FRANCE. The Public Situation Still More Cloomy. “Republic or Dissolution” Vital Question. the Paris, June 8, 1876. ‘The feeling at Versailles is gloomy. ‘The proposal for @ dissolution of the Assembly has been signed by 125 Deputies, who have hopes of securing {n addition the signatures of the 195 members forming the Left Centre. The motion for dissolution will be presented in the Chamber at the earliest opportunity. A BOLD AND GRAND RESOLVE, The Left Centre is determined to have a settle- ment of the question, republic or dissolution, be- fore the August adjournment. Steady Approach of a Grand French Na- tonal Crisis. Lonpon, June 9—5 A. M. The Times’ correspondent at Paris telegraphs that it isexpected that M. Dulaure in a few days ‘will ask the Committee on the Constitutional Laws to come to a vote on the first article of the bill Introduced May, 1873, providing that the govern- ment consist of a Senate, Chamber of Representa- * tives and President 01 the Republic, If the committee rejects the article, the Left Centre will move in the Assembly to refer a sim- War proposition to a new commission. i Should this fail, the Left Centre, as a last resort, will move the dissolution of the Assembly. In the event of an adverse vote on the motion the Deputies belonging to all sections of the Left may possibly resign en masse. —_ To rae Kpiror or THE HERALD:— The second reading in the French National As- sembly of the new Electoral law, whose vrincipal feature consists in suppressing at once from 2,000,000 to 3,000,CO0 of voters, ought to have filled ‘with an unbounded joy the hearts of all those who have remained faithiul to the Bonapartist cause im France and abroad. in fact, the passing of this Jaw at its second reading by @ majority of seven- ty-six being equivalent to the final adoption of the bill, gives to young Napoleon [V. the only atout that was still missing in bis cards in order to win she game with nearly an absolute certainty.
