FRANCE.
NATIONAL ASSEMBLY.—SITTING or Mee n.
The following are the reports presented to the
Assembly tiering the sitting of the Gth of May by
Citizens CREMIEUX and Louts BLANC :
M. Cretnieux, Minister of Justice —Citizens, on the
day of the great Revolution, when the people had re-
duced the throne to dust, and made royalty a souvenir,
it felt, in the midst of its immortal victory, the necessity
of order, the guarantee of security fur all; it desired
to be governed. Its wonderful nature divined all that
a National Assembly would one day give it, how it
would regulate its force, how it would provide for its
moral interests, how it would fulfil the first duties of the
country towards its children, that is to say, how it
would assure to each family the means of living, by
as,:uring to each citizen the instruments of labour--
labour, the sole legitimate source of an honourable ter-
tune, whether it be obtained by the sweat of your brow,
or by the splendour of your intelligence.—(hear, hear.)
But while awaiting the moment when an Assembly,
which should coelprehend its whole mission, ,linuld
come in the bosom of the cepital to fulfil its duty, the
people gave itself by proclamation a Provisionare- Go-
vernment. Citizcns, it was necessary to provide for the
administration of this country. We immediately as-
signed the ministries among us; we immediately re
united in our council the executive and the edministra•
lion; we concentrated in our hands
all powers The
ministry of justice was confided to me. In ordinary
g
times that ministry is the most peaceful and the most
calm. With the law for
our uide, knowledge for your
support, virtue for your bases, modesty for your com-
pany, duty for your rule; what have human passions,
what have egotistical and servile sentiments to do in the,
y
midst of these grandeurs of justice ? Justice, which
rejoins earth to heaven—justice, which strikes and gua-
rantees—justice, which represses and protects—,justice,
which pronounces on property, on right, on life, on
honour, how take away from it its essence of purity!—
(Applause.) Citizens, the impiety high
places the fallen Govern-
ment had violated that sanctuary. How many
places in the magistracy had become the recompense of
the most servile devotion, the most revolting apostacy!
Yes, the footstool for arrivin at the highest honours,
even of the magistracy., was the tribune of the Chamber;
not a free, generous, indignant Chamber—but an ob e
dient, adulatory tribune, subject to a King. The speech
which one day supported an unpopular measure re-
ceived its reward the next; the more a man
dis-
graced himself by the energy of his servility, the more
worthy he showed himself of the corrupting favours.
Thus it was that policy had invaded justice; thus it was
that an adulterous alliance had been formed between
justice and policy. Under the ancient monarchy, often
was the Parliament seen to hold, in the face of abso-
lute power, a firm and energetic language, to oppose
a strong and honurable resistance to unjust measures;
even under the restoration, the magistracy had its days of
popular opposition. On the one hand, history had
greatly extolled the courageous acts of the Parliament;
while on the other, by the means of the decrees
which the press had sometimes obtained, its im-
movability had rapidly glided into the Charter
of 1830. This great question, to which your
patriotic attention will soon be directed, had, so to say,
vanished in that singular revision made in the midst of
the barricades of July, of the pact granted in 1814.
But, during the tea last years of that reign of corrup-
tion, the laws of September dominated over that press
which they could not succeed in subduing. Invested,
contrary to the Charter itself, with the right of judging
a considerable portion of the crimes of the press, the
correctional tribunals punished the press without pity ;
the laws were draconian ; the repression corresponded
with the character of the laws. If the jury, whose forma-
tion was a mystery to no one, declared a journal guilty,
the punishment was measured, not by the evil produced by

journal. I say it with a painfulgsrita;nnd h notwithstanding

the eloquent efforts of the.:, l oc

cient
hadsuasdtyanienaetdetehfetrhe press,ightsof the press—and
ter of Justice, remembered well—the regulating court
had crushed, by a fatal jurisprudence, the last guarantees
of the citizen who proceeded against, at his own risk and
peril, the culpable acts of a functionary. The law on
judicial announcements presented, in its execution, the
most deplorable scandals. There was not a journal in
the departments whose devotion to public interests, or
the sacred cause of liberty, was pardoned ; the spoils
of them went to enrich the servility of the paid
journals ; its ruin and speedy downfal announced to
all that the liberty of the press was but a by-word.
Such, citizens, were the sad results of the invasion of
policy into the precincts of justice ; for, excepting in
political matters, justice was wanting in none
of its devoirs! Careful of the private interests of citi-
zens arguing before her their respective pretensions—
careful of the liberty of citizens pursued for acts which
enter into the common law—justice lulfilled with zeal
and impartiality that so important a portion of her
attributions. Notwithstanding some imperfections which
our National Assemblies will endeavour to do away with,
no people has simpler laws, laws more clear than our
civil and criminal laws are. The judges make a wise
application of them; and the magistracy, in the fulfilment
of that duty, has certainly no reproach to undergo. The
conduct of the Minister of the Revolution was thence-
forward easily traceable. On the bench of magistrates
I displaced the men whose political lives were known to
us. I have especially done so in regard to those
in the higher positions. Except that, in the presence of
the customs of such long standing which gave to the
judges a character of inviolability, I have not revoked a
single one. Till now suspensions only have been pro.
nounced. A magistracy of more modest standing, but
whose imnortance has been revealed since its creation,
and which in the legisletion which our National Assem-
blies will be called on to establish fur the organization et
justice, may be developed on a larger basis—l mean the
justices of the peace—have specially attracted my atten-
tion. The recals have been numerous ; the late
Minister of Justice, and his predecessor in a still
greater degree, had placed in the offices of justices of
the peace men the most devoted and the most ardent in
their cause. It would be difficult to combine in a better
degree the continual necessities of a
policy with the
entirely natural influences of that family magistracy.
Let us quit the question of
'ehricehle would ou a

