daughter against the mother
In order that we may answer this Ouess ion salts.
iactorily, let lock for moment or two Mt the 6e
bates in the Chamber OF Deputies, which took place
yestcrday-no further back than that-on the causes
of the recent instruction in this capital.
Let us begin with NJ Quelen. the friend the re-
lative, and apoog:st for the Archbishop of Paris.
He established beyond the possibility of doubt
namely, by the avowal of the Minister of Public In
struction,hat it is not the Prelae who is conspi
ra'or-that it is not he who has raised all this
agltation-and that hist others are dreaming of
politics. he Is only looking after the spiritual inter
ests OF ms large and somewhat troublesome flock.
Let US be Just towards those from wsom we NAV
most dfeT and let us not accuse the Clergy of hay-
ing excited the recent disturbances. This SUPPOSE
ton is absurd.

poor answer TO the question of What is TO he done
Next came M. Maugun! In heart he is a Rennb-
iIcan He makes secret of this but he larob,
at the idea OF Republican conspiracy and saws
that when the last conSplrators of this sort were
arrested, one was youth of sixteen, and the other
man OF four feet two inches Hight! I think that
NJ Maugum had better not have discussed tbis
part of the subject. He knows quite well that tho
Republicans are numerous, aud that the Throna ~,
Louis Philip is only as long as it shall be srr
rounded by Republican institutions. Nj Maugu;n
has attacked the government with force. JUDGMENT
eloquence and honesty. He is quite ripht whom no
says that the Government is feobie-that France 10
therefore, split into factons-that the Department,
are in state of open insurrection-and that So onr
as the Ministers of the Interior shall entertain onn
ions different to his Projects he must expect IN wit
ness continuance of this amentable state of unea
slness and dissatisfaction M. Manguin is for a
change of Ministry! He is right. But he shon,d
clearly have Indicated who should be appointed in
their stead Nj. Mauguin is for dissolution of tho
Chamber of Deputies! And again he is RIGHT. hnt
he should first of all have pointed out the Fleco
toral Law which he required the present Chamber n
pass; since, If the Chamber should be dissolved he
fore another Electoral Law should be passed the na
Chamber would be composed of nearly the same mon
and instead of having popular Chamber of Denu
ties, 1t would be even less so. BY the present law
an electoral must pay l2 sterling per aanum taxes:
anda Deputy Gao per annum. Until these oal,fco
tons be reduced in value, any dissolution wopId ba
quite absurd. However, M. Mauguin has. in some
respects, answered the question of-What is to bs
done? w
Next came M. Dupin! Poor man! He wasso oc
cuped with his own ease, that he forgot one of his
chents-France-the mllions-the eIectors--and
those VINO made the revolution! Poor man! He was
SO indignant at having been the object of a corspra
cy, that he was for the Chamber takinc the affair
into Its own hands, and sad that when he was insnI
ted, 1t was the Chamber that was menaced in his
person: NO one can more heartily disapprove than
myself OF this attack on the house of citizen;
and much do depore that 200 men should he found
IN Paris who would disturb so Illegally the abode of
deputy But let II Dupin remember that ever
since July he has been insulting the Reyolution-ever
SINCE July he mas been opposing the march of the
reVolutIon-and ever since July he has been fer re-
turning to the system of legitmacy though under
the auspices, OF Louis Philip Dupin and Sir James
Scarlet are counter parts and the er-oErios of the
latter would be the subject of the warpest prase nv
the former OF these individuals. If NJ Dupin answer
ed the question of what be done? il was nv advi
sing that the government should put down the renubl
cansput down the agtators, and show itself deter
| Il'hed not 70 give way TO the people, He said in
deed that he would do much for The peoples but what
people! why much for the moderate men-for those
who were eiectors'and for those who must always
have votes, because they paid so much taxes but 1s
thing at all for them.
Nj. Salverte is man of comprehensive mind
OF eoquence OF political integrity; and partizan OF
popular rights, and the of the millions Whilst
NJ. keratry and M. Dupin contended that the minis
ters had not showed sufficient determination against
the Republicans and the CaIlsts M. Salyerte aeon
sed them of having courted the Centres of the
Chamber, and especially the Centre Droit and of
not having followed up the revolution of July His
speech was full OF talent, and of enlarged and liberal
views. He pointed to public iunctlonares who he
ionged to the old system of Legitimacy, and said:
How can you expect the people to be satisfied when
you do nothing for them, and vet court and fatter
their most bitter enemies? NJ. Salvcrte is of the
opinion that an Extreme Gauche Ministry is the only
one that VIII suit France and he feels confident that
such ministry, marching with the people, and with
the Revolution, would conduct it TO satisfacto-
ry termination: Salverte is right; and sooner or
later but think very soon, Louis Philip will be obi
ged mat gre or bon gre to adopt this alternative.
Last OF all came M. Guizo / cannot write bis name
without bearing my humble testimony his great talents
commanding eoquence and imposing Manner by all of which
he succeeds in carrying ohis auditory away with
MN: But NJ Guizot is stutoHnaire.
M Guizot made splendid speech He set out with as
sertIng that he was the men in Office He had
ght 10 say So Tor he has certainly opposed their raea
sutes, or thrown any impeachment their way But ne also
declared that 1t fact which all must admit sYhat
neither HE men rho compose the Iinisry nor their PRINCIPLES
Proa'sed 0ore'nnent capable edfcnding France her
present crcu'stanccs" This proposition he established to
the satisfaction Of the Chamber if the Ministers and
ne men came to the question OF what be done!
10 this VI Guizot gave reply, which listened to with
attention, and received by the Centres with accamaonl
