ration which has been SO remarkable in
The previous elections. Among the mem
bers rf the late chamber Of Deputies, whose

nouuced, is that Of Mr.. Dupin. He is the
only eminent member of The Cunserva

man. and The Jew advocate, Cremieux,
frequently figured IN The same list; some
times, indeed, in Company with the iufi-
