Paris, November 3Q.~Iu the National Assembly, this afternoon, before the miaotes of the previous sitting were rati? fied, M; Baragho, a Conservative deputy, protested against the vote of yesterday oh the'resolution of MiniBtor Dnfaurs being recorded, because several of the deputies were absent, and he did not be? lieve the result was a fair expression of the will of the Assembly. M. Batbil said ho considered that the vote elo? quently demonstrated on which side Conservative policy could bo found. This remark gave riso to groat excite? ment in the chamber. Many deputies protested againBt the language of M. Batbil, aud recriminations passod back? ward and forward between the opposing - parties. A deputy from PariB ques? tioned the Government iu relation to encouragiug addresses which had boon sent to Thiers by muuicipal councils during the present controversy. He accused the Government of conniving at and inciting them. M. Lefrano, Minis? ter of the Interior, warmly defended the notion of the Government in receiving the addresses, and announced that, he accepted for himself the prinoiplo of ministerial responsibility. [The agita ? tion in the chamber here bsoame very great.] SI. Suva! made a violent attack upon the Government; henceforth, ho said, neither the OrleahiBts, Bonapartists i or Legitimists will exist, but all. parties . will unite to arrest the fatal descent of the country. . He continued at length in .? a violent strain, and concluded by mov? ing a resolution declaring that the muni? cipal council had violated the laws of the , country, und that Lefranb, iu receiving - the-addresses for the President, had also failed to observe them. Amid much ex? citement, the Assembly, .proceeded to vote'on the matter, and it was approved, by a Vote of . 35 yeas againBt 299 nays. The result caused a great sensation in the chamber, aud the sitting wa3 imme? diately brought to a close. Throughout the entire debate, party feeling was in flamed to the highest pitchy Tho gloom? iest impressions prevail this evening in A Paris. ? It .ia believed i that it will be im? possible for President' Thiers to govern : the country under present oirou instances. The monarchists declare that they will oppose Thiers to the bitter, end, unless I he disavows- all responsibility for the : course of Gambetta. I P. SI.?

Boocher, in a sermon, attributed Grecloy's death to* a broken heart. The World olaims that the Greeley electoral votes should be cast blank. Tho canal at Oswcgo is closod with ice. AU the reports but Bout well's havo been published prematurely. Washington, Dccombor 2.-? Both ? Houses organized, with Colfax aud Blaine in tho chairs. Sumner intro? duced a bill striking from the United States flags and army registor all mention of battles with fellow-oitizenB; also, at? tempted to call np oivil rights, but was stopped by tbo rules. Tho choplnius mentioned Greoley in- their prayers. Tho House refused to accept Banks' resignation from the Chairmanship of tho Foroign Committee. Pending a resolution regarding the Credit Mobilier, Blaino called S. S. Cox to tho chair, and the resolution as now before tho House is, that tho temporary chairman, S. S. Cox, Democrat, announce tho commit too. Both Houses recessed to half-past 1, when the messago will bo road. After a short recess, the President's message was, at 1.'10, received and road. It oommenoes with a recognition of the blessings whioh tho Amoricnn peoplo have enjoyod within the past year, tho only exception being tho great fire in Boston. It rofers to tho Geneva arbitra? tion and its satiafaotory results, whioh loft tho two Govornmonts of America aud England without a shadow on their friendly relations, which it ia sincerely hoped .may lor aver. joewain ..eo^ajiy nn^ oloaded. it roooramonds the immediate creation of a board of commissioners to decide on the amounts to be paid to claimants. K .compliments Mr. Adams ancTMr. Banoroft for their eminent aer rices in the matter of the Geneva and the San Juan arbitrations; the decision in the latter case leaving the United States, for the first time, without any question as to disputed boundaries. In regard to the fisheries and to our i relations with the British North Ameri ! aan provinces, the President says that he has received notice that the Imperial Parliament and the Dominion Govern ment had passed laws to carry the pro? visions of the treaty of Washington into operation, and he therefore recommends legislation by Congress in tho same direction. Bfe speaks of the friendly re? lations of tho United States with all the governments of Europe. He refers to ?the Vienna . international exposition, recommends . the fitting up of two na tional vessels to convey the goods of ex? hibitors to