DISSOLUTION OF THE CHAMBER.

We helieve we can affirm that the dissolution of the Chamber
will not so immediately take place as the Liberal journals appear to
wish. Every one perceives the necessity of giving time to the Roy-
alists to recover themselves ; and we are sure that, at whatever time
this measure may be taken, they will all equally feel the necessity of
opposing, in a firm manner, all the designs of the revolutionists."—
Quolid icons. The following article of the Monifewr has, no doubt,
been occasioned by the disputes of the Gazette and Quotidienne :
"Phe public papers which attack the Government make use of a
very convenient system of tactics. They suppose that Ministers
have journals, and attribute to them the sentiments, wishes, and
discussions of these journals. If they are asked who assured them
of the pretended fact, they will answer that it suited them to invent
it. When these papers use the following exptessions--, Ministers
say ;" Ministers write ; " the Ministry supposes ;" we read in the
Ministerial journals '—Fiance may boldly answer them, that there is
no truth in it, and that they ascribe to Ministers their own inventions.
In private life noose would dare to accuse his adversary by gra.
tuitoua suppositions What is unlawful in private. is not In sso in
public life. It is nut likely that Ministers should daily reveal
what they think, say, or do to any of their pretended confi-
dential journals. An indiscreet government is no government. The
Ministry have not given to any one the right of speaking in their
name, and no one, for aught they know, has done so. They
neither own nor disown any journal ; they leave to each its liberty.
Government is not composed of private individuals, with particular
affections, but it consists of public men, whom a sense of duty raises
above the puerility of entering into the debates of opinion. it is to
the good sense of the nation that Government entrusts the judgment
of public visiters. Journalists in general are not sufficiently aware of
the obligations of government not to intervene in their quarrels. In
their eyes, the only good government is that which renders an ac.
count of its actions on a public stage, where they app: ar as severe cen-
sors. But the King's government manages the affairs of France with.
out ascending the benches like mountebanks. Far from insulting
the press, Ministers deem it valuable, when confined within the
bounds of moderation and wisdom. They are aware that good ad-
vice may often proceed from a joumalist of talent and experience. The
press ought to enlighten public opinion by all kind of discussion
relative to our interests, but it should not excite and cherish the
passions. If by false presumption it misses its aim, it will be its
own fault ; Government will never become the tool of declaimers
and demagogues. Thus Government, in its designs and acts, is
not more influenced by the unjust disdain of the press, than subject
to its caprices. It would be derogatory to its own digiity if it en-
tered into the quarrels of wounded selt.love and disappointed am-
bition, with which most opposition journals now abound. This is
supposition which it disowns, and of which it will prove the false.
hood by its actions.'
" The Courtier Francais of this morning contis:ns the following
observations upon the article of the Moniteur, given in another part
of the Messenger:--' The Moniteur's article is the object of a se-
vere censure on the part of the Gazette de France. Thus war is
openly declared between them. The journal of M. de Villele af-
firms that it finds so many inconsistencies and contradictions in
the terms of this article, and they are involved in such obicus
rimy, that it is impossible to make out any sense or meanirg
in them ; yet the Goactic perfectly comprehends the mea-
sure which dictated them. Now, let us ask, what is the meaning
of this article? What is the sense of these oracular phrases?—
Is it not a declaration of war between Prince do Polignac and ill.
de Villele ? The Gozetc asserts that it feels indifferent as to
being avowed or disavowed by any one ; that it will continue to'
pursue the line of &induct it has prescribed for itself; and will
even defend the Ministry, though they may repel its aid._
This is truly an excellent composition, and at the same
time a species of impertinence to which Gevernments arc little
sceustomed. Observe this, then, M. de Polignac I Thei arc in-
different whether you acknowledge them or not ; they will not make
the slightest concession of principle to you I The Gus elk belongs
to M. de Yillele, and to hurt will it adhere. Thus the most warm
and acrimonious hostility still reigns between the two favourites.
Liberty and the constitution will at least gain strength by these life
ferences.
