ought to be the representation of every one. After as before
the circular of M. Ledru-Rollin, these two propositions are
exinms; they require no proof; they have only to be an-
nounced. But they lead to this consequence • that the re-
presentation cannot be true if the elections are not free, free
not only from all force, but from al! influence except discus-
sion and concert amenget the electors, that is, amongst the
citizens. That a country about to vote should be organised
by law, established by abuse of suthotity, or impelled to act
by terror, appears to us about the same thing. In these cases,
there is the representation o: a party, and not of the nation.
The duty of the provisional or definitive govcromenl, in the
circumstances in which the nation, when consulted, ought
to ensemble to reply, is to guarantee to insure the liberty of
all and each; to maintain order in the movement, and public
peace in agitation, to prevent there being any attempt on the
part of the majority against the right of toe minorities. Ex-
cess in the accomplishment of this duty must not be called
dictatorship, but tyranny. These are elementary truths, and
we are astonished that they could possibly hare bean mis-
understood. But by the side of the duty of the government,
there is that of the citizens. Liberty has not been deposited
in the hands of the men who temporsiily exercise power;
no one is charged with the task of measuring it out to the
nation with more or lees liberality, more or tem parsimony.
Let each man therefore resolutely maintain his right; let
him, for more confidence awl more safety, add tr the strength
which is peculiar to himself, the strength of association;
let committees protect and defend with energy the common
liberty ! We beheld with joy the old parties fall to the
ground; we should see with grief flow arm spring up. Yet,
if the provisianal government places itself forward as a party;
I if its agents in the departments have in their committves
unlimited powers; if they are to respect neither the im-
moveability of magistrates, nor the election of municipal
council*, nor the wishes of the populations, what remain*
to us? Something more than a rainiaterial circular will
be necessary in order to make us change our sentiments and
conduct. From the first day we hare demanded a sincere
representation of all rights, all interests, all wants ; what we
wanted then, we want still. Penetrated with the grandeur
of the work to which the nation is coiled, we cannot com-
prehend that an attempt should be made to leave out of the
social action any one class of citizens, any more than to
abandon one's own right. To the national assembly it will
belong to resolve the problem, more complicated than diffi-
cult, of the regeneration of the country. Let the country ean•
tribute freely and sincerely to form it ; let there be the na-
tural representatives of its interests ; interest of liberty,
order, comfort, work, grandeur, strength, glory. We shall aid
in that result with all our strength; and w e repeat here, what
we have already written. It shall not depend on us that it
be not said at home and abroad, the national auembly is
France.

The Ikbats has the following on the necessity of
such a line of conduct in all persona as wouid lead to
a restoration of public confidence:
Since we entered on this redoubtable cri-is in which we
Ohl are, we have not ceased to preach and recommend con-
fidence, confidence in the acts of the government when they
appeared to us worthy of it; in every case, confidence in our-
.elves, in the indestructible foundations of somery, in the ele-
ments of order, security, courage, which our cauntry ought
to find in the very tri tin which it in d on to pass through.
If then thin public confidence, which is today more neer".
