Cd. the Pope would be brought back 10 t'ioH pN'
and then not only the Roman Republic but liberty

taken. and the appropriation was made by ~
majority.
The expedition set out with Oudinot at iis

10 say that instead # protecting the cause OF I'D
erty from the Austnans md Neapoltsns, OF from
an sbsolutst reaction 10 Rome itself 1t did nothing
bat attack the Republic in a manner which leaves
an indelible stain upon the name Of France.
The news Of the treachery and o. the fist battle
under the walls Of Rome reached Pans on the TN
MAY. The next day Jules Favre. who on tie loih
April TAD reported in favor OF the eHpedit"n'
called on the Ministry for explanations repeating
the assurance given By them 10 the Committee
that the Intervention should not b. employed IN
favor OF form Of Government repealed by the
Roman People, that is, that It should not be en-
ployed in favor OF the restoration Of the Pope.
After shutting reply from Barrot, and speeches
from several members the question was referred
to COMMITTEES whose report was brought IN by
Mr. sena-d The Committee reported that at the
time the expedition was voted the Ministers repre-
scented that the Roman Republic was ready to Tall
both by the arms Of Austria and by internal dis
sensious. and would cease D exist before the
French army could arrive there, and that the in-
Prevention as 10 fact necessary to assure tho lbcr
~ OF the Roman nation bur that the instructions
given to the commanding General did not agree
with this statement OF the Ministry, and the acton
Of the General had not been IN agreement with
his instructions. Finally, tho Committee proposed
resolution 70 the effect that tie National Assem-
bly called on the G)vomment 10 take measures
necessary to prevent the expedition - Italy from
heinz any longer turned aside from the object
assigned to it.
Thus the Committee branded the Government
with their treason mad not one OF the Ministers
dared TO deny that they hsd pledged themselves
not 10 attack the Roman Republic. They tried
milder degree Of Jesuitism the real jesuit De
Fsloux saying nothing, but leaving his tools TO
make the best Of it. But they could not remove
the honest indignation of the Assembly. The
debate was protracted till a quarter past one
O'Clock on the morning Of the sth, and ended wiih
The adoption Of the resolution aud the condemna
ton of the Ministry, 10y majority OF - votes.
One would suppose that Cabinet caught in
such an outrageous aud shameful fraud and 50 de-
cidedly condemned would resign. They go
through the form Of it bat in reality they DO no
such thing. Louis Napoleon has need OF them
They may still accomplish their purpose and his {;
the resources OF treachery are not yet exhausted
on the slh. few hours after the vote of the
Assembly, the ismoas letter Of the President TO
Gen. Oudinot " as written aud published p, Paris
in the evening papers. Louis Napoleon was
deeply panied by the resistance his General had
encountered under the walls Of Rome Bat reia-
lorcements should not be wanting and the soldiers
might always count ON his support and gratitude.
This singular sequel to the decision Of the 9TH
vas brought up il tie Assembly, aud only escaped
a oastigstion by being oisclamed by the Ministry
which made it merely private letter having no
official existence. il exists however, none the
less rs a proof OF the Intentions which have sni-
mated the President ifom the first, snd IS dis
grace b tho nation Of which be . the Chief
Magistrate.
