Nap0leOn's Magma Charta-Freuch Opinion
Of the Letter Of Constitution.
Galiignani's Messenger, OF Paris, OF the 2sth OF
March, in summing up the opinions OF the French
city press on the subject OF Bonaparte's letter OF
Magma Charta ALREADY published in the HERALD
remarks as foows:
The Peuple Francats, the Public and the Purie-
nent are mistaken when, with the intention Of SOW
ing division among the members OF the Cabinet they
intimate that tue reform promoted by the ministry,
@ was q decided on 0i independently or Hu the Coan
Gil. The real facts are that Count Daru
and NJ: Emile Olivier with the formal con
sent OF all their colleagues applied themselves
more particularly TO inform the Emperor OF the
state OF pubic opinion relative TO the constituent
power, and TO thus prompt MS Majesty TO decide on
the measures which he has dennluvely adopted. AZ
TO N. Rouher, the statement Is correct as made by
The Peuple FToitcatS, that he was one morning IN
the early part or The week, informed by the En-
peror, and IN presence OF NJ. Olivier, OF the intention
which was to be carried out by the letter 10 the Mn
lister OF Justice. Wnat Is, however, untrue Is that
tle country Is indebted for the SeaGtns COnSut,nn
to understanding between the loriner Minister OF
State and NJ. Emile olivier.
