PARIS. July 3l.-The motion for dissolution was
rejected in the Assembly on "Wednesday by vote Oh
S75 to S32 The long confused discussion about the
motion that preceded the vote was, IN its geherai
weakness a stronger argument than any othef
offered why the vote shoud have been the other
wav The declaration of this Incoherent Uody 'naI
il will not dissolve, while in patiently far advanced
stage of dissolution recalls that experience Vi
Heinrich Heine in the ian at GoslaE, where his ue-
ceased friend, DR.. Ascher appeared at mldhleht anu
sustained with much eloquence his ola Ile-tl'nc ai
ounent against the existence of ghosts. The dis
cnssion if il can be called discussion, was not ser
ous for the most part nor directly on the question

Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard

he red and the Legitimsts white, and the Cehters
will keen 10 their Left and Right spots, and any ac-
cdental majority will be mOttled and mutaple as
before What could not be created out OF thls chaos
of parties the last three years cannot be creVeu
from them three or more or less months hence IL Is
doubtful if any one honestly believes that the Dep
uties will grow wiser during the Vacatioh' thouSh
several Conservative speakers seemed 10 express
some such belief and pretended to resist dssouioh
and accept adjournment only on condition OF tue AS
sembly's promising" TO pass the cohstHu''ouai
laws directly on rcassembng after adJournmeht'
And these Conservatives Government Minister'S
and others talking of the Assemblys promises to
constitute can meet each other without laughins'
The honest President, lately so imperiouSIy lhpa-
tent of il, unfulflled promises for the organization
of his powers, is now a. placidly serious nheuu

thirty odd potical journals of Paris the perusal OF
the Decline and Fall by Mr. Gibbon would be
brlefer exercised you would not fail to know win
what modicum OF wisdom this part OF the worid
il governed: and would also be persuaded that

dAumale occasion is reserved at the auJourheu Ses
sion not of passing the so-called CONSTITUTIONS"
laws but of combining Royalists OF both com

the passage of one two laws restrictive oi the
natural growth and powers Of RepublicanlSn. me

the adjournment by the Duke de Broglle hiLiSeh'
the cleverest party manager among the Sion'iciS''
He was so near despair of royalty at one moment OF
the last ministerial crisis to say that he would no