nary than ever, seems aloattou re-establishing itself ; if it ap-
pears at moments to totter and to doubt, on whom lies the
fault ? Not on us, assuredly. But confidence is like all the
sentiments of human nature—it desires to he free. It does
not exist, it can only exist on this coitlittion. In ancient
times, when the oracles did not speak according to the de-
sires of those who interrogated them, their replies were dic-
tated to them ; but did they say greater truth, on that ac-
count? In the middle ages, when the saints did not satisfy
the prayers of their worshippers, their images were beaten:
but did that render wishes more efficacious ? It is the same
with confidence. Why doe, it not come quicker? Because,
in-teal of allowing it to put itself in movement of ito own ac-
e, rI, attempts are made to force it to progress. It is only an
automaton that can be made to ranee thus; and human
creatures arc emnposed not only of flesh and bonen, but ale°
of Fusions and sentiments. At present we see that those
who do not reconcile themselves quick enough with new
words and new forms arc jecrind We have na inclination
on our part to reply in the same tore. It is very easy to
make dissertations en what in called the fear of words ; and
to express pity "for those good people, those fathers of
families accustomed to live in a marrow circles of re-
lations and friends " and who allow thematleen to be
dazzled by flashes. Unfortunately these good people, these
good fathers of families, compote a somewhat notable portion
of society. They have done so since the commencement of
the world, and will probably do so to the end. Many among
them disquiet themselves but little with respect to political
forms, but there are other things fur which they disquiet
themselves prematurely; we de-ire to believe that words
create more fear than they can create evil. But, Ist it be
:Aid, is there not such or such language which brings with
.t a cdrtege ut sini.ter souvenirs? We np.oke just no no of new
wo.rolto, but we deceived ourselves. Unfortunately they are
net new—this language welch we find today in the jour-
nab, or in the ministerial circulars, is not new; it is written
in characters too famous in the pages of our history. Why,
then, go there to seek it, since it is desired to efface what it
meant ? We also ardently desire that confidenez may be re.
sotablished ; to co-operate in this work would he the interest
even if it were nut the duty of all; but once again the first
condition, not only of the niecerity, bat of the tfficacitrunner.
of this co-operation is liberty.

The Presm alluding to the financial crisis, says :
The financial crisis which "serails hart at present re-
sembles in many respects that which last year so gravely dis-
turbed England. At bottom, our situation is better, and
consequently the remedy which was eflicacicus there will be
still more so here, on condition that it is applied in time. In
cones qucnce of the purchase of corn, gold was rapidly da•
'parting from England, and the Biiik Bill of 1844 presented
an invincible otstacle to the continuation at discounts at the
momeut when they were most required. What was the con-
I duct of the English government? It authorised the bank
to put ..side the bill of 1841, and to continue to issue notes,
even when it should not poises' the amount of specie required
by law. In England, bank-notes are a legal tender—that
i., no one can refuse them in pas went. That simple measure
was sufficient, as from the moment that it was known
publicly that the bank was no longer restricted in its opera-
tions, confidence revived, and the bank had no need to avail
itself of the faculty which the government had placed at its
disposal. We said just now that the situation is better in
France than it wan in England. In fact, capital amongst
us has not emigrated; it remains here as it was a month
back, ouly it is hidden, end no longer circulates. Such
potions as hold hank notes hasten to eh-insto them at Paris
arid elsewhere, against specie. Hence the great falling-off
in the metallic reserve of the bank, and the :arge remittal
of crown-pieces to its branch establishm-ms. In con-
sequence of this, discounts must ho restricted, since the
'seek cannot expose itself to the position of not being able any
longer to pay its notes. But to restrict the discounts at this
moment would he an immense evil, as nestle hail business
more need of aid. How is that to be prevented ? By doing
something analogous to what was effected in Engiend. The
I means of increasing the discounts would be by augmenting
the metallic reserve, and that could he best brought about
by making the bank note a legal tender. The offices of
the bank being no longer beseiged for specie, since every
one would be sure of being able to make his payments with
the representative sign of specie, discounts could he made
on s large scale. The bank note, it is said, would be
depreciated. Why so ? Would it not be guaranteed by
the metallic reserve, which would increase in place of
diminishing at the bank, and by the amount of goad secu-
rities constantly discounted, and which, falling successively
due, will without ceasing renew the available resources?
What we demand is far less grave than what M. Gamier
l'ages, a few days back, decreed relative to the saviags
batiks. After having flung down the hsrricules which im-
peded the circulation in the streets, those which restrict
credit must also he set aside.

The Madrid journals and correspondence of the
9th have arrived. The Queen had received the peti-
tion of the journalists against the suspension of the
constitution, in a manner which excited lively hopes
among the liberal party. Her Majesty is repre-
I sented as deriving secret satisfaction at the attacks
made on her present ministers. A ministerial crisis
was consequently talked of.
