An official note was issued at IL o'clock
Tuesday night announcing the resignation Of
Of President Casimir-P -Perier, Of France, aud
forecasting the ideas he intends TO develop
In his farewell address TO the chamber OF
Deputies. Tho note says that In the eyes OF
the president Mondays sitting Of the cham
ber and the vote which oyerthrew the cabi-
net, we're only secondary incidents OF the
struggle which Is proceeding against the
parliamentary regime and public liberties.
NJ. Casimr-Perie had hoped that the presi.
dent OF the republic, who Is deprived OF
means OF action, would have been exempted
from party attacks. aud the political conf
dcnce OF the Republicans would have ac-
corded him power and authority. He had
also hoped that those who, despite himself,
hRd placed him In a position where was un.
able 10 defend himself would have under
taken the defense OF the first magistrate.
Continuing, the note says tina. the presl-
dent has requested tho ministers TO Temporal
rily withdraw their designations In order 10
facilitate the necessary changes. Prime
Minister Dupuy impaired President Casimir-
