In the French Assembly.

crowded with deputies and spectators. NJ.
Casimer PeIier introduced constitutional
bill, prepared by the left centre, and moved
that Its consideration be declared urgent.
He said the country demanded termina-
ton of the provisional state. He urged
gogues. The speaker was frequently inter
rupted by the right and warmly applauded
by the leit.
NJ. Laboulaye supported the motion for
regency. He said the recent events had
shown the dangers of provisional condi-
ton. A monarchy was impossible; an EN-.
pire would only lead to the invasion and
oppression OF France; republic was s the
government OF all, for all, and its establish
ment would inspire the country with conf
dence.
General Rechournier. OF the right centre,
and NJ. Raoul Duval, Of the right, opposed
the motion. NJ. De Kerdrel, Of the right,
warned the members that if majority OF
the Assembly was changed Marshal Mao
Mahon might consider it his duty to resign
the Presidency.
A vote was then taken on the motion for
urgency. and it was agreed to by yeas 345,
nays BAL. All the ministers voted against
it, but in their capacity as members Of the
Assembly only. The motion has not been
made Cabinet question. Urgency having
been declared, the bill was referred to a
committee OF tnlrty.
NJ. de la Rochefoucauld, Due de Bissac-
cia, of the extreme right, then introduced
resolution in substance as follows, which
was read amid profound silence in the AS
sembly: II declares that the government
OF France is a monarchy: is the one which
belongs to the head of the house OF France.
Marshal MacMahon may assume the title OF
lieutenant of the kingdom, and national in'
stitutions shall be determined by agrees
In<. $l> L., ran
sentatives.
Great excitement followed the reading OF
the resolution Rochefoucauld moved it be
referred to the committe OF thirty. The
motion was rejected by a majority of twos
The ministers, with the exception of NJ
Tailhaud, voted against it.
The Assembly adjourned until tomorrow.
1t is stated that RochefOucauld resigned
| his position as AMBASSADOR to Great Britain
| before introducing his resolution.
The Bonapartist deputies held confer
ence before to-day's sitting, and came to
| the conclusion that j. would be of no use to
| introduce any counter motion against the
| left centre.
LONDON, June l6-A special dispatch
from Paris contains the following particu-
| lars of the proceedings in the Assembly, in
addition to last nights report:
M. Lambert De ST. Croix, supported by
all the members Of the right centre, SUBJ
mitted bill, providing that MacMahOn's
| powers be confirmed, with the title Of
| President of the republic. That second
! Chamber be organized. That the right to
dissolve both Chambers be conferred on
MacMahon, and that his successor be ap-
pointed by the two Chambers in conven-
! ton.
| This bill was referred to the committee
Of thirty, together with that of the left
| centre.
| The Tines correspondent adds: The
exact result of the sitting is that the com
mittee of thirty now have received an i'm
| perative mandate forcing them to promptly
| organize either the Septenate, without pro-
! claiming repub bile, or declare a defDitive
republic under the presidency OF Mac
| Mahon.
| 1t is probable that the commission will
organize Sepcenate and the Assembly Will
| rarify it's decision, otherwise the majority
| hitherto with the government will shift to
| the left, which in all probability would
| cause Mac cMahon TO resign.
| 1t is not unlikely that in consequence OF
| yesterdays proceedings some of the minis
| ters will resign, but there will be no abso
lutte ministerial crisis
In the Frenc cabinet council, held pre-.
| vious to the sitting OF the Assembly. Gem

A Monarchy Impossible.
The Republican journals speak in eulo
CYSTIC terms of both the members of tn,
right and left centres of the Assembly, be
cause of their vote yesterday against thu
restoration of a monarchy. They say thu
vote in the Assembly though it does no
proclaim a republic, shows that monarch,
is impossible.
NlacNIahon Strengthened.
| The Orleanist journals affect to consider
| that the action of the Assembly leaves tht
| situation unchanged, but express the belief
| nevertheless, that the consequence OF the
vote will be the consolidation of MacMa
hons powers
