LONDON, March 8, 1879.
NJ. Lepere has succeeded N. de Marcere Minister
Of the Interior. Under reactionary lstruggle in
France the most trying berth in the Ministry is
that of the Interior. This arises from the fact
that it is next to impossible to reconcile the conflict
ing and hostile interests Of the capital and the prov
inces. 1t is doubtful if many who learned yester-
day Of NJ. do Marcere's departure from tho
waddington Cabinet recalled the fact that only
few weeks ago he was charged with undue efforts
at conciliating the very radicals who have now
driven him from Office. This under M. Du-
faure; but directly NJ. Dufaure went into political
retirement M. de Marcere found himself cmbroiled
with the Paris Municipal Council and the Police In
quiry Committee. In the brief interval intervening.

archives Of the police were being hauled

Clamenceau has succeeded Gatbetta leader of the
extreme Left The opponents of the present Minis

OF NM. Gambetta and Clemenceau Mondays sitting
was not calculated to dispel this dea. The Cabinet
know that their only hope of creating solid con-
servative majority is bybreaking with the extremists.
1t was thought that Monday would witness their
schism. In fact it Clemcnccau's speech which
was Ministerial n. Marceres defence was weak be-
cause he declared he spoke for himself alone-in
other words. that he no longer had confidence in
his colleagues. There were no other speakers. Tho
Right enjoyed in silence the last agony of member
Of the republican Cabinet. while the other Minister'S
with ascetc air seemed unconcerned in tho duel.
