NEWS OF THE WEEK.
TIRE number of signatures to the resolution introduced by the Tiers Parti into the Corps Legislatif, demanding Ministerial responsibility, is already 125, and the 30 members of the Left who have not signed will support it. This is a majority against the Emperor, who, according to Le Peuple, his own paper, is willing to accept a compromise. M. Rouher also stated in the Chamber, on Thursday, that the crisis affected more than indi- viduals ; that "it affected the future of society, and that although he did not know when, or with what men, an agreement would be secured, he knew on what vital forces the Chamber would rely to preserve society." M. Rouher, it is said, and we can believe, objects to have his head thrown out to the people as a peace offering ; but even he only counsels delay in granting larger liberties. The effort of the Emperor is evidently to discover con- cessions which will satisfy the Opposition, yet not amount to indi- vidual responsibility.
