the contrary, with such protesting such principles
France was at once put her defence, and she
thus attacked in her Charter her liberties and her re-
pose, was not 10 be wondered at that she determined
on commencing revolution against the Ministry.
How was this 20 be done? First of all the Liberal De-
pues met; The preprietor of the Press met; moderate
men and capitalists met; and all in their respective
spheres resolved crushing the hydra. The Journal
des Deoots, which had always been the advocate of
Legitimacy and the Bourbons, called upon the King
To dismiss his periious advisers The Messenger dss
Chanbres, which, during the Mariierac Ministry had
been Ministerial, called uron France 10 resist

really established upon the principle of a thorough
