sITioN FOR DUEIING MATCH FROM M. DE
cAssAGNAC-A MOTION TO CENsURE THE GOVERN
MENT PROPOSED AND DEFEATED.
LONDON. Friday, June H. 1874.
special dispatch from Paris to The Times says
that the Left Center will probably introduce bill
to-day the first clause of which will provide for the
organization of the republic according to the bill OF
l83 and the second will fix the date of the dissolu-
ton Of the present Assembly. The Gazette de France
says that civil war will be the immediate conse-
quence Of the dissolution Of the Assembly,
1t generally thought that in the event OF disso
lution the Assembly, before dispensing. will author
ize President MacMahon to govern for some months,
probably year, without Assembly; and will
also authorize him to dissolve tho next Assembly.
The crowd at the depot on Thursday evening
numbered 10000 The police clearly manifested
sympathy with the Bonapartists.
PARIS. Friday. June u, 1874.
The scenes of yesterday were literally repeated ut
the Western Depot to-day, at the time Of the de-
partuIe of the Parliamentary train for Versailles
The populace again assembled in large numbers
and the deputies to the Assembly were respectively
insulted and cheered The police once more DIS
persed the rioters and took twelve OF the more v1o
lent Of them into custody. Four of the arrested
parties were released after they had been identified
and the rest were committed for trial So threaten
ing was the demonstration that body OF troops
was ordered to the Station and aided the police In
maintaining order. M. Armand Adam. o brother OF
the deputy of that name, and NJ. Spulen brother OF
the publisher of La Republque Frdncdise. radical
republican journal. were among those arrested.

lican, and lie Die Neurieme Steele Conservative Re
publican organ for fortnight, because Of violent
attacks upon Its policy.
Count Ste. CrOx upon his arrest last evening for
striking NJ. Gambetta. told the police that the OBJ
cct of his assault was to provoke duel. The Count
was formerly an officer of Zouaves of the Imperial
Guard. NJ. Gambctta's face yet bears the marx OF
the blow given him. Several persons in addition to
Count Ste Croix were arrested by the police at the
railway station at the time of the tumult
NJ. Paul dc Cassagnac, tho editor of lie Pays, re-
plies in that journal to-day to the demands OF NM.
Schoelcher and Testelins, who were delegated by
the Republicans to demand armed reparaton for his
article attacking the members of the Left. he says
therein that he assaed NJ Gambetta and other depu-
ties, but not NJ. Clemenceau, who is not therefore
entitled to reparaton; but says NJ. dc Cassagnac if
it. De Cassagnac says he particularly wishes to
fight NJ. Gambetta, and adds that nine members of
the editorial staff of lie Pays are willing to fight
nine of the Republican deputies, and will draw lots
for choice of ad fersaries and of arms.
LATER.-In the Assembly to-day the second read
ing of the Municipal Electoral bill was concluded.
NJ de Mallevile of the Left Center asked the Gov
ernment to inform the House what course 1t In
tended to pursue toward the Bonapartists who
ignored or defied the decisions of the Assembly.
M. Bethmont, of the Left, called attention to the
statement made yesterday by NJ. FOurtOn, Minister
of the Interior in relation to the recent disturbances
That statement implied that the police and the Rad
ical Deputies were equally to blame. The Minister
who made 1t ought not to be retained in office an
other moment the Government was culpablc in not
removing him.
Mr.. Picard of tho Left Center pointed to the long
immunity from Government interference which the
Bonapartist journal lie Pays had enjoyed, and de-
clared that NJ Fourton was unworthy of confidence.
NJ Fourton replied. He declined to retract anything
he had said The Assembly should await the result
of the inquiry which had been ordered into the re-
cent deplorable occurrences In conclusion he
assured the Chamber that the Ministry was deter
mined to make President MacMahOn's authority re-
spected.
NJ Bethmont then moved vote of censure
against the Minister, which was rejected by vote
of 377 Nays to 326 Yeas.
About the time of the return of the parliamentary
train to Paris this evening large number OF people
began to assemble around the station; but the
crowds were soon dispersed by the police and there
was no disturbance on the arrival of the deputies.
The Bonapartist propaganda is very active, espe-
cally in the barracks. 1t is considered certain that
NJ. de st. Croix, in striking NJ Gambetta yesterday,
acted in accordance with prearranged plan Of
party leaders to provoke duel.
Copies of LIE Pays were seized by the police this
evening 90 sOOR as they were issued.
The Left Center is reported to be still hopeful Of
union with portion of the Right Center and of the
formation of ministry under the Duke dAudif-
fret Pasquier.
