We have just had a great day "entirely"
for the Government. M. Olivier has gained
q decided victory in the Corps Legslatif. some
OF the 'right' would have been glad, with
out coalescing with the 'left," to have made
a motion, m0t,uee, which the latter could have
accepted. Had this been effected and voted, the
ministry must have resigned. M. Olivier knew
this, and took his precautions accordingly. The
''right" breads 'Ike the devil does holy water'
the withdrawal or article POI, which gives to the
minister not only power to refuse periodical per-
manent political meetings, but also all reunions OF
any nature comprised OF more than twenty persons.

members would hall with delight the return OF NJ.

be reelected.
M. olivier clearly intimated that should M. Du.

in reference to the question yesterday before the
Chamber the Cabinet would propose the abolition of
the article, and that then mis- majority would consist
of the centre dott ighs centre, and the gauce. The

M Olivier:-"If you oppose the motion p,lr 60 SIM

abolished during my administration, but If you do
not do so give you my word that it shall be an

d. Andelarre made his speech in that sense.
The next political event of the day is the position
OF NJ. Picard and his new party, the Gauche Constt-
taai0nnelle He and his friends take the same line
that NJ olivier formerly did before coming in to
power. Theirs may be considered legitimate Op-
position to the government This new party ls

doned republicanism to become supporters of the
Emperor. M. Picard himself Is at present in
a strange situation. Not only is he the largest

nounced itself as the organ Of the constitutional
party, and, consequently, has become Napoleonist.
