PARIS, Friday. July TO- 1874
The Republican papers conclude from Marshal
MacMahon's message to the Assembly yesterday
that he recognizes the Republic.
In the Assembly this afternoon, NJ. Bertauld, MOD
crate Republican asked leave 10 submit the follow
ing question to Gen. de CiSsey VicePresident oil the
Council:
whether ii s claimed for the President OF the RepuD-
lie tnat he denies the right of the Assembly to determine
whether the law Of the 10th of November 1873 Is IRE
vocabe not; and also II II Is denied that inc
is responsible to the Assembly
On motion of Gen. de CIssey debate on this inter
pellation was postponed until the constitutional
bills come up for discussion.
The Committee of Thirty on constitutional blus
held an important sitting to-day.
NJ. Fourtou Minister of the Interior, appeared ana
presented the views of the Government. he SAID
the Government would accept the bill drawn up by
the Committee which provides for the continuance
of the title OF President of the Republic; for the
creation of Second Chamber, and for the organlza-
ton of the Personal Septennat, to terminate WIN
the expiration of MacMahons seven years term OF
sooner in case of his resignation or death. buI II
was desirable that certain provisions whlch Ie-
quired immediate action should be embodied IN d
separato measure for speeder passage by the AsSe-
blv and NJ. Fourtou specified them as follows:
FIRST. Deputies should be elected for separate arron'
easements instead of departments; for 1t was neces-
gary TO keep in mind the possibility Of dissolution OF
the Assembly.
Second . In the creation OF a Second Chamber the
Government especially wished that the President
should be empowered TO nominate conslderaOe pro-
portion Of its members.
Third and finally: The Government insists that the
power be given TO President TO dissolve the Lower
Chamber but as the manner Of the appointment or
members Of the Upper House is not decided upon II
cannot say whether the power should be exercised WIN
or without the cooperation of the latter.
NJ. FourtOu in conclusion remarked that the
Government was not desrous of interfering with the
duty of the Assembly IN framing constitution but
merely pointed out what 1t considered the essential
features. Full expression would be gwen TO its
opinions in debate when the subject came before the
Assembly.
The Legitimists are irrltated by the Presidents 3
message and have resolved to oppose the personal
