SIR,—So numerous are the statements of railway companies, and the avidity shown to usher them be fore the public, that it cannot be much matter of surprise that they are viewed with some degree of jealousy, emanating as they do from those whose tenure of office, from the difficulty attendant in the c hoice of new directors, may be considered Qs a fixity. B es '.ides, more ample statements of accounts hive long b een a s;:ed for by both shareholders and the press, and not until the managers of railway properly found it depreciated, so as to threaten its very ex istence, have they thought it requisite to give the public Any comprehensible statement of their affairs. It is not my intention to occupy much of tour valuable columns, but scme part of the York, Newcastle, &c., statement has struck me as containing assumptions not verified by previous facts, that if you have space you wilt oblige me by inserting my observations. The earn ings of the line now open is stated to be 720,0001. per annum ; and supposing the same ration to be upheld when the whole line—say 330 miles—is being worked, it will amount to 880,0001. per annum. The com pany take it at 1,040,0001, or 160,0001. more than they are now proportionately earning. This is a eery heavy increase when the competition by the western lines is considered. Next, Sir, the working expences. I find the expenditure for the last four half years of the Newcastle and Berwick, and under its other cognomen since its connexion with the Great North of England, has been about 255,000/., upon an earning of less than 645,0001., making aboub 39 per cent. for expenses—some deductions from this may probably be made, but to the extent assumed by the company is almost impossible, and it is somewhat remarkable that although so enormous a reduction in working expenses is taken credit for, no explanation is afforded to the wondering public. Notwithstanding the unassailableness of their pro perty the directors think it highly expedient to possess a further interest in railways, as they acknowledge they have competing companies for the far north traffic at least. Perhaps the Leeds and Thirsk Railway may be too trifling an undertaking to be considered as inter fering with the York and Newcastle lines, but there are men in Leeds who think it will do so a little. I am, yours, truly, B. E• Nov. 24, 1848. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sta,—Now that the directors of the above railway have issued their financial statement, the public are placed in a position to judge accurately of each de scription of shares. But several of my friends are still under raisap prehension as to the relative value of the preference shares and the extensions ; and as some of your readers may also be in this position, I shall be obliged by your inserting these few lines. The preference shares are guaranteed 6 per cent. till 1850, when they rate for dividend the same as the old stock, whether it be 7, or 8, or 9 per cent. ; the extension shares now take dividend on the entire amount paid precisely the same as the old stock ; so the latter are of greater value than the preference, though many of the public are not aware of this—as the share lists prove. 1,0001. bought in extensions receives exactly the same dividend as 1,0001. laid out in stock. Amidst the wreck of too many railway properties, it will be satisfactory to the shareholders in this line to know that the directors, even in these bad times, show their capability of paying 7 per cent., and hav ing an annual surplus of 76,0001. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, Liverpool, Nov. 23, 1848. Z.

Gentlemen,—An invitation, as unexpected as it is gratifying, has just been conveyed to me from a numerous body of electors, to allow myself to be put in nomination to represent year Riding. My, first and overwhelming impression, on receiving such a com munication, has been one of personal unworthiness of such an honour. Whatever bearing such an admission may have, it is right to confess that, as a man whose property lies out of your county. though for a short time he represented one of your boroughs, and who is unknown by sight to a large proportion of Yorkshirensen. such an offer is calculated to produce feelings, in which gratitude is strongly blended with a disposition to decline the task. Allow me, however, to state to you the circumstances which have counteracted these first impressions. The grounds on which I have come to the decisi.tt to comply with the request to become a candi date are, in brier, those which have induced a large body of yew selves to forget that my property Is south and not north of the Humber. I have been asked to stand, and now consent to do so, because, while there are three or four subjects on which. I entertain strong odluions, there is another en which my views are so long cherished, and so firmly held, that I hopa there is scarcely any sacrifice which I should not feel it my duty to make in order to secure their triumph. The principle . ot entire freedom of commerce I desire to see carried out to its fullest development, including a change in our navigation laws. Economy in the public finances I desire to see effected, not so much by petty reductions in subordinate offices, as by a bold and manly review of the whole principle and details of our present expen diture. The charge on the Exchequer is greater now wider a Whig Government than it was when the Duke of Wellington was in office. I will not presume, - in such a hasty address, to say in what exact particulars of our military, naval, and civil serv;ces reductions ought to be effected ; bat 01 this I am certain, that a searching investiga tion of the whole of these departments is a duty which the distressed condition