Trieste, and suggests that a proposition be made to have the next great exposition in this country, in 1876, at the time of tho centennial celebration in Philadelphia. He refers to the dis? turbed condition of Cuba, and Buys that no advance towards pacification iu that islaud has been made, while the insur? rection.! bed gained a no -. advantages and exhibited no more of tho elements of power, or prospective success than a year ago, neither had Spain suoceeded in re? pressing the insurrection. The parties to the*strife were standing in the same atiitudo as for a long time past. -The continuation of: slavery in that island he regards as among the strongest oatises of the continuance of the strife;'and he thinks that the aboltlon of slavery and the institution .of other 'reforms there, could not fail to advance the restoration i of peaoe and order. It was greatly to he hoped that tbe present liberal Goverrr? ment of Spain will voluntarily adopt that view. Referring to our relations with China and Japan, the .f resideut rccommeuds provisions for maiutaining four Ameri? can youths in each of those countries, as part of the diplomatic- family of minis? ters! He gives details of the revenue received iu the past year, and of the re? duction to the amount of over $100, 000,000 of the. public debt. He ex? presses a doubt whether any further redaction in taxation is practicable for the present, nud ho reoommeuds that no more legislation bo had on that subject, except to oorreot errors of omission or commission iu tho present laws, until sufficient time shall have elapsed to prove that it can be done, and still leave sufficient revenne to meet current ex? penses, pay interest on the public debt, und provide for the sinking fund. He suggests, ulso, that the ourrency shall be, as soon as possible, brought to a par with gold. He says that various enterprises will be brought to the attention of Congress for the cheapening of transportation of produce from the West to the Atlantic Beacoaat, and suggests that steps should be taken to gain all available informa? tion to insure equitable and judicious legislation. In this conneotiou, he re? fers favorably to tbo proposed route to connect tbe Mississippi Valley with the Atlantio at Charleston and Savaunah, by way of the Ohio and Tennessee Bivers; also, to the proposed extension of the Kanuwha and James Biver Canal and the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, and to the proposed canal around Niagara Falls. He says that there should be an almost continuous system of land-locked navigation from Maine to tho Gulf of Mexico.?nature having provided greater part of - the- route, and tho obstacles to be overcome being within tho skill tof engineers..- Me oalis uttention to the weakness of the American navy, and en? dorses the recommendation of tho Secre? tary of tbe Navy iu that respect. He re? commends subsidies for steamship lines to Brazil and between San Francisco, New Zealand and Australia. Also, in? crease of tho salaries of heads of bu? reaus. He favor's the abolition of the franking privilege, and recommends a modifica? tion of its existing evils. He also recom? mends the adoption by Congress of the best method of acquiring title to all tele? graphic lines now in operation, and oon uocting that service with the postal ser? vice. It is not probable that the subject can receive proper consideration at this session, but he thinks tho movement might be iuitiated, so that fnturo action may be had, fair to the Government and tbo private parties nonoerned. Ho calls attention to tho ularming falling off in the American carrying trade, nod says that a yearly expenditure of $5,000,000 for tho next five years to restore that trade, would bo a profitable investment. Referring to the Ku Klux outrages, the President expresses his conviction that tho time is not far distant when tho ob-, vious advantages of good order and peaco will induce an abandonment of all such combinations, and when it will bo unnecessary to carry on prosecutions or to inflict punishment in ordor to protect oitizous from tho lawless doings of such combinations. He makes suggestions in regard to the Indians, that they shall nil bo confined to the territory South of Kansas, and that farms be secured to them in fee aud in severalty. Ho recommends that a farthor census bo taken in 1875, but that no ro appor tionmont of members of Congress bo mado under it. In only one of the Ter? ritories (Utah) is tho oondition of affairs regarded by the President as unsatisfac? tory. It had scorned to bo tho polioy of tho Utah Legislature to evade all respon? sibility to tho Government of tho United States, and even to hold a position hos? tile to it. He recommends a careful re? vision of tho present laws, aud tho ou aotmont of laws that will secure pence, the equality of all citizens beforo tho law, and tho ultimato extinguishment of polygamy. He recommends an appro? priation to reimburse the city of Wash iogton for work done in front of the public reservations, and for the embel? lishment or the'' publ!? buildings and grouoda. Ho favora :aqtiqn Jip ...