Msjority against 'Ministers 76
This was not the only check received by the
Ministers hi the course of the siring of Sty. arjay.
111. DEZEIMERIS presented the report of tl:e Com
mittee on M. I.3lLnAuLi's proposition on the budg.et,
which was entirely in favour of M. BILLAULT'S

and in the discussion on the Council of State Bill
they were again defeated. The Ministers were de-
sirous of having the Conncil of State elected by the
new Assembly, but the clause enacting that they
should be elected by the present Assembly was car-
ried in opposition to them.
During the course of the sitting M. LEDBU
Posxiv presented the following proposition, signed
by 48 Members, for the impeachment of the Mi-
nisters :

"Considering that the anti-Republican pulley of the
Ministry has just manifested its, If by a fact which is an
attack upon the rights of citiz?ns and on the funda-
taental princirle of the sovereignty of the peopl-;
" Considering thct the right of meeting is a natural
right, and a political right written end consecrated in the
Constitution of the French Republic ;
"Considering that, by the project of law presented
yesterday, the 26th of January, tor the suppression o`
the clubs, the Ministry have rendered themselves guilty
of act which is a flagrant violation of Articles 8 and
51 of the Constitution ;

" Considering that the Ministry is responsi'ble for its
acts, according to Article 68 of the Constitution ;—the
undersigned Representatives of the people demand the
immediate impeachment of the Ministers, and their trial
before the High Court of the Nation, to be there ju iged
inconformity with Article 91 of the Con ;tituii,m.
(lien., follows the Signatures.)
" Paris, Jan. 27, 1849."

But it is not the Ministers alone who are held re-
sponsible by the Republicans for these attempted
violations of the Constitution; the more advanced
members of the Republican party, and among them
M. PROUDHON, are determined that the responsibility
of the PRESIDENT shall be a!reality. M. PROUDHON,
in his journal Le Peuple, thus speaks of the PRE-
SIDENT
Behold him, then, this President'. he who ought to
exert every nerve towards the strengthening of our re
publican institutions, but who, by his apalhy and his
intrigues, and scattering around him corruption and
despair, is incessantly
occupied in the disorganization of
the Republic. Behold him, this equivocating Republi-
can, is Ito cc.mplained of being calumniated, and who
drives from their places all true Republicans, and hands
over prefectures, the bench, &c., to hordes of reactionists,
to monarchists, proved through thirty years of trrason !
For him even the Republicans of the morrow are of too
sombre a colour. Absolutists by race and of the old
stock are the men for him. 'Lou's i3onapat to has set
on foot the question of the dissuletion of the Assezab y.'
Very good! M,:nday next, the Ai-se mbly will, in its
turn, set on foot the question of the dismissal of tne
President!"
Le Peuple of Friday, in which the above appeared,
was seized at the Post office, and an application was
made to the National Assembly, on Saturoay, for
leave to prosecute M. PROUDIION, who, in Le Peuple
of Saturday, thus returns to the attack :
We said yesterd ,y, • The strugg.e is between the
National Assembly and Louis Bolesuarte. Louis
naparte has laid down the question of the dissolution
of the Assembly. On Monday next the Assembly aid
lay down the question of the dismissal of the Presi-
dent.' The Procureur of the Republic, a subaltern of
the President of the Republic, hes considered this judg-
ment disquieting for his superior, and has seized our
number. Let him seize this alsol for we cannot refrain
from saying, • Tug fiction of royal inviolability was
abolished by the Constitution of December 4 t u Pre-
sident of the Republic is responsible.' Yes, and it is not
we who say it—it is the force of things. On Monday
a decisive battle will take place between the revolution
and the counter revultiiiou—betw can the revolution, re-
presented by the National Assembly—and the counter-
revolution, represented by Louis Bonaparte. Is it
possible to deny this? If the Assembly were dissolved
the counter-revolution would meet with no more obsta-
cles: the Constitution would be destroyed—two chain
bers would be re established—the inviolability and re-
eligibility of the President would be decle.recl—his civil
list would be increased tenfold—monarchy be restortd
—corruption reconstructed—and the people again en-
chained. On the contrary, Louis Bonaparte conquered,
having resigned or being dismissed, the counter-revolu-
tion would be cast down—all its hopes be ruined irrevo-
cably and for ever." _ .