of the country demands from your representatives. With regard to our representative system, I am grateful for the Reform Act as far as it goes, and if it had gone as far in practice as its supporters anticipated in theory, I should be reluctant to dis turb a settlement arrived at after severe contests. But I desire to see the principle of the Reform Bill carried out. I wish to see elec tions the real expression of honest public opiniofi ; and I have witnessed so much of corruption and intimidation that I feel per suaded that wo shall never_have real representation without the Ballot. To the success of the Ballot I believe large constituencies to be essential ; independently of which reason for extending the suf frage, I have a strong conviction that the wider can be made the basis on which our franchise is founded, consistently with the due qualification of the voter, the safer will be the superstructure of our Constitution, and the better will it be able to resist those storms which are threatening the old despotisms and novel constitutions of the Continent. To these economies and reforms peace is essential. It is scarcely needful to say that both as a politician and as a Christian, I ardently desire, and should strenuously labour for its maintenance. But the point of all others on which I feel it to be ray duty to ad dress you, is the subject of further religious endowments by the State. This is the question which alone induces me to re linquish a life of comparative privacy, and to submit to the labours, responsibilities, and (I may add) privations, of a Par liamentary life. Here I feel that my direct duty to God as a Christian coincides with my lower duty as a politician and as an Englishman. Putting aside for the moment the abstract question of existing religious establishments, I protest against all new religious endowments ; involving as they do the putting of truth and error on the same level, and the establishment of a pro vision for Romanist priests—the offspring of an insidious and un worthy expediency— side by side with Protestant institutions,which, whatever may be their abstract propriety or the contrary, are at all events based upon an acknowledgment of divine truth. To any provision of any sort or kind for the Romish priests, to any transfer of the property of the Irish establishment under any plea, however plausible, to the adherents of Remo, I am conscien tiously, firmly, irrevocably opposed. But while I thus object to the endowment of the religion of my Romanist fellow-countrymen, am bound to add that I also object to the further endonment of Protestantism ; desiring as I do that the civil and religious rights of one class of religionists in the State should be as tenderly cherished and as firmly maintained as those of another. The deputation who have waited upon me are this instant leav ing London, and I must abruptly close this communication. I hope to follow them to-morrow to Leeds, and speedily to have the honour of addressing the electors in some of the chief towns of the West Riding. In the meantime, I have the honour to be, gentlemen, Your faithful and obedient leivant, CULLING EARDLEY EARDLEY. PUBLICATIONS. FREELAND'S POEMS. • Now Ready, post Bvo., price 65., 0 S. By H. W.

Well may Mr. Morrison, the Hygeist, expose such infernal poisons as Strychnine, which sends people into the next world even when the dose is no larger than a pin's-head, and leaves no trace behind. Who can he sale whilst this is the ease ? Our chemists' shops arc filled with theoc infernal polsons lying about amom , st such things as honey, arrow-root, Stc., &c. I see the Doctors, through their old friend the " Dispatch," are up in arms against Mr. Morrison, for opening the eyes of the publ.c on this, to them, most important question.

More exalted than mere passion, it soars high above every other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice but more engrossing even than anabit , on. No man is exempt from its influence, or can avo!d its sway; and bdsinees, pleasure, philo sophy, and divinity itself become neglected under the enthralling power with t o m f LOVE,until it which. recei v ue receives theik e smostacre d h c i no consummation increases ation o i f n intensity marriage. When union does not take place, however, this passion, this fervour, this golden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly poison in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright ened, all things upon earth. How is it, that men, of most un changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life time spent in the fulfilment of every engagement, snap the very con tract asunder which should be most binding to an honourable mind? It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early habits, or the results of secret disease, knows himself to be disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been instituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment of important ends. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently be beyond measure deplorable 1 Loving and beloved, he entails the most miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and upon himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession of natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of unalloyed happiness. The subject is interesting, and deserves the attention of all. These desirous of investigating it will find the fullest and most satisfactory information in the little work entitled SELF-PRESERVATION, illustrated by forty coloured engravings on the anatomy, physiology, and diseases of the reproductive organs ; with practical observa ion son the secret infirmities of youth and maturity, resulting from solitary habits, excesses, or infection.

