CITIZEN OPINION OF THE CRISIS.
The opinion Is generally expressed that the
aegitimist party IN the Assembly, by its vote Of
Friday. committed political suicide 1t is asserted
that their policy was inspired from FrohsdorI
The division between the Moderate and Ex-
IRENE Right renders probable an alliance between
the former section and the conservative wing
of the Left Centre. A new majority may thus be
constituted which viii support the incoming gov
eminent and enable 1t to 60 on with the execution
OF the programme Of the Septennate and bring
about the speedy adoption OF the constitutional
bills.
It is not thought that there is any immediate
prospect OF dissolution OF the Assembly.
REPUBLICAN DEMAND FOR PARLIAMENTARY DIS
SOLUTION.
The republican journals strongly urge the imme-
Sdiate dissolution Of the Assembly, which they de-
clare 'poweress to constitute anything"
THE RoYALIsT POLICY.
There Is rumor that the members OF the Ex-
IRENE Right intend to move the restoration Of the
monarchy. and If the motion fails, will vote for
dissolution OF the Assembly.
THE NATION TRANQUIL.
Tranquility prevails throughout France.
