The French Agitation.
KumOTs of "A New Cabiuet to be Formed
at Once.

PvRIs, December 3. The Temps says that Du-
fauie Is entrusted with the formation of a cabinet
and went this afternoon to Versailles to consult
with his friends.
At a meeting to-day Of the left centre it APP
pesred in view of prol pngation of the crisis, to
be unanimously the opinion at present to refuse
to vote the budget
NJ. Leon had an interview with MacMahon on
Saturday, and stated the left centre would accept
u ministry from the left without guarantee Of the
status quo Of May 18Th.
The Moniteur announces that NJ. Dufaure has
consented to act intermediary between the left
and President MacMahon. He has already spec
ined to the President the concessions the chamber
could reasonably demand and the President has
distinctly agreed TO them. Dniaure will now
certain iron the majority the precise condition on
which 1t would accept reconciliation, and will m
press upon 1t the necessity OF moderation. 1t Is
probable that Dutaure's consu ltalons with the
President led TO the report of the Temps to-day
that he had been summoned to form II cabinet.

nation He has displayed to good advantage in

They are all painted from original sketches made
bv the artist in fields, meadows, by the wavside,
on the mountain, by the seaside, OF wherever
spot could be found, which, transferred to can
yass. would form picture to be sought for. The
paintings not only appeal to those who love the

what must be seen to be appreciated, we ask the
ladies and gentlemen TO step into the new store in
Central Block, where the paintings are on ex-
hibition, take catalogue, and leisurely study the
artists work. The exhibition will continue day
and evening during this week. The details of
