opened. and, stunned by the diagram of qhanganner,
which followed, wanted the conservative party to
check Louis Napoleon in time, or the " empire was
made." The deletion gained in the preceding year
by M. Mere was now thrown out. M. Thiers and
his friends opened the sharpest opposition, but their
vigour was blunted in its effects by the terror which
prevailed of the socialists ; and the conciliatory party
of the Pyramids Club saved Louis Napoleon
from being impeached before the High Court. Nearly
all the men to whom the doors of France are re-
opened through the first decree in the Nemirow, dis-
tinguished themselves by the energy of their opposi-
tion at that period. M. de ltemusat moved for a
committee of inquiry on the state of the nation;
Jules de Luteyne lashed, in an admirable speech,
the drunken ruffianism of the Decembrista, whom he
represented as seven thousand rascals held in leash
by the Elystw, and ready at any moment to pounce
on society. M. Creton struggled for the repeal of
the laws of banishment against the Bourbons, that
the Orleans princes might appear in the field, and
canna@ the presidency in '62. M. Chambolle was em-
ployed indefatigably 112 promoting in his excellent
journal, the Ordre, the views of this party, and tem-
pering with a wholesome republicanism the covert
dynastic aims of the regentists. The press and tri-
bune never exhibited a more efficient co-operation in
opposition than under these leaders. Duvergier de
Hauranne, who was returned to the Legislative Assem-
bly in its last year, indemnifiedhiniselt with thepolicy
ofThiers,anddispLayed the same inexhaustible activity
which rendered him so dangerous an agitator in the
time of the banquets before February. Now where are
all these once aspiring spirits ? They re-enter their
enslaved country, self-doomed to an obscure submis-
sive inactive position, and a total abeyance of all
those political talents they possess in so eminent a
degree. Two names figure in the first decree of to-
day, which have little connection with the rest—l
mean those of General Laidet and Anthony Thouret.
Laidet is a veteran of 70, and a relation of Casimir
Perier, who used to take the chair at the general
meetings of the republican representatives at
Lemar&lay's. Anthony Thouret, in the vigour
of his age, was a number of the Mountain, and
early broken in to political persecution under the
monarchy, which directed thirty-two persecutions
against his writings, imprisoned him for five years,
and fined him four thousand pounds. After February
he was appointed extraordinary commissioner of the
provisional government in the Nord. Of the ex-
representatives mentioned in the second decree,
Renaud is au enlightened workman in the tin line.
Bignard is a medical practitioner, republican of the
yolk, who was also one of Ledru Rollin's commis-
sioner. Joly was procureur at Toulouse, and another
commissioner of the provisional government for the
Haute Garonne and other departments in that quar-
ter. Theodore Bac, the eminent advocate, wasone of
the main pillars and most eloquent speakers of the
Mountain. Betio, advocate of Lyons, represented
the Drsme. Besse was member for the Tarn • Ma-
lone, an ex-officer of artillery and combatant of July.
Thus we see that out of 66 prescribed M. Bac is the
only man of eminence who has made his submission
to the government. Victor Hugo, included in the
same category, prefers the exile of Jersey. Among
the 18 proscribed of the second list, who are not re-
called, are the Generals Changarnier, Lamoriciere,
Leflo and Bohan, M. Saxe' Pascal Duprat, Victor
Chauffon, and Versigny. Emile de Girardin, who
was included in the same category, owes his return
to France to a friend, whose ashes are scarce cold,
Count D'Orsay. Edgar Quinet, the 18th, has been
deprived of his professorship; but I am not sure the
decree of prosenvtion was ever enforced against him.
I understand that the Russian embassy has re-
oeived orders to maintain for the future nearer and
less interrupted relations with the government of
Louis Napoleon. General Jomini, now at Paris, and
high in the conlidencelof the Czar, dined lately at St.
Cloud. Prince Gortachakoff, head of the staff of
Pukcwitch, who travels with the professed motive
of visiting the baths of Trouville, is also expected
here, and is said to be charged with a special mis-
sion tuna the Emror Nicholas.

TUSCANY.
A letter from Genoa, of August 4, says that the
ministerial crisis at Florence is not over, notwith-
standing the rejoicing with which the Grand Duke's
public entry into Pistola was celebrated. It is sus-
pected that more is at stake than even the Leo-
poldine laws. It is well known that it
was against his will that the Duke dis-
missed Boodle. Since then Swells has received
a mission, some may from Rome, others for Naples.
A fact worthy of remark is that the Archbishop of
Lucca, an intimate friend of Bement, has left his
diocese, end nobody knows whither he has gone.
His whereabouts is guessed at from the circumstance
that the Pope has sent his chamberlain, Monseig-
neur Hohenlohe, with two eminent prelates. upon •
secret mission to the court of Vienna. Sir H. Lytton
Balwer appears to have played an important part
in the solution of the crisis. The Grand Duke, on re-
turning from the baths of Montecatini, expressed his
aversion for Badasseroni, whose policy, he said,
wounded his conscience. However, after a visit from
the English ambassador to the Pitti Palace, the Grand
Duke dismissed Bocoella and kept Baldasseroni
at the head of his ministry. Sir Henry Bulwer went
to the utmost limits of diplomatic representations in
order to produce this result. It is not thought that
these efforts were made solely on behalf of the Leo-
pohline laws. A greater and very mysterious affair
is in agitation.
