THE PROPOSITION TO DISSOLVE THE CHAMBER
OF DEPUTIES

OF DEPUIlES.
LONDON. November IA Reuter- dis
patch from Paris says: 1t is stated when
the Minister OF Finance introduces his bud
get deputy OF the Right will propose that
the four principal direct taxes be voted i'm
mediately, independent Of the budget. The
Republicans are not expected TO entertain
this proposition. Other information is to
the effect that belief prevails that q refusal
OF the Chamber OF Deputies to vote these
four taxes will be followed by request for
a vote Of dissolution in the Senate, and il
that request is granted the President in
tends to dissolve the Chamber, and submit
the question OF his resignation to the coun-
try by sort Of plebiscitc. The MacMa-
honites claim that the Senate will vote for
dissolution by fifteen or twenty majority,
but this is not generally believed. All the
late ministerial organs in the OrleaniSt or
Constitutional interest now demand Re-
publican Ministry, including the Monitein,
S0leil, Soir, and the Constitutional. No
Republicans attended President MacMa-
hons reception on Saturday. 'r.

Der Of Deputies to-day, III. Jules Greyy, re-
turning thanks for his election as permanent
president, said he would strive to show
himself equal to the occasion in the same
manner as this Chamber, by its moderation
and tirmneSs, would know how to act up to
its esponsbility, guided by wisdom and
the will Of the country. .f:..
Urgency was then voted for. -..t..,.
70 A motion was made to modify the stand
ing orders so as to better enable the presi-
dent to repress disturbances during debate.
9u NJ. Albert Greyy moved the appointment
of a committee to inquire into election
abuses. He declared the country expected
"a condemnation OF the system OF official
candidatures, and he asked that urgency be
voted for on his motion. The Duke De Brog.
lie, in the name Of the Government, sup
ported the demand for urgency. He said
he wished light thrown on the accusations
against the Government. The Ministry
would meet the inquiry with more readiness
than did the members Of the Government OF
the 4th Of September on q former occasion,
although perhaps it might ask for more i'm
partial Judges than Committee of Inquiry.

THE POPE IN 4 CRITICAL CoNDITIoN-uIs END
-. SHORTLY EXPECTED. -
d LONDON, November IA dispatch says
Dispatches received from Rome to-day
state that the Holy Father passed very
restless night, and the gravest fears are en-
tertained for his life. From his ftiuI slum-
bers during the night he always awakened
in full possession Of his faculties, and was
conscious OF. an going on around him. De-
spite his enfeebled condition, he insists on
receiving most of those who call upon him,
and to many he gives instructions OF per-
sonal or ecclesiastic nature. Many of the
most eminent physicians Of Italy have been
summoned to his bedside, and give it as
their opinion that he cannot recover, al
though they admit he may linger for many
DAYS, il not for week or more. 81, Il,
So soon as the death Of the Pontiff is an
nounced the cardinals will assemble in con-
clavc, and it is thought that this conclave
will last not longer than one day, and that
an Italian will be chosen as the successor OF
Pho Mono. The Italian Government has
already taken precaution to station strong
guard all around the approaches to the Vati-
can, to prevent any pillaging that might fol-
low on the death OF the Pope being made
public. 1t is further announced that the
temporary interment Of the Pope will take
place in St. Peters until his final resting
place shall have been selected.
