VERSAILLES, May 1.-THE hall of the Ma
tional Assembly was again crowded Saturday,
as it was known that the vote was to be taken
on the motion to give priority of discussion to
the ELECTORAL law over the municipal bill, which
motion had been made cabinet question.
The motion was supported by the Duke de
Broglie in an exhaustive speech. He refused to
accept an offer Of NJ. Lucen Brun, of the ex-
treme right, that that party should oppose the
motion giving priority to the discussion OF the
electoral law, without implying lack of conf
dence Id the ministry.
The debate was continued until late hour,
and the excitement 10 the chamber was fire.
auently so great that it became necessary to
suspend the proceedings. ..
j. Upon the conclusion OF the discussion, the
question was put to the Assembly, and the
President announced that the government had
been defeated, the vote standing BIT to 3Sl,
showing majority of 81 against discussing the
electoral law before the municipal bill. The
vote against the government comprised 33l
members of the left, 20 Bonapartists, and 80
legitimists. Elk President Theirs, who occupied
his seat in the Assembly throughout the pro-
ceedings, voted with the opposition.
There was much tumult in the chamber after
the declaration of the vote. After it had sub
sided the Duke Descazes rose and offered mo-
ton for the approval Of the postal convention
between France and the United States, which
he announced as his last act as minister of for
eign affairs
The Assembly thereupon adjourned, aud the
ministers soon afterward handed their resigna-
tions to President MacMahon.
The defeat of the government and the resg-
nation of the ministers 10 consequence thereof,
causes intense excitement in Paris. The bou-
levards are crowded.
