No damage was done by the Turkish Batteries, the weapons being of a very inferior kind. “Im single instance a shell passed of artillery and explodéd near a large powder mag- azine.

MacMahon Prorogues the Legis- lature for a Month, STATESMANSHIP DISGRACED. A Pandemonium in the Chamber and Senate. RESOLVES OF THE LEFT. °. Appealing to the People in Opposition to the Government A Dreadful. Famine Decimating India, YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, {BY CABLE TO THE HERALD. } Lonpon, May 19, 1877. The HegaLD correspondent in Paris telegraphs that shortly after tive o'clock last evening President j.MucMahon sent ® message to the Chamber of Deputies at Versailles, ordering that the session be prorogued for one month from date. This occas sioned but little surprise. From the moment Jules Simon resigned, the Executive determined upon this step. His idea was to encourage the Right, to which he belongs, while discomuting the Lelt as far as possible. In calling upon the Due de Broglie to torm a Cabiet, however, he practically defiled the conservative republican element, and deprived himself of that strong support in the country which has hitherto been of such immense service to his administration. Indeed, the support- ers of the new Ministry view the situation with anxiety. A SCENE IN THE CHAMUER. The Presidential message was reveived in the Chamber with domonstrations of rage and upfoar. M, de Fourton, the mew Minister of the Interior, ascended the tribune holding the document in his hand, and announced his intention of readitig it, The Lett at once became greatly ex- cited, and shouts and ironical exclama- tions came from all their benches. One of their number! ctted Jout, “To the pillory !" Paul Cassag- bac then yelled out at the top of his voice, “Down with this factious minority.” Quiet being restored during’ the’ period necessary to read the message, Gambetta attempted to address the Chamber, but his volce was drowned by the yells of the Right, the clanging of “the little bell” and the cries of “Down with the Dictator!” M. Grevy, the President of the Chamber, decided that, the message having been Tead, no debate was possible until the House re- assembled. The future must be “awaited with pru- dence, firmness and contidence. The House then adjourned, the members shouting “Vive la Repub- lique !” TUMULT IN THE SENATE. ‘The scenes in the Senate were even more tumul- tuous than iii the Chamber of Deputies. When M. Beranger ascended the tribune the President an- nounced that the govermment wished to address the Senate. An animated discussion ensued as to who should speak. Finally the Duke de Broglie, the new President of the Oouncil of Ministers, communicatea President MacMahon's message. ‘The Marquis de Franciieu aad M. Jules Simon voth tried to speak, but the Duke de Broglie ex- claimed:. “Nobody can speak. The sitting is adjourned.” M, Tolain retorted:—“The President and not the Duke de Brogile has to direct the debates." M, Jules Simon began:—‘I am obliged, to my great regret ——" ‘The Duke de Broglie—“All now spoken 1s illegal.” ‘The President then told M. Jules Simon that Presi- dent MacMahon had exercised his rights, His decree must be obeyed. Simon then left the tribune under protest. M. Bernard shouted—‘‘The country will judge you.” ‘The Senate adjourned amid great uproar. PRESIDENT MACMAHON'S EXPLANATIONS. In his message MacMahon declares that the Cabi- nets of Dufaure and Simon were both chosen with the consent of the majority, according to the con- stitution, and that he had scrupulously deferred to | their judgment, but at the last he had discovered that neither possessed the influence to guaranvee good government. He had often ventured to sug- | gest a line of conduct that would secure this sup- | port, and he felt that events had justified the | course he took. He could go no further in that | direction, however, without making an appeal to | * | station via St. Thomas, passed hore at ten o'clock for | the rfdical factions which desired a compiete mod- Norfolk. R MOVAL OF TH INDIANS. NORTHERN CHEYENNES TO BE STARTED FOR INDIAN TERRITORY AT ONCE—THE PONCAS ON THE WAY. Wasmxeton, May 18, 1877. In response to the information forwarded by the Lieutenant General of a willingness of the ribern Cheyennes to be moved to the Indian Territory, the Andian Office to-day requests the War Dopartment to start them immediately, provided it can be done Withe out any expense other than that required for rations. The Indian Office has no {ands available to pay for their transportation, but it is supposed that the ponies sar- rendered by w Indians the Red Cloud Agency will be restored to them for use as a means of direct transportation overland. MARCH OF THE PoNCcAS. Inspector Kimball reports to the Indian Office bis arrival at Beatrice, Nebraska, with the advance party of Poncas and the agency snpplies and material en route from their old home in Northeastern Nebraska to the new reservation’ in the Indian Territory. The march bas been delayed by cuntinuous rains and heavy rouds, but the Indians are reported to be ‘“satisiled and jn reasonably good spirits,” The remainder of the Poncas will start in a few days, in charge of Ageut Howard, saat A HURRICANE IN NEBRASKA. (BY TELEGRAPH TO THK MERALD, } Nortn Pratrs, Neb., May 18, 1 It blew a regular hurricane from the southeast nere this afternoon.

