Should 1t take place, the united party will be a
most important one.
The only remaining party Is that Of the Montag-
crat!gNe ct socia. II is ALMOST unnecessary to say
mat M. Ledru ROllin Is the head of this party.
For some time there was split between the red
republicans and the socialists but they have of late
soldered up their differences, and they now work
together Their prospects are, however, not very
pr0mising. They have no place of meeting, for,
when The present ministry showed disl estiOn to
suppress all political clubs the Montagnards, know.
ing that their fate was certain, closed their place OF
me etng OF their own accord. They have hitherto
made no open demonstration OF their Intentions
with respect to the elections but the probability s
that many OF them will lose their seats.
1t probable that the election Of Louis Napoleon
as President may be taken as pretty safe indlca-
ton OF the result Of the approaching election. The
new Legislative Assembly will be composed prln-
cipally Of Legltmists and BOnapartlsts. AS 10 the
Republicans Of all shades, It IS supposed that they
will suffer considerably, and that many OF the most
remarkable OF these who sprung into notorlety i'm
mediately after the Revolution Of February will
not at all improbable that in the second Legislature
OF the Republic. the Republicans, as compared with
either the Legitimists or Bonapartlsts, will form
very insignificant minority.
PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, Feb. 2l.-There
can be doubt that the line Of policy as regards
the recent revolution ct Rome, indicated yester-
day by M. Drouyn de Lhuys, IN the National As
sembly, Is satisfactory to the great mass OF the
people Oh FRANCE, dlHOuSn ~ ID lar HOHn Dcln&
pleasing to the National and the organs Of the
Red Republicans. The nature OF the discussion,
as one Of the Paris papers observes, such that
neither party IN the National Assembly was will
ling 10 reveal all It's views and intentions. The
Mountain concealed Its attacks upon the principle
Of religion and order under the delusive veil Of
liberty, and the partlsans Of the government would
not openly declared that; In refusing to adm. ee
Roman Republicans to the sympathy I'D support
Of the French nation, they are ac..uated by de.
-; to reject all attempts at propeg andisn,
which would render ..snce odious to The leading
powers OF EUROPE, and expose her to ne DONNA
ton OF pesy from whose violence she has re-
Gently Escaped, after having seen her finances
brorght to the brink Of ruin, and tire cause Of or
Ger placed in extreme jeopardy: The real question
sppears TO be- 10 France to undertake crusade OF
| piopsgsndism wherever republicans contrive tor a
moment to raise their headss Her great object
should be to consolidate her own institutions, and
Dot interfere wildly with those Of other States.
| There is no reason why France should not be in
alliance with monarchical States, and there is no
guaranty that she will find true friendship in other
republics. There may be sympathy tor repub-
licansm, but il should never be carried to the ex-
| tent OF compromising French honor and French
interests and, above all, it should never be shown
to the d,trment OF the cause OF order and religion
