of feeble mnoriy and the least respectable of the
country What then would be more probable
what more natural than TO see such a party make
use of this name! Is that the reason for charging
Louis Bonaparte with the responsibility of their
acts You are well aware that that in insur-
rection of the 18th of May honorable names have
been mixed up with those proceedings, who have
only opposed contempt to the manoeuvres of the
factions Think you not then that the citizen Louis
Bonaparte may be equally innocent of what is done
in his NAME This is a short statement of facts as
regards nv cousin. So soon as the Republic was
proclaimed al London, he came to Paris publicly
and announced to the Government his arrival in
the capital. At that moment things were unsettled;
the Provisional Government informed him. positive
w. | remember, that later it would not oppose his
residence in France but at that time on account of
the particular circumstances, they requested him to
leave The citizen Bonaparte did not require this
to be repeated in twentytour hours he returned to
London and is a complete stranger to all that has
been done in his name. He decidedly refused sew
eraI candidateships. New elections took place: on
the evening before the day on which they took
place, did not know of my cousin being proposed

thousand statements have been hung-a thousand
absurdities, each more ridiculous that the other,

proceeded to an inquiry, 1t must now know what
course it should take. Amongst these reports there
is one which. beyond all others, has excited my
sorrow they have dared to say that foreign powers
have contributed money, and that the money passed
through the hands of Louis BOnaparte. Never was
so infamous a statement haZarded. Do not then

Government an explanation to this.
NJ. FlOcon, Minister Of Commerce, objected that
the question was not in order.
The order Of the day was then called for.
After this scene of great interest and excite
ment occurred in the National Assembly. The or
der of the day was a bill for opening credit Of
$4,000 francs a month for the Use Of government,
and 1000 francs for secret service money. This
brought out an attack on the government, by NJ.
Seraisres. who declared the executive power had
totally failed in the necessary energy for the
duct Of public affairs
This attack brought Lamartine upon the tribune
and the following scene occurred:
NJ. Lamarine mounted the tribune. He ap-
peared much moved, and looked very pale Pass
ing by the question in deliberation, he applied him
self at OncestO the defence of the administration
He explained why and wherefore the Government
had considered it its duty to proclaim republic
but the republic they wished was a republic Of
order. NJ. Lamartine pronounced this word with
emphasis. At this moment he was unable to CON
ceal his emotion, and was requested to rest for
moment. When he resumed, his countenance was
more dOwncast than before, and Just then were ru-
mOrs that shots had been fired and that an officer
of the national guard had been seriously injured.
M. Lamartine himself announced the deporaDle
event, and said that three shots had been ired az
