wa An impassoned and eloquent speech, but not alto
gether timely quite appropriate in the mouth of its
author For instance, he declared that the Revolution
of February had not yet produced anything for the
people This was not exactly the thing for one who
bad part for four months in the Government created
by the Revolution to cay except by way OF confession
and penitence ~ certainly had right TO accuse the
Revolution of being failure. This Is the criticism
which is generally made upon his speech.
He complained that the taxes which the Revolution
at fret removed from the poor again laid upon
them he complained that there were no new measures
In the financial policy of the Government and that,
while the country WAS rich with money in abundance

The foreign policy of the Government he attacked
with great severity In Italy and in Germany its con

NJ Ledru Rollin is at times admirable orator
some of his speeches in the Assembly have been per
,ect master pieces But be is bad politician His in
sncts not true enough nor his Judgment clear enough
TO make him great public character He can hardly
again occupy conspicuous post as he has done he
ia not the man 10 govern France and II by any chance
he should again be thrown into the Government he
viii not stay there long But at the same time his
heart is inclined the right way, and his patriotism is
undrn.able lie appreciates the cause of the People
and does repeat the current by words against them
Speaking OF LedruRoll reminds me of the reports
circulating on Friday and saturday with regard to
change in the Cabinet II is the fact that delegations OF
men both the Conservatives and Democrats in the
Assembly waited upon Gen Cayaignac TO urge upon
him the necessity of forming new Ministry and
adopting more decided course of policy This he
declined to do he thought it more proper to leave
all positive to be undertaken by the regular
" constituted Government, which II is expected will be
gin to act before the first OF January But though the
President of the Council declined making any such
change he saw the necessity OF choosing between the
TWO sides Of the House. should he become more de
cidedy Democratic enlist more thoroughly with the
Conservaiives' This was the question. II was not
settled in haste Early sympshes and historical $3.50
Citations inclined him to Ledru Roln and the Noun

cressiye party TO the reaction. But mis- present posi-
ton his cautious and doubling instincts and his per
sonal ambition led him TO the opposite party To tina,
