As the preparations for the expedition against Algicrs
advanced II was easy TO perceive that Ministers relied
greatly the Of that measure and their adj
herents openly stated, If Bouron shall take AIeiers
the Chamber Of Deputies dare not refuse the Budget"
This question OF tho refusal Of the Budget was now
geneaiy discussed-and it was universally said, " II
the Ministers shall demand money, all supplies must
be refused" ~ =
We have perceived from time to time in the progress
OF This narrative, that the Ministry divided into
least two distinct parties; and that the adopted
were carried by majority. In May, the period APP
preached for the sail ng Of the expeditions and as the
months were wearing away at the end Of which il would
be too late to obtain Budget for 1884, the Ministers
discussed the question of what be done. Montbe
Courvoser Chabral, and d. Haussez, were for making
another appeal TO the existing Chamber; but Pognac
Bourmont, and Guernon de Ranville were all i'm favour
oil dssou ion. The King at first disposed to the
lormer measure but Prince Poignac and the priests
were too powerful for their opponents, and the 10Th
oil May, the Chamber of Deputies was dissolved ne
General Election ordained and the new Chambe RS con-
vokcd for the Sd of August.
This measure produced the resignation of M. Cour.
vosier who was Minister Of Justice, and of the Count
dc Chabral, who Minister of Finance. These re-
signahons astonshed no Courvosier and Chabral
were staunch Royaliss and friends of the Boubons
nut hey were moderate men when compared with their
colleagues, were well informed the OF France
and were, above ALL sincerely attached hough Roy
ai'ts and not popularity to the Constitutional Charter
Louis me Eighteenth. Their places soon filled
up NJ. Montbe was expected by nine enths of the
Paris and French politicians also to resign but in this
many were disappointed, and his signature the fatal
Ordinances OF July, 1880 astonshed all sonable men,
thousands a lesson IN
learn, that but little confidence be placed in public
men, when they become Ministers.
Tn the 18th May the place of Minister of Justice was
niled by M Chau'elauze, to me second de Guernon
de kanville!' Montbel was named Minister of FL
nance and the Count de Peyronnet of infamous repr-
tation, was appointed Minister of the Interior ne
place was created for the sake of Baron Capee under
the title Of Minister Of p Works; and on the 10Th Nav
1880, the following the constitution of the Cabinet
Prince Polgnac, Minister for Foreign Affairs, and
President of Council, Sc
Count Peyronnet, Minister of Home Department.
Baron Montbe Minister of Finance.
General Bourmont, Minister Of War.
Baron d'Haussez Minister of Marine.
Nj. Chautelauze, Minister of Justice.
M Guernon de Ranvie, Minister of Ecclesiastical
Affairs.
Baron Capele, Minister of Public Works.

The nomination of Count Peyronnet the most be
soed act of the whole conspiracy against the liberties
| oil France. Persons there might be who could doubt
whether Baron dHaussez aud Guernon de Ranville or
even Capee and Chsuteauze would violate the Char

shtutions OF France. But il quite impossible that
two opinions could be entertained respecting Count Pey-

Cured large debts Minister, which the Chamber OF
Deputies in 1929 had refused to pay he had been fol-
lowed and hooed at by the indignant population Of his
native town, when he presented himself at The election
oil Deputy lie had an enemy in every Frenchman
who attached liberty, or was even simply averse
TO despotism! He had supported all for re-
srainng the liberty OF the press-opposed all measures
frenchng the privileges Of the Jesuits-voed against
every popular plan since the restoration-and had FL
ways been foremost in opposing concessions and even
IN requiring that the concessions actually made should
be Withdrawn! He was avowed enemy to civil and
religious lbsrty-a blind and bgoed fanatic in his the
illogical creed-and friend TO a large Civil List, to a
large Standing Army in time of peaceo slnecures and
snecur5ts, and to corruption in and in detail His
private character in-no compensated for his public
vices, and is overbearng and nsolen temper disgust
ed his party, and rendered him additionally obnox
ous to his enemies. With but moderate talents he
possessed superabundance of staggering assurance
and MS self-conhdence in respect justified either
by profundty Of thought, elegance Of manners or BY
prudence caution, or experience. He loved power fo
the sake OF msruling and he only desired to misgov
era Tor the sake OF producing misery!
