LONDON, SATURDAY, FEB. 10.
Ws have never considend the tuk of sovereign in
a constitutional government to be Herculean, or to
seed such paramount texts and sagacity aa is some-
time sapped. Louts PHILIPPE, fur example, was
for many years estimated as little less than a living
miraele,frons the suppcoed adroitness with which he ma-
=god parties, kept down turbulence, and maintained
his sway. And had not recent events come to shake
this profound belief in his sagacity, Lowe PHILIPPS
would have gone down to posterity in the character,
which Mr. Dise@ilt has assigned him, that of the
aedtra ULTASEB.
That seine enerrieg public spiiion, in whose esti-
mafiosi Louis PHILIPPI passed so loag se theconeen-
true= of wisdom, had set down Louis NAPOLEON
tee a foil If any good qualities were allowed him,
they were those of hardihood and resolve ; but that
he would steer his way cantionely end decorously
through the maze of parties aid obdßictions, which
beset his path as Freakiest of the Republic, is
what no ins believed, se thought possible.
And yet we now MN that Louis NAPOLEON
makes quite as good a ULYSSES as the chief of the
Orleans family. He has shown temper and self-
command, has courted popularity, without incurring
or in any way trompewsking him dignity.
He has shown sagacity in theiheiss ernes, &masa
in repressing thus that wan igesigth gratitude to-
wer& those who saw* did hi elation, and
a doe degree of comilindes towards his opponents.
He began a ministry out of all
the peruse which wppoe him. He took °DIL-
LON HAISOT, his old counsel and constant ad•
view, for chief of his cabinet, and to the
=friends of M. Rusin he added a
M. IMMO, a member of the moderate mph-
party, and a man in the confidence of the legiti-
mists. M. Tifirne's friend proved uncourteces, the
grmirsto republican .anoeived distrust. Both do-
spelled of the success of the President in his conflict
with the Assembly, and both withdrew. Things,
however, have pus on very well without them, and
the ministry, backed by the President's firm support,
bas jest overcome the chief difficulty of its p?sition.
If the character and capacity of Louis NAN:name
had been idly depreciated, the National Assembly was
the target of much more inveterate calumny. Being
ideatiSed with the republic, and born of universal ant-
bye, oar anew:esti° scribes, damns, could not abide
it; and, of course, we have heard nothing but abuse
and contempt of it. Now, we know of no represen-
tative assembly in the annals of inch, that can
lay skies to more temperance, more impartiality,more
disks. resteduess, more presence of mind and straight-
forlardness of purpose, under the most trying einem-
=woes, than the National Assembly. Elected in
the midst of the most fearful popular effervescence, it
reheat from the first to be the slave or the instru-
ment of wild democracy. The early part of its
caner was spent in confi:ot with the anarchists,
whom it vanquished in argument, in policy, and
is open war. Without the National Amenably,
CATAIONAC Weald never have pet down the
armed communism of inserreetios It was the
National Assembly, the result et universel suffrage,_
and Gaud amities% the republic= chief, who
together achieved that triumph over blind and rani•
pant democracy, which two dynasties of coned-
=deed kings, and chambers based on a limited
immohies, utterly failed in doing. If France has
a bade on which to build a fabric of order and
government, it owes that beds to a republican as-
Nobly and a republican chief
The great work, indeed, of having saved Frans
ken the fearful domination of the upper and
enlightened classes by the lower and the ignorant,
was hilly achieved before LOON NAPOLEON
esoraded the presidential chair. For him was re-
served a task of another kind, and of much smaller
difficulty and importance—it was to reconcile the
imperial andmonarchic import of his name with the
republican principle of that portion of the Amembly
and of that party, which in Inns and since June
wed Franco from anarchy.
We do not think thiato have been any snob very dill-
cultniattae. The moderate republioans,whe entertained
Mee very natural suspicions of the monarchic seal
of IL Bautor, were no violent or extreme men.
And bed more moderation ban thews then, they
wadi have been sooner paesAmL The Mosesiese

bee between the Ufarsisis tad the moderati

the altralleesetents did show some signs d fury

The trick is a very eLI eine, and the materiels foe smolt

There an always men ready to swear to
a conspiracy, and to diadem the details of
it if they have a few feels and reams, or a
foundation, and if excitement begets credulity. For
oar pert, we deem such =palmate clumsy and vul-
gar ; and we should have thought higher of X. Bea-
ROT to have done without such. Bat it hes sue-
evaded ; there ham been no blood spilt : the mock at-
mots are not too many; no that, on the whole, the
