Versailles. The legitmist dep1ties to the num-
Der OF hundred have decided to vote against
the ministry tomorrow. They have drawn up
an order OF the day, censuring the government
for its misuse of the powers conferred by the
state OF siege, avoiding any mention of the
manifesto OF the Count de Chambord, or of the
suppression of LIE Union, SO as to secure the
support of the left. The position of the minis
try is critical. 1t j, thought some changes will
be unavoidable, even if the counter coalition in

in Danuersport to-day partly submerged in

thrown into the water, the pistol being left to
give the impression of suicide. The deceased
