sooner was the Royal Family expelled, than the
Provisional Government raised its satellites to
the duties Of Master of the Horse who lost no time
In supplying Ledru Rollin, and the whole flock of
Professionals, with equpages from the ex-royal sta
bles suitable TO their newfedged dignities. Forty
one carriages and nincty-one horses, with coach
men footmen, and grooms, were appropriated to
The daily service OF these honest patriots and their
families For the seventy-ave days in which Citi-
zen Ledru Rollin reigned over France he had at
his orders four carriages, eighteen horses, and ten
servautsl "None Of the Kueg's sons" says the sx-
comptroller OF the Equipascs, "had erer had any
,ych establishment
IT appears that tho royal carriages were distin
guished, as ships are, by names such as Apollo, D
amond Duchess &c. and the horses by the same kind
of fancifu nomenclature that generally prevails in
stables. The cx-comptroller is somewhat of wag
and he says that in supplying the respective mem
bers of the new government with coaches, he wa.
guided by the names which seemed to him most
congenial to their respective characters The sati
ricsl aptitude Of the names of the horses appro
priated to Ledru Rollin, must strike everybody

As farther exhibition Of the kind of men who

which the Outs accommodate themselves to tn,
Injuries Of the Ins, which are horrible wher
viewed from outside, the ex-comptroller mention
that the ladies of the Provisional Government &C
colamodated themselves with the royal boxes q
the opera and theatres as freely as they did will
the equipages; and in answer to some objection
limited to one of them, she indicated the right @
herself and her Z" colleagues" as she called them

Dc our readers wish to know how these paten
republicans escaped the inconsistency of thei
theory and their practice. Louis Blanc shall er
tighten us on this head. delicious" ane'
dote the narrator terms it, is told Of that lttl
orator, who for forty days rode in an elegant lttl
britsker, once belonging to the luckless Louis Phi
lippe. One evening, Monsieur Blanc, after sooia
list lecture, he was stepping into his smart lt,l
vehicle attempted to reconcile his position wit
his doctrines by exclaiming to the crowd Of al
mirers who about to trudge home on foo
"The day will come, my friends, when you will a
ride in carriages" ...-
May We not, then, be pardoned for want Of fait
In Ledru Roliu, and for the impossibility Of syn
