. Mac xahon sent . message to the Chamber OF
Deputies at Versailles, ordering that the session he
prorogued for one month from date. This occa-
stoned but little surprise, From the moment Jules
Simon resigned, the Executive determined upon
this STEP His idea was to encourage the Right to
which he belongs, while dscomlting the Left as
far as possible. In calling upon the Due lie Broglie
to form q Cabinet, however, he practically
dened the conservative republican element, and
deprived himself OF that strong support in the
country which has hitherto been of such immense
service to his administration. Indeed, the support

tuous than in the Chamber OF Deputies When NJ.
