it is that the ministry has decided to be
governed by the result of the elections
for the councils general.
A Paris correspondent asserts that the
following semi-oficisl note has been sent
to the provincial papers; 1T appears
to have been decided at the last cabinet
council that the present cabinet will re.
main in Office till November fifth, and
after the elections to councils the general
government will find itself in the pres.
ence of two extreme policies, one Of
which is a resistance to the chamber of
Deputies with the support Of the senate,
while the other is q complete concession
OF bringing into office a ministry com
posed exclusively of the Lett. The pres
ent disposition of the marshal does not
admit of the latter policy. However, the
preJident is willing TO see if it be not
possible to arrive at some kind Of means
BY which the Left of the chamber Of
deputies aud the right center Of the SEN
ate may be represented 10 the cabinet,
thereby establishing harmony between
the two houses"
