would thin that it had been drawn up at Charenton. He
admitted tit, iu virtue of Art. 45. the President w-uld
be oultged to put on hi* hat in 1852. and go and iat.ce up
his residence in 8 fiirni*hed hotel. Who would at erwards
be President/ If we had such men as Wa.hingtan. John
Adams, ani Monroe, they would not be named to occupy
that impo7tant post. The Prince de Jcinville would
not lend hicself to it, if the preposition of M. Croton
were to beiriopted. Beyond the Princes, there was no
chance, exc.ipt for a democrat en blouse, who would
flatter the people in their misery, anii promise them
wonders in Lcopian reforms. An enlightened and mo-
dest republican could not be chot•en by the present mode
of election. :t has been said that the Constituent As-
sembly wouk probably be Bonapartist, like the petition-
ing which demands it, under the influence of the admi-
nistration. 11. de Broglie, judging by his department,
considered tlat the character of the movement was an
immoderate dtsire for the status quo, an excessive fear
of revolutiors. Nevertheless, he said, let us admit
that the movement is Bonapartist. If we were to re-
sist that impetuosity of public opinion we should be
very unpopular. It is evident that the party of order
which adopter such conduct would not be re-elected. If
it be a Bonapartist movement which is to create our suc-
cessors, they will go farther, and, under the circum-
stances which would then exist, they will drive out the
Assembly.' NI. de Broglie declared that in that case he
would resist without pretending to be a Brutus, nor
would he votelir an unconstitutional candidate. 'Our
will,' he added, ' would have no more value than that of
Louis XIV. wien old and dying. In the month of May
it might be sail what &dyes said on the evening of the
18th Brumaire Gentlemen, you have n master!' It is
to avoid this tad result that M. do Broglie advocates
the revision, the regular correction of the defects in
the Constiutiot which have led to such a sad state
of things. Watt appeared to him singular is that
the continual a)peal which the Constitution makes to the
Electoral Colleges for the formation of almost all tho
'bodies of the State is admired, and yet it is refused to
consult the °ovary precisely under the circumstances
when that consiltation becomes urgent to revise the Con-
titution. 6lt has been said that we agitate the country,'
observed M. deßroglie in conclusion, ` but it is the Con-
stitution which agitates it. We have more than 100.000
elections to make: National Guards, 37,000 municipal
councillor, 3,100 cantonal councillors, 86 councils-
general, the lepslative power, and the President, and all
this in one year; and because we demand the election of
a Constituent ssembly it is said that we ere agitators.
The great agitator, the O'Connell of the country' is the
Constitution."

The Committee of Revision met again yesterday,
and agreed to the following resolution by 9 votes to 6.
" The Legislative Assembly, taking into consideration
the 1110 article of the Constitution, expresses the desire
tor the revision of the Constitution conformable to that
article.
