President McMahOn's Inaugural.
PARIS, May 2G.-The following is the
text of McMahon's address II have
been called through the confidence of the
National Assembly to the Presidency of
the Republic. No immediate change will
be made in existing laws, regulations and
institutions. / rely upon material order,
and l count upon your vigilance and upon
your patriotic assistance"
The scenes were extremely exciting in
the National Assembly chamber, pending
the discussion which resulted in the depo-
sition of THEIRS and the eXaltation of Mar,
shall Mcmahon.
In the Presidents box were Madame
Theirs, the Project of the Department of
Seine, and Others who were gesticulating
quite wildly, and once the Project was
called to order for the ardor of his enthu-
siasm. The diplomatic corps was well rep
resented. Lord Lyons, the BritishIMinis-
ter, was not present, being engaged in Civ
Queen Victorias birthday. Many cele-
brated women of Napoleon's Court as well
as of the Republic, occupied conspicuous
places and remained until the political
change was consummated. AS soon as the
vote was taken deposing Thiers, the repre-
sentatives of the different countries imme-
diately left the Assembly Chamber and
telegraphed the news to their respective
governments.
How Theirs Receieyed His Defeat.
Thiers sat Il close watcher of events, con-
stantly using the exclamation, " OH, 6icn
MeSsieurs !" Once he caused immense ex-
element, when he said, "They have
spoken of negotiations when it has occur
red to me they only wanted the govern
ment to be transferred to Paris, but the
army would not enter there. i have re-
PEELED them in order to prevent the she'd
ding of streams of blood at the expense of
the army. If there is a man who counts
the cost of this etfusion of blood it is my
self. l have fallen. / rather wish to say
2Ce have fallen. For long time had the
hope that this detestable faction" The
close of the sentence was lost in the ire
mendous uproar which his beginning had
excited. Again did Theirs awake the
enthusiasm of his friends, when charged
with being the prOtege of radicalism, he
retorted, There was something more re-
markable than that in their midst. They
had with them the Duke de BrOglie, who
was the protege of the Empire"
No fears of disturbance are apparent in
Paris. The people, on Sunday, attended
in great numbers the Chantilley races, Civ
ing themselves up to pleasure, and caring
little for politics.
The New Ministry Announced.
The following compose the new French
Ministry: Minister of Foreign Affairs,
Duke de Broglie; Minister of Justice, Err
nOul; Minister of the Interior, Beule

lister of War, General de Cissey; Minister

There is no disorder in any portion of the
country in consequence of the change in
Government. Dispatches from all sections
report tranquility. Only half of the troops
are now held in their barracks.
How THEIRS Resignation was Accepted.

Assembly when the question was taken
on accepting President Theirs resignation
and voted in the affirmative. THEIRS has