REPRESENTATION OF THE WEST RIDING. NOMINATION OF MR. DENISON. Yesterday an influential meeting of Conservative and Whig electors of the West Riding of Yorkshire was held at the Royal Hotel in Leeds, to consider what coursis should be taken with respect to the election now impend ing. 11. Hall, Esq., of Leeds, was called to the chair. and amongst the gentlemen present were the Hon. A Lascelles, the Hon. J. W. Scarlett, Col. Tempest, Col. Markham, John Rand, Esq.; H. W. Wickham, Esq.; L. W. Wickham, Esq.; W. W. Brown, Esq.; Thomas. Benyon, Esq ; Charles Hardy, Esq ; 11. Wormsld,Esq ; John Gott, E,:q.; John Sykes, Esq.; George Noble, Esq.; John Haigh, Esq.; Ralph Marl;land, Esq.; J. R Atkinson, Esq.; J. 11. Hill, Esq.; T. J. Dibb, Esq.; H. P. Hope, Esq.; J. G. Uppleby, Esq.; Samuel Smith. Efq.; T. E. Upton, Esq.; Rev. Dr. Holmes, Rev. Gee. Levithvvaite, Rev. William Sinclair, C. Kernplay, Esq. ; George Young, Esq.; John Wilson, Esq.; J. W. Ten nant, Esq.; Richard Church, Esq., &c. After a few brief introductory remarks by the CHAIR MAN on the circumstances which had taken place with regard to the representation of the Riding during the last few days, COI. TEMPEST rose, and suggested the desirableness of the representation of so important a constituency being vested in the charge of a gentleman who had some standing in the county, and who had some acquaintance with its local interests. Ile, therefore, begged to suggest that Mr. Denison, the late Member for the riding, was an eligible candidate to put in nomination in the present emergency. Mr. SYKES begged to inquire what were Mr. Denison's views with regard to free trade, as upon that would de pend whether or not he could give him his support. Col. TEMPEST said, that although he had no authority to answer for Mr. Denison, he believed that he regarded that matter as a settled question, and that he was disposed to give the new system a fair trial. Mr. SYKES intimated that be was satisfied. Some discussion took place upon incidental matters, which resulted in the moving of the following resolution by Col. Tempest:— " That under present circumstances, as respects the representation of the West Riding, it is desirable that some candidate should be selected who will unite the votes of moderate men of all parties, and that for this purpose this meeting thinks Mr. Denison a fit person to be brought forward on this occasion." The Hon. J. W. SCARLETT seconded the motion, and it was carried without a single dissentient. It was then resolved:— " That the foregoing resolution be immediately ad vertised and circulated, and that this meeting adjourn to the Ncrmanton Station Hotel to-morrow (Saturday), at one o'clock, to take proper steps to carry the same into effect; and that the attendance of all gentlemen favour able to that resolution be earnestly requested." Some other routine arrangements having been made, the meeting terminated. During the afternoon the friends of Sir Culling E. Eardley, Bart., met at the Reform Registration Rooms, to make arrangements for promoting the Hon. Baronet's return, and for giving him a suitable reception to-day (Saturday). Mr. Edmund Denison, who has been in London during the early part of this week, loft town by the four o'clock train yesterday afternoon, for Yorkshire. SPANISH AMERICAN BOND UOLDERS. The Committee of Spanish American bondholders have received the following letters from Mexico:— " FROM MESSRS. MANNING AND MACKINTOSH. " Mexico, Oct. 13, 1848. " Sir—The annexed is a copy of our last respects, dated 12th ult., since when we are favoured w ith y ours of the Ist of ugust, and Ist ult., the contents of which have been attentively noted; and in respect to the 20 per cent. of the customs duties of Vera Cruz and Tam pico, you will have found by our last that remittances bad already gone forward on account of them; and we trust that in due time the other portions of the revenue assigned to the bondholders will be brought into effec ual operation. According to advices from Vera Cruz,' there are import duties owing by the merchants there the 20 per cent. of which amounts to about 80,000 dolls., but not being due, are not yet recoverable. " A good deal of excitement has been caused here by the extraordinary announcement of Senor Mora, pub lished in the English newspapers; and the subject was today taken up in Congress, when the Minister of Fo reign Affairs was called upon to produce the communi cations bearing on the subject. The result of the dis cussion we are unable to state by this opportunity. The copy of your letter to Senor Mora is being translated, and will be laid before the Mexican Government, and every exertion in our power will be used to uphold the rights of the bondholders in this particular. . " We observe that it was contemplated to accept the offer of Mr. W. P. Robertson to proceed to this country, for the purpose of acting in conjunction with us in the representation of the bondholders; and we beg to assure you of our zealous co-operation, and that in the mean time our exertions will not be spared to uphold the inte rests of the bondholders.