Paris, To-day.

In an atmosphere tense with expectation, but with good prospects of receiving a safe majority, the Sarraut Cabinet faced the Chamber for the first time yesterday. The House listened quietly to the Ministerial declaration read by the Pre- mier, which was received favourably by the Left and the Left Centre, with occasional cheers.
