Pro obn bilities Of the Assemb "

PARIS, November 30-Political parties
have been busy preparing for the opening g
of the Assembly. Numerous caucusses
have been held, and negotiation are going
on between the various sections OF the AS.
sembly. What combinations have been
made it is impossible as yet to determine.
The many rumors in circula tiOn render a
solution indefinite. Factions Of the right
appear to be still unable to combine.
Seventy deputies of the extreme right
have resolved to vote against the constitu-
tional bills.
Chamb0rd's Letter.
Count de Chambord has written letter
to his supporters in The Assembly, in which
he says: "Contiding to the zeal of my friends
to do everything to further the interests of
the country and the cause of royalty, will
do nothing to delay the restoration of the
monarchy"
This letter has been communicated to
members Of the moderate right who intend
ed to vote for constitutional bills, and may
shake their purpose. The passage of a con-
stitutional measure, now depends on the
attitude of the right centre. The left is
forward which might cause the differing
sections Of the right to draw together again.

mnrck's Speech.
BERLIN, November Sin tho Refchstag
to day the Aisace-L Lorraine loan bill was
taken up, and gave rise to . most interest
ing debate. The deputies from Alsace and
Larraine took occasion in the severe dis
cussion to declare that they were opposed
to high endowment Of the University Of
and to other educational grants
the interest Of the empire and not Of the
provinces themselves.
Prince Bismarck replied a. follows:
The question before us concerns the i'm.
perial interest. it Ia not = question Of
AIsace and Lorraine. The University is tor
imperial purposes. In the we'll fought war,
On which depended our existence, We con.
lueged those provinces FOR the empire. II
was not for Alsac0 Or Lorraine our soldiers
she'd their blood. We take our stand upon
The imperial interest fOS that and not for
.he sake Of their wn ecclesiastical interests !
We annexed those provinces. We have, |
)ther grounds for action than those people !
v hose past leads them to Paris. and whose !
present leads t" Rome. My own views res. !

with the attitude of the depu !
les from those provinces. Such Q Pariia- !
Isnt would lead to continual agitation.
md perhaps might endanger the peace Of
he empire. We shall doubtless be obliged
o take more serious steps IN regard 90
ch0oi matters there. We can not permit
