One other instance shall close extracts from the
Mone containing the record of the proceedings Of the
General Councils The last dispatches have nearly come
in. OF the eighysx departments but two three re-
main to be heard FROM All have passed resolutions tend
ing to the end. In instance has the shadow of
reproof of disapprobation been emitted In
instance has the which might be implied
from silence been permitted. In word, the demon
straon of the Councils General has been perfectly salts
factory to the Elysee and its courtiers.
Here the resolves passed in the department Of
Puyde Dome whose council provided by the ceebrat
ed Minister De MoRNY uterine brother of the Prince
Louis NAPOLEON The appointment of his brother to the
Presidency of the CounclGeneral of Puy-de-Dome is
proof of the uninterrupted aternal relations between
Louis Napoleon and De Morny; and the continued with
holding from De Morny of all political functions evnces
perhaps the continued pressure private family nu
of which have spoken in former letters having
determined his temporary elimination retirement from
public affairs say temporary retirement, for antci
pate of the defeat Of the Bonapartsts in
the establishment of the hereditary empire with the right
in the Emperor Of nominating successor in case OF the
failure of legitimate descendants. That question set
tled the motives for the exclusion Of De Morny from
public affairs will in great rest upon the Je
-Bonapartsts, and may then look to see this
really able and devoted personal partisan Of the Prince
President take the part in politics to which his talents
and character entite him. The General Council Of Puy
Dome, which may be presumed to have acted under
his inspiration passed the following address to Louis
Napoleon:

curty and confidence The Counc-General of Puy-de-
Dome would express to its profound gratitude in the
name of department which has hailed you with
the most patriotic enthusiasm and which has
cd place in you alone its hope of salvation But the
work is not yet finished, Prince When the term Of
temporary power draws nigh, confidence is paralyzed
the national industry is compromised the existence Of
the country put in question Stability in government
is the indispensable condition of nations prosperity
and grandeur 1t alone give its and
terprise their elasticity and power Convinced of the
truth Of those principles and full of trust in your
son, the Councillor expresses the hope that the
power with which you have been invested may be esab
shed upon the broadcast and durable bases and IL
condes to your patriotism the speedy realization Of its
hopes"
In the time petitions to the end freely
