The Meeting Of the Presidents of the Left
Another Republican Imprisoned,

Another Republican Imprisoned.
PARIS, June S.-The Republique Franchise,
Gambetta's organ, says the published accounts
sections of the Left. are inaccurate. The meet
ing was an informal one.
The Evenment, an organ of the irreconcila-
BILE radicals, says that the Senators of the Left
have determined that the Republicans, though
they do not fear dissolution. ought to neglect
nothing which they may properly do to prevent
it.
M. Bonnet du Verdier, President of the Mum
clpai Council, recently arrested charged with
civil war and assassination, has been sentenced
to fifteen months imprisonment and 1000 francs
fine. Other participants of the meeting at St.
Denis incurred lesser but severe sentences.
MacAahon's Term-N0 Intention of Seek
ing an Extensi0n,
The Odre says Duke de Brolie received a
deputation of Legitimists who demanded that
the ministry be remodelled according to the
views of the royalists, and replied to them that
President MacMahon had no intention of ask
ing prolOngation of his powers. He would
it beyond that term, and thus close the door
upon hopes which were justified by the const
tuition. The Odre adds that President MacMa-
hon subsequently confirmed M. Broglie's state
ment.
The Moniteur admits that the meeting of the
Presidents of the Republican Left was infor-
mai, but maintains the virtual accuracy of the
published accounts which were questioned by
the Republique Franchise this morning,
The Soir says that the parties which favor
the immediate dissolution of the Chamber, ap-
pear to have gained upper hand. There is no
probability of the Chambers being prorogued
a second time.

LONDON, June S.-A Vienna despatch COM

Pasha has given up the idea of defending the
cas- tern heights in Erzeroum, though he seems
to intend to defend the town and take posses :.
sion OF the western heights, where the roads
cross over Kopdagh to Baiburt and Trebizond.
This backward movement was caused by the
advance OF the Russian column from Olti. the
cavalry of which, according to Wednesdays &C
count, was already near Ispir, on the road to
Baiburt. thus threatening Communication be-
tween Erzeroum and Trebizond. To meet this
danger, Mukhtar Pasha has sent five battalions
and guns in that direction.
