time the expedition was voted the Ministers repre-
scented that the Roman Republic was ready 70 'a"
both by the arms Of Austria aud by internal ais
ssnsions. and would cease - exist before the
French army could arrive there, and that the ID
torvertiop was ia fact necessary 10 assure the Der
~ Of the Roman nation but that the Instructions
given to the commanding General did not agree
with this statement Of the Ministry, and the action
Of the General had not been in agreement with
his instructions. Finally, the Committee proposed
a resolution u the effect that the National Assem-
bly, called on the G)vemment to take measures

Gen. Oudinot was written and published a. Fari :
IN the evening papers. Louis Napoleon was
