PARIS, Feb. f2.-There is no help for it.
The Committee Of Thirty irrepressbIe, and must have
its paragraph speaking In my last OF the altera'
tons proposed by ". Theirs IN much of their DRAFT
OF bs bore upon his relations the Assembly. In
his last interview he proposed large amendment 20 the
last article Of their h rather substitute for that
fourth article providing that the Committee should pre-
pare special laws without delay Second Chamber;
on elections; the organizing OF the Executive
for the interregnum between tho dissolution OF
tho present and the meeting OF the future A.
sembly. Comprehensive was this new article
and considerable as were the alterations previously
posed there 4 prevalent impression until saturday
that the Committee felt It's time for concession
come and would the main accept them. It was said
by persons President and the Committee,
most interested and most likely TO know that enough Of
the moderate Rights ready TO Join with the minority
LET'S in voting them. When az theirmeetng on safur
day the Committee admitted but paEt OF the first pro
posas Of the President and rejected his amendment
the surprise great the agitation considerable. and
the expectation OF grand field day In the Hoase

wide disagreement which President and Conmittee
seemed finally 10 remain at this seemed logical con
cluson. But under the strange conditions in which

For the last two days appearances are that there VIII

the Committee present their report, and thai their re-
port viii probably contain such qualifying commentary
on their bill as to make unacceptable TO the Presi-
dent
Meantime. the President deprecates a rupture for
many II must be always kept IN mind that NJ

that one point. he Is in much accord with the
moderate monarchists OF the ght than with the Old
Republicans let alone tue Extreme Lef6 HIS iayonte
idea OF Second Chamber, what he styles a C0nserya-
tive Chamber, is not in itself offensive 70 tho
nonarchists, while all sat moderate republicans arc
hostile principle. Both parties are opposed 10 &c
for the present other reasons the first because tho
insttuung OF it would be step toward constituting
the Republic; the others because instituted by tho
Assembly would. they think, be too con-erya-
tive arstocratc its character. besides being
stituent the part Of Assembly which they claim
is nOC by right constituent
There is another complication. II Theirs appeals from
the Committee the House there is little doubt that,
test vote, he could obtain there majority against
them. But TO make up that majority he would need as
heretofore the voices OF the Gam0ettss. Bat they are
friends he prays TO be saved FROM What he wants.
what between wednesday and Saturday he seemed
likely to get far it represented in the Com
mittee. was coalition Of The two Centers with enough
recruits from OreaDists and moderate Republicans 10
both extremes. That eminent Orleanist mem
bers Of the Committee ready to accept
for their 4th article the substitute mentioned
above, which he shrewdly allowed 70 bo
offered by Minister Duaure, asserted by his AMI
their friends. That they had intimated such purpose
seems certain; that they had promised disunotiY
frankly, 20 carry it oat By their votes, does
not seem certain The contrary. DisiiDctaes'
and frankness TWO qualities that have shoDe ~
their throughout all this weary business Of tho
Committee OF Thirty 1t appears that by Saturday the
Legitimist members OF the Committee brought such
arguments to bear upon the sraying Oreansts a. 10
bring them back that day. Que argument was drawn
from that preamble in the Thiers-DufaGre substitute
amendment concerning measures 70 be passed in

To say truth it had the effect on other ears.

They insist on reserying in fun their constituent

experiment have been pushed with renewed activity
elder Orleans princes went and prayed az the tomb
OF Louis XVI. last month. The Count OF PARIS sent
vicarious gentleman TO pray. The Duke GAumaie
signed himself then as PAumale. not as Henri dor
