strike—it is to mind one too much of Jove thundering.
His circulars, his 'manifestoes, are veritable ukasee--one
would say that they are rather dictated by a czar than by the
minister of a republic. They are never appeals to concord,
but always a menace cousins irritation. On one side the
people, on the other a caste. What does caste mean ? It is
the name given to different tribes or families forming a na-
tion, and distinct one from the other by manners, blood, and
the difference of races. Where, then, does M. Ledru Rollin
see that a caste exists among us What does he call a
caste Is it the old noblesse? Not only have its privilege'
been taken away, but for eighteen years it has been prevented
from participating in public affairs. Thus, far from exer-
cising any redoubtable preponderance therein, it has not
even had its legitimate part. Is it the bourgeoise?
But if M. Ledru Rollin calls the bourgeoisie a caste, does
he net see that he strikes himself ? Is he not a bourgeon,

the son of a bourgeois, as much a bourgeois as any one,
for he inherited his fortune, and he did not receive the '
instruction which he possesses like a workman, who, in
order not to lessen his manual labour, takes from sleep the
hours which he devotes is the development of his intelli-
settee. In the mouth of a workman, we could only just un-
derstand the employment of the word caste, but in the lips 1
of M. Ledru-Rollin, in an article emanating from the Mi-
nistry of the Interior, it is more than an anachronism; it has
either no meaning. or i a provocation to civil war. And
how can we help believing this when we put this improper
word by the side of these phrases: " There would then be
only one means of salvation to the people who made the bar. '
ricades, and that would be to manifest their will a second
time, and to adjourn the decision of a false national repre-
sentation. Citizens, you must not be placed in a position to
be compelled to violate yourselves the principle of your sove-
reignty." Let us not be told that those are only phrases!
DOI not two words, the words " "magic " and " ennemis,"
collier, two months ago, to overthrow a throne which be-
lieved itself inimatrable, and a government which lasted
toventeen years?
The Steele, in commenting on this bulletin yester-
day, expressed itself incredulous as to its authenticity.
That journal to-day says;
We did not deceive ourselves in refusing to believe that it
was the personal work of any of the members of the govern-
ment. This morning we have learned, and we are glad to
state it, that the Minister of the Interior, or even his
subordinates, had taken no part in the composition
of this untoward bulletin. The superior employe whose
duty it was to receive and control it suffered a domestic loss,
which did not permit him to give to this document his usual
inspection, and it was thus that it appeared, implicating
the minister's responsibility without the knowledge of the
latter. So soon as M. Ledru Rollin was made aware of it,
he sent to the post to stop the parcel, but it was unfortunately
too late. This is the more to be regretted since the bulletin,
the detestable spirit and menacing tone of which we have
already adverted to, is in direct opposition to the principle
of the sovereignty of the people, of which he has always
proclaimed himself the champion. In this character, and
more than this, as minister of the interior, it became him
lets than any other to attempt to impose the will of a frac-
tion of the Parisian population on the whole of France.
It must be acknowledged that M. Ledru Rollin is
not happy in the monagement of his subordinate offi- '
cials. Whenever those. bulletins are posted throughout
the capital and provinces, and excite, as they some-
how :or other always do, an explosion of indigna-
tion from all respectable and enlightened classes,
' the Minister of the Interior discovers that they
were published either without his knowledge
or without his final revision. If such mis-
takes be inevitable, why not dismiss the
guilty or blundering subordinates, and, at all events,
, why not publicly and officially disavow the mis-
chievous manifesto in the columns of the Moodleur
, The excuse given for the presence of M. Ledru
, Rollin in the Provisional Government is, that his
powers of mischief are much more limited in the
government than out of it ; that there he is con-
' trolled by a majority, but that out of it he would be
I at the head of the mob.

The following anecdote, which appears in the jour
nals, will serve as a specimen of the estimation in
which M. Ledru Rollin is held by honourable men.
It may be easily conceived that this father of a
family must have been called on to perform sufficiently
base acts to provoke his resignation :—" The nephew
of General Foy, chief director of the telegraphs, on I
Saturday sent in his resignation, telling the Minister
of the Interior that there were acts which no man of
honour could accede to,—that he was the father of a
family, and that, wishing to hand down to his
children an honourable name, he was compelled to
retire rather than submit to the conditions wished to
be imposed upon him."
As the result of the manifestation of yesterday is
regarded as a severe rebuke to M. Ledru Rollin, it
may not be uninteresting here to give the paragraph
from La Reform in reference to yesterday's pro-

