CHAN.. GARNIEIL obeyed. The following from the National describes exactly the present situation : " Tho Empire has now against it, in addition to the oath of the President, the crushing vote of the Legislative Assembly, and all the g€nersls who have any influence in the army. The majority, at the same time that it freed us from the Empire, committed suicide. It is no more. Nothing remeins of that great party of order which was to put an end to the Republic. Of the four great parties composing the Assembly, the most numerous at present is the Republican one. Claremont, Wiesbaden, and the tours of the President had less divided the majority than these three days of public confessions in the tribune. They were united above all by their joint respohsibility in the law of May 31, and by a common hatred against democracy; they are now aware that the day on which any one of them, quitting the policy of inaction, should desire to march atter the conquest of the chief power, it would find no enemies more irreconcileable and venomous than its pretended allies; they were strong only by their union, and they remained united only on condition of annihVating themselves. It was already edifying to see the Legitimatists grasp the hand of M. Thiers, the gaoler of Blaye, and hear M. de lontalembert dictate to the Voltairians of the school of Talleyrand the severeien orders of the congregationists. This alliance of all the hypocrisies gave a tine spectacle to Europe, and a noble engagement to the country; but, thanks to God, these enemies of democracy and liberty have condemned themselves. They have told each other their truths, so as to prevent all chances of reconciliation. M. Berryer could vote on Saturday with M. Thiers, but he will not pardon him to have disclosed in the tribune the political indigence of the guests of Wiesbaden. The treachery of Deutz will be first pardoned. Even should a new coalition be formed between the Legitimatists and the Orleanists, they have lost for ever the aid of the Elyseans, which they could not do without. It is a poor party in numbers, and still more so in intelligence; but such as it is the majority cannot lose it without ceasing to exist; and in losing it, loses power by the same blow, since it had given it  and maintained it. The majority which passed the law of May 31 does not any longer exist. It perishes in its victory, and its dissolution is so complete that there remains nothing more of it than the remembrance of its obstinacy in lies, and violence in evil. The Empire was never anything but a phantom; but the majority lived and reigned for its misfortune and ours. We find the following in the Illoniteur:— " A decree of the President of the Republic, dated the 18th, puts an end to the interim of the department of Marine and Colonies, confided to M. Drouyn de Lbuys, Minister of Foreign Affairs. By order of the President of the Republic, M. Ducos, will transact the affairs of the department of Marine and Colonies midi the nomination of his successor." The Patric says— " ha Parliamentary club of the Rue des Pyramides appears decided on pursuing the policy of conciliation which die:iced the vote of the 286. It met Yesterday evening in the library of the Council of State, and named a committee of three, composed of MM. Leon Faucher, Dare, and Luerost,e, charged to provide for the necsssides of the position. The club will retain its name, but is will apply all its energy to constitute it.=;elf in a manner as strong as its repulsion for every hostile mareeuvre against the Executive." Several arrests of persons took place on Sunday evening at the establishment of the Associated Cooks —the persons are accused of belonging to a secret Communist Society called the Union des Communes. In the Assembly on Monday M. BAC proposed a resolution absolutely protecting members from arrest for debt, which was defeated by 469 to 201. In the Assembly yesterday the debate on the proposition for regulating the arrest of members was resumed. The following is the first article by the proposed law : " Conformably to the 36th and 37th articles of the Constitution, no representative of the people can be arrested, in civil and commercial matters, without a previous authorisation of the National Assembly." M. CRETON moved that the representative of the people who, within a delay of three months from the date of the regular notification to him of a sentence of a court of justice decreeing his arrest for debt, should not have satisfied his creditors, be considered a bankrupt, and, as such, to have forfeited his right to occupy a seat in the Assembly. M. CRETON, however, wished that until then he should be held inviolable.  The amendment of M. CRETON was opposed by M. ODILON BARROT, and rejected. The Bourse was more animated, and there was more business transacted. The Five per Cents. opened at 95f. 25c., rose to 95f. 30c., and closed at 95f. 25c. The Three per Cents. closed at 57f. 10c. The New Loan 95f. 15c. Orleans Railroad Shares, 845 f. ; Rouen, 670 f. ; Havre, 268 f. 75c.; Great Northern, 4701. ; Avignon, 1861. 26c.; Vierzon, 385 f.; Basle, 1411. 25c.; Bordeaux, 397 f.; Paris and Strasburg, 352 f. 50c. ; Tours and Nantes, 2471. 50c.
