All the ministers were present with the excep-
ton OF M. Ducos,w who is at Bordeaux.
M. de Remusat occupied the tribune, to inter-
pellate the ministry on its policy; and demanded
that afer having heard the explanations of the
government, the assembly should retire to the
bureaux to take the measures commanded by cir
cums,ances. (Cheers.)
! M. Baroche expressed astonishment at this de-
mand, and declared that the cabinet came TO de-
fend the policy TO which it had long been de-
voted in concert with the majority of the as
sembly.
M. Berger declared that he could not be satis-
fed with explanations which explained nothing
at all; and that he would insist on knowing the
motives Of the dismissal and Of the restoration of
the cabinet, and upon being informed Of the cause
of General Changarnier's dismissal. Interpret

the time came for doing so, to render an account
OF his conduct and Of his most secret thoughts

dismissal OF General Changarnier.

General Changarner the character Of hostility at

the sentiments Of the executive power toward the
Legislature were anything but those Of hostility,
and that the government was inspired by the sim

had been so useful TO the country He spoke also
Of the profound respect which the government en-
