted

IL is considered probable that the govern
Snent will adopt one of three courses: first, |
che resignation of the Cabinet and the for |
9aation of another from the right centre |
and left centre, thus detaching the votes |
from the right and arranging a new ma |
eority favorable to the government; second, |
q formal declaration of the impOssibility of |
continuing the government under the eX- |
1sGsng circumstances and an appeal for the |
dissolution OF the Assembly; third, the |
complete retirement of the government and |
che acceptance OF a Cabinet exclusively |
Brom the right.
This latter course is qnost unlikely. que is |
sgore probable than the designation of !
President Theirs.
EveniRg-It is reported this evening that |
sE Theirs and the committee of thirty will !
act in unison in celebrating the constitu-
Si0naI proposals to be submitted to the AS
sembly. The appointments OF Goulard to |
sye Minister Of the Interior; Leon Say, Min |
Sster of Finance, and NJ Tourton, Minister
gf Public Works is certain 1t is also an