The arrival at I. arthagena of the Duke and Duchess
d'Aumale, and of the Prince and Princess de Join-
ville, with their children, was announced to have
taken place on the 4th instant, and it was farther
stated that they had sailed thence, to join their rela-
tives in England.
The following is an extract of a private letter from
Carthngena, dated the 6th:
On the evening of Saturday last, the Ith inst , *butt four
o'clock, a French steamer-of-war, called, I think, the Solon,
and which attends on the Prince de Joinville, Come into
this harbour. The captain sent a message immediately to
the consul to come off; but the ctiquet'e being that an
officer of his rank should come ashore and wait upon the
corml, the latter declined to accede to the message under
the pretext of illness. A second message immediately arrived
at the consulat,, in compYianca with which the consul
instantly went off and found on board the Duke d'Aumale
and the Prince de Joinville, w:th their wives and children,
uithont aides-de-camp or retinue. beyond, I believe, two or
three servants. Having receive,: the intelligence in Afetca
of the occurrences iu Paris, they immediately left and cams
here for more specific intelligence. AS being confirmed by
the informa, ion of the consul, in a veil, few hones the steamer
weighed anchor, and stood away for she westward, destined
for England. . . . I' have likewis heard, that on the
arrival of the news in Algiers, the arn'y and the squadron
there were anxious to espouse the cause of the fallen princes,
it. opposition to the nation, and wished to pronounce in that
sense, hut the princes having opposed the p‘. vilous step, they
yielded to their fate, without involving in it any whom per-
sor.al attachment might have induced to share :heir fortune
or sustain their cause.

IN the Home of COMMONS yesterday, which met
at 12 o'clock, Mr, B. Hawes took his seat for Kin-
sale amidst loud cheering.—Mr. Hance renewed his
motion, withdrawn the previous evening, for the
issue of a new writ for the borough of Harwich, Mr.
BLACKSTONE moving, by way of amendment, that
the writ should not issue until the evidence taken
before the committee which had unseated Mr. J.
Arrwooo should have been printed. Sir G. GREY
having intimated his opinion that the writ ought to
issue at once, a debate involving some personalities,
and of some duration, ensued; but after mutual
explanations, Lord PALMERSTON expressing a dif-
ferent opinion from that entertained by Sir G. GREY,
the amendment for delaying the issue of the writ
was agreed to.—Mr. WALPOLE moved the second
reading of the Election Recognisinces Bill, its object
being to remove the anomalies consequent upon the
decisions of the examiner, who, in some instances,
had overlooked an informality in the manner of taking
recognisances altogether, but en ite discovery had
called upon other parties to amend, by placing all
parties on an equal footing, and thus enabling them
to proceed with their petition.. Mr. SpOONER moved,
by way of amendment, to leave out all the words after
the word " that" in the enacting clause, and to add the
following :—" That the orders referring the petitions
presented against the returns of members to this
house for the boroughs of Bodmin, Cheltenham, Lei-
center, and Walsall, the city of Dublin, and the
county of Longford, to the general committee of
election, which petitions are mentioned or referred to
in the said bill, be discharged, and that no fur-
' ther proceedings be taken on the said petitions."
After some debate the house divided, on the question
that all the words after " that " be omitted, the num-
bers being 126 to 124, majority 2,—when a second
division took place, on the question that the words
proposed by Mr. SPOONEIt be inserted, the motion be-
ing negatived by a majority of 87, the numbers being
166 to 78. Hy this decision the clause proposing to
enact that with respect to the places mentioned in
the schedule :melt in Mr. SPOONER'S amendment)
the petitioners might enter new recognisancee, was
deprived of all the words dependent upon that,"
and inasmuch as the hour of six had arrived,—the
bill thus mutilated was left to be taken up, as an
order, this day.
