The Committee decided to draw up a Con-
stitutional bill of its own, and for that purpose
appointed three commissioners, viz M. Ven
tavon and the Compile Daru, monarchists, and
M. Charles de Lacombe, a liberal conservative.
This selection shows that The personal Sep
tennate has triumphed, and neither the Septen-
nal Republic nor the DefnitiVe Republic has
anything to hope from the Committee of
Thirty.
La Patrie says President MacMahon re.
Gently declared that he would not cede his
authority to any one for a single day, and he
refused to hear of either a Stadtholderate or the
Lieutenancy General of the kingdom. This
is substantially confirmed by a declaration to
the same effect in an order of the day con-
graduating the troops on the success of the
review at Longchamps yesterday.
The legitimists are very indignant at these
expressions of the President.

The subcommittee of the Committee Of Thir-
ty has drawn up new constitutional bill. The
measures provide for the continuance of the
title Of" President of the Republic" for the
creation of a second Chamber, for the organiza-
tion of a purely personal Septennate, which is to
terminate with the expiration of President Mac
Mahon'S seven years term, or sooner in case of
his death or resignation.
No provision is made for a successor to the
President, and it is thought that the object of
the omission is to leave an opportunity for the
restoration of the monarchy, which may be
possible when the Septennate ceases.
