From dav TO day. nay from hour to hour, the
ronorted tide of reformation rises, and through the
confusion of contradictory reports of the excessive
ond tangng confusion Of various devices, and vary

the man OF st. Cloud anXiOusy busios himself Wlth
your reporter ventures to guess that he sees LOUIS
Napoleou scared at last earnestly struggling toward
Liberalism.
There is something solemnly laughable in the idea
Of his dcad-wood Senators, editing with consttu-
+ionsl cancellations, in Liberal sense, the SIX
propositions of his Mondays message. They arc
nineteen-twentieths of them-a wofuly behndhand

chance. growing within the last IS hours, that If
they can't Sec L. n b. will forcby operate on them
and impose, as it were, his plan of mixing oil and

The excessive and complex trouble his majesty

The intense embarrassment of Louis Napoleon for
the last four days Is TO find four five French gem

present need No ministry of this fortnight can be
more than provisional one.
For the moment we are without a government, or
rather are existing under more purely personal gov
eminent than ever. For there is nothing IN the SIX
concessions of tho Mondays message that offers the
slightest mpedment TO the EmpeTors constitutional

limitation of his powers he breaks up the meeting

This 10th day of July, thereiexists no Government
IN France but that of L. n. Bonaparte. The Corps
Legslatif is prOTOgued the Senate is not assembled
The political Ministers have sent in their resigna-
tons.
Ills Maiesty's difficulty in constituting new Min
istry is excessive. He is really now begging men
to take portfolios, For one cause and another the
few Of this old set and thefew OF an untred new set
to which his choice is limited are none Of them in
clined TO enter into Ministerial combination that
can be but transitoTy. For instance: Old Drouyn
de Lhuys feels call TO face hostile House; Segris
OF any other better OF worse Third Party man, ac-
cepts no call to waste himself in this provisional
Ministry-he prefers rather to keep himself in
highly preserved state, for active life in the new
parliamentary period prepared by the Third Party
and which-less revolutiOn-if inevitably coming.