—We remain, Sco., (Signed) " MANNINO AND MACKINTOSH. " G. R. Robinson, Esq." FROM MESSRS. MANNING. MACKINTOSH, AND CO. " Vera Cruz, Oct. 16, 1548. " Gentlemen,—We inclose duplicate of our last re spects, and have now merely to inform you of having, at the last moment, succeeded in collecting, and having shipped by this opportunity, 5,064 dolls. 92c. on account of the bondholders. "By an approximate calculation, the duties upon vessels entered in September amount to 150,000 dolls.—We are, &c., " MANNING, MACKINTOSH, AND CO. " Mr. Glass, ur:der date Tampico, Oct. 12, advises the shipment at that port. of 22,226 dolls., which has duly arrived." The committee have also received the followink from Mr. Price, a partner in the house of Messrs. Manning and Mackintosh:— " London, Nov. 24, 1818. " Sir,—Being at this moment in London, end learning that some :surprise has been expressel that a sum of money which my house in Mexico hful received from the Mexican Government (being the proportion of the produce of duties received by the Mexican Government from the Government of the United States) had not been remitted to England, I think it right to, state, for the information of the committee of bondholders, that, no conducta having left the city of Mexico since this money was received by my home, it could not possibly have been remitted except in bills of exchange, which would have been attended with a loss of 10 per cent. " The money, being Government funds, will be shipped free of export duty. Messrs. Manning and Mackintosh would by no means have been justified, under such circumstance, in remitting bills of exchange. " I remain, &e., (Signed) " DANIEL PRICE. " G. R. Robinson, Esq., M.P., Chairman, &c." DEATH OF SCHWANTHALER, THE ScuLrToß.---We regret to announce the death of the eminent sculptor, Ludwig von Schwanthaler, who expired on the 14th inst., at Munich, in his 47th year. He was buried with great pomp on the 17th inst., thousands attending his funeral. his remains were deposited in the tomb of General Heidegger, where they will remain until the tomb is finished which King Ludwig was causing to be built for him and his friend, the late director Gartner. Sehwanthaler showed at an early age a love for the arts. He was first destined to the study of the sciences, and applied himself, when a boy, to the deepest study of Eimer and the Greek tragedians. The death of his father obliged him to take to the business of statuary, a profession which had existed in the family for genera tions, and was that of his father and uncle. In the Academy of Arts, at Munich, Schwanthaler did not find that support which he deserved. The di rector, Langer, a pedantic man, considered him too free and independent in his notions ; and it was in opposition to that person's opinions that Schwan thaler followed the lectures on archaeology at the Lyceum of Thiersch. The quickness with which he became a proficient in drawing from the antique, and the talent he possessed for composition, are shown by the first great work which he undertook. It was King Maximilian I. who commissioned him to execute a large silver Epergne in the midst of a plate or table, with a border of upright figures. This was to be upwards of 100 feet in length, and the figures to be six inches in height. The composition of this border was to repre sent the procession of the Gods of Olympus to the pa lace of Jupiter. Schwanthaler began it, but before it was near being completed King Maximilian died. That por tion of it, however, which was finished is described as being very beautiful. King Ludwig and the Duke Max. now extended their patronage to Schwanthaler, who executed for the latter the myth of Bacchus in a series of relief compositions for the freize of a room in his pa lace. King Ludwig, however, was his greatest patron, and ho executed for the King the statues of painters in the Pinakothek, the protectors of plastic art in the niches of the Glyptothek, the dramatic poets on the staircase of the theatre at Munich, and the compositions for the pediments of the Glyptothek, the ludustre ge baude, and the Walhalla, besides many other relief pieces also at the Glyptothek and in the royal palace. He also modelled many figures which were afterwards reproduced by foundry. A series of statues of Czech heroes and heroines, which he had been commissioned from Bohemia to execute, has been interrupted by his death. ROYAL LYCEUM THEATRE.—The following nobility and gentry have honoured this favourite theatre with their presence during the week to witness the Merry Wives of Windsor:—The Duke of Rutland, Lord Ward, Earl of Munster, Dowager Countess of Essex and Miss Johnson, Lord William Paulett, Lady Baring, Sir John and Lady Doraville, Lord Brooke, Lady Frances Gordon, Lady Augusta Barin g , Lady W e b s t er , Lord and Lady Duncan, Hon.