LONDON. TIIESDAY, OCT. 31.
IT becomes every day more probable that we are
destined soon to see a Bottartam at the head of
affairs in France. A strop hang of devotion
towards the hero who raised the sena to the pin-
nacle of glory, this feeling rendered streager by his
misfortium and his fall, pervades large memos of the
people. It is a genuoss popular sentiment,
sweded in favour of Prises Louis by the
poS adventures of Strasburg and Bongs.
Ike, however such attempts may have lowered
him in the opinion of prudent me, they samethelan
tell in his Lamar with the inaltitsda. Bat, even if
his persoaal cairns were more strikingly lieu&
cient, still the paucity of claims in those opposed to
him, the insignias°, or unpopularity of compe-
titors, renderlde race far the attainment of espress
power neither difficult nor dosibtlith
As to the Oithasts Wally and its chief, they woe
sever, even in the best of day., tan than a pis eller—
• something grasped at in the boar of anercey, to
prevent worse consequences. The citizens raised Louis
Palmer. to the throne in 1830, from neemity rather
than choice. It might not have bees difficult kr the
Oat larai's to have won those affections which they
hid not, sad to have made themselves the dynemy
the middle ranks. Instead of this, they became merely
the dynasty of the functionary and courtier ekes.
Even the Prince de Intro/ILL; with all his spirit ...a
high qualities, is overwhelmed by the weight of the
obioquy that attaches to his family.
The Duke of BORDZACX is borne down by all the
unpopularity of Cesium X., which he personally
his done nothing to redeem. H. has never shows
himself, save as the centre of a mock levee. He has
dote nothing, said nothing, and is even repeeted, tee
know not with what truth, to have sunk in Susi ,
dulgence, and to pay more attention to the passers
of the table than the hopes of a throne.
No other candidates, save these princely ones, ap-
peal to the broad opinions of the multitude—a bad
prognostic for the republic. LAYAITINS, indeed,
stood eminent in March last, and had the fairest
thence of an to be at once a porn: and a mid-

with their leaden, at the same time that he might
partly cajole, partly intimidate, and be wholly
trusted by, the middle classes and their statesmen.
LAMAILTINE failed utterly in that attempt, and ended
by missing the confidence of all.
CATAIONAC then Oillie, with no political design,
at no policy, beyond that of the soldier, to

We are sorry to be obliged to admit that
the greatest mares of both LAY/ATI/43'3 and
CAVAIONAC'S weakness is, what to us meet be
their chief merit, their attachment to peace, and the
consequent ingloriousness of their foreign policy.
This has especially injured CAVAIONAC, not only with
the masses, but even with politicians. Although the
fa:Must tone which he adopted with regard to
Italy, wee rendered imperative -by the state of Paris,
and although it was sanctioned by the silent
tion of the Assembly, there still remains thiel)C
that the Anglo-French mediation for Italy was,
for France at least, vain and humiliating. And