Continuing tue unusual activity be has manifested since Tuesday last with regard to oficial commu- nications, the Marshal has addressed a lengthy note to the Duc Decazes, which the iatter gave to the foreign correspondents immediately after he had acqnainted himself with its pur- port. “Circumstances,” say# the Executive, “do not permit me to entrust power to the late Cabinet of which you formed a part. I wish it tobe well un- derstood, however, that Tintend to maintain with foreign Powers the relations of friendship and con- fidence which you have been able to establish, Nothing must be done to impair these rela- tions and nothing must be changed m the foreign policy you so ably and worthily represent. T appeal to your patriotism and beg you to remain in the post to which I calied you three years ago #0 long a8 you may not relinquish it without prejucice to the pubiic welfare.” GAMBETTA’S OPPORTUNITY. « * The President's threat of dissoiution has simply placed Gambetta in a position of commanding an- tagonism. In case MacMahon should attempt to carry out this dissolution theory France would probably declare in favor of Gambetta, leav- ing the President open to unfavorable criti- cism. It was in this view of the situation that the bureaux of the Left decided to propose an order of the day, declaring that the Chamber was solicitous for the maintenance of peace abroad and order at home, oul the Cabinet under the Duke de Broglie possessed neither the confidence of the Chamber nor of tlre nation. YUE LEFT APPEALS TO PUBLIC SENTIMENT. And, as an addition to this expression o! opinion, the Left has issued a lengthy manifesto, addressed to the French nation, boldly protesting against the hasty action of the President, and calling him to account for the dictatorial language employed in his.letter to Simon. This address will undoubtedly create much discussion among those who started the crisis, The meeting of the Lett took place in Paris last night. M. Marcere,a former Minister.of the Inte- rior, Was chairman, He said the composition of the new government revealed intentions calculated toinspire the nation with legitimate distrust, be- cause men are returned to power who on the 24th of May, 1873, undertook to restore the monarchy. A STIRRING RESOLUTION. The meeting adopted the following manifesto to the nation: ‘The decree assailing your representatives is the firstact of the Ministry of combat which presumes to hold the will of France in check. The President's message displays a desire to dissolve the Chamber. The Cabinet which had not lost its majority has been dismissed without discussion. The new Min- istry, feeling that if they allowed the Parliament freedom of speech they would immedtately fall from power, have prevented our expressing repro- bation of their proceedings from the tribune; con- sequently our-first thought 1s to turn toward you and say that the men now again assuming power will again prove themselves poweriess. France desires the Republic, She said so on the 20th of February, 1876, and she will say so again when consulted. The nation will once more show that an incorrigible miuority shail not snatch from it the privilege of selt-government. Notwithstand- ing this painful and unexpected trial France will neither aliow herself to be deceived nor intimidated, Public functionaries must remain at their posts until removed by the government. Councillors general and commercial councillors must redouble their zeal and activity on behalf of the rights and Uberties of the nation. 4 Finally we. your delegates, shall agai enter into direct communication with yoa. We summon you to pronounce between the policy of reaction and adventure, placing everything in doubt which has been laboriously achieved during the last ix years, and the wise, firm and pacitic policy which you yourselves sanctioned. Dear fellow citizens, this trial will not last long. In five months at the latest France will be able to Speak ow. We are sure the Republic will issue from the voting urns stronger thanever. Bygone parties Will be vanquished and France be able to view the future with confidence and serenity. THE KIGHT DEMANDS PATRONAGE. Ata meeting of the extreme Right of the Senate yesterday alternoon it was determined to demand trom the government the offices of the prefectoral stad, which is their first appeal for government patronage. They resolved to maintain what they describe as an “expectant attitude.” IS IV PERSONAL GOVERNMENT? ‘The Paris newspapers have taken up the subject of the coup a’éiat with considerable paxsion. The Journal dés Debats yesterday said:-—-“We might vainly search the parliamentary history af our country for an eXample so brusque, unfores | seen, #0 little In conformity with established usages | and the principles of a parliamentary régime. In | reading the Marshal's letter to Simon we are ci | ary til this morning, and ¥, Buffet haa not beon | whieh alone can secure order and prosperity,” strained to ask ourselves if we are reuily jiving un- der institutions Whose mechanism is controlled by regular rules, or if we are not after all at the mercy of persona! government.” THE COUNTRY SUPREME. The Republique Francaise discovers in the dis- | missal of the Ministry “an evidence of the extst- ence of that Cabinet ocoulte™ (secret Cabinet) which | it has so often charged before. “The country, how- ever, is sure of its strgugth, and, firm of wi it can afford to awatt with serenity the end of this palace | revolution ; moreover, the vountry will have the | A OLERICAL COUP DE PALAIS. ‘The Siecle declares the country will never believe the reasons assigned for the dismussal of Simon and his colleagues. “It will comprehend that a c'erleal coalition, defeated in the Chamber, tin- potent in the Senate, detested by the country, has suceceded by a coup de paiais in surprising the Marshal's good faith.’ DEPINING PRESIDENTIAL RESPONSIBILITY. The Gazetle de France says the last pa wragraph of | the Marshal's letter is a complete political pro- gramme. For the first time the President has in- | voked his responsibility toward Jrance, fixed tis nature and defined its obligations. The country is evidently entering upon a new phase of existence. THE MINISTRY GAZEPTED. The new Ministry is gazetted to-day, The only , change from the HEKALD’s list yesterday being with reference to the Department of the Marine, which Mr. Berthant will provisionally administer in con. nection with the War Department, BETERMINATION OF THE REPUDLICANS. Reuter’s Poris telegram says tue republican papers continue to express tne groatest indignation against the new Ministry, declaring that the party will neither recoil from dissolution nor from external compiica- tions. The denunciation of the illegality and fatal President MacMahon’< is A general dismissal of repablican consequences of setion equally strong, functionarios and strong measures against the radical press are expected immediately. MERTING OF SENATORS. There was a meeting of a hundred Senators of the Left at Paris to-night, M. Jules Simon, who was Present, said he had wished to declare from the tribune that if it were intended to stifle disenssion words should not be used woleh challenged a protest.

