| Defeat of the Government and Resignatio,1
| OF the Ministry.
The government was defeated by GO
votes on priority of measure to be v0teG
upon, whereupon the ministry resigned.
As it was known that the vote was to bts
| taken on the motion to give the priority OF
discussion to the electoral law over thes
municipal bill. which motion had been
made a Cabinet question. when the hour
| for the meeting of the Assembly arrived
the chamber presented an animated appear
| ance. After the transaction of the usual
! routine business, Batbie rose to open the
debate. He offered q motion requiring the
| debate on the election law to begin next
| Wednesday.
The motion was supported by Duke De
| BrOglie in an exhaustive speech; he dee
| clared that the government did not wish toe
| evade its engagement in relation to the
municipal bill, but it believed that the
country desired that the electoral law
accept an offer of NJ. Lucien Brun, OF
the extreme right, that that party
should oppose the motion giving priority
to discussion of the electoral law, without
| implying lack of confidence in the minis
| try. Debate continued until a late hour
| and the excitement in the Chamber was
| frequently so great that it became necessary
to suspend proceedings. Upon conclusion
| of the discussion the question was put to
| the Assembly, and the PRESIDENT announced
| that the government had heeA defea vote
standing 3l7 to 3Sl, showing maj jority of GA
against discussing electoral law before num-
icipal bill; there was much tumult in the
Chamber. After the declaration of the
vote, when it had subsided, the Duke de
Cazas rose and offered motion for apprOv
| al of postal convention between France
| and the United States, which he announced
as his last act as Minister tor Foreign AT
fairs The Assembly thereupon adjourned,
| and the ministers soon afterward handed
their designations to President MacMahon.
