ganlZatlOn OF an absolutely personal power,
which would terminate with Marshal MacMa-
hon, even before the expiration of the seven
years, if the Executive Power should become
vacant before that time.
Great efforts are being made to reconstruct
the majority of the gath Of May on the basis of
q personal Septennate. 1t is expected that
the Committee of Thirty will delay sending in
its report in order that the Assembly may
first decide upon the proposition Of the Duo de
Laroohefoucauld BiSaccia in favour of a
Monarchical Restoration, in pursuance with the
approaching report of the Committee of hitia-
tive to which it has been referred. AS it is
certain that this proposition will be rejected it
is hoped by the parties of the Right that the
Legitimlsts will thereupon accept the proposed
personal Septennate.
The Sub Committee Of the Committee of
Thirty desire that the right of dissolution
should be granted to Marshal MacMahon alone.
merely in order that that right may exist even
in the event Of the establishment of a Second
Chamber not being voted by the Assembly.
No provision is made with regard to the trans
mission of the Executive Power, the object, it
is said, being that the Septennate should cease
with Marshal MacMahOp, and the restoration
of a Monarchy then become possible. With
regard to this point, the new Constitutional
Bill simply provides that the two Chambers,
convOked for a Congressional Session, shall
come to a decision in accordance with the
interests of the country.
NJ. Luoien Brun returned to-day toVersailles.
He denies having had a conference with
the Comte de Chambord, but a rumour is
nevertheless generally current that he has
received instructions from the Prince with re-
gard to the manner in which the Legitimist
deputies are to vote on Constitutional
questions.

A priest in a village near Toulouse has been
summoned to appear before the Correctional

buted amongst his Pensioners copies of a
likeness of the Prince Imperial.
GENEVA, July 1.
The Comte de Chambord is believed to be
at present staying near this city. NJ. Lucien
Brun, the Legitimist deputy, is at Gex, where
he arrived on the Gath ult. He did not, as
reported, go to Frohsdorf. NJ. Brun acts as
negotiator for the Legitimist party at Versailles

PARIS, Tuesday Night.
In the Assembly to day there was a stirring
incident. The Marquis de Franclieu, an Elk.
treme Legitimist, citing an article by NJ. Saint
Genest in the Figaro of yesterday, declaring,
as he interpreted it, that there was no other
law 10 France than Marshal MacMahon's will
characterised that article as an excitation to
revolt. To put an end to the arbitrary deci-
sions of martial law against the press. he NOV
ed urgency for a Bill, proposing to refer all
press Offences to a fantastic jury of Is, in the
election of which the Assembly, the Council of
State, the Court of Cessation, and the Syn6ics
of the Paris and the provincial journals should
take part.
There was much laughter and ironical ap-
plause on the Left, and the House refused to
vote that the measure was urgent. The
speech of NJ. de Franclieu was entirely in the
spirit of yesterdays article in the Unaon.
Upon the third reading of the Municipal Bill
being called on, NJ. JouiD, of the Extreme Left,
in a very eloquent speech, said that the motto of
the Bill seeking by ingenious devices in regard
to domicile, &c, to cut down universal suffrage,
should be "Down with the poor !" Great
applause on the Left NJ. de Chabrol, the re-
porter, asked for an adjournment until to-mor-
row, promising then to refute the arguments OF
false philanthropy.
