A Member.—Yen have decreed the forty-five centimes.
(Lsughter).
M. °MINI= PAGES.—We were divided in opinion with
seme—with M. Ledru Rollin ; but there wee always a rally-
ing point—the tri-eoloured flag, the national flag. I de-
mand pardon for these statements; but they were aewwary to
resod the accusation of ambition. You would now us
on to ground which is not ours. We will not follow you,
sir. No, we have not said that you have shed the blood
of the people for your ambitioa, bat that yen have eon
seltied faults—and le it we only who have said no P These
Win at the minister of war during the days of Jane, of the
nimetendiminwhief of the troops, is the *piston of all—of the
ri of the National °mad, 0 the whole national army.
w No, ao !" violent dissent, which continued some time.)
whTerthis interruption • it proceeds from an error,
sd will l explain. You thought faults were committed
in the onsmand, when you thought that it was the Execu-
tive Committee who committed them. (New dissent.) You
deny it still ; and yet have we not all heard from all sides,
, when no soldiers were seen to arrive, "Then is treason!"
The Nathan Ousrd cried it in its ranks ; the people re-
peated it. At this moment were you not the echo of what
'wee said in the streets ? Now if the National Oman were de-
ceived, if the people were deceived, if you also were deceived,
1 tremay be allowed to hold another opinion on what may result
hem Ws to the Executive Comtniision. As a member of
that senuaission, I have the eight to say what was done by
is, mid I aril on IC de Lareartine also to epeak, to explain its
andose, I call on M. Any, as M. Ledru Rollin has said
the whole tenth must be known. This question must be
treated above a question of persons.
A Voies.—Bpeak of the republic.
M. GAZZIIIa Paons.—Oh, I shall speak of it, be enured.
I shall speak of the republic. Ah, take rare. No one can say
what may happen ; but I say to you, if ever any one, by a
disastrous ambition, should again go to the Tuileries, I will
p the Hotel de Ville. (Agitation.) If, spite of the opinion
of many of the members of the Amiably, we are not
partisans of your andidateship, have we not the
right to say to ? Were not Godefroi Ceveignac,
your brother, and Gamier Pages, my brother, united in
sentinunb and in heart ? Ought we not top together in
the same sentiments. When you were accused, we cane
to shield you with our opinion and our power, and you,
when we were accused of faults that we have not committed,
did you shield us ? Now you remained oa your seas,
motionless and mute; the reproach I make agalnstyon is that
of intratinde. You, whom we named General of Division,
Governor General of Algeria, Minister of War—(violent
interruption)—you think that here I will not brave your
reproaches. I will ! What did Gm. Canalise do at the
fleet overture that was made to hint ? He replied
that he would accept the power that was offered
him by the Palais National—(Numerous TOWN : Never !)
The day before the events of June commenced a
proporition was made in your name to overturn us. (Ge-
nteel laughter) Do not believe that I say this, impelled by
the animosity of disappointed ambition. Have I not often
averted that I should be happy when I Gould quit power ?
That which strikes me moat is the ingratitude of which
you have been guilty. It is a most astonishing thing to hear,
an assembly which represents the French people, that in
atmewelag Sou we attack the republic. Ina monarchy a man
may well represent the country, but in a republic no man
can have this pretension. I know no other motto than this,
"The Republic, the Constitution, and the Hattori Aa•
sesbly."
Gen. CLTAIONAC —I have listened with calms to the
speech ou have just heard. Just now. M. Got=
has sail
that I hare attributed his conduct to d
ambition. He is in error. It hu been said thst We Owed
to M. Barthelemy St. Hilaire the portfolio of public isetrllo-
- I never authorised any one to make such an offer ;
unties it refer to the 28th of June, a period at which I was
ignorant of the opine& of M. Barthehtny St. Milieus as to
my conduct is the events of June. As to the candidateship
of M. Garner Pages to the presidency, we may have in-
quired if he were a candidate; but certainly he was not
cum. You have reproached me with not having come here
to defend you on the 24th of June • I was then minister of
war, and where I then wee, I defended you better
that; if I had been here. (Trio Bien) It seems, from what
you say, that I courted the propositions that were
made to me on the 22d June. There is no truth in this; and
I replied to those who offered me the power that if they were
determined in compelling your retirement I would accept it.
