Vote of Confidence.

Paris, June 26.-The cabinet ministry
presented themselves to the chambers
this afternoon The chamber of depu-
ties was thronged, and there was great
animation at the opening of the SeS-

hostile groups, the socialist radicals
and the Democratic left had decided to
vote in favor of the government, and

drawn his Interpolation. Identical
statements were read in the chamber
of deputies by the premier, NJ Wal
deck Rousseau. and in the senate by
the minister of justice, Nj. Monis. They
were as follows:
The chamber of deputies, in ex-
pressing itself resolved not to support
any government but one determined to
defend energetically republican insti-
tutions and assure public order, has
clearly defined the task imposed upon

and courageous assumption of respon-
sibility Such is necessarily the first
duty of the government. 1t is resolved
to have all judicial decisions respected.
and if the first wish OF the country is
to listen TO the voice of justice, it will
maintain silence and respect while its
decisions are prepared

most illustrious and surest guides, that
invioIable. attachment TO discipline, is