The Senators of the Left, theretore, express their firm conviction that the Senate will not associate itself with apy underiaking | against republican institutions, and they deciare they will energetically resist the policy which threatens tne | public peace.” THE COMING DIRSOLU TION This vigorous protest and the manifesto of the Depaties are producing a great impression. A new prorogation ig expected and a dissolution three months after. ANOTHER VIEW OF MACMAHON’S PoLicy. A communiqué to the Paris papers suys the Presi- dent’s policy may be surnamed up ag a, maintenance of the public order at home anda scrupulous preserva tion of the peace abroad. Tue Marshal counts on tho | prudence of all “gogd citizens to second hin in this task. ENGLISH PRESS COMMENTS, The Standard’s Versailles special says the scene in the Chamber when de M. Fourtou appeared in the tri- bune to read the message is indescribable, The Right applauded and the Left hooted and yelled, Exclama- tions of feurtul rage and insult were exchanged for ten minutes. Some members were actually scufling with one auother, As yot there is no excitement in the quarters ot the working classes, but large patrols of infantry scour the outer boulevards from sunset to suoris Friday even- ing there was great excitement on the boulovards, | Hage crowds kept surging to and fro, discussing the | evouts of the day, Gambetta, speaking at @ mecting of the Left at Versailles alter the sitting, said:—‘We shall all be united before universal suffrage, Romember tho Poliguac Ministry of 1830 Limited suffrage returned the same Chamber as the Ministry dissolved. We must hurry on to the dissolution. ? A loading article in the Zimes, commenting on the situation in France, says:—In the end the Left may even strougthen the Republic, 1 they display a com. mand of temper and respect for the law. A single riot in the street might do irreparable mischief, by giving @ pretext for a display of military vigor.’? A correspondent in Paris writing for the Times on Thursday says:—-The excitement was quieted on Wednesday night by a report that the project of form- ing a Broglie Cabinet was abandoned. This morning President MacMahon’s immediate tollowers affected to regard tho meeting of the Loft Iast might at the Graud Hotel os a challenge to the Mar shal, Conclliatory ideas were again abandoned, The Duke de Broglie held a crowded recep'iov, at which he declared the abuse which had been attompted of tho Marshal’s nam by republican Cabinets could continue no longer. M. de’Fourton was in the coun- | seen at the Elysée, so, though everybody 18 convinced that the Marshal did not write the letter to M. Simon, nO one yet acknowledges {ts authorship, so well bas the importauce and danger of the act been understood. The Duke Decazes received all the Am- bassadors, yesterday. He found among them a most un- favorable impression, Not one approved what had passed, although some, perhaps, professed little sym- pathy for the republican system. On all hands it was folt certain that the public opinion of Europe would be painfully struck. GERMAN PRESS OPINIONS, The article in the Strasbourg Oficial Gasette, which hag attracted so much attention, contains the follow- ing:—*“'The turn affairs are taking in France is calculated t6 inspire Germany ana her close friend Italy with the most serious reflections A victory of the ultramontanists in France oce curring simultaneously with an uliramontane victory im the Ttallan Senate is fraught with the gravest consequences, Germany can- not remain indifferent... lt {8 incumbent on her to display tho greatest watchfuiness, A victory of the Roman Cure opens the prospect of 4 war of revenge, and it is oply through an alliance with Byanee that the Cura can find w possibility of | wageing war against German and Italy, 4 Dresden press telegram 8a; the Ger- man papers almost unavimously consider | Jules Simon's overthrow) = as- an ultra montaine victory, ‘They ‘think if Marshal Mac Mahon complies with the pretensions of the Clericais the peace of Europe would ve seriously Ubreatened.

The appropriation is fixed at $270,000, which will be all that is needed to pay the January and July cou- pons for the present year on the consolidated State debt. The measure was carried by the union of the liberal democratic element in the House with the re- publican tninority, and so strong was Governor Hamp- ton’s influence that the repudlationists, who a week ago were confident of @ majority, could barcly muster at tho last twenty-five votes.
