Show Still cornea stirring news from Versailles. Ver-sailles. The action of the assembly upon Saturday night in rejecting the petitions for dissolution must counteract counter-act the advantage which the president was supposed to have gained by his prompt chango of cabinet to conciliate the committee of thirty. Dcspiu the disdainful and ironical allusion to Gam-betta Gam-betta in the speech of Dufaure there is unmistakable evidence that Gambetta 13 a power among the people and that the assembly is not a representative of the popular mind. Expedients and tactics oo the part of Thiers but postpone post-pone the catastrophe. Tho assembly or tho republic must go to the wall. Were tho president a Cromwell he might prorogue the assembly and throw himself upon tho people, but Thiers is too timorous to attempt such a step. Vo see no way out of tho present dead lock except by the election of an assembly fresh from the people and representing their, wishes. Then whether the vote will cause the return of Napoleon or tho continuance of tho republio there will be a fair prospect for a settled government. |
