The President's Departure for

: ular Session Nomina.
- - '-' tions. ' -
Washington, Oct 29 A special cab
inet meeting was held to-day. The
President will leave on a special car
for Richmond early to-morrow.
An effort will be made to-day to se
cure an adjournment before the No
vember election. Should it fail, the
prospects are unfavorable for legisla
tion until after that event. '
Information has been received from
Mexico to the effect that, taking into
consideration the necessity which exi
ists of giving an impulse to the export
of agricultural and industrial products,
the President has ordered that it be
permitted to foreign Bteam and sail
vessels to carry gold and silver coins
from one port of the republic to anoth
er, so there may be no want of hard
cash on board the same. To prevent
the realization of mercantile transac
tions relative to the exportation of
national products, and to ayoid the
abuses which may be attempted, the
custom houses, on issuing the corres
ponding 'permits and extending the
respective passes, of which the return
pass shall be presented, shall require a
bond to their satisfaction from wh o m so
ever it may belong, that he may prove
within a prudent period indicated, that
the amount remitted was destined to
the object for which it was sent, with
the understanding that the want of this
proof, in' its due time, will alone be a
sufficient cause for proceeding imme
diately to require the payment of the
duties pertaining to the amount sent.
Senate Ingalls, of Kansas, intro
duced a bill to fix the date of the

Monday of November. Referred to

The committee on Privileges and
Elections met, but adjourned, the mat

House The call of States for bills
for reference occupied the House for
five hours, and the consequence was
the introduction of the largest number
of bills that were ever presented in one
day in the history of Congress. They
reached eight hundred and forty-five.
They might be classified into some
half a dozen prominent eubjects: The
repeal of the resumption act; the re
monetization of silver ; the repeal of
the bankrupt law ; the abolition of the
tax on tobacco by producers ; the ex
tension of the pension laws of the
South ; the repeal of the test oath, and
appropriations for works of internal
improvements. Among the latter
were bills appropriating three millions
for the Mississippi levees, and one mil
lion for the Missouri river. The com
mittees were announced. Wood, of
New. York, is chairman of the commit
tee on Ways and Means, and Atkins,
of Tennessee, is chairman of the com
mittee on Appropriations. Adjourned

FRANCE.
The Results of the Second Ballot
on Suuday.
Paris, October 29. The results of the
second ballots, yesterday, so far as
known, show nine government candi
dates, and two Republicans elected.
In three arrondissements the Repub
lican candidates claiming they were
elected on the 16th inst., did not stand,
intending to submit their claim to the
Chamber of Deputies. The Republi
cans, however, did not attach much
importance to these supplemental elec
tions, because, excluding three Union
ists arrondissements, the above men
tioned ten second ballots were render
ed necessary, simply by the division of
the conservative vote between the op
posing Royalist and Bonapartist candi
dates, one of whom has withdrawn,
rendering the result certain. Compled
Espenilles, (Bonapartist), defeated M
Gerdin, a Moderate Republican, and a
member of the last Chamber for the
Chateau Cbinon department of Nieyre,
whose candidature Gambetta went to
Chateau Chinon to support.
Paris, October 29. The Soliel again
to-day insists that President MacMa
hon or the ministry must resign. There
is no other way out of the crisis, Le
Soliel says, and it naturally prefers
that the ministry should resign.
A conservative paper, Le Assembler
Nationele, declares it can confirm the
statement of the Pays, that the resig.-.
nation of the ministry has already been
determined upon in principle.
London, October 29 Later intelli
gence from Paris shows that fifteen
second ballots were held yesterday,
resulting in the election of eleven of
the Conservatives and four Republi
cans. By this result the Chamber will
stand, 820 Republicans, and 210 Con
servatives. Note. The results of yesterday's
balloting reported in this dispatch do
not admit the claim of three Republi
cans that they were elected on the 14th
inst., as mentioned in a previous dispatch.
