Agitation is beginning 10 revive in Paris. TIE
Democrats are gaining heart little. Their sd-
verssries are sinking deeper daily into insxtrics-
bic complication and Perplexity. Nobody knows
what the French Cabinet will do on any Of the
moltilarious questions which bsset the times bat
every body seems to be convinced that the Gov
enmcnti is not more oonverssDt with its own de-
signs than those who cannot understand tie policy
TIE fact is that il Knows not wha. 10 do EOr how
to act 10 order 10 decide upon line OF action
poorer set Of minds never were bsset with great
er difficulties. What will they do what can they
do l-nothng but blundsr and stumble, fear snS
tremble, hesitate end JIm5ls. One IS almost sorry
for them without sympathy.

their own friends are WeaTied with them No
body cares for them, but sll more or leEs afraid
Of changing them too 5000 before their special

The singular phenomenon Of fear shi rashne-s
frsnhness and duplicity, acting together IN one
movement ana in every camp OF the coalition

without tho aid OF reflection. The journals
Of the Hoyalists the Catholics, tho moderate Re-
pubosns are all sounding the slsuncry Of " Let e:

tho very articles a which they stab each other 70
the heart and rain at the same time both their
mot al and political repSte among themselves --
The Socialists could never have demolished the
influence ofther adyerssries So well as those very
sdvcrssries are demo'ishirg their confidence IN
one another. The bond Of fear IA still. however

Nc their forces are exhausted.
The Republicans and Socialists are gsiniDg
strength in every way among the masses who
were frightened more than hurt by the Revolution
The incapscty aud the ieroeity of Royalists and
Jesuits are manifest to ALL and many minds, who
wish for peace and quiet progress, are beginning
to appreciate the measures OF reform proposed by
those who wish to DO away with despoIism and
privileged monopoly. The peasants are deserving
their decevers in the Provinces, and calling loud
iy for Improvement and reform in taxes and NUM-
oipal immunilies The parties who expected 10
excite the Provinces against the Capital are now
complaining tina, the peasants are more ready to
listen to the enemies Of order than 10 those who
struggle for the rights of property, religion family
and privileged authority. Military force - now

on organizing that 70 the extreme extent OF dipio
matte and financial European unity. Nicholas 4
Russia is the center OF the league. and France
according 10 report, IS not the least fanatica OF bis
sosttors and supporters. The occult power OF
bankers and financial politicl ans, winch consti-
tu.es the present head Of France, is what mean
Ia speaking thus OF France as En ally OF Russis
There is another France which lsnguishes At pres
en-, in obscurity bat winch IS gathering It's strength
Ia all directions, and which seems 10 be preparing
for future and apparently Tor proxlmste activity
During the recess Of Parliament, the Provinces
Of France have been quietly agitaied BY the 81
mutsneous u eetngs OF the eighty SIX department
a. councils. The object Of these meetings nas been
to discuss the various questions which disturb til
minds Of he privileged classes. The revision Of
the Coustitu:ion the reestaSiishmen, Of such
lsws aud imposts sc were sboliIhed BY the hevo-
luton the sbohtion OF those which owe their
origin 10 inst mO-enenr. and the reProof,ion o.
those which are p-oposedfor Immediate legislative
enactment, and vhich are deemed hostile - the
privileges OF the wealthy classes.
The nopes which we're entertained by toe Mod
crates 10 urging rhe eigbty-six general councils 10
express their opinions on these questions, have
been dsmped considerably. The nen OF large
property who compose these councils, have not
ventured 10 give expression 70 their secret wishes
They have been constrained by tbs public opinion
VI their respective locs1iss to appear llberS. and
progressive. Eight only OF the eiehtyslx have
venr1red TO discuss the question Of revision One
has ssked for an immediate r-vi.on two, for the
shortest delay IL accord ance with Article III
Of tire Consultation four have voted against the
question being discussed II sn by the Legislative
Asse Gbly. Ths shows that the gres, n. 5rity %

msGdiins with the Constitution. though they Do
not like u. They have been equally hnid on
other questions. Thirty Of them, however, have
vcntured 70 vote fo- the maintenance o. the tax
wines and spirits. which was formally abolished
BY the Cousti:osnS Assembly.
Two proxiTste events occupy the puthc mind
ius. now ths meeting ~ the Pariis-cnt On toe
