GAMBETTA'S GREAT SPEECH. “ Dissolution” Means “The Preface of War.” DON CARLOS PERSECUTED Details of the Mutiny on an American Vessel. [Bz caBLE TO THE HERALD. j Lonvon, May 18, 1877. The excitement in Paris occasioned by the dicta- torial attitude of the Executive in treating with M. Jules Sunon has somewhat abated “in consequence of the semi-official notice issued toward two o'clock yesterday afternoon to the etfect that MacMahon was determined to maintain a policy of peace with all the Powers, and reprehended with the greatest firmness all uitramontane demonstrations. THE NEW MINistRY. ‘The following is a list of the new Ministry which the HRRALD’s Paris correspondent obtained late | last night at the Kiys¢e:— President of Council and Minisier of Justice. Due de Broghe. Intertor—M., de Fourton. War—M, Bertuaud, Foreign Afaiws—Duc Vecazes, Marine—M. Fournichon. Finance—M. Fugene Caillau: Agriculure ana Commerce—Viscount de Meaux. Public Instruction—M. Branet. Public Works—M., Auguste Paris. EXCITEMENT IN PARLIAMENT, A most exciting scene occurred in the Chamber of Deputies yesterday during the interpellation which, it had been agreed, should be put to the Ministry concerning their resignation, M. Gam. betta’s speech was oue of the greatest oratorica, efforts of his lute, Chamber stating the Legisiature would only place A resolution was belore the contidence in a Cabinet free to and resolved to govern in accordance with republican principies. GAMBEVTA'S ELOQUENT ARKS. M. Gambetta began bis eloquent address by the statement that ke believed it his duty to express frou the tribune the strong emotion which reigned in the mind of the French people. There was, he said, no confict in Parliament, no vote had passed placing the Ministry ina minority. Ata moment when France was engaged in the observance of a patriotic neutrality, and needed the enjoyment of prolonged security, the nation was suddenly apprised that the President of the Re- public had written a letter necessitating the Pre- mier’s resignation, The nation, in its anxiety, asked whether there does not exist at the side of the head of the State a preponderating influence with which no Ministry could cope. ‘the Chamber only asked what President MacMahon to-day prom- | ised—namely, a pacitic policy and the repression of ultramontane intrigues. CRNSURING THE PRESIDENT. next repeated, amid derision, a remark of the Marshal President when he was rimanding the very intriguers and mis- chiet makers who are now making themselves Jelt in the land:—“Don't attempt this adventure; the Chassepots would go~oft of themselves.” continued the speaker, Gambetta considerable Now, it Is time to turn to constitutional truth, It 1s not true, as suggested by a well Known councillor, that the President of the Republic bears a responsibility over and above that of the Ministry. The authors of sucn a sug- gestion are the President's real enemies. They are leading him to his rum. Marshal MacMahon daring bis military career have studied political truths. recall him to the exact observance of the constitution ana divert him from perfidious coun- sels, The country alone is sovereign, It desires a wise and definitive Republic, wishes to be rid of the nightmare of these men of reaction who come anil show their livid faces at all moments of uncer: tainty. Let it be stated whether the intention is to govern with republicans possessing the contidence cannot of the country or with men whose unpopularity has been demonstrated. A UREPACE OF WAR’? ‘The closing passage of his address was extremely forcible, Raising his right hand above the desk of the tribune he exclaimed, “Should dissolution ar- rive the majofity does not fear it, but the country may sce in it the preface of war. Criminal will be those who provoke it." This was followed by tre- mendous cheering. The order of the day proposed by Gambetta was then carried bya majority of 355 to 14, ONLY ONE MINISTER PRESENT. M. Christophe, Minister of Public Works, was the only member of the Simon Ministry present during the debate. Around the Chamber the crowd was so great that soldiers had to be posted to keep the approaches clear, ALL QUIFT IN PARIS.

