General Chanzy appears to be rising rapidly in the estimation

of the Assembly. He has been elected leader of the Left Centre and has made a speech in which he announces that, although Monarchist at Bordeaux, he has resolved to adhere to the conger-

It is believed that this party will rapidly attract a majority, especially as it is reinforced at every election ; and as it will ultimately have a chief in Gambetta, who is far more moderate than people believe, and a soldier in Chanzy, it may yet guide the destinies of the country.