persons, and permit me to
enter the domain itself of Justice. The duties of Minis-
ter of Justice have been very great during these last
nine weeks, in which each of us, in the sphere of his
shildSe directionra tion( ) f
wvattributions, has been a rival in zeal and devotion. To
to the whole Government. In criminal matters,

offences, the abolition of otherwise

the laws of September,
the abolition of public expose! in the pillory,
decrees which change the majority of the jury, which
restore to that jurisdiction the judgment of libels against
public functionaries, which reverse the jurisprudence
Bourdean, which authorise temporary release without
giving bail in money, and which facilitate the restora-
tions of one's rights. In civil matters—abolition of poli-
tical oaths, abrogation of the law on judicial annonces,
suspension of writs of personal arrest, diminution of legal
expenses, naturalization of foreigners. A delegation of
the most pleasing and precious
sovereignty—that of a
portion of the right of pardon—was given to the Mi-
nister of Justice by the Provisionary Government inaine•
diately after the revolution. While the Provisional Go-
vernment abolished the pain of death in political matters,
while it commuted that terrible punishment, reserving
to itself the right, the Minister caused the most useful
informations to be taken, examined all the demands and
all the documents, and prepared with minute care all the
elements of a measure of humanity, which he wished to
attach to the inauguration of the National Assembly.
Citizens, the late Government granted, on an average, 800
pardons annually; it was especially on the Ist May that
these favours were distributed. On the 4th May, while
you were proclaiming before the people the Republic
one and indivisible, the doors of the bagnies and prisons
opened to the repentant, or to the sufficiently expiated•
fault; and the pure air of liberty, in reanimating almost
stifled existences, called down on the National Assembly
gratitude and benedictions.---(General movement—lap
plause.) I . would have wished, citizens, to be a to
place before you a reduction in the expenses of the budgetnlrct
of justice; for the moment they cannot be important.

M. Louis Blanc—Citizens, representatives of the
people--On the 29th of February those whom the course
of events had called into power (a power by no means
an enviable one, certainly, for it was the government of
tempests) s,
those, I say, found themselves assembled,
when, all of a sudden, they saw the Place de l'llotel de
Ville invaded by an ardent multitude. A flag Boated
in the air, and on that flag this was what was written—
" Organization of Labour ; Creation of a Ministry of
Progress." Admirable result! It was thus, it was in
this capital, which still felt the quiverings of the combat,
_,,,lo,uotineirca these pavements, on which the people had just
marked their route with their blood, it was thus, that
they came to demand that which proved that their great
preoccupation was that of ordsr.—(Applau,e.y For

them of our want of power to assist them, these men
have retired, their hearts moved, and crying, " Vive la

all the industries ; we have seen them passing bearing
signs of distress, claiming loudly the intervention of
the state ; so that the very force of affairs imposed
upon us a mission which had not been given to us—the
mission of interfering between the master and the
workmen, in order that they might go hand-in•hand
together. Well, we have obtained that result. It is in

the archives of concord and fraternity. But we had not
only conciliation to effect; we had associations to realise.
When workmen came to us to demand the means of as-
sociating together, you know what we did. At Clichy,
which in former times was only inhabited by prisoners,
what do you now see ? You only see labourers giving
each other their hand. Formerly you read over thegate
" Debtors' Prison." To-day every one will substitute
in his heart for these words, " There is a debt which
every one owes to all—the social debt of bread and
labour."—(Hear, hear.) We have gathered on the ques-
tion of labour a great deal of information, which will be
communicated to you, and you will examine it in all its
details. Suffice it for me to say, that the two funda-
mental ideas of our work—whether it concerns com-
merce or agriculture, or the banks or the establishments
of customs—the two fundamental ideas are, association
and disinterested intervention, the pacific and tutelary
intervention of the state. We do not pretend that the
state should become the only industriel of the kingdom;
but we wish it to be understood, that the state has a
great duty to fulfil in what regards those who suffer.
What we wish is, that the state should be the tutor
of credit, giving credit not only to the rich,
but to the poor. What we have demanded
is, that the state should be the protector
of the poor, and their tutor. Ido not know, from the
bottom of my heart, if many of those who now hear me
would be disposed to contradict me. The cry has been
put forward of " Take care of the war of those who
possess nothing against those who possess." This is a
cry which has not issued from the hearts or mouths of
any one. Association is a noble and beautiful thing;
not because it will displace riches, but because it will
make them universal, by making them fruitful ; and
because it will raise the level of the people and of
humanity.—(Cheers.) . ,

