introduced in the Assembly to-day,
and vote of urgency was carried by
345 against BAL.
PARIS, June 15.-The Assembly is
crowded with Deputies and spectators.
Caslmier Perier introduced the consti.
tutional bill prepared by the Left
Centre, and moved that it's considera.
ton be declared urgent. He said the
country demanded o Termination of
the provisional state. He urged union
against Bonapartism and demagogues.
The speaker was frequently interrupted
by the Right aud warmly applauded
by the Left. La Boulage- supported
the motion for urgency. He said re-
cent events had shown the dnngers of
the provisional condition. A monarchy
was impossible; the empire would only
lead to the invasion aud oppression of
France. The republic was the govern.
ment of all, for all, and it's establish
ment would inspire the country with
confidence. General Rechaurnier. OF
the Right Centre, and NJ. Raoul Du-
val, Of the Right, opposed the motion.
NJ. De Kerdael, OF the Right, warned
the members that if a majority of the
Assembly was changed, Marshal Mac
Mahon might consider it his duty to
resign the Presidency. A vote was
then tnken on the motion for urgency,
and it was agreed to by yeas 345; nays
BAL. AL the Ministers voted against
it, but in their capacity as members Of
the Assembly only. The motion had
not been mado Cabinet question.
Urgency huving been declared, the
raG, t.,
Thirty. NJ. De La Rochefoucauld and
Due De Bisaccia, of tue extreme Right,
then introduced y resolution, which
was read amid profound silence, that
the Assembly declares that the Go
vernment of France is monarchy;
tia: :hs :h-oae belongs to the head Of
the house Of France; that Marshal
MaoMahon may assume the title of
Lieutenant of the Kingdom, and that
the national institutions shall be deter.
mined by agreement between the King
and the national representatives.,
Great excitement followed the reading
OF the resolution. Rochefoucauld
moved that it be- referred to the Com.
mittee OF Thirty, but the motion was
rejected by majority OF 100. The
Ministers. with the exception of NJ.
falkland. voted against it. The As
sembly adjourned until to morrow. It
is stated that Rochefoucauld resigned
bis position as Ambassador to Great
Britain before introducing the resolu-
tion. The Bonapartist Deputies held
conference before to.day's sitting,
and came to the conclusion that it
would be of no use to introduce any
counter motion against the Left
Centre. 'fr
LONDON. June 16.-A Times special
from Paris contains the following par.
ticnlars Of the proceedings in the AS
sembly, in addition to last nights re-.
port; M. Lambert De Saint Croix,
supported By ali The members of the
Right Centre, submitted q bill proyid-
ing that MacMahon's power be con.
firmed with the title of President of
the republic; that a second Chamber
be organized; that the right to dis.
solve both Chambers be conferred on
MacMahon, and that his successor be
appointed by the two Chambers in
convention. This bill was referred to
the Committee of Thirty. together
With that OF the Left Centre. The
Times correspondent adds: The exact
result of the sitting is, that the Com
mittee of Thirty now have received an
imperative mandate, forcing them to
promptly organize either the septenate,
without proolaiming the republic, or
to constitute and declare definite re-
public, under the Presidency of Mac
Mahon. It is probable that the com.
mission will organize septenate, and
the Assembly will ratify lis decision; /;
otherwise, the majority, hitherto with
the Government, will shift to the Left,
which, in all probability. would cause
MacMahon to resign. 1t is not I'M
likely that, i'll consequence of yester.
days proceedings. some Of the Minis
ters will resign; but there will be no
absolute Ministerial crisis.
In the Cabinet Council, held pre-.
vlous to the sitting OF the Assembly,
Gen. Cissey and others urged Presi.
dent MacMahon to send message to
the Assembly, reminding it of its pro.
mise to organize his powers, but ma.
Jorlt5 OF the Ministry were averse to
sach action. Ministers Cissey, Magne,
Grivart and Decasez voted in favor of
De La Roohefoucauld's g motion to refer
MS monarchical resolution to the Com
mlttee OF Thirty. Deputies Blanc,
Qulnef, Peyratz, D'Audiffret, Pasauier
and twenty members of the Right
Centre abstained from voting on Oasi-
mler Perier's motion for urgenoy on
the Left Centres constitutions bill.
