PARIS. Wednesday, July 8, 1874.
The sitting of the Assembly opened to-day amid
intense excitement. The floor was completely filled
with Deputies and the galleries were crowded with
distinguished spectators. NJ Lucien Brun moved
that the Assembly regrets the suspension of the
journal L Union by the Government" This motion
was rejected by vote of 80 Yeas to $40 Nays The
Left generally abstained from voting Thereupon,
M Paris, a member of the Right Center, moved the
following:
That the Assembly, resolving energetcary to uphold
the septenuial powers conferred upon Marshal Mac
Mahon, President of the Republic. and furthermore re-
serving tho questions submitted 20 the committee on
Constitutional Bills, passes TO the order Of the day.
Gen. De CiSsey, Minister-of-War and Vice-Presi-
dent of the Council, announced that the Govern
mcnt identified itself with the motion.
The question taken, and the motion of M.
Paris was rejected by vote of 331 Yeas to SOS Nays
The majority in this vote composed of the three
fractions Of the Lett, and 50 members of the Ex-
Geme Right.
Several deputies Immediately moved the order of
the day pure and simple which was adopted, the
vote standing 339 Yeas to 3l5 Nays
1t is considered that the last vote leaves the door
open for the Ministry to remain in power; but the
impression at the close of the sitting was that
nothing had been settled, and the uncertainty which
has all along characterized the political situation
Is unTehcyed.
Immediately after the adjournment Of the Assem-
bly, Cabinet Council was held, at which the Min
listers rendered their designations President Mac
MabOn peremptoIily refused to accept them, and
the Ministry remains constituted as before.
The President will send a message to the Assem-
bly, tomorrow next day, in which he will an
nouce his determination to retain the powers con-
ferred upon him for the time assigned by law. and
viii insist the necessity for the complete orga-
izatIon of his powers by the Assembly Cabinet
Council will be held tomorrow to decide upon the
terms of the message.
