bly, waited ON President Thiers this even
ing, and informed him of the vote by which

signation.

remain in the service of the Chamber aud
the county,"

will remain in Office.
PARIS, Jan. 21.
NJ. Thiers yesterday, in reply to the
deputation of :he Assembly which called
upon him to notify him of the refusal of
that body to accept his resignation, said
he was worn out and discouraged. He
could not change his opinions and he be-
lieved that conflicts similar to the present
one were likely to occur between the legis-
laturc and executive departments of the
government whenever military or educa-
tiOnal bills were before the Assembly.
| Theirs further said, that while for the pre-
sent he consented to withdraw his resigna-
zion, the end was inevitable, and sooner or
!
the presidency.
Marshal MacNiahon also called upon
Theirs yesterday, and appealed to him on
behalf Of the army to withdraw his resig-
nation. The Marshal said the army
would obey the orders of the Assembly,
but would not be controlled by dictator
ship, which was likely to follow the uncon-
stitutional retirement of President Theirs.
The members of the Ministry, at the earn
est solicitation of Theirs, have resumed
+, their portfolios.
Telegrams have been received from
several foreign governments cOngratulating
Thiers upon his continuance as chief ofthe
executive power. The French journals
have for some time past expressed disap-
proval Of the constant participation of the
President in the discussion of that legisla'
tive body. This complaint has been earn
estly discussed in the Ministry, which has
now decided to make a proposition to the
Assembly, that Thiers shall address it only
upon important occasions, for which pur
pose the pending debate shall at any time
be adjourned.
