ANOTHER CONFERENCE.
The ministers to-day had another confer
ence with the committee of the Chamber Of
Deputies on the bills sgainst the pretenders,
and in reply to various questions they prom
ised 10 consider any decision the committee
might come to. After the departure OF the
ministers the committee adopted a PROPOSE
ton excluding from French territory, Algeria
and the colonies all members OF families
having reigned in France, depriying them OF
political rights as citizens, declaring them
ineligible to any Office, and preventing them
from belonging to the army. The resolution
Of the committee further provides that trans-
gressors of the proposed law shall he smena-

views Of the ministers and the committee.
Proust inquired whether the ministry
would use permiszive powers if granted.
The only answer he elected was
that they would examine the mat
ter. Falliers, Minister of the Interior,
declared that no danger existed threatening
the republic. Some troubles, some desires,
existed; but they had no chance OF realiza-
ton. No conspiracy, he thought, consider
ing the general fc cling of TIE nation, could
become formidable. The rumor which had
gained currency, that the charge against
Prince Jerome had be en- dismissed, has been
conlradicted. 1t was formally announced
from Frohsdorf that the Count de Chambord