^ivo greater eclat and aucoeSs to tbo otTRerv anoe of the ' centennial- anniversary of Amorican indepondonee, In regard to oivil service, he says ho will carry oqt the r dl es daring hie t er or of office, bat suggests that there shoald be direct ac? tion of Congress to make the, system binding on his successors, so 'as to so ouro to the publio service a practical method of obtaining faithful and effi oieu' officers and employees. The read? ing if the message was completed at 2.5( having occupied one hour and ten .minutes. The Treasury report says that neces? sity exists for a new issue of national bank notes. Tho Secretary exonerates Assistant Treasurer Hilhouse from ne gleot of duty in tho stamp division of the Assistant Treasurer of New York. The Secretary again recommends the passage of a bill to amend aud consoli? date the navigation and customs collect? ing laws of the United States. As the leading pursuits of the country aro now stronger than ever before, in the posses (ion of adequate capital and a supply of intelligent laborers, there may be a mo? derate reduction, from time to time, in the rnto of duties, as the diminishing expensed of Qovernment shall permit, without either alarming capital or in? juring labor. -He says tho oirculatiou of the banks should be fixed and limited, and that the power tochango the volume of papor in circulation within the limit* established by law should remain iu the Treasury Department. A degree of flexi? bility in the volume of currency is'essen? tial for two reasons?first, the business of the department cannot be transacted properly if o limit is fixed, and the power to raise the circulation above or reduce it below that, limit ia denied; se? condly, there is a necessity, every au? tumn, for moving the crops without de la}' from the South and West to tho sea board, that they may bo on hand for export and consumption ns wanted. The problem is to find a way of in? creasing tho currency for moving the crops, nod diminishing it at onco when that work is done. This ic a accessary work, and inasmuch as it cannot be con? fided to the banks, the power should bo reposed in the Treasury Department. Believing that the couutry is not pro pared to sustain the policy of contrac? tion, the Secretary considers tha means by wbioh tho valuo of onr curreucy may bo improved. The basis of a policy of improvement must bo found in a sturdy refusal to add to the paper circulation, until it is of tho same valuo essentially as coin. This being accepted as the set? tled purpose of tho country, there can be no permanent increase of the differ? ence between paper and com; and an op? portunity will be given for the influence of nat ral ouuses, tending, upon tho whole, to a better financial condition. All legislation limited iu its operation to the paper issues of the Government, whether bearing- interest or not, and which iu its effects shall tend to diminish the market value of ooin, will -be fouud, upon analysis, to contain a plan tor con? tracting the volume of paper currency; and all legislation so limited, .which does not contain such a plan, will prove in? effectual. Tho Secretary, without pro? ceeding to the discussion of the generul subject of resuming specie payments^ thinks all will have been gained that is of valuo when tho Treasury shall be pre? pared to pay the demand notes of the Government iu com, und tho banks shall be prepared to pay their notes either in coin or legal tender notes; and then our good fortune will clearly ap? pear in this, that our paper currency is not exclusively of natioual bank notes, nor exolosively of United States notes.

Such an event ?was unprovided for by the ac? tion of the Oonvention; The succeed? ing Oonvention will, Without doubt, make provision for a similar contingen? cy, and as no practical result can follow the establishment of a precedent by this committee, it is deemed uuadvisable that this committee should make any recom? mendation to the eleotors. Washington, December 2?Evening. Iu tbe House, after organization, Mr. Dawes said that belioviug all will concur in the propriety of a public recognition of events so impressive, and so without a parallel in tbo history of this Govern? ment, that have recently transpired, he deemed it proper to offer a resolution calling for an adjournment of Congress in respect to tho momory of Hon.
