FRENCH POLITICS
The republican journals tins morning
consider that yesterdays proceedings of the
assembly demonstrate the poweressncss of
that body, and declare that dissolution is
the only remedy for the unsettled political
situation. 1t is probable that several mo-
tons for a dissolution of the assembly will
be introduced at to-day's sitting.
