GAMBRTTA LOSES HIS GRIP.
Paris, Jan. 16-When Gambetta took his
seat to-day at the opening of tine Corps Leg
islative, as its President, his reception by
the body was in marked contrast with the
demonstrations which on the former occa-
sipns attended him. When he arose to ad-
dress the legislative Confreres, the extreme
Left regarded his assumption of the chair
with poorly concealed aversion and dis
trust, while the Right maintained polite
but strictly critical attitude.
On taking the chair NJ. Gambetta ex-
pressed his sense of the honor conferred
upon him, and said he should devote all
the energy and intelligence he possessed to
the promotion of the work of the Cham
bers, and trusted that the internal affairs
and international interests of France would
not suffer through his present official con
nection with them or BY any i'll advised
steps on the part of the Chambers. M.
Gamhettas remarks were received with de-
ciued GOODNESS by both wings of the Legis-
lature,, and it was apparent that his former
popularity and ability to excite enthusiasm
had slipped from his grasp. +ta ~ "
