well address to the chamber of deputies The note says that in the eyes of the pres idcnt Mondays sitting of tho chamber and the vote which overthrow the cabinet were only secondary incidents of the struggle which is preceding against tho parlia- mentary regime and public liberties.
 NJ. Casimir- Poricr had hoped that the president of the republic, who is deprived of means of action. would have been ex- emptCd from party attacks, and that the political confidence of the Republicans would have accorded him power and au thority. Hc had also hoped that those who, despite himself, had placed him in posi- tion where he was unable to defend himself would have undertaken the defense of the first magistrate.
 Continuing the note says that the pres idcnt has requested the ministers to tenn porarily withdraw their resignations in order to facilitate the necessary changes.