It has been said that I sent some one with propositions to the
Rue de Poitiers. I sent no one. I only saw M. Adelsward.
If, in the name of the Rue de Pokiers, overtures had been
made to me, I should have answered as I did to others.
There are many members of this reunion present; let theta
state if before the 27th June I received the slightest commu-
nication from them.
Numerous veins : "TM tree ! 'tie true !"
Gen. CAVIONAO : As to the reproach of ingratitude, I
(save the country to decide whit I owe to M. Gunter Pages.
M. Lanny RoLux.—l do not mount this tribune to make
recriminations ; but it has been asserted that the Executive
"nsmierion has done ell the mischief. There was one met-

ber of the Executive Commission—it was I—whe, on the °a—
head, was suspected to have betrayed the cause Warder ; and
whom, on the other, the people reproached with the blood-
shed ; and yet I never mud to demand the most prompt
and en/retie remotion of the disorders of June. I thought
that by joining the troops and the National Guard the bar-
ricades should have been prevented from being formed on
all points. The military experience of General Cavaignac
detailed otherwise, and I bowed to this determination. But,
in so doing, I always thought there should have been is
Paris 20,000. ready at the Sat beat of the drum. I
remained all day at the seat of the government.
More than ten time in that day General Damara.
sent to demand a battalion—one battalion only, and this he
could not obtain. You wished to concentrate your troops:
be it so; but it was apparently to employ them otherwise ;
if not, this concentration could have no object. I defy you
to prove Ws advantage you pretend to have proceeded !root
your system From 3 o'clock in the 7110111i111 till 9 in the
evening I received, as member of the executive government,
300 perms, who tame to say to me, " They are murdering
our brothers. Help i let us have help ! " And, during those
long 16 bows, you left me alone, saying that you would
return in half en hour, and recommending me not to give
orders, lest they should contradict yours. Let this be well
nr.dentood: I have admitted the concentration of the
military forces; but tell me, where tibia take place? When
were 20,000, or 15,000, or even 11,000 men. Answer me that.
Had the man who raked during a whole day for a battalion
any leek of courage ? Did the man who ten times wrote to
me Am the Hotel de Ville that we were betrayed, want
courage? Wen Generals Lamoriciere and Belleau who
made the same demands, afraid ? This is my resume. I
comprehend the concentration ; but you cannot tell me
where you effected it, and what was its result. I cite three
waerals who were engaged, and demanded troops, and to
hom yen did not send them. Observe the situation of
affairs. Oar executive commission was in sitting at the palace
of the National Assembly. Every hour, every minute, the
population of Paris, that of the Banlieue, came to inform us
of the state of affairs, and to demand forces. From three
o'clock in the evening until eleven at night came, were
we obliged to leave thb,pordation without any reply. The
mud in chief was not there? Where was he?
At the barricades, it was said. That was not his
place. He had sufficient good generals to take
them. The place of the commandevin-chief was at
the Assembly, where was the Executive Commission. From
all this it remits that men may be deceived and continue good
republicans; but et the bottom were men who were hungry.
The general has said, that the crowd who were hungry were
incited by conspirators. Well, if this be so, why not indulge
in clemency ? If these men were staving, pushed to the
barricade: by conspirators, ought we not to have pity on
themd, and, by an amnesty, to restore them to their place in
exis4.
Galata CANAIONLC.—I was surprised not to see M.
Lesko Rollin at the tribune. I shall answer him, if we
both expose our services it will be seen which of us two has
beet served the republic. Throw your insults at me ; and
were I a man to endeavour to turn to my advantage what
you say, be convinced I should prefer your insults to your
praise. Candidature has been spoken of ; I regret that this
word has been pronounced. lam not celled to the tribune
to support my candidature ; I am here for a far different
thing. lam accustomed to your insults, for I have often
heard words most galling to my an isms from the benches
plead behind me. (The Wm. general here entered into gust
details relative to the movement of the 20,000 men oonoen-
Mated in the garrison of Paris, at the time the deplorable
events of June broke oat.) I well foresaw, said he, when I
associated with M. Leant Rollie, what passions would be let
loose upon me, and I do not foresee they are about to cease.
