.... The following is a resume Of the proceed
ings in the French Assembly eliminating in
the resignation of President Theirs: Theirs
addressed the Assembly, urging the definite
establishment Of tho Republic. After an en-
ergetic speech by Casimir Periere, Minister of
the Interior, the Assembly rejected, by q vote
of 1862 against 3is, the simple order Of the day
proceeding from the Left and supported blythe
Government. An order Of the day proposed
by the Right, declaring that the present form
of government was not under discussion, and
regretting that the reconstruction Of the
ministry did not afford conservative guarantees,
was then adopted by a vote Of 800 against 344.
The resul. Of the vote caused intense ex-
element, and the streets were crowded with
people. The Assembly took a recess until 8 in
the evening. Upon r~eassembling, a message
was presented from President Theirs, an
nouncing that he delivers back to the Assembly
the high functions which had been conferred
upon him. The reading Of the message pro-
duced a profound sensation in the chamber.
A motion to proceed to the election of a sue
cessor caused a terrific uproar. A motion that
the resignation be not accepted was rejected
1868 to 339. The resignation Of Theirs was
then formally accepted. A vote was then
taken, which resulted in the election Of Marshal
MacMahon, who received 800 votes. The Dep
uties Of the left abstained from voting. A
committee then waited upon the new ruler,
and notified him OF his election. He sent Q
communication to the Assembly accepting the
Office in the following terms: II will obey the
will of the Assembly, the depository Of the
national sovereignty. 1t is q heavy RESPONSE
bility, but with Gods aid and the devotion Of
the army / will continue the work Of iber-
ating the territory and restoring order, and
will maintain tranquility and the principles
on which society rests. To this I pledge my
word az an honest man and a soldier. ;. It is
