ACCORDING to Paris dispatches of the Doth the
Committee of Thirty had rejected NJ Perier's
Constitutional bill by vote of Is to 6, and
had appointed subcommittee to draw up
Constitutional bill of its own. On the LIST the
Subcommittee of Thirty had prepared and
submitted its bill. This provides for the con-
tinuance of the title Of president of the
Republic;" for a second Chamber; for a per-
sonal septennat to terminate with the eXpira-
tion of MacMahon's seven-year term or sooner
In case of his death or resignation. No pro-
vision is made for successor to the President,
thus leaving an opportunity for the restora-
tion of the empire or the monarchy when the
septennat ends. The Count de Chambord
took the opportunity to urge the claims of
royalty. On the Sd inst he issued a mani
festO to the people, demanding truce to the
divisions which distracted the nation. The
Count concluded his address with these words:
" ! am now, as before, ready. Il Is 1t
not time to restore prosperity and
grandeur to France with the venera-
BILE royalty?" French and English papers
consider that this manifesto had rendered it
impossible for him ever to become King OF
France. The Government had ordered the
suspension of l. Union, the paper that first
published it. A later dispatch, dated on
the 5th, says the political situation had again
become serious An attempt to unseat the
Ministry on an Interpolation in regard to the
suspension of Il Union had been decided
upon by the Legitimists. MacMahon has said
he would not accept their designations, even
should the Government be defeated.

ernment was organizing fifty battalons for
immediate and active service Paris dispatches
of the same day say that the death of Concha
would dispose of the claims of Prince Alphon-
TO- The Carlist account of the disaster re-
ports the Republican loss at 1000. A story
was current, on the 1st, that Marshal Concha
was killed at the instigation of Marshal Ser
rano because he was an Alphonsist. Accord

troops were greatly excited over the reports OF

A dispatch of the I'd says the Carlists had
energetically denied the charge of massa-
cring and mutilatng Republican prisoners

4th state that the national troops had been
compelled to abandon the forts outside Bilboa
on account of the withdrawal of the forces to
reinforce the army of the North. The Car
lists were said to have Immediately reoccu-
pied these forts. The Spanish Government,
according to a Madrid dispatch, had called
for an additional levy of $4,000 men to rein
forcesthe army of the North. Madrid dis
patches of the 9th report that 1000 Carlists
attacked Teruel on the 4th, who were driven
back with considerable loss. Many points

by the Carlists. Santander being menaced
