PRIVATI COI

OF VII MOSIONO HIRAM

The temporary building in which the Deputies are to hold their
sittings during the &Woo of 1830 will be ready at the time pre-
scribed to the contractor—Sunday next.
Instead of relaxing in their proceedings, Ministers begin to dis-
play energy. The prosecutions of Journalists increase. The pis-
vincial Press is new pursued with as much activity as was that of
Paris, until repeated cosviction. taught the metropolitan Editors
the nece.sity fur prudence. Ali these circumstances, proving the
. determination of the Ministry to brave the coming storm, have at
length convinced the Opposition that It is full time that they should
be re-organised, and arrange their plan for the ensuing campaign.
The Liberal Deputies are accordingly hastening to the capital, and
very soon will it be known what prospect they have of success in
their proposed effort to dislodge the Ministers. No defections, no
ratting., from the ranks of the Liberaux, have been yet announced
but Prince Polignac must have made his calculations ere this, and
reckoned on a majority also, or he would have taken steps to en-
sure one that would long slate have transpired.
Among the proofs of the resolution of Ministers to remain in
office, I have alluded to the ettecution of the Press. A day or
two since, it was reported that mlldneu and forbearance would be
substituted for the rancour and perseverance with which the Liberal
Journals have beta attacked. It was eves said that the appeal of
M. Chatelain, one of the responsible Editors of the (bonier Pam.
cab, and one of the ablest of the Opposition writers, would be al-
lowed to succeed ; but either the report was unfounded. or
Mi-
nisters hale bad a new access of provocation, for the appeal of M.
Machin will, when called on to-morrow, be resisted, and bis sa-
tanic of fine and three months' imprisonment affirmed.
