l am sorry to be obliged to state that we are
once more near constitutional crisis. The good
understanding and friendly intercourse which
seemed to have been sealed betweex the two
powers of the government, are broken. The
Legislative Assembly, which, On Monday last, ad-
journed till to-day, is the edge Of storm, which
may come at any moment. The year 1851 has
opened amidst apprshensions and fears, which
recall to mind that this is the fourth year of our
era of experiments.
1t is, think, good for my readers to give a
short apercu Of the causes of the actual dissats-
faction. They will recollect that, at the dinner
given by NJ Dupin to Louis Napoleon, a certain
speech was considered as lesson to the Pre- ident,
who, despite the hint, gave the toast, "to the
union and concord of all the public powers OF
France" nj. earlier was the only person con-
nected with The Presidency who had been omitted
In the invitations Of the Speaker of the House.
After all, this weuld have been nothing bu
the unexpected attack of M. Paul Duprat, relative
to the lottery Of the gold bars, and his success
overM. Baroche, and the decision Of the committee
in the affair of the Commissary of Police, all poi
soned the first wound; and SO we stand on the eve
OF struggle
The decision Of the Assembly ia the afriir O
Mr.. Maneuin has also contributed much 10 the
difficulty OF the position, for there s no precedent,
under any government that a sentence Of court
had ever been annihiated by those who are the
law makers OF the country.
This is pitiful position; and, though nj. You
has already sent in his resignation and tnus cleared
little the horizon of the political sky, / h ave
nevertheless TO daplore all these events, which
have caused so much agitation, and WILL pc n apS,
be the nucleus of much more.
The reception Of Louis Napoleon showed yes.
teIday some stiffness, which, with reason, IN ay be
attributed to The above causes Il is SAID that
M. Dupn, having been introduced into the pre-
sence Of the Pre- sdent, told him tnat he had come
there 10 present his sincere sentiments Of de-
vote dafss, ss well as those Of the bureau of the
Legislative Assembly, TO the chief of the State"
10 these words Louis Napoleon answered that
"he accepted with pleasure these wishes-that he
was persuaded that they were sincere, since Nj.
Dupin said so. and that he had only to hear IL to
believe it." The conversation, / have been told,
continued in this tone for some time, and both
par,ies separated with sort of mutual last Thought.
Another incident OF some interest occurred also
during the official reception OF the Court OF Ap-
peal, presided over BY M. de Portals Louis y 4
poeon IN his speech 10 the members OF the ,gis-
tracy, cunniDgly mentioned that "there were sliil
many Judges III Berlir," and "that Jusiice IN
France was aofe powerful Than despouc power y
All these eoups d'cangtes are badly omia0us,
and despite alr hopes generally entertained It's