The Reform publishes the following protest of the
Republican journalists against the Bill for tne sup-
pression of clubs :
The undersigned, considering that the right of meet-
ing and association is a natural right, antericr and pos-
terior to a positive law, and recognised, moreover, by
the Constitution;
"Considering that the law prrsented by the Ministry
has also for its object to regulate the exercise of that
right as the Con:titution re quires, but that it suppresses
it in an absolute manner, end thus deprives the sovereign
people of their most important political prerogatives;
`• Considering that the Ministry, by the mere fact of
the presentation of that law, attacks both the Constitu-
tion and the natural rights of rnan:—_ _

" Protest with all their c:lergy, and call on the As-
sembly to impeach the Ministers who have dui% d to at-
tempt that coup d'itat.

In consequence of these manifestations great un,
easiness has been created in the minds both of the
PRESIDENT and of his Minisers, and a conference, at
which not only the whole of the Ministry, but MM.
JEROME and NAPOLEON BONAPARTE, and MM.
VIELLARD and ABBATUCCI were present, was held
yesterday at the Elysee. The members of the Bona-
parte family and the personal friends of the PRE
SIDENT recommended that he should distni,s his
present Ministry, and send for MM. BILLAULT and
DR LAMARTINE. Their advice was, however, re-
jected, and the PRESIDENT determined to commit
himself with his present Cabinet in a struggle against
the Republic, and in support of reaction. The plans
discussed and, according to report, approved of, were
these—

" 1. To strengthen the Ministry by bringing Mar-
shal Bugeaud into the Cabinet ai Minister of War, and
giving or.iere to the Prefects f.f the diffe.rent departments
to get petitions signed, praying for the dissolution of the
Assembly, and to have them sent to Paris, with deputa'.
tions from all parts of France.
" 2. To give the National Assembly notice of the re-
signation of the President of the Republtu (who would
for the present be replaced by the Vice-President); and
to announce an api.eal to the country for the 15th of
February, in order that the country may have an oppor-
tunity of determining between the Assembly and the
President, who, in the present state of feeling in Franco,
would evidently be re-elected.
"3. To dismiss the National Assembly by a COUP
(eclat, which it is calculated might be done with the
assistance of the army and the portion of the National
Guard which would support the President."

These are the three Modes agitated in the Council.
It was also resolved, that the closing of the clubs, at
least temporarily, should be persisted in.
It is evident that the reactionary party are deter-
mined, if possible, to bring about a civil war between
Paris and the departments. The struggle may be a
long and bloody one, but it must terminate eventually,
as all such struggles have ever terminated, in favour
of Paris. Witness Lyons turned into Ville Affranchie
in the first revolution ; witness the destruction of the
Girondins ; witness the never failing result of every
war in La Vendee.

A dispute occurred on Saturday between M.
TRELAT and M. TMERS, which ended in a hostile
message from the latter gentleman. Thanks, how-
ever, to the intervention of Marshal I3UGEAUD and
M. lIECKERERS on the one side, and to that of M.
GREYT and RECURT on the other, the affair was
amicably arranged.
Some heavy sales in Five per Cents. were effected
yesterday in the Passage de l'Ofera, which gradually
brought down prices to 74f. 10c.

HAMB URGH.
JAN. 24.—A gigantic enterprise is at this moment
in contemplation, namely, to unite the Baltic and the
North Sea, from Kiel to the mouth of the Elbe.
Without such communication between the two seas,
independent of the foreign ports of the Sound and the
two Belts, the maritime power of Germany cannot
prosper as it should. A few months since the Central
Power sent Captain MOnIaG, Deputy to the National
Assembly, to the places, for the purpose of obtaining
exact information. The captain has accomplished his
tnission with great zeal and skill. Ile proposes that
the line of communication should go from Kiel, one
of the best ports of Europe, if not of the world, to
Bruntstattel, at the northern mouth of the Elbe, and on
the other side to Cuxhaven, the southern mouth—and
that this junction should be effec!ed by means of a
canal of a perfectly simple construction, without
sluices—which should traverse the soil of Germany
alone, and be protected against every attack by the
Eider and the Oder Canal.

The result of the preparatory examination shows
that the ground itself offers but few obstacles, the
country being very flat, and in no p trt much above
the level of the sea. The proposal that the work
should be carried on by the Imperial troops, who
will probaßy be assembled in great numbers in the
Duchies during the spring, is highly approved.
