there until the 2oh Of March Ballot states that by
the order OF Flourens he has given successfully 100

Greffer.
Flourens has, as may be expected, denied the au-
thenticity OF his letters Many Of the radical news
papers and private individuals abuse the govern
ment for bringing the case before the Haute Cour,
but for my own part am of opinion that the Empe-
rOr and his ministers have decided wisely.
The conspiracy Is, In reality, but OF secondary
importance. The real object TO expose as fully as
possible the conduct OF the government and the
Vaccinations of the .'Reds,n so that the people OF
TINS and Of every other country may form just
opinion of the disasters which may ensue should
the doctrines of the socialists be allowed to stalk
unchecked. +"
