panic was not OF long duraton; the Assembly Itself
seemed exhausted by lis own violence; the funds
puii,ally recovered from their sadden aud enor-
Gus depression; and although the pulse OF the
ton beat Tor many days with ieverish and con

and the fsrner pcrIls will revive in new, though

out Of doors. AT present all looks far enough.
The two-lhirds OF the Assembly which assume
the collective appellation OF the moderate party,
have voted Together, and even IN the choice of ths
Presidents Of the bureaux, or standing committees,
the result has been precisely what it might have
been IN The Chamber OF Deputies, IL out OF the
10 bureaux having elected what would have been
called conservative members The new ministry
will probably ne formed on the same principle and

forgotten that General Cdvaignac and hts trieadS
have already recorded their opinions against the
int yentlon at Rome, aud their undlsguised hos
'ity to the Russian advance. AT home, with
ference to the political associations and the press,
still greater differences will probably arise. The
foreign question Isl however, that which first pre-
sens itself. The ambiguous character OF the Ro
man expedition, which was maintained 10y the
government as long as the Constituent Assembly
was In existence, has now been dispeled by the
protest of the Papal Nuncio at Paris, and by the
disdvowal OF M Lesseps' negotiation with the
is one of those untoward enterprises in
which success or defeat are almost equally
embarrassing. 1t Is impossible 10 withdraw
the forces without being laughed az by the
worst soldiers In Europe 1t Is impossible TO re-
main another fortnight in their present quarters
without exposing the whole army to perish by ma
lara and even in Rome 1t is probable that the
troops will be decimated by the unhralthlness OF
the season and the spot, The consequences which
these occurrences are likely to produce on the de-
alterations of the French Assembly, and the lam
guage in which they will be described in the
Presidents expected message, are not very easy
to be foreseen. As tar this country Is con-
cerned, we congratulate Lord Palmrrston on the

only instance in which he has adhered to II for
the greatest compensation we have to boast of for
the failure of our pelicy in Sicily, Lombardy, Dem
mark, and elsewhere, Is, that no British forces,
British officers, or British diplomatsts partic-
pating in the folly and embarrassment of the inter-
ventlOn at Rome.
