1, a darn sluts: I. alluded to the existence of a
irs!,.c tinplated report, to the effect that M. Carnot,
b,t,n:•l•etm sent for to the Tuileries, had given wale-
ii,urances to the Emperor of the disposition
.(the republican party to support him rather than
the eat de Chambord. lat the same time stated
ion certain intormation that this report was incor-
n,i, and that M. 4..traot had had no interview with
the Fusiwnw. It appears, however, that, although
▪ thrvugh the medium of M. Carnet overtures
a mot remarkable kind have lately been
61,, to the republican party, overtures winch have
as , with the in.x.t signal failure. I have to-day been
•
fay..nred with the sight of a document, in which the
Leine alai result of the negotiation that has takep
are esplaiuel. 'lltis paper has been drawn un
;wit the sanction of some of the most eminent, as
WC:IAA the most moderate among the levelers of the
rqu'i.icais party, for the express purpose of correct-
's; the loo.i• rumours that arc abroad in rebtion to
the satinet, ..mid of informing their friends of what bat
tally occurred. It is as follows :
A eertion number of foreign journals have spoken of
turbans mule to men belonging to tae republican pasty ;
▪ Lei even been said that an interview had taken plain be-
rin, a the present head of the state and Y. Carnot. In
eh
i• has been stated on this eubjeet there is • mixture of
truth mid falsehood. It is true that an attempt has been
▪ t., tally the republicans to the new government, but
it; exit true that M. Carnot was sent for to the Tuileries,
er th it he hes had an interview with the head of power.
R. Carnet has had nothing to do with what has taken
pair. In order to egahlish the truth. and explain pea
ei.tle the situation, we will in a few words make known
what has really occured. l'ert Ain exalted pcniontiges enjoying
great intimacy with the head of power, halo di-
rectly addressed du to certain republicans,
eha may be called republicans des sur-lendemitio,"• to
loin in short who found themselves in the position of M.
b.l oil% for 'sample. before he became distinguished by
b:s 111,i111 to the system of this reign, which, .• unlike 110
winy when known to history, did net originate in violence,
gamiest. er anat./gem." The official personages of whom
los has. spoken said to the republicans: .• You have to
thew, between a g eat proceeding from the people
ma has all • revolutiouary origin, and • dynasty sop-
py', d by the foreigner, in • word, • restoration.
Itaircia these two, they added, you cannot h,sitate ; your
earse hto support, with a view to its amelioration, that
which Oust*. is °Tiler to escape from that which may come.
Mali the view of tempting those who were thought likely
briome converts. it was endeavoured to lead them to hope
that their coops tett in with the government might turn to
re yrotit of Warty. By inhering, it was said, you will
ewer, terhansertary government while you escape from
the Romani.. After beeline said " L' Empire c'est 14 pais,"

TI., eouvrrsatioo, the principal features of which we have
jilt mentioned, wm accompanied by oilers of high official
regions The bench, the SOME!, the Council of State, the
sdinc.tration in all its branches were open to the much-
icor .1 proselytes.
Baring low mule known the prapositions that were made
it b. cows our duty to declare, that, brilliant as these oilers
were. the y unit with no sort of success.
The total example given by M. Billault, M. Cormenin,
tad Fele others, will have nu imitators. The republican
tarty, is its entirety, with some despicable individual ea-
to.ivi4 has r,mainrd and will remain entirely eloof from
the acts accomplished in these unhappy times. This is now
