Show The Ministerial Trouble In truuee. Versailles, 17. Gambetta, in the ohamber of deputies, to-day, said no vote bad placed the ministry in the minority. There was no conflict in parliament, and while patriotically neutral the nation suddenly learned that the president had demanded the resignations of the premiere. The nation, iu its anxiety, asked whether there does not exist at the side of the head of the state a preponderiog in-flueuco in-flueuco with which no ministry could cope. The chambar only asked what President MacMahon to-day promised, prom-ised, namely, a pacific policy and depression of ultramontane intrigue. Gambetta cited a saying of Marshal MacMahon made in the presence of tho vile intriguers and fomenters of disorder who are to day raising their heads, "Do not attempt tbia adventure; adven-ture; the chassepots would go off of themselves." Gambetta added : "It is time to turn to constitutional truth. It is not true, as suggested by welt known councillors, that the president ot the republic bears responsibility over and above tua. of the ministry. The authors of such a suggestion are the president's real enemies. They are leading him to ruin. Marshal MacVlfthon, during hi3 military career, canuot have Btudied political truth. The chamber must recall him to an exact observance of the constitution, and divert him from perfidious counsel. The country alone is sovereign. Let it be stated whether tho intention is to govern with republicans re-publicans posseeeiog the confidence of the country or with men whose unpopularity un-popularity has beeu demonstrated. If dissolution happen the majority has no fear, but the country may see in it the prelule to war. Criminal are those who would provoke that. ' (Immense (Im-mense cheering and excitement in the house.) The new cabinet is constituted as follows: Due da Broglie, president of the council and minister of justice; De Fourteu, minister of tho interior; Eugene Caillaux, minister of finance; Muguste, Paris minister of pubiic works; Viscount de Menx, miuister of agriculture ; Brunei, minister of publio instruction The resignations of Barthout and Due de Cazes as minister of war and foreign affairs, respectively, have not been accepted. Provisional arrangements will he made relalive to the ministry of marine. ma-rine. Fourteu is suspected of strong Bonaparlist tendencies, and is also credited with Uleut for managing elections in tho imperial style. At a meeting of the right a resolution resolu-tion was passed declaring lhat President Presi-dent MacMahon only exorcised bis constitutional rights. Newspapers of the right declare that the left's attitude atti-tude at yesterday's meeting confirmed President MacMahon in the resolution he has taken. The following is given as the concluding con-cluding portion of Gambetta'a speech: If the evil advisers of the marshal were resolved to bring about dissolution, dissolu-tion, all be had to say was dissolution would be the preface to war, both at home and abroad. Eager crowds surrounded Paris and Versailles railway stations yesterday. Around the chamber the crowd was so great that soldiers had to be posted to keep the approaches clear. Paris, 17.