rug
Pawhose aspect his been so tranquil aince the 25th of
February, had to-day an air of alarm and fear, of which
every one inquired the motive.
The drums, escorted by a piquet of national guards,
were beating in every quarter, parading the different
arrondissements, and calling the whole population to
arms. Every one answered to this appeal and joined his
batallion, but what was the cause of this t
In a more critical time, within two menthe, the drums
beat ; then, as now, we went through the streets; only a. few
national guards answered the summons. What, then, could
have happened thus suddenly to excite the zeal of every
individual ? Had the republican drum a more energetic
sound than that of royalty ?
It was in truth a protestation against some demagogues,
who had, it was said, convoked their confederates at the
Champ de Mars. Their political creed was that of com-
munism. By notice sent to the staff of the national guard,
the drums beat, and thence the movement.
But is there not in this demonstration some equivocation
in the minds of some demagogues of another opinion ? Why
such an exhibition of force ? Why e: We could say, perhaps,
but we will wait until it take a more tangible form, and we
will never recede before the duty which our republican
opinions impose on us.
The exultation of all the more respectable portion I
of the press at the result of yesterday's demonstration
is extreme. We select the following from journals of
different parties. The Debate says :
We record the result of the manifestation of yesterday
with a satisfaction which the whole country will partake.
We find in it a great ground of hope for the future. The
spirit of order and conservatism hes driven hack that of dis-
order and anarchy ; and the population of Paris has proved
that it knows how to defend the great interests of society
when they are in peril. In a few days the country will as-
semble to cheese representatives for the national assembly.
The elections could not have opened under better auspices.
Let there then be an end to disquietude in the departments ;
the energy, the vigour, and the union manifested yesterday
by the national guard, will suffice to protect the national as-
sembly against every attack that might be msde upen its
independence. The discussions of the assembly will be free;
the repose and security of the capital are 11, nee forward as-
sured ; the spectacle presented by the national guard imparts
this confidence. The repose of the capital and the inde-
pendence of the national assembly will be placed under the
protection of 150,000 intelligent bayonets.
We read in the Press*:
The date of the 10th April will live—it is the date of
the most distinguished day that the republic counts since
the 24th February. Provoked by an imprudent demonstra-
tion, the national guard rose en muse, all animated, old and
new, by one and the same spirit, by one and the same will.
It took in hand the cause of order end true liberty, of the
government, of the republic itself, which could not have
supported certain experiments.
Tho Union says:
Yesterday was a great victory for social order, since it
turned against communism and anarchy—it has saved
liberty. Honour to the national guard—honour to the work-
men—they marched as one man under the same banner,
having the some sen•iment, the same idea. Let both con-
tinue to understand each other, to live and to act in common,
and France will pass through the great crisis which jeopar-
dises all iateresta without new convulsions. The love of
social order broke nut with an enthusiasm of which no idea
can be formed. Words are powerless to describe this mastic
burst. Paris is not only the city of liberty—his the guardian
of order.
The Constitutionnel says:
This is a lesson given to the menacing friends of commit•
nit= under all its forms. It is a reply to the terrorists of the
Bulletin de la Republique, the quasi-official propagators of
la verity 'oriole, which did not dare to avow its real name.
The national guard. however, recognised it under its alias,
and the entire population, armed and unarmed, cried to it
from the :erects • A has !" at the same time that it ehouted
•• Viva le Republique !" yesterday gave the lie to those who
say. that the national guards not being communists, and re-
fusing to accept the eerie,' socials of demagogues, are not re-
publican. They have proved that they are. They may not
be republican in the way of certain commissaries, but they
de not the less love the republic. Yesterday will also prove
to the departments that they may freely elect their repremen-
tatires, and that they will bo protected by Paris when they
shall have arrived at the national assembly. There will be
no neceivity for the electors of the departments to came in
arms to protect their representatives. Paris, far from wish.
ing to subjugate them, as the Bulletin says, has an immense
force to protect them.
The effect of the demonstration yesterday produced
a decidedly favourable effect at the Bourse. The
Threes rose one franc on 38,t, and the Fives 1 j francs
on 51 1.
At half-past four, the Club de 1' Emancipation des
Peuples, preceded by music and banners, and accom-
panied by the Ist legion of the national guard,
and a large concourse of ouvriers, eta Maze,
went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to testify
their sympathy for M. de Lamartine.
Learning from one of the employ ,;8 that M. Lamar-
tine was then at the Ilotel de Ville, the corteje went'
away with the purpose of going there.
