of the secret police in 1840.—(Agitation.) And who
was the person against whom these cases were defended—
against whom the possibility of taking away the docu-
ments was protected? It was the President of the Re-
public.—(Renewed agitation.)
M. de Malleville—The interpellations refer to me
more than to the Ministry. I respect the right exer-
cised by the Hon. Gentleman who has last spoken; but
that right has its limits, and these limits are the respect
which we all owe to the man who has been called to ithe
high honour of being President of the Republic.—
(Hear, hear.) I left the Cabinet from no personal
difference; a personal difference certainly did take
place, but it was repaired in the most generous manner
with the greatest readiness ; but I thought that the
confidence which was necessary to exist between the
President and one of his Ministers ought not to have been
shaken, and I in consequence withdrew. A refusal to
communicate the sixteen cases of documents has been
spoken of, but nothing was refused except having them
removed. There are everywhere flatterers and officious
persons, whom I certainly did not expect to see so soon
in the ante-chambers of the Republic. It was they who
led to this demand; but I again declare it was not the
cause of my withdrawal. The Honourable Gentleman
concluded by denying that he merited the reproach of
excessive susceptibility.—(Approbation.)
M. Dupont (de Bussac)—l must declare that I see in
this withdrawal a grave constitutional question. Surely,
if tlie President of the Republic desires to see certain
documents, he need not proceed to the Ministry of the
Interior for the purpose.—(Agitation.) Yet that is
what M. de Malleville 's conduct would render necessary
—(Cries of " the Order of the Day.") M. de Malleville
has spoken of flatterers encumbering the antechambers
of the Elys63; the President has an interest to ascertain
if amongst them may not be the men who betrayed him
in 1840.—(Applause on the Left; agitation.)
The Minister of the Interior—l have nothing to add
in the way of explanation to what M. de Malleville has
said, but I desire to state what is the real intention of
the interpellations. The wish was to divide, to sow
discord, to weaken on the one side, the deference, and
on the other the confidence necessary to the accord be-
tween the President and his Ministers.—(Hear, hear.)
The Ministers will disappoint that expectation.—
(Hear, hear.) Whenever the President demands any in-
formation from the Ministry, the Ministry will consider
it its duty to afford it, even when not legally impera-
tive.—(Movement.)
The order of the day was then pronounced.
The sitting was brought to a close amidst extraordi-
nary agitation.
The Constitutionnel publishes the following as the
real letter addressed by the PIIIISIDIGNT to M. LEON
DE MALLEVILLE, which led to the resignation of the
latter :--

" Elysee, Dec. 27, 1848.

" Monsieur le Ministre,—l have asked the Prefect of
Police if he did not sometimes receive reports upon di-
plomacy. He answered me in the affirmative; and he
added, that he yesterday remitted you copies of a dis-
patch about Italy. These dispatches you will compre-
hend ought to be remitted to me directly, and I must
express my great dissatisfaction at the delay that you
put in communicating them to me. I pray you equally
to send me the sixteen cartons that I asked you for; I
wish to have them on Thursday (they are the documents
concerning the affsirs of Strasburg and Boulogne). I
do not understand either that the Minister of the Interior
is to take on himself the writing of articles which regard
me personally. Such was not done under Louis Phi-
lippe, and ought not to be done. For some days I have
❑ot received telegraphic dispatches. In fine, I perceive
clearly that the Ministers I have named wish to treat
me as if the famous constitution of S:eyes was in force,
but I will not suffer it. _

" ReceiTe, Monsieur le Ministre, the assurance of my
sentiments of high distinction,

" L. N. BONAPARTE.

" P.S. I forgot to tell you that there are at Saint La-
zarre sixty females yet under arrest, one of whom has
been summoned before a Council of War; tell me if I have
the right of setting them at liberty, for, if I have, I will
instantly give the order."
A provincial journal has published a version of the
difference between the PRESIDENT of the Republic
and M. LEON DE MALuviLLE, relative to the docu-
ments in the archives of the Minister of the Interior,
on the affair of Boulogne, from which it would ap-
pear that the PRESID ENT had received a communica-
tion stating that M. Lsori DE MALEVILLE, when for-
merly in office, had, in concurrence with an ex-Presi-
dent of the Council of Ministers, been a party to an
intrigue against M. Louis NAPOLEON, and that it
was for the purpose of ascertaining the truth or
falsehood of this statement that the PRESIDENT of the
Republic had demanded communication of the docu-
ments. According to another version certain docu-
ments had been abstracted.

It seems tolerably evident that the PRESIDENT
of the Republic now suspects that he was entrapped
into the Boulogne expedition by M. TRIERS, at that
time Prime Minister of LOUIS PHILIPPE; and, ac-
cording to the Reforme, M. TRIERS at that
time played a double game ; betraying at the same
time the councils of Louis PHILIPPE to the Bona-
partists and those of the Bonapartists. to Louis
PHILIPPE.
Some excitement was occassioned in Paris on
Saturday in consequence of a visit paid by M. AR-
MAND MARRAST to the PRESIDENT of the Republic.
the anxieties of the Ministers were, however, calmed
when the PRESIDENT assured them that M. ARMAND
MARRAST had not bean sent for by him.
