Versasrves, March 8—In the Chamber to- day Brisson’s report was read. Among the griev- ances agaiist De Broglie Cabinet is the com- plaiut that it violated the Constitution by rais- ing anew the question of form of government, which had previously been settled by constitu- tional law. It also violated the rule of irre- sponsibility of the President of the Republic, one of whose speeches betrayed thoughts of personal power. The authors of the eveats of the 16th of Mny designed the establish- ment of a dictstorship. They - violated. the Constitution by delaying the elections beyond the legally-prescribed three months; by esading the Electoral law relative to councils gen- eral and conncils of arrondissement; by forbid- ding colportage, and closing wineshops; by col- 1usion, extortion, undue pressure on the magis- tyacy, and the creation of fictitions rise on the Bourse. - After the election gave & Republican - majority; the Cabinet continued to fight a whole month; and under the Rochbuet Ministry, which followed all preparations were made to strike a blow by force.

INDIANAPOLIS, Murch $.—The history of Tn~ diana does not show so shameless and bare- feced a proceeding as that by which the regular session of the General Assewbly was frittered away to-doy and to-night. The Republicans 1 the Senate mede every effort to get the appro~ priation bills up, but the Democrats stoutly re- fused. Not more than thirly votes could be ob- tained at any time for 2 suspension of the rules, thirty-four being required. The leaders of the Demacraey were determined to force an extra session to cure the defeats of the regular ses- sion if possible, and show a respectable record to the people. About 4 o'elock Speaker Cautborne left the chair of the House, aud, while hg was gope into the Senate, the Iouse regularly adjourned until Monday moring, and at once, upon hearing of this, the Senate took the game action. The Speaker hurricd back to the House, assumed, the chuir, and, while members were oll on their feet, asked them to reconsider their action, which they did, and sgreed to meetat § o’elock this evening. In accordance with this frregular proceeding, seventy-one members, of the House met, the Speaer iu the chair, and were about to proceed. to business, but strenuons objections were made by.a few clear headed Democrats, and by nearly all the Republicans and after an hour of screming farce and disorder, ~ the Speaker. declared the “only safe thing to do was to adjourn, and he dissolved the irrezu-~ lar and illegal body without motion. Nothing of the kind ever happened before. This was the last legisiative day of the session, and only two bills of sccondary importance were epacted into laws. . No effort was made to take up the appropriation bills. It was a bull- dozing game to foree a special scssion, which will provably be called for Tuesday mest, to follow at once upon the expiration of the regu- 1ar session. 5 During the afternoon Senators McDonald and Voorhees were, on the floor of the House, and each made brief speeches, neither saying aay: thing of particular moment. Scoators Voorhees and- McDonald were wel- comed home to-duy by ap artillery salute, and his evening the Washington Club are to give them g handsome reception at their rooms. “The bills eoacted into_laws to-day were that giving bodies to medical socictics, allowing married women to usc their individual esiates, and to place the general election ou the day fixed by the Constitution.

Goodrich the percentage agreed upon in his contract. Hence but one boat of the line is now in commission,— the -propeller Depere,—which blies between .Chicago, Milwaukee, and west-shore ports, and. malkes one trip each week to Manistee. The propellers Menominee, Truesdell, and Oconto, and side-wheel stcamer Sheboygan, are Deing thiorougaly overhauled here for the spring, summer, aud fall trade upon their usnal routes. If the present mild weather lasts the side-wheel steamers will go into commission before the 1st of April. When this occurs, 2nd perhaps even before, the propeller Depere will be temporarily withdrawn for a thorough overhauling and regovation. . 1t has become known here that Capt.

Sowe interest i3 manifested here in the dis- posal of the contract to supply frelgbt und pas- senger steamers for the Grand Haven transic route. It is whispered in some quarters that the Northwestern ‘Uransportation Company find a competitor in tie field i the persun of Cant. Pridzeon, who up to_lgst fall has furnished steamers to the Grand Trunk Sarnia route. I this is 5o, then lower Sgures than_now allowed will certainly be obtained by the Great Western Railway Company.
