on the ensemble of the plan which it put forth that
the dissension broke out. The Cabinet neither
wished for peace at any price, nor for war at
the same rate ; but it wished, supported by an arms

simple remark, that the armaments of France not being
any ease having become manifest, it is no longer possible
to negotiate in an efficacious manner.
M. de Ressigeac declared that in his opinion the honour
of France seas not compromised, and he grounded. himself
on the note of Oct. 8, by which, said he, M. Tillers had
abandoned Syria.
M. Thiers Protested with great warmth against the sense
attributed to the note of the 8:h of October. That mote,
said he, the result of a Cabinet question, was discussed at
great length, and I am perfectly well aware of the sense of
it. It was a reply to the act of deposition decreed by the
Porte against the Viceroy. It was a protest made, in case
of war being threatened, against the idea which there might
have been of destroying the Viceroy's existence. With
respect to the question of boundaries, it carefully reserved
ft, for it stated expressly that the fate of the present war
might vary the territorial boundary which in Syria would
separate the Sultan's and the Viceroy's estates. And that
note contained such a serious and momentous resolution
that it even became a Cabinet question. If, on the other
hand, as it is put forth, it contained the abandonment of
Syria, it would have contained the immediate and ccm-
plete solution of the Eastern question ; whence, if France
had declared that she abandoned Syria, peace was signed
at the very instant, since the Treaty of the 15th of July,
together with its consequences, was acceded to. The
proof that it did not contain the abandonment of Syria is
that the concession exists still entire, and remains so at the
present time. I abstain from passing any comment on my
successors, and as to what they wish to do; but I will not
allow an act of my administration to be resorted to in order
to cover what is wished to be done after after me.
M. Thiers spoke for an hour.
SIXTH BUREAU.
Marshal Sebastiani contended that France had entered
into no engagement with Mehemet All or his son. What
France desired was the power of the Ottoman empire, and
not the aggrandisement of the Pacha of Egypt. •
M. Lacrosse was of a different opinion.
M. Dubois said that in the absence of the documents
connected with the negotiations it was difficult to offer an
opinion as to the policy of the late Cabinet.
M. 'Pests observed that the new Cabinet had been re-
proached with having expressed a desire for peace in the
Speech from the throne. This desire, however, was sin-
cere, and he was not ashamed to avow It ; but it would
not be purchased by dishonour. If the honour of France
or the equilibrium of Europe should be in danger, France
would know how to meet the necessity for war. The lion,
Minister denied that any promise of support had ever boot
given to the Paella of Egypt.
SEVENTH BULEAc.
General Jacquerninot approved of the energetic mea-
sures taken by the late Ministry, but reproached them with
not having employed the navy more extensively. France
had not a single line-of-battle ship off the Syrian coast.
Ho deplored the isolated situation of FIRIICC, and the diffi-
cult situation of the Government, without a single ally.
M. Gustave de Beaumont asked whether the Sultan
could ba considered as anything else than as a porter keep-
ing the keys of Constantinople, and whether there were
not imminent danger of England getting possession of the
Isthmus of Su. z ?
M. B gnon wished that the speech had been rather more
firm anti explicit.
M. Curtin Gridaine, Mini-ter of Commerce, remarked
that the Government had not made an engagement ler its
own line of policy by stopping Ibrahim Pacha after the
battle of lalazib. As for the actual conduct of the Cabi-
net, it had assumed the line laid down in the note of the
8 h of October, when the events of Syria were known,
and were not considered as amounting to a case of war.
There was a coolness between the Four Powers and
France, but France had not been insulted.
M Gemini was sorry to see the influence diminished in
the East, and he regretted that France had not accep.cd
the proposition of England, made before the coming into
office of the Ministry of 12th May, to unite the French
with the English fleet in the Dardanelles, because from
that period the cooling of the feeling of England %I'd& to
be dated.
M. Cunin Gridainc explained that no proposition rela-
tive to entering the Dardanelles had been made by Eng-
land. (This denial produced a strong sensation in the
bureau.)
M. Roger condemned the policy of the Government as
unworthy of the nation.
M. Chambolle replied to General Jacqueminot, and de-
fended the policy of M. Thiers.
EIGHTH BUREAU.
M. Ladoucette called upon M. Guizot for an explanation
of the conduct of the Government with respect to the Lou-
don treaty.
M. Guizot replied that he could only give explanation
on the past. His position imposed upon him the utmost
reserve.
M. Ladoucctte asked whether France had not promised
assistance to the Pacha ?
M. Guizot replied that no Cabinet, at any period, entered
into any engagement with the Pacha.
M. Lanyer wished to know whether the policy of the
Ist of March was not different from that of the 12th of
May ; whether the French Government was not warned in
time of the probable conclusion of the London Treaty ;
what were the causes which have prevented France from
taking part in the European arrangement?
M. Guizot gave the explanations required by M. Lanver.
The Ministries of the 12th of May and of the let of March
both sought to resolve the question by negotiations. The
Treaty of the 15th of July was nothing unforeseen for
France; it was perfectly well known that if five could not

were made, but they all failed.
M. Billant said that England proposed an alliance to
the Cabinet of the 12th of May, in order to treat the
Eastern question. England at a late period concluded
with Russia that which the Cabinet of the Path of May
rciused. The Cabinet of the Ist of March did, after the
15th of July, what a firm and prudent policy imposed upon
it. lie wished for France to assume a more formidable
position.
M. Guizot replied to M. Billant, that in the opinion of
the present Cabinet the maintenance of the Pacha was
not the question. The speech of the Crown was explicit
in that respect. The Cabinet admitted the note of the Bth
of October. With respect to the question of armaments,
the Cabinet did not coincide with the views of its pre-
decessors. The measures which had been already
adopted in order to attain more than 480,000 men appeared
sufficient to treat honourably for peace. In the present
state of things there was no necessity for further armaments.
The Cabinet of the Ist of March wished to put on foot
150,000 men more. It was the first step for war. If die
two Cabinets agreed in many points on the late policy,
there was between them a difference of appreciation as to the
future. The preceding Cabinet looked upon war as alt
but inevitable, whilst the new Cabinet believed in the pos-
sibility of maintaining peace with honour. A difference in
the line of conduct necessarily resulted from that difference
in the nature of viewing the future.
M. Dupin approved of the language of the Crown. It
did riot exclude war in the case where the interest and
honour of France would impose it.
NINTH RUREAU.
M. de Carne attempted to trace the origin of the
Treaty of the 15th of July, and declared that England
in becoming a party to it, gave her adhesion to the prin.
ciple of partition in the East.
M. Janvier, in reply to M. Berville, refuted the at-
tack:: which had been made upon the Ministry of the 12th
of May, and threw all the responsibility of the present
position upon the Cabinet of the Ist of March. He dwelt
with great force upon what he styled the want of fore-
sight, the illusions, the rashness, awd the rearactations of
the policy of M. Thiers.
The bureaux also elected the Committees upon peti-
tions and accounts. They are thus composed :—Petitions,
M. Dugabee, the Marquis de Malleville, M. Charamaule,
M. Lahaie-Jousselin, M. Enouf, M. Oger, M. Vigier, M.
Meilheurat, and M. I3eudin. Accounts, MM. Luneau,
Croissant, Ab. Dubois, Meynadier, Pedro- Lacaze, Din-
trans, de Lagrange, de l'Espinasse, and the Baron Haller..
