The Situation in France-NapoIeon and
the Radicals.
We have not had in many years 80 much of
what we should call uncertainty in regard to
French affairs as we have al the present mo-
ment. 1t is altogether a funny situation.
Napoleon has been brought under the test,
once more in his life, of a general election.
Considering the immense power which he
yields the presumption was that in the cleo
tions he would win. IL was not wonderful
that he did win but it was almost surprise
that he did not win more than he did Tho
votes we're counted; but the majority was 50
small, under the circumstances, that Napo-
leon felt it necessary TO consider popular feel
ing more seriously than in ordinary circum-
stances, and, as the result, to yield, or to
seem to yield, to popular demands. We all
know that the imperial mind, in the exercise
of its immense benevolence, gave birth to q
reform bll-a reform bill which left all 80
called reform bills, from the English stand
point, far behind, and which deprived all
French liberals of a single ground of com
plant but we have all now to confess, in the
spirit of honesty, that the Emperor was
never in his life 30 insincere as when he
granted those reforms. Months, many months
have rolled past since the elections; months.
too, have rolled past since the Chambers met
and since the reform programme was made
public. But the Chambers were some
what summarily prorogued, and since
the Propagation the most unsatisfactory
uncertainty has prevailed. 1t was expected
that the Chambers would be opened early 10
October 1t was confidently believed that the
Emperor would be ready with his measures
and with his men. In this expectation France
was counting without its host. The Emperor
Chambers are not to be opened until the 10Th
Of November.
We have stated the situation in such a man
ner as to cover the general question in France
begotten by the late elections and coming up
to the present hour. We have yet to say that
the Emperors delay has been fruitful OF
trouble and that even now, although the lib
eral deputies have wisely refrained from
course Of conduct which might have provoked
revolution and seriously mperilled liberty,
dissatisfaction is general and the situation is
serious. The liberal deputies who had resolved
to make demonstration at the door, IL not
inside, The bali Of legislation, have aban-
doned their purpose; but one Of them persists
in following out the original plan, and it is
manifest from our latest news that this active
one Is more in harmony with the liberal con
stituency throughout the country than the mac
tive many. One Of our latest kilograms
informs 10 that the "radical voters propose to
summon their representatives from Paris and
to ask them to resign their seats in the Corps
Legislatif on the ground that they have not
fulfilled their trusts" This Il one item Of
news; but, important and suggestive az it is,
it is not the only or the most important. IT is
