FRENCH POLITICS.
London January 27.-A Paris correspond
ent says: In consequence of yesterdays vote
in the chamber of deputies, it may be pre-
dicted that Gambetta' S fall will not make
profound impression on the bulk of the nation,
who thirst for the rest they have long lacked,
and which Gambetta's accession to power ap-
parenty made still more remote.
Paris, January 27.-.The republique Fran
caise says that the chamber, by sacrificing the
ministry, sacrifices the revision of the consti-
tuition, and perhaps also legislative reforms.
When it hereafter calls on Gambetta, it will
know that he must be taken with programme
Of which the scrutin de liste is an essential
condition. The article concludes: 'Will the
chamber be able to replace the cabinet by
more durable one, and will the chamber itself
last as long as it desires?"
Paris, January 27.-The ministerial crisis is
| not expected to terminate before Sunday.
Some newspapers anticipate purely business
| cabinet, with Leon Say as president of the
| council and minister of finance. 1t is re-
ported that President Grevy has also sum-
moned De Freycinet.
The report that Leon Say had been sum-
moned by President Grevy has produced good
impression.
| GAMBETTA'S SPEECH AND POLICY.
Paris, January 27.-Gambetta's speech in
the chamber of deputies yesterday was very
eloquent and was applauded by his adversa-
ries, especially the part in which he repudiated
the insinuations that he aspired to the dicta-
torship. After his speech he proposed that
clause in favor of the scrutn de liste be insert
| ed in the committee resolution and that the
first paragraph of the resolution and the reso-
| luton which the government opposed, viz: the
one asserting that sit is expedient to revise
The constitutional laws, be voted upon first"
| The proposal was made primarily in the hope
that the chamber would not stutify itself nv
reversing the decision it had just recorded in
M. Barodet's amendment in favor of the re-
vision of the constitution in its entirety.
The chamber adopted the paragraph by a
vote of 2S2 to 227.
| Gambetta then announced his resignation.
BY this maneuver he appears before the coun-
try as having been overthrown for opposing a
wild scheme for indefinite reform. Other
votes on the bill were taken subseunently
Alter the sitting Gambetta appeared to be
cheerful and confident.
