Inthe Fronch Chamber of Deputies yesterday the Duke de Broglie, President of the Council and Minis- ler of Justice, opened the devate on Albert Grévy’s Motion for the appointment of a committee to inquire Into election abuses, He mudo a long speech in which he plainly intimuted that President MacMahon would Dot take a Ministry from the Left, nor would the gov- roment submit to the proposed electoral inquiry. THE UNCERTAIN FUTURE. He said when tho present government had fulfilled Mts task of answering the attacks of the Left, the Marshal would seo what was incumbent upon him. It he could be assured that a Ministry containing MM, Blanc and Ronault (extreme radical and conservativo Fepublican respectively) would agree upon a pro- gramme, the path of parliamentary procedure would Deopen. If not, it would bo necessary to seck some other solution. A SIGNIFICANT WARNING, The Duke de Broglie declared that the government ‘Were ready to accept even penal responsibility for their acts and meet the proposed impeachment, but Warnedthe new Committee of Public Safety that neither the present, Cabinet nor its successors, if ‘they bad any regard for public peace, would eounte- bance the proposed onesided inquiry. CHARGES AGAINST THE LEFT. He accused the Lelt of intimidation and fraud during tho elections, and especially accused them of spreading tho assertion that a conservative victory meant war, He provoked ® protest from Gambetta by insinuating that he caused the ingertion of this calumny im German and other foreign papers, The Duke de Broglie warned those who, in Wednesday’s debate, appeared to appeal to in- Surrection that it would be suppressed, and that, even Af successful, its success might be transient. The Duko de Broglio was loudly applauded by the Righy GAMBETTA’S REPLY, M. Gambetta characterized the Duke de Broglie’s Spocch as ablo, but perfidious. He said it formed the best argument for tno inquiry, as it showed stub- bornnoss and resistance to the will of the country. The insinuation that the Left gained o majority by misrepresentation wasa lic. The government, guilty of malversation, had gained forty seats by fraud and robbery, He denied that inquiry was illegal. Ho professed a desire to uphold the authority of both chambers, NOT AN ENEMY OF MACWAMON. He was not an antagonist of Marshal’MacMabon, The present Ministers were insurgents against law. Ho finally declared that it would be a serious mwattor to place the Senate above universal suffrage, It the Senate arrogated the right of decreeing a second dissolution it would be a veritable reactionary con- vention, THK MOTION POR INQUIRY CARRIED, After much violent porsonality a vote was taken. ‘M. Grévy’s motion was adopted by $20 against 203 The Chamber decided to appoint the mombors of the committee of inquiry to-day.
