NEWS OF THE WEEK.
_TIIE De Broglie Ministry has been restored to power. After three days of intermission, marked, it is said, by severe in- ternal struggles among the politicians, the Extreme Right offered to recede if the Marshal would not reassert that his term of power was intended to preclude all other forms of government The Mar- shal made the concession, and the restored Ministry on Monday asked for a vote of confidence from the House. It was granted -first in secret ballot- by 355 to 316, and secondly in open voting by S79 to 321. The debate on the Bill allowing Government to nominate the Mayors was, therefore, resumed, and promises -to be a long one, but it is belibved that it will end in a -victory for Government, though the "Left Centre group," a fraction of the old Left Centre, have abandoned them, and members of the Right openly declare that they do not want a deputy sous-prget in every parish. M. de Broglie has also urged .on the Committee of Thirty, begging them to give him a Second Chamber nominated by Government and the Councils.General, and to restrict the suffrage by confining it to men over 25, resi- dent' for three years in the same houses. This will strike off 1,000,000 of voters, who mist thenceforward be Bonapartists, mad will, as we have tried elsewhere to show, make the electorate more resolutely Republican than before.
