LAMORICIERE. The reservation of the Poor-law Bill was rejected by a majority of 444 to 309, and that of the Law on Primary Instruction by 458 to 307. The proposal to reserve the:organic law on the press was likewise rejected, and before it separated the National Assembly read the organic Electoral Law a first time. The conspirators of the 29th of January have thus succeeded in forcing the Republican Assembly to commit suicide. The reactionary journals are all in ecstacies at this unexampled triumph of the system of " enormous lying," which in every country in Europe constitutes the stock-in-trade of the reactionary party, and calculates the number of days :that must elapse before the Legislative Assembly, elected under the joint influence of terror, corruption, and cajolery, can assemble in order to cashier the PRESIDENT, as he was elected to cashier the National Assembly. The Constitutionnel calculates the number of days that must elapse at 80, and fixes the 7th of May as the day for the meeting of the Legislative Assembly. That meeting will be the signal for the present Ministers and flatterers of LOUIS NAPOLEON to turn upon him and kick aside the plancite Napolionienne. Actaeon•like he will be hunted by his own hounds, and if in his extremity he should turn to the honest Republicans of the veille for assistance we trust it will be afforded him, for from this time the salvation of the Republic depends upon LOUIS NAPOLEON BONAPARTE continuing President. With regard to the conduct of the Assembly itself we concur in the following opinion expressed by the National:— " Our readers will comprehend the painful feeling we experienced at the sight of the Assembly, hithiirto so firmly united by its Republican convictions, at preser t divided by the intrigues of reactionary parties, and thus repudiating in succession every portion of the duty entrusted to it."  The Patric), the official journal of the Government, has the following on the subject of the reservation of the Budget. " An explanation was given to-day, in the lobbies of the National Assembly, of the first paragraph of Art. 3 of the proposition on the dissolution, voted yesterday by 41.5 to 373. The following are the terms of this article :  " ' The order of the day of the Assembly shall be regulated in such manner that, independently of thu electoral law, the law of the Council of State, the law of the responsibility of the President of the Republic and of the Ministers, and the. budget of 1849, shall be voted before the dissolution.'  " The words and the budget of 1849,' added to the article as drawn up by M. Lanjuinais, by way of amendment, proposed by MM. Dezenneris and Pascal Duprat, differ essentially from the amendment of M. Sauteyra, which was withdrawn. An amendment, according to the ideas of M. Senard, was rejected. It was erroneously considered that this vote was a check to the majority. It cannot in anywise alter the essential provision of the law which is thus conceived:— " The elections for the Legislative Assembly shal take place on the first Sunday that shall follow the fina closing of the electoral lists in all the departments.' " The above quoted provision, voted yesterday, does not render the voting of the budget obligatory upon the Assembly ; it only prescribes that the order of the day may be so regulated that it may be voted before the separation. As M. Gouin, President of the Committee of Finance, remarked, this faculty is according to right. Its insertion in the decree on the dissolution of the Assembly cannot in any manner alter the date fixed by Art. 2."  The Constitutionnel announces that the French Government has acceded to the proposal to join a congress of Catholic Powers, to be held at Gaeta, to afford the POPE their aid to enable him to exercise his spiritual authority freely, and in a manner worthy of the Catholic population of the world. Numerous addresses from different legions of National Guards are daily presented to Colonel PORESTIER, expressive of sympathywith him, and protesting against the arbitrary and illegal conduct of General
