OF the Right 10 bring about collision between Pres-
dent MacMahon and the republicans, as President
MacMahon has several times declared that II the Left
sought TO lead him too far he would form q
Right and dIssolutionis Cabinet The councils gen
cra and municipal councils, which ara charged with
the duty of eectng Senator's must soon be renewed.
The men OF the Right who were leading this con-
spiracy found themselves driven into They
wished ON account TO ntrust these elections to the
present republican Cabinet
PLANS coSsprRATogs
They had, therefore, to force the conflict which
the Chamber OF Deputies Ind avoided. The discussion
on the Municipal law had commenced This discus
sion was only The FIRST reading. N. Simon
had reserved Tor himself Intervention on tho
second. On the press law N. Simon confined his or
position TO the question Of substituting trial by jury
for summary jurisdiction in cases OF insults ON tho
Marshal and foreign sovereigns This, IL mistake,
could DO repaired, but those who dreamed
OF a coup d'eta had not tho patience to
walt and they suggested TO tho Marshal tho rerlous
letter. II is couched in offensive terms and dyulges
what passed in council in fashion which will excite
the ccnsure Of the whole world. 1t concludes Ike all
maniiestoes Of coup deta makers by threatening 10
appeal to the country.

said. II oner you my resignation President Mac
Mahon replied, ~ expected 1t and accept IT,"
BY three O'Clock In the afternoon the Marshal had
received the designations OF the whole Cabinet except
from the Minister of War.
REvoLuTioNARY PROCEEDINGS.
The authorship OF President MacMahon's letter is
attributed to the Duke do Broglic and M Fourtou.
MacMahon Is said to have declared that II seemed dan
gerous TO let tho administration OF tho country
remain any longer in the hands Of the present Cabinet
AT the same time 1t Is affirmed that, avuing himself
OF the article in the constitution which gives him
that right, the Marshal will have decree read pro-
rogung the Chamber OF Deputies for a month The
Chamber will reply by vote OF wan; OF confidence
by some other extreme measure, for It Is Impossible 10
forcsee to what length tho Chamber, after
example of violence and deception, might
proceed But any the Chamber will DO
prorogued and will reasonable only to be dissolved
Tor the struggle Is henceforth absolutely inevitable
unless the Marsha enlightened the act into
which he has been scauced takes Cabinet again from
the Left which is improbable Most Of the diplomatists
have met have not hesitatcd to qualify tho act as
comp detak Deliberations, however are still going
on and tho greatest efforts being made appcase
the anger OF the Lett and to allay the mani
fest in tho artisan quarters. There is every rea-
son hope that these Efforts will succeed
that elections held in these circumstances will hurry
France toward fresh ventures and tho future Minis
ters II taken from the ranks of the anti-republican
consprators Will have uncnyabc responsibility in
the eyes OF history.
