II would appear to be almost certain. from the
demonstration in the bureaus, that the Legiimists
VIII, upon the great debate which is approaching,
vote with the Republicans against revision, per-
suaded as they are that the measure, effected now
IN the actual condition of the political elements,
would enure not to their own benefit, but to that of
the lmperialsts, or of their common enemy, the
Democrats. The red journals are already rejoicing
IN the expectation OF majority against revision;
not from any love Of the republic and the constit
ton, but from the mpossiblity of the deadly enc
mics of both to agree. Such result would not
make the moderate honest possible, but it would
make democratic and social republic more probable.
M. MoNTALEMBERT, who is known as one of the
most decided Bonapartists in the Assembly, made
open profession in his speech before the bureau Of
his ant-republican antipathies. He advised revi-
sion by all means, but partial revision only for the
present. He particularly objected to the articles Of
the constitution prohibiting the immediate re-elec-
ton of the President, and prescribing the perma-
nent sitting Of the Legislative Assembly. 81 Since
we are condemned to the republic" said ne, II
would fain have the best republic that is possible.
Therefore, gentlemen Of the Left, omen the doors u
you do NOT, 1t ,oiH be burst open !"
Gen. CAyAIGNAc repeated the doctrine lately as
serted by him, that monarchist must not be ale
lowed, now that France was republican, to discuss
the possibility of monarchy.
Your object sad hey to either put away the republic
totally, 10 establish monarchica republic In lieu Of the
democratic republic which exists We cannot discuss
with All have to say is that vote now against
all revision simply because you vote for it. We wish tho
President to be changed Even il we had just grounds
to msrus M. Bonapate, the President republican
like ourselves would wish him be changed just show
the people that in the republic the chief executive officer may
be displaced and another succeed him without throwing
the republic into commissions that this simple matter,
and often important than the dispacing prime
minister under the monarchy"
NM. BERRYER and DE FALLoUx, in the name Of
the Legiimists, said they wished total revision,
none at all and declared in very plain terms that
by total revision they meant the abolition of the re-
public and the restoration Of the legitimate King.
Some Orleanists, who have not fused either with
the Legitmists or with the Bonapariists, took the
ground Of no revision, unless they could be sure
that it would enure to the profit of the constitution
al monarchy Of the last reign. Mr.. PIscAToRY, and
the fiery questor of the Assembly, M. BAzE, are in
this category. u,
