dared not repeat is the judgment the words of the ,
act, " the President of the Republic," but they sub-
stituted another phrase to turn the difficulty. They
were called upon by analogy to apply a law which
would subject him client to entirely arbitrary
co sequences. He had seen by the eyes of a friend
almost as clearly u if with his own the place to
which persons obnoxious to that law were trans-
ported. He knew personally of a case in which
a man had been sentenced by his judges to fifteen
days' imprisonment, and the Minister of the
Interior had arbitrarily endorsed upon it ten
years' transportation. M. de liontalembert was ac-
cused of enthuiutic, fanatieal, blind admiration for
English institutions. Was it not natural that he
should regret liberties which France, after se many
efforts, so many sacrifices, suleyed but a shoat time
ago? Was it not natural that he should bitterly
feel the reflection that FlllllO4 who had given the
impulsion of liberty to every tinnier of the earth ;
France--through whose example and influence it
was that the Czar of Russia was now emancipating
his serfs, and that the Grand Turk himself hadsived
• lismi-4sallositsione ke Olmsted
incapable of tasting the fruits of liberty ?
There were men who now proclaimed that France
was not made for a free press or a free tribune—
that a regimen of silence best befitted her—and that
her affairs were best conducted without discussion.
His experience had taught him to be tolerant for
differences of opinion, and he could understand these
theories: he could understand a great revulsion of
feeling canned by the excesses of enemies of all so-
ciety in 1848, but he could understand certain recent
conversions better if they had not coincided with
the advancement of the converts in credit, dignity,
and fortune. He would not fatigue the ooart
by reading many extracts from his client's former
speeches and writings, but he would say that there
was nothing in the article now incriminated keen-
ristent with his antecedents. M. de Montalembert
had always been a defender of liberty. His first
public speech was in favour of the development of
the human ;mind by " free teaching." Because he
admires England, he does not regret that he is a
Frenchman. On the contrary, it is • more noble
thing still to achieve liberty than to possess it. The
love of liberty is yet implanted in all hearts and
minds inFrance. It is in vain that you attempt to stifle
the expression of it. It is not every one who holds a
pas, bat all intelligent moot in the country hope—not
indeed for the best possible guarantee for public
liberties—no, their hopes do not go so far—but for
an amelioration of the pretest state of things. M.
de Montalembert said in the Chamber on a memo-
ruble occasion, " flatirons la societk aveo la liberte ;"
yes, and he grandly added, "et non pas la mike
sans la Liberia," and we all applauded him. lie
would tell the Procureur-Oeneral that the debate in

the English parliament wu a grand debate. The
cabinet question was only a secondary part
of it. The grand thing, and that which
M. de Iriontalembert admired, was, to see the
English nation, with all its national vanity,
with the fullest consciousness of the unspeakable
importance of its vast possessions in India to Its
glory and its commerce, deliberately risking those
possessions, risking perhaps the safety of its tried
and noble army, rather than sanction the principle of

confiscation. A striking expression used by M.
&wryer was that the writer in the Monitessr, who
drew up the paragraph about the pardon, mast
have a trish cns. He very ably combatted
the attempts of the Promoter-General to prove
inososistenoy against Montslambert with regard

to the 2nd of December. He mentioned an histo-
rical fact not hitherto known, that on that day M.
de Montaiembert had drawn up the protest of the
Rae des Pyramides, signed by sixty deputies, and
taken it to M. Dupin, who joined it to his own.
(Laughter.) On the 12th of December, M. de Mon-
takMbei had indeed issued a circular calling on the
electors to vote. But in it he discussed the alterna,-
tires of voting for—against—or abstaining. He ad-
vised to vote for ; not that by so doing " you will
approve of all be has done," but because you will
have a government instead of rain. Preciosity he
had told the Assembly, in the very last speech he made,
that he was " neither the voucher for, nor the coun-,
oillor, nor the friend, nor the advocate of the Presi-
dent of the Republic. He was only his witness ri
that he bore witness that he had thus far rejected
the blandishments of those who tempted him to
seise the empire, and had given to the constitution
an oath which he had up to that time kept. He
added that the time might oome when he might re-
gretths support he had given him, and Ma at his
withessin his favour. What misitosternsibriiin
these wcrds,and with what justice can Montdsmitiet
be stained me a partisan of the coup tretstP mt ,
Berryer said that every considerate man in
Montalembert's position had always refused a par-
don. Cavaignac had refused a pardon offered to himal
in an "ambiguous manner," and the primmer of,
pi
Ham, to whom one was offered in 1844, he&
it to be printed, freely printed, in a Peril
that "it wee not an sot of clemency, but an 4
land that he rejected it." (Sensation.) He
'against the letter to the Archbishop of Paris 4
brought forward to influence the judges. Ha
not chomps to give any explanation about its=
[ lion. The Archbishop wow satisfied, and
enough.
The applause which frequently greeted this speech
was only once faintly checked by the President.

foreign journals containing the hostile letter to be
distributed.

M. Bowyer desired at once to admit in the fullest
manner that his allusion to recent ore verts was not

intended to apply to the ProoureurtismeeeL (I can.
not help adding in a parenthesis, that therein per-
haps no man in the government service so little
obnoxious to a sarcasm of this kind as M. Chaix

Oeneral, and hone one of the very few men whose
adhesion, far from being the scarce of the considera-
tion which attaches to his name, sheds a lustre upon

the allegation that the letter to the Archbishop of
Paris was allowed to be made public from motives of
generosity, he would merely say that if so it was
extraordinary that the letter should now be mod as
a weapon of cane& .

Th; oourt remained upwards of two hours in
deliberation, and thin pronounoed the judgment
