The Thirty tyrants are, as we expected, becoming reasonable . On

Friday last their two sub-committees agreed that two Chambers were necessary, that M. Thiers should suggest a plan for those two Chambers, and that M. Thiers must be compensated for his exclusion from the Tribune not only by a single suspensory veto, but by a second veto whenever the law proposed affects any of his prerogatives. The compensation is not sufficient, but on Thursday thewhole Thirty agreed to a discussion with M. Thiers, and agreed also that they would wait on him in Paris instead of his waiting on them in Versailles, a bit of etiquette pregnant with meaning. They are going to take their orders.
