~~ THE FRENCH PROBLEM. MacMahon’s Reactionary Cabinet Still Hoping Against Hope. PROLONGING THE CRISIS. The Chambet To Be Prorogued with a View to Gain Time. BISMARCKS ON A SMALL SCALE. ——_-—— Unwilling to Yield, Feeble to Resist. Too RESORTING TO HALF MEASURES. [BY CABLE TO THR HERALD. J Panis, Nov. 3—Midnight. T have just had an interview with a gen- Hlemen who is a personal and political friend of the Duke de Broglie, and who, a short time previous, had had a conversation with that Minister. The gentleman im- parts the following information on the latest programme which the Cabinet ‘as decided to adopt for the solution of the political crisis:— ? THE CHAMBER TO BE PROROGUED. : After deci@ing on resignation, as cabled yesterday to the Henatp, the Ministers, in Accordance with the wish of the Marshal- President, have once more made up their minds to méet the Chamber of Deputies on the 7th inst. Recognizing the uselessness of trying to come to an understanding with the hostile majority of that body, and being at tho same time determined to persevere jm the policy which has been pursued by /Pae conservative coalition since the 16th f May, the Ministers will simply aunounce he prorogation of the Chambers for fifteen ays. CAN IT BE VENTURED ON? The Duke de Broglie expresses his con- iction that this measure will be accepted for the: reason that almost all the Deputies and Senators have business to attend to in the rovinces at this period of the year. He does not appear to think that the strong {political feeling which has been aroused by ithe present political conflict will interfere ‘with the desire to be at home at this season, or that the wish of the republican majority to force on a solution of the crisis at once ‘will outweigh personal or family considera- tions and prevent them from submitting {tamely to a prorogation. In any event, the ‘Duke thinks the prorogation can be suc- essfully carried through. A LEAF £ROM BISMARCR’S BOOK. During the fifteen days of the prorogation ® vigorous conservative campaign will be carried on, The Figaro, which is a thick and thin supporter of the Ministry, has already commenced this campaign, and in- dicated the manner in which it will be prosecuted and the line of argument that will be adopted. An effort will be made to show that a parallel exists between the state of parties in France at the present day and that which existed in Prussia during the four years from 1862 to 1866, and that a policy similar to that adopted by the Prus- sian government will be equally successful in solving the French difficulty. A QUEER PARALLEL, The Figaro points out that during the four years in question Prussia was governed by Bismarck, with the aid of the Chamber of Peers, against the popular Chamber, which repeatedly refused to vote the budget, and endeavored to block the wheels of the machine of state by every means in its power, Prussia, argues the Figaro, got along 'tolerably well during that period, carried on her government, paid her way and organized the armies which afterward conquered at Sadowa and Sedan. WHERE THERE IS NO PARALLEL, ‘The argument of the Figaro is based on the supposition that the conditions are alike in both cases. It does not take any account of the difference in social standing and in- fluence between the Prussian Peers and the French Senators, nor of the fact that the former were backed by the prestige of an old established monarchy, while the power of the Marshal is a thiug of yesterday. The absence of the great genius and stubborn tenacity of purpose of the great German Chancellor seems to count for nothing in the calculations of the Figaro, and the quick temper of the French people as compared with the patient endurance of the Teutonic race scems to be entirely lost sight of, A POLICY OF RESISTANCE, Tt will be seen from the above that the Ministry has determined in favor of a policy of resistance. Above all his colleagues, the Duke de Broglie wishes to push matters to a second prorogation, so that he may have time to know if a second dissolution would be likely to lead to a conservative majority in the next election, Of course the same pressure and use of government patronage on the electors would be continued in the hope of eventually breaking down the re- pedlican majority. HOW THE SENATE WILL BE SECURED, M. de Broglie hopes, my informant says, NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1877—QUINTUPLE SHEET: that the Senate will not cease to support the Marshal's policy, for the reason that every- thing, he tluks, leads to tho belief that the first thing the Chamber will commence to agitate for—being sure of a majority in the joint Congress of both houses which is to revise the constitution—will be the abolition of the Senate. Of course this revision of the constitution has been set down for 1880, but the idea is that the republicans will en- deavor to force it on immediately. A TRANSITION CABINET. It is pretty certain that the report that M. Pouyer-Quertier, a moderate conservative, has been charged by the Marshal with the task of forming a Ministry of the Right is true, This Ministry would only come into office im*the event of the present Cabi- net being eveptually forced to retire, CONCLIIALORY STEP. Writing on the above statement the Soliel (an Orleanist organ) states that M. Pouyer- Quertier has been invited by the President to form a Cabinet of the Right, in which M. Pouyer-Quertier is to be President of the Council and Minister of Finance. The Soliel says:— ‘This is a conciliatory step for the Marshal.” 4 PATH BESET WITH THORNS. In well informed circles it is not consid- ered probable that M. Pouyer-Quertier can succeed, The latest news is that he meets unexpected difficulties and makes no prog- ress in forming a new Cabinet. ~ NO TEMPORIZING SOLUTION ACCEPTABLE, The République Frangaise says:—‘‘It is im- possible for President MaeMahon to accept & Ministiy acceptable to the recently elected representatives of the people, because such a Ministry must act in the teeth of the President's policy of the past four years. A great issue has been raised, A temporiz- ing solution will not do.” NO COMPROMISE POSSIBLE, Ata meeting of the Senators of the Left M. Calmou sharply criticised the acts of the government, and admitted that no com- promise was possible. SEEKING A COMPROMISE, The following semi-official note has been sent to the provincial papers:—“It appears to have been decided at the last Cabinet Council that the prosent Cabinet will re- main in office till November 5. After the elections to the Councils General the gov- ernment will find itself in the presence of two extreme policies—one of resistance to the Chamber of Deputies with the support of the Senate, the other of complete conces- sion, bringing into office a Ministry com- posed exclusively of the Left. The present disposition of the Marshal does not admit of the latter policy. However, the Presi- dent is willing to seoif it bo not possible to arrive at some kind of transaction by which the Left of the Chamber of Deputies and the Right Centre of the Senate may be represented in the Cabinet, thereby estab- lishing harmony between the two houses.” GENERAL EUROPEAN NEWS.
