The French Assembly decided on Tuesday, by a majority of
forty-two, that it would not dissolve. The term of the proroga- tion is not yet fixed, bui it is believed that the Assembly will resume its sittings on the 28th of November, will endeavour to pass constitutional laws, will fail, and will dissolve. It is stated that the Legitimists intend to use their last chance with vigour, but nobody believes they can act until they have over- come the resolution of their King not topart with his White Flag, —and their efforts are sure to break upon this rock. iror the present, therefore, France is placed under the personal govern- ment of Marshal MacMahon, who pledges himself to put down all Pretenders, the Republic included, and to wait quietly until the Chamber reassembles, when he professes to hope the Deputies will be more united in temper. If so, the union will be due to the bath of electoral opinion which the Deputies are about to take, but it is more probable that in December the discord will be greater than ever. Three months, is, however, a very long time in France.
