II would be difficult for me 10 lay before you a
complete idea Of all the features Of our present
situation. The public feeling continues wrought
up 70 the last point and all parties are full OF anxi-
ETY.. can then only give you you my own inti-
mate conviction, which is that we shall have war
abroad and peace at home, assured by concessions
to the Socialist party.
1t is true that the first sessions Of the Legsla-
tive Assembly do not furnish any prognostic of
,uch an issue for all our difficulties but we must
not form our judgment from the mere surface OF
things.
The oldest member of the new Assembly, NJ.
KIRArRY, by virtue of his years the presiding
officer until the organization shall be completed
and a permanent President chosen, is one OF the
veterans of that opposition which produced the
Revolution of July, 1890, and in spite OF his great
age or rather by cause Of his great age, he is far
from apprehendng the consequences OF the prem
ises he himself did so much to establish. AT the
first session he co united the gross fault Of seek
ing to eude the cry, " Virs Ia RtPubiique :"
The people assembled around the Assembly,
expecting a scene similar TO that which took
place last year on the installation Of the Constiu-
ante. when all the Members came out upon the
steps of the Hall and Joined in the shout, VsCe Ia
Rspnbl,que' In the proceedings OF the people on
Monday there was nothing improper They only
wished to attest by their presence en- masse that
they did not intend to allow their beloved Republic
to be prescribed. Having thus proclaimed their
will they retired in the greatest tranquility on the
Injunction of the armed force
On this occasion the sodiery acted in manner
which furnished a new evidence of their favorable
disposition and their sympathes for the People
The same facts reappeared in the evening at the
banquet offered by the Socialist Electoral Commit
tee 10 the Representatives of the Mountain. The
managers of the banquet having refused to re-
ceive Commissary OF Police, military force inter
yened and the banquet came 10 an end. com
plete regiment was under arms. The People aud
the leaders of the festival marched forth in the
greatest SEX possession between the two columns
of bsyonets. crying, Live our brethren of the
Line we Ia Rtpu6ligue DemOcrat'7ae ct

Pierre Leroux aud his young brother Jules Le-
roux, a newly elected Representative OF the Peo-
pie, were pre- sent at this banquet, as was the
Sergeant Rather (who by the way has for some
years been disciple of fourier with all his ami-
". All the neghboring windows were occupied
by women, who as we came forth waved 'heir
handkerchief TO the cryof Vire Ia RtPHbiiq"e De"'
ocrat,que ct Sociaie Many mothers women oil
the people, came bringing their children to Pierre
Leroux as it were to present them for his benedlc
ton.
You will see in the papers the scene which yes
,erdsy took place in the Assembly. The heac'
tionists represent It as scene OF disorder ana
revolutionary fury but il was In truth only an en-
ersetic manifestation OF Republican France The
aged Keratry was obliged to yield even Marshal
Buseaud coming forward in the debate to cause
the rights of the minority to be respected IN the
person OF Ledru. Rolin, and not only those rights
but the aspiration of the country which forms the
real power of that minority. Thus the heScuon
has once more been vanquished.
Itis evident that the majority OF the new AS

ground and see II it might not be possible for II 10

What is called diplomatic reserve and disere-
tion is much more dangerous than useful Ia
Republican system. where the Press Is IN
shackled. For many days past we have had no
thing official with regard to the affairs OF Italy,

be much less anxious than we now are, in the
midst Of the mass OF contradictory Letters, which
are our only source Of information. The last DIS
