FRANO MacMahon Defines His Pre dential Position. The Septennate Will “Inspire Confidence and Respect.” s Panis, July 22, 1874. President MacMahon, in response to a deputa tion of members of the Assembly who waited upon him to-day, said he was not summoned to power in order to restore etther the monarchy or the em- pire. His acts proved that he would not particl- pate in such enterprises. The law which created the Septennate still iess 1mposed upon him the task of constituting a definite Republic. M. Perier’s bill offered him nothing; but by isolating him irom the conservatives, by whose aid he wished to govern, would deprive lim of much. Conse- quently the Ministers would declare in his name that he rejected the project. In conclusion, he expressed the opinion that the proclamation of the Republic might disturb order and peace, but if the laws he asked for were voted the Septennate would become a government calculated to Inspire confidence and respect, WHAT THE GOVERNMENT WILL DEMAND. Its now understood that the government to- Morrow will cemand of the Assembly the adoption of the laws referred to by the President—viz., the Constitutional bill drawn up by the Committee of Thirty, together with the three additional meas- ures proposed by the Minister of the Interior to that commitiee on the loth inst.
