!know the opinions of France ? The events answer
that question. It is from his labours in destroying
the Journals, which he had bought up, and to
the Censorship, which he has unceasingly launched
against the independent Journals, to which must be,
attributed his ignorance of public opinion. When
the report of the dissolution of the Chambers be-
gan to circulate, no one would credit it ; for we are
all capable enough to judge of the interests of a Mi-
nistry independently of the sentiments which he in-
spires into us. When this report became so gene-
ral that it could no longer be disbelieved, every one
thought that M. de Villele would begin by break mg
up and recomposing the Ministry, if it had been only
for the purpose of trying to deceive the electoral
colleges, by diffusing an opinion that he intended to
revert to a less irritating system. His prefects, his
Ministerial writers, his worn out deputies, would
have had at least something to say to honourable
men, whom the love of ease disposes to be credu-
lous on all points. Had he only given up M. de
Peyronnet as a pledge of reconciliation, it would have
been something merely by way of deception. Far
from that, it was in all his 'Ministerial integrity that
hr presented himself before France, and it was in
the position of an accuser, of one that boasted of the

hate that he had inspired, that he came to seek the
means of retaining the country for seven years more
in all the uncertainties of his destructive but impo-
tent genius. France did not allow him to wait for
an answer. Not knowing that in all things time is
an element of power, he thought he should gain
everything by precipitating the operations of the
electoral colleges, and the result has been as we pre-
dicted, that he has merely taken from them the pos-
sibility of division. Electoral France could even now
give him back one half of the days of sovereignty that he
has bestowed upon her, Dreading what he terms
Journalism, he conceals in the capital those libels
which he sends to the departments, in order to avoid
answers which the journals might have given, and it
is the electoral colleges which have to answer in
their stead. Thus, according to him, the Journals
performed the work assigned to the electoral col-
leges ; and, according to the trutp of thg case, it is
the electoral colleges that have performed the work
that belonged ordinarily to the Journals. The alarm
by which he had been seised, must, at last, discover
itself, in spite of the efforts made to disguise it--in
spite of assurances, always ridiculous where events
are hurrying onward to explain themselves-. By
giving in his Journal news from Marseilles, and
from the department of the Lower Pyrennees, whilst
he appears not to know what is passing in the De,
partments around the Capital, he has proved that he
can no longer deceive himself, but that.he would
like yet to deceive some one for twenty-four hours
at least. What is the use of such an attempt? How
can plain common sense avoid revealing to the most
prejudiced eyes, that the man . who has vilified
France in the elite of her people, is the same who
hild declared that he could answer for the result of
the elections, and that consequently his honesty is
equal to his foresight ?
