was seized, but by the connivance of a crowd that
had gathered, made his escape. The Figaro and the
GduOis publish yesterday drawings, plans and elab-
crate descriptions of the bombs the purpose of which
seems to be to persuade the public that the things do
actually exist Nothing is so good as what the
French call material evidence. Il once" said a

it possible to doubt that many arrests have been

than anybody-that the February plot was the in

other has been hatched and the official journal takes
the pains to say that the conspiracy extends its
ramfcations to the old. That is precisely what the
public believe, believing also that both have COM

1862 was in the midst of elections; i'll February it
was in the midst of parliamentary crisis; now 1t
is in the midst of the discussion on the PlGbsctum.

current of feeling had set strongly against
the Government; when the Emperor had proclaimed
openly his purpose to resume all the personal power
he had pretended to relinquish; when Nj. Olivier
had covered himself with rdcule by his pastoral
episte to the VAR when confidence at the Tuileries
in an overwhelming majority had been succeeded by
alarm when the Projects were sending up disheart-
ening reports from every province; when public
opinion all Europe had pronounced against the
PlGbiscitum when indignation against a breach of
faith so gigantic had given place to laughter at the
transparent failure of comedy so grotesque. At
such q moment there was need of desperate ex-
pedent and that necessity is more than enough to
explain the sudden appearance of the new plot.
