PARIS, June 8, 1874.
In the Assembly to-day debate oni the Electoral bill
was continued
NJ. Ledru Rollin made the principal speech Of the
sitting. He denied that " the Assembly had the
right to alter the franchise. The present system of
general elections should not be touched, nor should
any other be substituted therefor; the pIebiscitum,
which some invoked, was a parody Of universal
suffrage"
AT this point there were loud protests from the
Bonapartist benches and cheers from the Left. The
noise and confusion were so great that the speaker
could n It be i heard for some minutes.
When the excitement had subsidized NJ. Ledru
Rolln resumed. Abiding to the failure of the majo-
rty to restore a monarchy or even form a govern.
ment, he declared that the Assembly, being powerless
to constitute a monarchy, should maintain the Re-
nnblic, which had never been seriously tried, and he
c%ahci!ded by urging "a speedy dissolution of the
Chamber"

DON CARLOS PROCLAIM ALTON.
VOLUNTEERS I have always hitherto ad-
dressed you after victory; today [ address
you with equal pride after a retreat.
When yesterday I saw some of your battal-
lions de6le before me | read upon the face of each
volunteer an enthusiasm greater than that
at MoOtejura and Somorrostro, and, filled with
emotion, [ saw you pass with greater admira-
ton in this retreat than in your preceding
heroic actions. The strong positions which we
lost were taken to the t~raitorous cry of" ViUa
l Rey % and the republican officers, shaking
their white handkercbiefs, succeeded in sur
prising our left, when they then sent up the
infamous yell of " V5Ua Ia Repu61ica ~ which
was the signal for a bloody confict-a conflict
such as Spaniards alone can precipitate.
Volunteers-For an instant feared trem-
bled at your valor, your solidity. 1t was not
in vain that I have accompanied you to Ibero,
Estella, Allo, Discastillo, Viana Montejura,
and in the battles of the "a and 25th of Febru-
airy, and of the 25th. 26th and 9th of March,
and l knew that if you had easily driven be-
fore your bayonets an army three times your
superior, it would be an arduous enter prise
to make you abandon your positions at that
moment. But you have shown yourselves
well disciplined. You had learned that as a
father, I would not sacrifice you recklessly,