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. At the close of the sitting of the National Assem bly on Thursday, M. JULES FA..vrtE ascended the tri bune. • to give notice of his intention to address certain questions to the Ministers on the subject. of a rumour which had prevailed that certain electoral circulars in favour of General CAVAIGNAC had been sent into the provinces under Ministerial covers. The time was aptly chosen, as no. Minister was present but the Minister of Public Instruction, and M. JULES FA VRE consequently calculated on a circulation for three clays at least (as Saturday was to be taken up with 3ther matters), of his notice, without the pos iibility of contradiction or explanation. He reckoned, however, without his host. The Minister of Public Instruction declared that the Government was quite ready to meet the accusation when it might be brought forward, and the next day was fixed (greatly to the chagrin of the enemies of General CAVAIGNAC) as the day for the interpellations to be addressed to the Minister. A new journal, the Credit, publishes the following very important correspondence, which has taken place between M. ODIER, a rich banker of Paris, and a Judge of the Tribunal of Commerce, and 11i. Du ',arum, the Minister of the Interior, on the subject of the candidature of General CATAIGNAC : "TO M. DUFAUEE, MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR. "Paris, Nov. 17, 1848. " Sir,—ln the decisive circumstances in which our unfortunate country is placed, after what it has suf fered, and in the sad perspective of the agitations with which it is menaced, all the friends of order and peace interested in the return of confidence and the resumption of labour, which alone can put an end to the public misery, should neglect nothing which may restore to the moderate party its unity and its influence., the policy of General Cavaignac is known ; his official acts have given pledges to order by the energetic repression of the insurrection of June, and guarantees of good and honest government by the last composition of his Cabinet. But his personal character is not known, and his intentions are suspected. Indecision and con cealed motives are attributed to him, and in this respect it is important that all persons who have been in relation with him, and been connected with him in business and friendship, should declare themselves frankly and openly. You are now, sir, the chief and the guide of the most in fluential portion of the Moderate party—of that party which would not allow France again to be plunged in conspiracies and revolutions—of the party which accepts freely the regular government which we have suc ceeded in establishing at the price of so many sacri fices, and which sincerely desires an honest Republic—a Republic founded on respect for en. vagements and the maintenance of order, realis ing progressively . the institutions promised by the Constitution. It is as the personification of the Mode rate party of the Government, and as being by your character, your experience of mankind, and your well known caution, the person whose judgment has the highest authority, that I entreat you, in the name of the most sacred interests of the country, to reply to the fol lowing questions, and authorise me to make your reply public. Is General Cavaignac really, as lam persuaded he is, a straightforward, honest man, a man of good sense and good heart - , in whose intentions France may place trust ? Do you think that, if made President of the Republic, his policy will be, as new, a policy of order and progress, opposed to all convulsion, all rash move ments, in the sense of extreme parties ? Do you be lieve, from the bottom of your heart, that you are both in accord for a long time to come, that there does not exist between you any difference, any rimier pensee, and that you personally—you, M. Dufaure—will be called upon to give to the President of the Republic the same co-operation that you give to the President of the Council s ? This step, which is entirely personal, is quite out of the modest habits of my life. The step that you will take, if you reply, will also be out of the habits of your life. But since we are destined to live in Repub lic, let us, in the first instance, endeavour to have the virtue of republicanism. Let all who have merited public respect by an irreproachable life have the courage of their convictions. Moral influence is the most important of all influence. And what man has now a right to as sumo the initiative, if he be not the man in whom this initiative becomes the most sacred of duties from his own conscience, and the esteem which all entertain for him. " J. ODIER, " Banker, and Judge of the Tribune of Com merce of the Seine." " TO N. J. ODIER. " Paris, Nov. 22, 1848. " Sir,—You are right when you say that the declara tion which you require from me is contrary to all my habits. My official position may, unknown to you, dimi ni,h the confidence which you are disposed to place in me. You press me, however, to give an answer. My silence would authorise suspicions which would be far from the truth. It would of itself be a reply to your questions, but a very incorrect and faithless