TElEGaAMS TO THE NEW YORK HERALD.

LONDON Dec ~, 1872.
The Echo newspaper publishes special despatch
from Paris, which states that MN. Gambetta and
Louis Blanc will be the first speakers in the debate
which is to take place on Saturday next in the Ma
tional Assembly on the subject OF popular petitions
praying for the dissolution OF the legislative body
and an electoral appeal to the nation.
Paris kilograms from different sources alege on
the other hand that the immediate subject of the
debate will not be the petitions now coming in
but those which were presented at the last session
of the Assembly
N. LOUIS BLANC's LOGIC OF A CONSTITUTIONAL RE-
PUBLIC.
M. Louis Blanc has propounded to the pub
lie the points of the parliamentary logic which he
intends to use in his own behalf and for M. Gam
betta's aid during the approaching debate. Hav
ing just been prevented by law OF the EMPIRE
enforced by M. Theirs under Republic, from de-
1verIng q lecture at La Rochelle, he has availed
himself OF the liberty of the press to print in q
newspaper what he intended to have said and
what he will attempt to say in the Assembly. NJ
Blanc begins by inauring what is meant by
the scarecrow phrase the "extreme partys"
and his answer iS that 1t means that
party which years ago was q partisan OF the Re-
public, universal sunrage universal military SER
vice and universal primary instruction. The Utopia
OF yesterday he says has become the reality OF to-
day; and yet the very men who opposed all these
things claim to have a monopoly Of foresight and
practical craftsmanship, and stigmatise as fools
the party which traced out the path which they
the wise men, are now following So much for the
extreme party. AS to the alternative term, the
''radical party" M. Louis Blanc gives longer ex-
plantations He avows himself Of that party, so far
as the etymOlogy OF the word goes ana admits that
the party seeks within the limits OF practicabillty
to go to the ''ro0t" of grievances. His enumera-
tion OF the objects contemplated by the radical
party is as follows:-
The moral, intellectual and physical improve
ment OF all; frequent elections in order that the
Deputies OF the people may not become their mas
ters that in order to spare the nation the necessity
Of making or the danger OF submitting TO a coup
d'etdt, the National Assembly should not be placed
face to face with rival for power; that primary
instruction should be obligatory, gratuitous and
bear arms for the defence of his country so long as
war shall be necessary In the world; that the
Of law should be open to all free Of cost, because
otherwise the doctrine OF equality in the eye OF the
law is a deluson; that political Capitalization,
but that administrative centralization, which
is despotism and darkness, should give
endeavors should be made, by means OF one
simple tax to make every one contribute TO
every attempt, whether individual or collective,
encouraged Instead Of repressed, in the hope
from the condition Of paid servant to that OF
partner, SO that property, which, as M Theirs has has
Justly Said Is an inherent desire OF human nature,
may become accessible to all; that privileges
which add conventional to natural inequality may

equal faculties. ana, finally, invioable liberty OF
the press, liberty of conscience and suffrage.
liberty Of association and public meeting, and all
those liberties which may enable minority to be-
come the majority whenever it is able to show that
1t Is in the right.
After this summary of what the radical party
aspires to, NJ. Louis Blanc repudiates a calumny
the Assertion that 1t seeks to attain its ends by
Violence, all at once or without bending to circum
stances.
NJ. THEIRS NEUTRALITY AND IMPERsoNALrTy.
The President OF the Republic, in order to show
the neutral position which he personally occupies
with respect to the subject OF the permanency or
dissolution OF the legislative body, will not at
tend the session OF the Parliament during the dis
cussion, which is fixed for the 14th instant
MINISTERIAL FEELING TOWARDS THE ACTION OF THE
MINORITY.
The Ministers, 1t is said, disapprove OF the pro-
posed debate as inopportune and OF an unneces-
sarly agitatng tendency.
M. Raoul Duval. Lacombe and d'Andifret-Pas-
quier will take part in the debate.
M. Goulard, Minister Of the Interior, has in
structed the projects to prohibit the signing OF
petitions for dissolution in the wine shops.
"REMINISCENCES OF THE WAR IN TEBRoREM FOR
POLITICAL RESTRAINT.
The Left in the Assembly is mucn censured for
raising inopportunely the question OF dissolution
and thus giving the Germans pretext for reject
ing the guarantees for the payment OF the war in
demnlty and an excuse for refusing to evacuate
the country
