LONDON, Lee. IS, 1877.
The French crisis is ended. The Paris
correspondent of the HERALD telegraphs
that Marshal MacMahon has arrived at an
understanding with the Left. Last night
deputation OF members of the Right waited
upon him to say that it was utterly impos.
sible to form Ministry from their ranks
and that all further attempts in that direc-
ton would be useless The members OF
the delegation, while protesting the strong
est wish to support the Marshal, were mos,
emphatic in their expressions Of the neces
sity of coming to terms with the moderata
republicans and ending the crisis.

some conversation with the deputation,
among whom were some of his stanchest
friends, for whose opinion he has great
respect, said there was no other course left
open to him but to resign. His friends
were appalled, at the prospect and besought
him not to take this step. On condition Of
his retaining the Presidency they author
lied him to do whatever he pleased in order
to terminate the crisis.
he YIELDS AT LAST.
The Marshal still hesitated and reiterated
his unwillingness to retain Office under the
circumstances; but the delegation urged
their views with great force and pointed
out the danger to conservative interests Of
plunging the country into on uncertain
future by resigning at the present time
Finally the Marshal yielded and promised
to summon Ministry from the moderate
Left.

promptitude at once put his resolution
into effect by communicating with NJ. Du-
faure, giving him carte blanche to form q
Ministry. 1t is thought in well informed

task and that the long and trying crisis
which has afflicted France for months is
at last practically ended.

Recent indications leave little room to
doubt that the conservative coalition which
brought about this trouble is fast disinte.
