LONDON, TUESDAY, JAN. 30.
IT is impossible not to deprecate the *demi-
Woos policy of the French government in pro-
voking an outburst of the fanatic republicans,
and pursuing their aims, however laudable, by
measures calculated to produce: collision, violence,
and uncertainty. France, and its moderates, and
Louie NAPOLEON have had, we think, every reason,
since the 10th of December, to congratulate them-
selves on the quiet manner, and even resignation,
with which the republicans, even the reddest of them,
received and bowed to their defeat. Not only was
the heir of the Emperor NAPOLEON installed in the
first seat of the republic, to the load acclamations of
legitimists and Orleaeista, bat a ministry was ap
pointed of men—eminent, no doubt, and honest, but
still of =dissembled anti-republican tendencies.
After all that has passed, M. BAREOT might have been
contented with the humility of his foes, without en-
tering upon a policy of reaction and persecution, which
recalls the worst days cf the fallen dynasties.
Were the struggle thus commenced or provoked,
one between the newly-elected President and the
anarchic party, there could be no hesitation as to
which one would desire to see triumphant. But the
struggle is not this. It is one merely between the
National Assembly and the ministry. The National
Assembly, being Constituent, asserts its right to sit
till it has completed the
.passing of the organic laws.
The ministry deny that right, and declare their &ter-
mination to dissolve the Assembly at once. Yet what
objection have ministers or President to the Assembly ?
It is republican certainly, but not red republican. It
has put down enamel.. It sent BASSES and his ao-
=wilco@ to prison, and sought to do the same by
LOUIS BLANC and CAUSSIDIERE. It rejected every
socialist motion with contempt. It equally set
aside every clamour for war, every attempt to
create paper insney, or approach bankruptcy. A more
moderitely republican chamber could not be, and why
Louts NAPOLEON should risk the peace of the capital
and the lives of thousands by entering into collision
with it we do not see: The Assembly must, no doubt,
fix a term for its &native. And its first votes showed
that it was prepared to do sea Gentle and conciliatory
means, and some guarantees given to the moderate
republicans, would have secured this. But M. BAREOT
is a bungling negotiator. Ile never has been able to
win over his enemies or restrain his friends, and thus,
though naturally. moderate in character, he has always
been driven against his will to extreme results.
Instead of coming to some terms with the moderate
republicans of the Assembly, who could have given
him the majority,. he has placed himself at war
with the great majority, and instead of carrying his
points by fair means, he is reduced to rude menaces
and open war ; and his measures seem taken to pro-
voke a collision, and to procure the dissolution of the
Assembly by violent means.
We mieit have expected this of General BUGEAUD,
but in M. BAREOT it is unpardonable. For even if
hie aim be good, of which we are by no means sure,
his means are blundering, dangerous, and extreme.
In so critical and exciting a moment as a collision
between a republican assembly, which denies that it
can be dissolved, and an adnuaistration which denies
that it can be affected by a parliamentary =jerk,'
it would have been advisable to avoid all other
causes of, and excitement to, popular effseveamase.
Yet this is the moment chosen to instal a most an-
=popular in his chair, and to keep him there
bayonets of thousands of soldiers. This same
grellemor M. Clumar allowed to be hooted from hie
shale, and durst not take such a step as to support
bin by soldiery. What M. Mawr blushed to do
mike Loma PHILIPPE, M. FALLOUX does under
Louts NAPOLEON. It is impossible that he can do
each an act, except with the motive of provocation.
Then comes the affair of the Garde Mobile, that
corps of young Parisian soldiers who saved Paris, and
the government, and the moderates, from the ven-
geance and fury of the red republicans. This is the
moment chosen to disband this corps. The officers
remonstrate. General CHANOAENIER, a rude sol-
dier—heard not long shies to declare that it would re-
quire scarcely an effuse to restore the empire and its
absolutism--vends the officers to prison. ALA-
MOIRE, the IMlEMander tithe corps, breaks his sword,
and &elms that he resiaas his command, not to obey
a at ewe ea lnibl and ungrateful. Off to
with his too. This is manspog the capital
apse the manner of Algeria. M. Plounnom, who
has bus nide( sad diatribes for the last year with-
out the least allsed ee bane, s now, forsooth, to be pro-
secuted. All this showsnymely that the French minis-
ters have lost their tosysr—that they have got into a
false position, quite oataaalde, unless some troubles
break forth—ad they seem ressived to provoke these
troubles, and to Ibg the essalry and the capital into
civil war, rather flan yield.
In this mode* we think, the French moderates
are making precisely the same mistake as the red
republicans—that is, appealing to violence in cases
that patient argument and legal conduct could have
fully and satisfactorily decided. The French nation
will have no red republicanism—that is clear.
Bat that it will support for any time an
anabolism that prohibits the right of se.
sedaties and all meetings to discuss political
tosedonseven at " irregular intervals"; that instals
ea obnoxious and tory professor against the voice of
tie university ; and that dissolves the most merito-
rises corps, the very corps that have saved the state
title capital, to snit the caprice and brutality of a
oreer—this is what the French nation will
