last periods of the ancient monarchy, when pre-
cedent and tradition could still command a hear-
ing. Whilst during the best part of the 18th
century, all around was sunk in vile and hopeless
'tondage, the Parliament of Paris yet raised its
venerable head, and calmly, without fear, in nu-
merous instances, by dignity and force of its re-
presentations, extorted from the despot the plain
confession, though not the correction, of
crimes, for it provoked him to send the whole
judicial body into banishment for assert-
ing that there was any law in France be-
sides the pleasure of the reigning Monarch
or his mistress. Had the days of July not
been of such recent date, who knows what
might now have befallen the Court of Cassation?
Our readers will find in their proper place the
documents bearing upon the state of Paris on
the 29th of June,—viz. the report of the pro-
ceedings before the Court in the case of
Geoffroy, with the report of M. de Montalivet
to the King, and the announcement of the
Royal ordinance terminating the " siege of
Paris." The colour attempted by M. de Mon-
talivet to be put upon the measures of the Go-
vernment, is, that the raising of the state of siege
was wholly independent of the decision of the
Judges. Why, then, if that independence was
supposed to have any value with the country,
should a contrary appearance have been so stu-
diously affixed to the act, by its being made to
follow the judgment instead of preceding
it ? The truth is, that an opportunity o f
ruling without law seems to have had
charms which could not be resisted by a cer-
tain portion of the French Ministers, —that they
pursued their experiment as long as they durst,
and gave over only when constrained by a power
at which they trembled. By this great act of
judicial integrity and virtue, the question is now
set quite at rest, as to the real supremacy of the
provisions of the Charter, and the entire subor-
dination of all antecedent laws which come into
conflict with them. Military violence is effec-
tually put down, unless restored to life by some
fresh paroxysm of revolutionary outrage. The
Chambers must be convoked forthwith, and it
will soon be made manifest to what extent the
Deputies of France conceive that there existed,
in the danger of a revolt already suppressed, any
justification of a total overthrow of all law and
constitutional liberty at Paris. The question is
an approval of the policy of Ministers, or an im-
peachment of their illegality. In the zealous and
numerous adhesions to the Compte Rendu, there
appears to be some ground for distrusting their
prospect of a deliverance. M. Dupin is reported
to have had a scene with Louis-Philippe, which,
for the present at least, must obstruct his acces-
sion to office.— Times.
