PARIS, March 81.
ARE We HAVE REVOLUTION OR A GOVERN
MENT?
The following very interesting passed
between of the leading actors in the revolution
of July, $780, and myself, yesterday afternoon The
individual in question took very leading part in the
revision of the charter, is COOL calm, long headed
man. without passion and without prejudice. met
him yesterday afternoon at rendezvous of polite
clans and authors. asked the questions, and he
O. WELL and what do you think of all that is pass
ing? You have with great accuracy and have
predicted events as they have taken place What in
your opinion! Are we to have ministry, or a re-
volutionl
A. Both You will have a ministry for the mo-.
ment-but a revolution for the futuIe.
O. But what do you by a re voution?
A. Why, mean that Louis Philippe must abdi-
cate or that his throne will be declared vacant and
do think that his will stand better chance
than himself We may take the Count de Paris hut
not the Duke Of Orleans.
q. But why should you take the Count de Paris,
infant, with all the trouble and expense Of mon
archy, without the unity and force OF one?
A. Because we have not yet got over our appre-
tensions OF republic; speak Of the mass Of tho
people-and provided we have nominal monarchy,
that will be sufficient to satisfy the tinid.
q. And if tomorrow you could have your Count de
Paris, would you be satisfedi
A. Yes, i think should for the time; for we
should satf io'al Of 81 al our electoral sys-
vernment Of the majority At present we should be
satisfied with a paramen tary majority. What wa
might require later cannot tell, but the last thing
we require Is a monarchy.
q. But surely, when you come to find out that .
regency is As expensive as monarchy, and open to
more ntrgaes, you will be for getting rid Of that al
so, and coming to republcl
A. That IS possible-but for the nome nj the pre-
gramms is a nominal monarchy, and parliamentary
majority. Our electoral system is so radically bad
that il must be changed The country teels this. It
is the only thing it thoroughly understands. With
Louis Philippe the Duke Of Orleans we shall not
get the electoral system require, and therefore
want nominal monarchy.
O. And IL you had your Count dc Paris as tho
nominal monarchy and your electoral system wholly
changed as TO let in the capacities as you Gals
them, would you be satisfied then!
A. In all cases must have war. That is indis3
penssble. IL Louis Philippe had made five
years ago, he would not have been in these embarras
ments now. War Is essential to us. We shall tear
each other to pieces Of these days m we do not
have war. We are all sick Of each other We have
no confidence in each other Oar public men do not
inspire with confidence. We must have war; to
bring forth and new energies. With war; we
should new generation OF men entirely, and the
country would have chiefs in whom she would trust
Ii any man of genius and courage should rise up in
the midst Of these events who would cry Crosstha
Alps"-to Italy, Gross the Rhine"-to Germany
he would have 100000 men at his back in an hours
time. We must have war.
q. Do yoa think Losis Napoleon has any chance
OF success in such an EVENT.
A. His chances excellent account Of the
name he bears. You must remember that the army
is all Bonspartst now-oicers AID men, to the last
demand war, and the Of Napoleon would be
every thing for them. We do not want liberty in
France-we only want equality.
q. What an avowal! So, after q revolution Of so
years, you do not want bertyf
A. No; and never did. DO not deceive yourselc
