FRANCE.

The Constitutionnel publishes
,the following article
by M. Veron. • It may be considered,es the official
programme of the Presidential policy. After alluding
to the various articles which have appeared in.
Bourbonist journals on the subject of the revision of
the Constitution, the Constitutionnel thus proceeds :
" The President of the Republic, who has himself
visited more than one of our provinc s, has understood
the wishes and the wants of all France. We may be
sure that he will give neither pretext to the complaints,
nor to the least founded distrust. In separating
himself from General d'Hautpoul, Louis Napoleon
Bonaparte had only one object, that of imparting to
his Government additional strength by a greater unity
of views of principles and of sentiments. If we are
well inf,rmed, a society, that of the Dix DicemLre,
which has been loaded with just or unmerited accusa-
tions, will be shortly dissolved, and as no mission has
ever been given to this society, and as it has never itself
conceived any of the projects which have been imputed
to it, tnis measure will be only a pure and simple annul-
lation of all the requisitories and charges directed
against it. As to the question cf the prorogation of powers,
which forms the knot of the state of affairs, the President
of the Republic will not be the first to touch it. He is the
only man in France, who since the revolution has
had to take au oath, and as an honest man he will ob-
serve it. It will be for the Assembly to release him from
the oath he has sworn. Thus, on returning from the
country and from travelling, the President of the Re-
public on the one hand, and we hope the Nadi:mat As-
sembly on the other, will be the faithful interpreters and
the devoted ministers et the wishes of the country, in
avoiding all differences, all collisions, and all shocks for
the present. As to the question of the future of France,
Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, bound by an oath, must and
will remain passive and inactive without endeavouring to
break or qualify it."
General Fabvier who, shortly before the proroga-
tion of the As,embly, brought forward a proposition
for the release of Ab i-el-Kader which was rejected, is
at present at the Chateau d'Amboise, visiting the il- '
lustrious captive, who, it is said, thanked him warmly
for the interest he bad shown on his account. It is
the intention of the General to bring forward another
proposition on the subject, and his visit to Amboise is
for the purpose of procuring documents in support
of it.
The Presse says

"It now appears beyond a doubt that the electors of
all shades (.f democratic opinion in the department du
Nord, will abstsin from co-operating indirectly in the
ratification of the law of the 31st May. M. Lahitte,
Minister of Foreign Affairs, will then be the sole candi-
date. But the article 13 of the law of the 31st May re-
quires, for the validity of the ballot, that the candidate
shall obtain at least the fourth part of the totsl number
of names on the electoral lists of the department. Will
M. Lahitte obtain the fourth part? Such is the ques-
tion now laid down." _ _ _

M. Senard, who was Minister of the Interior under
General Cavaignac, has addressed a letter to the
Sicle, denying the statement made in the pamphlet
of M. Tirel, relative to his using one of the carriages
of the ex-royal family. Ile states that during the
time he was in office he hired the carriage which he
used from a coachmaker, and paid for it out of his
private purse. He further states that in the public
accounts which were submitted to him for examina-
tion he had found several items which he regarded
as connected with himself personally, and which he
had struck out and paid for himself, notwithstanding
the assertions of many of his friends, who said that it
had been always cu.tomary to charge them amongst
the public expenditure.
