a!nnr-bn' every one Is asking this question, What
Is to be done?
We'll, then this question implies th, sxis,cnce NJ

NOT DC put by every anc did every ono feel that
.omethlng must be done And this Is, indeed. u
fact. Something must DO done or we shall 6gbt
again IN the streets NJ Paris; aud that not IN over
turn an obnoxious Dynasty. mud to drive away tho
soldiers OF opprcssors, but there will DO Civil War
and the father will rise against the son and ,h,
daughter against the mother.
In order that we may answer this quest ion s,tis
factoriy let us look for or two at tho do
bates IN the Chamber of Deputies. which took plnc
yesterday-no further back than that-ou the canso,
OF the recent insurrection IN tins capital
Let US begin with M. Queen. the friend tho no
latve, and apologs, for the Archbishop Of Paris,
tie established beyond the possibility ct doubt
namely, by the avowal of the Minister of Public In
structon-that 1t Is not the Preate " lo is a consni
raior-that i, is not he who has raised all nh.
agiiation-and that whilst others are dreum,ng of
politics. he Is only looking after the spiritual inter
ests OF his large and somewhat oubesome Aock.
Let us be just towards those from whom wo mnv
most differ aud let not accuse the CLERGY of bov
ing excited the recent Disturbances. THIS soppo.i-
tion is absurd.

Keratry! with his grand specific for all the evils of
France. What, think you, was his remedy, Tell
not IN Ea'i-and publish 1t not in the papers Of

thcless man OF talent, advised ss SOVEREIGN

Palace of the Tuileries!! He has however an
auxiliary remedy should the first not produce a
complete cure; and thai is Ito refuse permssion Ia

at the idea of Republican conspiracy and snvs
that when the last conspivators of this sort were
arrested, one was youth of sixteen, and the other
n man Of four feet two inches high. | think TINT
Nj. Mauguln had better not have discussed this
part OF the subject. lie knows quite well that the
Republicans are numerous, aud that the Throne NJ
Louis Philip only long as it shall he sur
rounded by Republican institutions. NJ Mauoun
has attacked the government with force, juGament
eloquencc and honesty. He is quite right when he
says that the Government is feeble-that France is
therefore, split into factions-that the Department,
are IN state of open lnsurrectIon-and that 80 ono
the Ministers Of the Interior shall entertain onn
ions different to his Projects. he expect to wit
ness continuance of this lamcntabc state of uncn
siness and dissatisfaction. NJ. AIauguin is for n
change of Ministry He is right. But he should
clearly have Indicated who should be appointed in
their stead. Nj. Maugun is for dissolution of the
i Chamber of Deputies! And again he is right: hut
he should first of all have pointed out the E,oc
|
toral Law which he required the present Chamber to
pass; since. if the Chamber should be dissolved be-
fore another Electoral Law should be passed. the new
Chamber would be composed of nearly the same men,
and instead of having popular Chamber of Dspu-
/ ties, II would be even less BY the present law
all electoral must pay El2 sterling per aanum tnxes;
and Deputy Gao per annum. Until these qalifica-
tons be reduced in value, any dissolut ION would be
quite absurd However, NJ Mauguin has in come
respects, answered the question CIV hat is to be
done'
/ Next came NJ. Dupini Poor man. He was so oc
cuped with his ease, that he forgot one of his
! chents-France-thc millions --the electors-apd
those who made the revolutions! Poor man! He was
so indignant at having been the object of a conspira-
! cy, that he for the Chamber taking the affair
It's hands, and said, that when he was usul
ted 1t was the Chamber that was menaced in his
person! No one can more heartily dsapproye than
myself, Of this attack the house of citizen;
and much do dcplore that 200 men should be found
in Paris who would disturb Illegally the abode of
a deputy But let NJ Dupin remember. that ever
since July he has been Insulting the Revolutlon-eyer
since July he has been opposing the march of tho
revoluon--and ever since July he has been for re-
turning TO the system oflegItlmacy though under
the auspices, of Louis Philip. Dupn and Sir James
Scarlet are counicrplrts, and the er-orios of the
latter would be tho subject of the praise by
the former of these individuals. If NJ. Dupin answer
cd the question Of what be dOne it was by advi
sing that the government should put down the rcpubli
cans-put down the ngItators, and show itself deter
mined not TO give way the people. lie said in.
deed that he would do much for the people, but what
p ople? why much for the moderate mentor those
who were eectors'und for those who must always
have votes because they paid much taxes; but as
for the millions, why, NJ Dupn is for doing just no
thing at all for them.
NJ. Saivcr,c Is man Of comprehensive mind
OF coqu"nce, Of political integrity; and partizan Of
popular rights and the cause of the millions. Whilst
! NJ. Kera'ry and NJ. Dupin coDtcndcd that the minis
teTs had not showed sufficient determination against
tho Republicans and the Cailiss, ~. Saverte uccu.
sed them Of having courted the Centres Of the
Chamber, and especially the Centre Drot, and of
not having followed up the revolution Of July. His
speech full of talent, and Of enlarged and liberal
views. lie pointed to public functonaries, who be-
longcd 10 inc old system of Legitimacy, and said:
How can you expect tho people 10 be satisfied when
you do nothing for them, and yet court and fattcr
their most bitter enemies VI Salvcrto is of tho
opinion tina, an Extreme Gauchc Ministry is the only
ono that wl suit France; and he feels confident that
such ministry, marching with the people, and with
the Revolut on, would conduct 1t a satisfacto-
ry termination: NJ Savcrtc IL right; and sooner or
