Pr^ideut Thiers ana bis advisers had confidently oxpeoted that the'vote oo the subject as a test question would result in the defeat of the Bight, and when the announcement was made that the order of the day pro? posed by the party of the lieft had been defeated by a vote of 862 against 318 in its favor, his Excellonoy immediately prepared his resignation, which wns rendered to and accepted by the Assem? bly, last evening. The Ministers com? posing the Cabinet of M. Thiers have also resigned their port-folios of office. The Presidency of the ropublio has been accepted by Marshal MaoMahon, who ?will at onae proceed to form a new Cabi? net. The subjeot of the composition of the Cabinet is being actively canvassed in political circles, and many surmises are indulged as to the members; YsnsarxiLBS, May 25.?The Ministry has resigned.

May 24?Eveniug. ?The resig? nation of President Thiers and the elec? tion of Marshal 'MaoMahon to succeed him, causes immense excitement hero. The at reels have .'been crowded all even? ing with people, discussing the event of the day, but no disturbance is expected.

Paris, May 26.?The following is the text of MacMahon's addreac: "I have been called, through the confidence of tho National Assembly, to the Presidency j of the republic No immediate change will be made in existing laws, regulations and institutions. ? I rely upon material order, and I count qpon you, upon your vigilanoe, and upon your patriotic assist? ance." Tbesoenes were extremely ex oiiingfia the National'Assembly cham? ber, .pending the discussion which re? sulted in the deposition of Thiers, and the exaltation of Marshal MaoMahon. In the President's box- were Madame Thiers, the Prefeot of the Department of the Seine, and others, who were ges? ticulating quite wildly, and once the Prefect Was called to order for the ardor of his enthusiasm. Tbo diplomatic oorpa was ,well represented. Lord Ly? ons, . the British Minister, was not present, being engaged in giving a din? ner and reception in honor of Queen Victoria's birth day. Many celebrated women.of Napoleon's court, as well as of:the republic, occupied conspicuous plaoes and remained until the political chango was consummated. As soon as the vote was taken, deposing, the Thiers representatives, the different consuls im? mediately left the chamber and tele? graphed: the news to*their respective Governments. Thiers sat a close watcher of events, and constantly using the'ex? clamation : "Eh bien, Messieurs!" Once he caused immense excitement, when he said: "Ttiey have spoken of negotiations, -when, it has occurred-to me they only wanted the government to be transferred to Paris; but an army would not enter there,. I have repelled thorn in order to prevent; the shedding of streams, of blood, at the expense of the army. If there is a man who oounta the oust of this effusion of blood, it is myself. I have fallen?I rather wish to say, trs have fallen. For a/Jong tirne I had hopes of this dotestablo faction?" The close, of the sentence was lost in the midst of the tremendous nproar whioh the begin? ning had excited. Again did Thiers awake the enthusiasm of his friends, when charged wHb being the protege of radicalism, ho . retorted: "There was, something more remarkable than that in their midst; ttrey had with them the Dako dojBroglio, who was the protege of the empire." No fear of a disturb? ance is apparent in Paris?the people on Sunday, attended in great numbers the Ohantijly races, giving, themselves np to pleasures and oaring little, seemingly, for politics.

The Court of Claims rendored the following judgments for ootton seized by General Sherman's foroes, at the time of tho capture of Savannah and sold by the United States: Iu favor of William Bat? ter sby, $7,014; in favor of Wm.

Metealf, $485,242? the latter being tue largest single judg <ntirt ?ftMeodered - by the Gourt ol Claims.,x 13,?tLersby. is -an-alien anl j "ot of Great Britain; whd hah re-daedTor thirty years in SavauDah. The other parties citizen? of Georgia. The cotton claim of Wm. S. Miller, auotber_ British sub? ject, was dismissed, on the ground that tho ootton for whioh he sued wa? pur? chased by him outside of the Union Hues, and in violation of the regulation? theo in force. Judgment wa^ rendered for $155,554 in favor of T/harles Greed, of Savannah, also a subject of Great Britain. The main question in this case was whether an alien, domiciled daring the rebellion within, the insurrectionary States, oould be guilty of the crime of treason against tbo United States. The Court of Claims, following a decision of the Uuited States Supreme Court, last term, decides this question affirmatively; bat also holds, under the same decision, that aliens guilty of treason by failing to observe their obligations of qualified allegiance, were included in and par? doned by the President's amnesty pro? clamation of December 25, 1868. A de? cision was rendered in the long pending case of Eliza J. Atooha, administratrix of Alex. J. Atooha, deooased. Atocba was a native of Spain, but a naturalized citizen of the Uuited States, who did business as a bunker in the City of Mexico, and was expelled from that country durng the revolutions of 1845, whioh overthrew the Government ot Santa Anna. The United States having by treaty of Gaudalonpe Hidalgo as? sumed the claims of its own citizens against Mexico, .Mocha presented bis claim for lot-suB caused by his expulsion, und it was rejected by the commission appointed to examine such olaims. Sub sequently, in 1865, Congrees referred the claim to this Court, which now renders judgment in favor of Atooha against the United States for 8207,459.37. being the bnlanoe of the $2,250,0.JO provided by treaty of Gaudaloupe Hidalgo, for pay? ment of claims of citizens of the United States against the Government of Mexi? co, whioh now remains unapplied to that object. Judgments will also be ren? dered for $92.398 in favor of Wm. W. Cons, of Memphis, for cotton seized by the Government, and Harvey and Levi Sey, for $42,306, for work and damages in building a bridge for the Government at Bock Island. In the case of tbo exe? cutors of John J. Piatt, a claim for sap plies furnished the army in the war of 1812, the Court found that the Govern? ment was justly indebted-to Piatt to the ? amount of $131,509, but were equally divided upon a subsequent question? namely, whether a judgment of part of the debt under a private Act of-Congress does not bar a recovery for the balance now. Mr. Piatt,. after pressing this claim upon the Government for many years, died in the debtors' prison in this oity. The Court, after hearing argu? ment in the Hot Spriugs oases, adjourned till next Monday, when an adjournment will probably be ordered until October.g Financial and Commercial. Naw.