one. Ac cording to you, the policy of General Cavaignac is known. He has given pledges of his love of order, and guarantees of a good and honest government. But some doubt still exists as to his character and his intention. You desire to know how I appre ciate them. I will tell you plainly in few words, and with perfect sincerity. I had directed my atten tion for a long time, in my Parliamentary studies, to those young officers who, on the soil of Africa, so glo riously sustained the honour of our flag ; prepared by a severe education, tried by the fatigues and varied chances of the military life, I saw them, strangers to our constitutional conflicts, resolutely pursuing the line traced out to them by their duty, and laboriously gain ing, at the price of their blood, all their grades on the field of battle. I felt that they formed the strongest and most serious part of our generation, and I respected them from the bottom of my heart before I saw them, and without divinint , that society in France would one day owe to them a debt of gratitude for the repression of the most criminal disorders in the terrible days of June. I have been for two months in intimate and con tinual relation with one of these officers of Africa, now become chief of the Executive Power. The opinion which I had conceived is now more firm and more fixed. lam not new in the study of men in the direc tion of public affairs, I have been able to see closely, I have observed at leisure, for four years past, all the statesmen of these times; I have known none whose language was more sincere, whose heart was more correct and more disinterested, whose mind was more just and more clear than those of General Cavaignac. I consider him to be the true republican of our times, a republican of wisdom, firmness, and conviction. He has a very decided opinion that the Republic can be founded in France only in the midst of peace. Ho fears that a war would expose us either to internal convulsions or the domination of victorious generals. Hence his efforts to maintain peace; and he is assisted in this noble enter prise by the confidence which he has been able already to inspire in all the Governments of Europe. Gene ral Cavaignac knows as well as you and me that a Republican Government, like any other, would be impossible in France, unless it should make it an al) , solute duty to protect all liberties and energetically maintain public order. He has not, in any respect, or in any degree, those despotic or anarchical ideas which by different modes would alike lead the coun• try to ruin. He combats both with equal resolution. I am really astonished that his intentions should appear doubtful to those who have seen for fivo months how he has maintained order under tile most difficult circum stance, amid the warm emotions which followed the days of June, and the ardent anxieties which precede the elec _ _ . Lion of the 10th of December. I could not conceive the shadow of a doubt in those who can read at the bottom of his heart. As for me, sir, as you speak of my personal feelings, I am sensible how delicate and difficult would be the position of a Minister under the form of govern ment organized by the constitution. Ne vertheless, lam ready to accept it with General Cavaignac, convinced that we should have the same views, and seek to realise them by the same means. lam quite sure that we should neither of us have any other ambition than that of solidly establishing the first founda tions of the French Republic by an honest, regular, and enlightened Administration; and I ventur e to believe that we should succeed if the National Assembly should give to us its sovereign support. It is said, I know, that the day after his election General Cavaignac would choose other Ministers than those of the 13th of October last. You will comprehend that Ido not demand from him any engagement on this subject. What I can affirm to you very positively is, that the fears propa gated on this head appear to me unreasonable, and that General Cavaignac will certainly accept, without hesita tion, the Ministers who may be indicated by the majority of the National Assembly. Whoever they may be, they will only have a sure and honourable part to perform. Placed between those who find our new constitution too democratic, and those who reproach it with not being sufficiently socialist, they will only have to govern in the spirit and according to the dictates of the con stitution. They will leave to others the deplorable courage of dreaming already of overturning it, and of attempting another revolution in an unfortunate country which desires the repose which would render it so fruitful and prosperous. This, sir, is my reply. If it leaves still some doubt on your mind, I am ready to give you all the explanations that you may desire. In such grave circumstances, and in a question on which the future fate of our country is so strongly engaged, I am resolved to exercise, although a Minister, the right possessed by every citizen to express his opinion freely.
