| PARIS, Feb. 21.-The Extreme Left at
the meeting yesterday resolved to support
the new Senate bill, after speech by Gam
/ BETA, who showed the danger there was
that the Bonapartists would take advantage
of a prolonged prOyisiOrum. Only ten
members dissented from the action Of the
meeting.
The BOnapartists contemplate offering
an amendment to the Senate bill, prOpOs-
/ ing that the Senators be elected by univer-
sal suffrage. They hope by this means to
/ break up the majority; but the Left has
agreed to oppose all the amendments. The
/ latter will support a demand for urgency,
move that the bill be added to that for the
organization Of the public powers, and then
vote for the entire project.
