Toths Editor Of The Morning Chrorcle:
SiR-f on know we arc pledged to tell the truth
the wh"ic trNh, and nothing but tho truth, in the
Morning Chronicle II events b., for us We ,r.
TO rcjoiec and IL asain,t u.s. We NAV hc sad. bt yc
arc bound 70 toll the simple fact. whatever it NAV
be-whcther for or against us. Now this is inst
what am going To do today, with respect TO the
ELECTIONS in France" 1 have Just repcrused ,
letter wrote to you some days since and which
appeared IN the Chronicle Thursday, the 9Th inst
ana ma, with pleasure, that my predictions
wore perfectly correct. In justice to myself will
ssy-to the letter correct-and | have no, one
word to recall Read 1t again!-and then comparc
1t with tho facts which am about TO communicates
IN TINS letter You will then know oar position
and be prepared to follow us in our .ubseoucn,
career OF Parliamentary discussion and decision
Ihoro Is nothing like thoroughly understanding the
position and relttiye force Of parties in moments
like the present. Indeed just TIL, 10 indspcn
sable.
We'll! then, in the first place I must caution YOU
against tho extremes of two extreme parties Tho
ono party has its organ in the Journal dcs Dcb,ts
and the other in the National Ii IS not worth our
whc 10 waste our time about the smaller ii.h-the
mere gudgcons-such tine Messenger des Cham
bros, and the Journal dc Paris, when we have the
Journal dcs Debats to contend with; nor is the opn
ION of tho Constitutional worth one rous when
compared with the statements, force and impor
TANGO of tho patriotic party, which is represented
by the National. Now the journal dos Debats " III
tell you, ana multiudcs in England and other
foreign countries will believe t-that the Minister
has immense jorty for him; that all s.Consti
tutioral Candidatos" are for him, that all who are
against him arc not Constitutional Candidates. and
th,t out OF tho elections which have already taken
place. fms thirds ministerial; this i, false.
II cannot a word more moderate or less severe
because 1t is false. On the other hand the M
honal although it Ia, fallen into an error quite
- gross esd PalPahy incorrect has yet made rough,
And goaorai calculations, with which you must II OF
allow yoursslf to be deceived, because thev are pnr
~ calculations, made for party prrposor and are
most orronesus. Out OF 92S elections already
RaowR. it station that i2T Patriots n will ex
plain that phrase hsres,er 20 Ministerial but onpo
sod to an hereditary Pcsrsge--4l out and out min
l,torial-and Al uncertain. Thus, if the whole of
the uncertain should be given to the Minister there
would, according to the National, be 1872 mnste
rial, making the total 229. There would still re
main use 10 elect since the chamber of deuutic, is
10 he composed of 459. This statement of the
National you must qua ri yourself against adoptinp
for podss myself that it IL incorrect If then
you arc told By the London Courier, or by any
ether 'optimsr Journal that the elections are dcci
dediy favorable 10 Cassimr Pcrrier and his domc1
tic and foreign policy, beg of you not to believe
your Informant and il, on the other hand YOU arc
assured By tho Tribunal Rovolutionist Couricr
Francois, or National, that the majority will be
antI-rninisern both respects the interior and OK
.orior poiey OF the cabinet, pray you also to re-
Jeet the allegation. Neither statement is correct.
a. will show you hereafter
But' hrst or all, let us take few facts. They
VIII DO useess to us in estimate and asst us in
forming an accurate judgment of Chamber OF
Deputies. which, again report, will contain al
least $50 new Members.
In Parie the elections were a moiotv ministerial
and msiety otherwise. Look to the list 7 sent
you IN my last letter, and you will find that of the
following Deputies returned by the Department of
fhc Seine, seven Ministerial and seven Patriot
candidates.
