| The scenes were extremely exciting in
the Assembly chamber preceding the dis
cussion which resulted in the deposition of
Theirs and the exaltation of Marshal Mac
Mahon. In the presidents box were Mad
anne Theirs, the project of the department
of the Seine an others, who were gesticula-
ting quite wildly, and once the project was
called to order for the ardor of his enthusi-
asm. The diplomatic corps was well rep
resented. Lord Lyons, the British minis
ter was not present, being engaged in giving
a dinner in honor Of Queen Victoria's
birthday. Many celebrated women of Ma
poleon's court as well as of the Republic
occupied conspicuous places and remained
until the political change was consumma-
ted.
AS soon as the vote was taken deposing
Theirs, the representatives of the differ
ent countries Immediately left the cham
Der and telegraphed the news to their re-
spective governments.
Theirs sat close observer of events
and was constantly using the exclamation
"Oh, Bien Messieurs.'s Once he said,
"They have spoken of negotiations when
it has occurred to me they only wanted
the government to be transferred to Paris,