PRINCESS'S THEATRE.
A piece in two acts, called A Day at Dover, was pro-
duced at this theatre last night, chiefly for the purposes
of Madame Thillon, who was provided with a character
belonging to a class in which her peculiar fascinations
have plentiful scope for display. The plot is founded,
ilpothetically, upon the return of Charles the tiecond
to this country after the death of the great hero of the
Commonwealth, Oliver Cromwell. Madame Anna
Thillon performs the part of a Parisian milliner,
Henrietta, who is induced by Count Carvalho, a l'ortu
geese nobleman (Mr. Fisher), to impersonate the Queen
of the exiled Monarch; the object being to with-
draw the attention of the people and the
functionaries of Dover from the real royalties, who
arrive, as is pre,umed, incog. Madame Anna ninon
played the part of the " Queen for an hour" (the piece,
we believe, is founded upon a French drama, entitled La
Heine d'un .lour), with a great deal of spirit and as-
surance, and sang several songs, the composition of Mr.
Loder, with considerable applause. In the end, how-
ever, she acknowledges her plebeian origin, and resigns
herself happily into the arms of her devoted lover,
Richard, a French sailor (Mr. Conway). Mr. Compton
had a tolerably good part, that of a tavern keeper at
Dover, where the soi.disant queen alights, and who
vacillated admirably between his republican principles
and his Ilyal inducements. The piece, however, having
little in it, hung very heavily till the final fall of the
curtain, which, on the announcement of the happy
" Restoration, gave occasion for the performance of the
National Anthem by the orchestra, which was received
with enthusiasm.

THE COLOSSEUM.

As a spectacle the Colosseum in the Regent's
Park continues to he unrivalled. We say this without
in any manner depreciating the scientific advantag—s
afforded by that more pretentious establishment,
the Polytechnic Institution, or the architectural
and panoramic illusions of the Diorama, or tl.e
ingenious modelling," of Madame Tussaud's Ex-
hibition, or any other, in fact, of the p ipu'ar
sights of the metropolis. As a spectacle, the Colos.
seum remains, we assert, unrivalled--whether as to
grandeur, variety, or cheapness.
Instead of the gigantic panorama of London as
viewed from the tower of St. Paul's Cathedral, we
have, this year, spread out before the eye a very ex-
traordinary work of art—a bird's eye view of the
great city of Paris, beheld, as it were, from the car of
a balloon suspended over the garden of the Tuileries.
Altogether the illusion is matchless. Looking down
from your apparent elevation you can almost deceive
yourself into the belief, that you are veritably gazing j
upan that famous spot which one half of Christendom i
regards as the capital of pleasure, and the other half
as the capital of civilization. In every direction your
glance is arrested by the delineation of that most
remarkable metropolis. Here you see the prolonged
front of the Louvre, in whose vast galleries are stored
so many productions of genius. There you perceive
the famous Arc d'Etoile, under the span of which,
only a few days since, the Provisional Government of
the Republic stood to receive the homage of the armed
citizens. On one hand is the Palais Royale where
Egalite schemed against the Bourbon dynasty, where
Louis Philippe received the blessing of Voltaire, and
where the young Camille Desmoulins first mounted
the tri•color. On the other hand is the Madeleine, the
fane raised at the mandate of the Emperor, and over
the grand altar of which is represesented the apo
theosis of Napoleon. Now your eye wanders along
the parapets of the different bridges on the Seine, now
it travels along the brilliant line of the Boulevards,
now it rests upon the Rue de la Paix, now upon the
Hotel de Ville, now upon Notre Dame, now upon
the National Institute, now upon the Place de la
Concorde, and now upon the Place Vendome, with
its superb pillar of commemoration. You gaze on in
breathless admiration, you breathe the very atmo-
sphere of Paris, you listen in imagination to the cries
in its streets, to the rumbling of its carriages, to the
striking of its church clocks, you watch the flickering
of its thousand lamps, and the lights which glitter in
its windows—for the city is revealed to you as it
appears by moonlight, and the beams of that beautiful
satellite' are reflected in the river with such an asto-
nishing vividness thatyou forget for the moment that
-you are not beholding a reality. There has never
before, to our knowledge, been a more marvellous
deception of a pictorial kind—it seems more than a
vraisemblance, it seems the very thing itself. You
are transported in an instant across the Channel to the
scene of revolutions and republicanism, and you
retire from the
Aste:ntacle breathless, dizzy, and full of
