dispatch from Berlin, giving the probable
action of the Congress which will assemble
at Brussels next month, to consider the sub
ject of International rights in time of var.
The 1imes's correspondent says the Con-
gress will codify the recognized usages ct
international law, so far as they affect the
actual conduct of war. new code is to
be enacted in the form of an International
treaty, which promises to become one law
common to all recognized governments Of
the world.
The draft of treaty which is TO be sub
mitted to Congress has been prepared. It
contains seventy-six clauses, which state
in detail the rights and obligations of bel.
ligerents, from the mutual claims of belli-
gerent States down to private individuals.

PARIS, June 1O.-In the Assembly, Nj.
Gerard, deputy from Mouse, and member of
the Left, read document which he stated
had been circulated during the election in
that Department
The paper urges BOnaparte officials to con-
fer all appointments in their gift upon re-
tired officers who are in favor of the election
of Burgoing, the BOnapartist candidate, and
adds that the Minister of Finance, M.
Magne, has furnished lists of such officers to
the Government. Nj. Gerard demands hon
est inquiry into affairs.
Nj. ROuher disclaimed any knowledge of
the document, and insinuated it was ficti-
tious. He declared himself in favor of an
inquiry, and would discuss the subject
when the result of the investigation was
presented to the Assembly.
Gambetta accused Ministers Magne and
Cisere of completely in this discredtable
business.
The Bonapartist members of the ASSEM-
bly, Endorsed Rouher's offer to discuss mat
tiers when investigated. Rouher then re-
minded the Chamber of charges in relation
to improper and fraudulent contracts and
appointments reported by the committee on
acts of the September Government against
NJ. Gambetta. A violent scene followed.
Gambetta replied that he had always ans
wered the questions of the committee, but
did not admit the right Of the wretches, with
which term he branded the BOnapartists, to
question him.
The tumult and shouting which this reply
produced rendered M. ROuhers rejoinder
inaudible
NJ Buffet threatened vote of censure on
Gambetta for the words he had spoken.
After the sitting, Gambetta and his friends
were followed as they were leaving the
Chamber, and insulted by the Bonapartists.
The occurrence is considered as of serious
character, and causes great excitement in
Paris.
The Left claim members pledged to vote
for the dissolution of the Assembly, and
they only require 30 more votes to carry the
motion which they intend to introduce at
the earliest day.

feated on the vital provisions Of the bill.
