PARIS, May 25.-You read in the Journal OGciel of
to-day: "The National Assembly. in its session of
oath May received the resignation of NJ. Theirs and
elected President of the French Republic Marshal
MacMahon, who has accepted" One Chief
of State has gone out, another been brought into
power without immediate change in the form of Gov
eminent or ofense to statute law, to any French
mans personal rights. This is the most remarkable,
TO all political parties in the country the most cred
table, and for its people the most promising, feature
of this quite peculiar crisis
Here in Paris, Broglie who opened the long pre-
pared attack on Theirs by his flank moving speech;
Dufaure who presented the Government position in
front and Thiers who gave notice that he would
lead the fight next day. had brought us all by Friday
night to anxious expectation of what by that time
all men had come to see would be the pitched battle
of the morrow. The coalition of monarchsts had
eyinced unanticipated qualities of discipline, vigor
prudence, and tactical skill along with confidence
of success which implied some controlling
power of councils behind their three thrones, all the
more formidable as their openly leading speakers
and managers insisted upon standing together on
the newly constructed temporary conservative plat
form. from which all their mOnarchical planks were
removed and in which none Of the three thrones
was visible. Still, so late as Saturday morning
should say that the ruling opinion of cool judg-
ments was that Theirs, dealing out the "Cabi-
net question" for his last blow, would come out
of a hard conflict with a victorious majority

knew the vote on Ernouls order of the day-S6O
Yeas to 34 Nays; and, knowing Theirs, knew that

guarded the country safely through the most com

Between Saturday afternoon dinner time and the
midnight between that and Sunday was on the
boulevards. There was a general excitement Wis
BILE prevalent emotion apparent enough TO some
of us by subtler manifestations than what grossly
strikes the eye. Trying to work my way from the
Grand Cafe TO the Boulevard Possonniere on the
broad Tiglthand sidewalk of that most attractive
of all streets, 1 was forced here and there to
take to the carriage-way, disputing my right
of way there with tenderly going horses and car
riages Here and there for instance, at the con-
functions Of Chauss6e d'Antin and Rue Lafitte with
the Central Bouleyards, the sidewalk throng, i'm

human crowd; all that O blind man could
have heard would have been a low se-amumur

the Italiens-the Iaciamental bowling place of the
illegal, distinctly iegalized irrepressble Petite

holds its defiant courses there, was animate and
noisy from O'Clock to midnight, yesterday, in a
rarely paralleled degree. GA .T
An extra and somewhat unusually numerous
patrol of military rode past toward midnight. At
the western railway station, through which Yer

was an excessive congregation of curious persons.

became convenient for the police to clear the

crush of silly people, Some time in the latter part of
the night a small gang of mainly idle boys started

In fine. Paris--its Republican people-look at, &C

eminently suspicious parliamentary coup dddt
effected by the monarchists at Versailles from the

men saw what was presently TO come at Versailles
yesterday the leaders and pontfs of the thoroughly
Republican party swiftly composed and gave their
authoritative signatures to advice universally pub

unjust impossible processes Of the temporary coali

for theleadine Pontifs Of Republication solemny to