A correspondent, writing from Paris at midnight om Wednesday, said President MacMahon’s letter to 51, Jules Sion 1s ono of the most serious and perhaps most fatal events since the fall of M. Thiers, INTRIGUERS RESPONMIDLE, This correspondent recapituluies the repented efforts of the Right to bring about a collision between Presi- dent MacMahon and the republicans, as President MacMahon has several times declared that if the Left Sought to lead him too far he would form a Right and dissolutionist Cabinet, The couneite.; eral and municipal councils, which are charged with the duty of electing Senators, must soon be renewed, The men of the Right who wore leading this con- ‘spiracy found theinselves driven into a corner, They wished on no account to intrust these elections to the present republican Cabinet. PLANS OF THE CONSPIRATORS, They bad, therefore, to force on the conflict which the Chainber of Deputies had avoided, The discussion on the Municipal law bad commenced. ~ This discus- sion was only on the first reading. M, Simon had reserved for himself intervention on the second. On the press law M. Simona confined his op- position to the question of substituting trial by jury for summary juriediction in cases of Insults on the Marsbal and foreign sovereigns, This, ff a mistake, could be repaired, but those who dreamed of a coup d’efat, had not the patience to Wait and they suggested tothe Marshal tho perilous letter, It is couched in offensive terms and divulges what passed in council in a fashion which will excite the censure of the whole world, It conclades, Ike all manilestoes of coup d'état makers, by threatoning to appeal te the country. . M. Simon, tn an interview with President MacMahon, said, “offer you my resignution.”” President Mac- Mahon replied, “I expected it and accept It.” By three o'clock in the afternoon the Marshal had received the resignations of the whole Cabinvt, except from the Minister of War. REVOLUTIONARY PROCEEDINGS, The authorship of President MacMahon’s letter 1s attributed to the Duke do Broglie and M. Fourtou. MacMahon is said to have declared that it seemed dan- werous to let tho administration of the country remain any longer in the hands of the present Cabinet, At the samo time itis affrmed that, availing himself of the article in the coustitution Which gives bim that right, the Marshal will havea deereo read pro- roguing the Chamber of Deputics fora month. The Chamber will reply by a vote of Want of contidenco or by some oiher extreme measure, for tt is impossible to ; foreaee to wit length the Chamber, after an example of violence and deception, might Proceed. But in any case the Chamber will be prorogued and will reassemble only to be dissolved, for the straggle 1s henceforth absolutely inevitable, unless the Marshal, enlightened on the fatal act into which he has been seduced, takes a Cabinet again from the Lett, which is improbable. Most of the diplomatists I have met have not hesitated to qualify tho act asa coup détat, Deliberations, however, are still going on, and the greatest efforts aro being made to appease the anger of tho Lett and to allay the excitement mant- fest in tho artisan quarters, ‘hero is every rea- son to lope that theso cfluris will succeed, Otherwise it may be confidently declared that elections beld in these circumstances will hurry France toward jresh ventures, and tho future Minis- ters, if taken from the ranks of the antierepudlican conspirators, will have an unenviabie respousibility in the cyes of history. : PRKSS COMMENTS ON THE Causi8, The Temps eays President MacMahou’s letter ia of gravely unusual character, but was.not the result of a provicusiy concerted combination, The Paris oficial Journal announces that the Simon Cabinet Ministers will rotain office until their succes. sors are appointed, Tho republican newspapers. strongiy reprobate the change and express grave apprehensions for the fu- ture, ‘The Datly News remarks on the ominous expression used by President MacMahon that he ts responsible to France, and gaya responsibility in the mouth of the man commanding tho armies ineans, according to many sinister precedents, that be claims the right tédo what seems good ju his own eyes, ‘The Telegruph’s Paris correspondent says:—"Great excitement provailed here Wednesday night. As the evening advanced tue fovling became more intense. Crowds {n various parts of the city raised cries of “Vive la Republique |? ‘Vive la Constitution !'* +A bas les Jesuites !?” The Pimes says:—Wo doubt if any King of Franco ever addresaed a more unccremonious inessago (0 the cbicf of bis servants than that of President Mac.
